Band on the Run is
the third studio album by Paul McCartney and Wings, released in
December 1973. It marked the fifth album by Paul McCartney since his
departure from the Beatles in April 1970. It's commercial performance
was aided by two hit singles - "Jet" and "Band on the Run" - such that
it became the top-selling studio album of 1974 in the United Kingdom and
Australia; in addition to revitalizing McCartney's critical standing.
It remains McCartney's most successful album and the most celebrated of
his post-Beatles works. The majority of Band on the Run was recorded at
EMI's studio in Lagos, Nigeria, as McCartney wanted to make an album in
an exotic locale. Shortly before departing for Lagos, however, drummer
Denny Seiwell and guitarist Henry McCullough left the group; with no
time to recruit replacements, McCartney went into the studio with just
his wife Linda and Denny Laine, doubling on drums, percussion and most
of the lead guitar parts himself as well as bass.
