Band on the Run is the 3rd studio album by the British–American rock band Paul McCartney and Wings, released in December 1973. Information technology was McCartney'south fifth album later leaving the Beatles in April 1970. Although sales were modest initially, its commercial functioning was aided by two hit singles – "Jet" and "Band on the Run" – such that information technology became the meridian-selling studio anthology of 1974 in the Britain and Australia, in add-on to revitalising McCartney'south critical standing. It remains McCartney'southward almost successful album and the most historic of his post-Beatles works.

The album was by and large recorded at EMI'south studio in Lagos, Nigeria, as McCartney wanted to make an album in an exotic location. Shortly before departing for Lagos, drummer Denny Seiwell and guitarist Henry McCullough left the group. With no time to recruit replacements, McCartney went into the studio with just his married woman Linda and Denny Laine. McCartney therefore played bass, drums, percussion and virtually of the lead guitar parts.[2] The studio was of poor quality and conditions in Nigeria were tense and difficult; the McCartneys were robbed at knifepoint, losing a bag of song lyrics and demo tapes. After the band's render to England, terminal overdubs and further recording were carried out in London, mostly at AIR Studios.

In 2000, Q magazine placed Ring on the Run at number 75 in its listing of the "100 Greatest British Albums Always". In 2012, information technology was listed at 418 on Rolling Rock's revised list of "The 500 Greatest Albums of All Fourth dimension".[iii] A contemporary review past Jon Landau in Rolling Rock described the album equally existence "with the possible exception of John Lennon'due south Plastic Ono Band, the finest record even so released by any of the four musicians who were once chosen the Beatles".[4] It was McCartney's last album issued on the Apple record label. In 2013, Ring on the Run was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame.[5]

Background [edit]

Paul thought, 'I've got to do information technology, either I requite upwardly and cutting my throat or [I] go my magic back.'[6]

– Linda McCartney to Sounds mag

By 1973, three years after the break-up of the Beatles, Paul McCartney had however to regain his artistic credibility or find favour with music critics for his mail-Beatles piece of work.[7] [8] After completing a successful Great britain tour with his band Wings, in July 1973,[9] he planned their third album as a means to re-establish himself after the mixed reception given to Wild Life and Ruby Rose Speedway.[ten] [11]

Keen to record outside the United Kingdom, McCartney asked EMI to send him a list of all their international recording studios. He selected Lagos in Nigeria and was attracted to the idea of recording in Africa. In August, the ring – consisting of McCartney and his wife Linda, ex-Moody Blues guitarist and pianist Denny Laine, Henry McCullough on pb guitar, and Denny Seiwell on drums – started rehearsals for the new album at the McCartneys' Scottish subcontract. During one rehearsal session, McCullough and McCartney argued, and McCullough quit.[12] Seiwell left a calendar week after, the night before the band flew out to Nigeria.[thirteen] This left but McCartney, Linda and Laine to record in Lagos, assisted by former Beatles engineer Geoff Emerick. McCartney had chosen Lagos, every bit he felt it would be a glamorous location where he and the band could sun on the beach during the day and record at nighttime; the reality, all the same, was that after the cease of a civil war in 1970, Nigeria was run by a military government, with abuse and disease commonplace.[14] [15]

Recording [edit]

The band and their entourage arrived in Lagos on nine August 1973.[1] EMI'due south studio, located on Wharf Route in the suburb of Apapa, was ramshackle and under-equipped. The control desk-bound was faulty and there was only i record machine, a Studer 8-track. The band rented houses near the airport in Ikeja, an hour away from the studio. McCartney, Linda and their three children stayed in 1, while Laine, his wife JoJo, Emerick, and Wings' two roadies stayed in some other.

The group established a routine of recording during the week and playing tourist on the weekends. McCartney temporarily joined a local country guild, where he would spend near mornings. The band would be driven to the studio in the early afternoon where recording would terminal into the belatedly evening and sometimes early morn. To brand upwardly for the departed band members, McCartney would play drums and lead guitar parts, in improver to his contributions on bass guitar, with Laine playing rhythm guitar and Linda adding keyboards.[2] The starting time runway they recorded at Apapa was "Mamunia",[16] the title for which McCartney appropriated from the name of a hotel in Marrakesh where Wings had stayed in April 1973.[17]

It's a drove of songs and the bones idea about the band on the run is a kind of prison escape. At the start of the album, the guy is stuck inside four walls and breaks out. There is a thread, but not a concept.[xvi]

– Paul McCartney

Several of the songs on Band on the Run reflect themes of escape and freedom,[18] while the structure of the anthology recalled the Beatles' Sgt. Pepper'southward Lonely Hearts Club Band and Abbey Road.[nineteen] The song "Band on the Run" was partly inspired by a remark George Harrison had fabricated during one of the many business organization meetings the Beatles attended in 1969,[16] in an effort to accost the issues afflicting their Apple tree Corps enterprise. Four years subsequently, the album's creation coincided with what author Peter Doggett terms McCartney's "moral victory in the debate over Allen Klein", as Harrison, John Lennon and Ringo Starr now became embroiled in litigation against Klein[twenty] – the business concern director they had appointed to run Apple in 1969, despite potent opposition from McCartney.[21] Doggett writes that McCartney was mayhap liberated creatively by this recent development, resulting in Band on the Run bearing "a frothy self-conviction that was reminiscent of the Beatles at their nearly productive".[22]

Aside from the challenges presented by the substandard studio, various incidents plagued Wings' Lagos stay. While out walking i nighttime confronting advice, McCartney and Linda were robbed at knifepoint. The assailants fabricated abroad with all of their valuables and even stole a bag containing a notebook total of handwritten lyrics and songs, and cassettes containing demos for songs to be recorded.[7] On another occasion, McCartney was overdubbing a song track when he began gasping for air. According to Emerick: "Within seconds, [McCartney] turned every bit white equally a sheet, explaining to us in a croaking voice that he couldn't catch his breath. We decided to have him outside for some fresh air ... [but] in one case he was exposed to the blazing oestrus he felt fifty-fifty worse and began keeling over, finally fainting dead away at our feet. Linda began screaming hysterically; she was convinced that he was having a eye assail ... The official diagnosis was that he had suffered a bronchial spasm brought on past too much smoking."[23] Another incident was the confrontation with local Afrobeat pioneer and political activist Fela Kuti, who publicly accused the band of existence in Africa to exploit and steal African music later their visit to his club. Kuti went to the studio to confront McCartney, who played their songs for him to show that they contained no local influence. After on, drummer and erstwhile Foam member Ginger Baker invited Wings to record their unabridged anthology at his ARC Studio in Ikeja. McCartney agreed to get at that place for one day. The song "Picasso's Last Words (Drinkable to Me)" was recorded at ARC, with Baker contributing a percussive tin of gravel.

[Paul and I] made the anthology as though nosotros weren't in a band, as though we were just 2 producers/musicians.[24]

– Denny Laine

Recording for the bulk of the album'due south basic tracks, together with initial overdubbing, was completed after half dozen weeks in Nigeria.[25] After hosting a embankment barbecue to celebrate the end of recording,[23] Wings flew back to England on 23 September 1973[26] where they were met by fans and journalists.[ane] Upon returning to London, the McCartneys received a letter of the alphabet from EMI dated earlier the band had left England warning them to non go to Lagos due to an outbreak of cholera.[27]

In October, 2 weeks after the band'south return to London, work began at George Martin'due south AIR Studios on transferring many of the eight-track recordings to 16-rail.[25] "Jet", named after one of the McCartneys' Labrador puppies, was recorded in its entirety at AIR.[28] [29] McCartney, Laine and Linda carried out further overdubs on the Lagos recordings during this period; all the orchestral arrangements for the anthology were taped at AIR in a single solar day, conducted by Tony Visconti.[25] Visconti was given three days to write the arrangements, including the sixty-piece orchestra for the title runway. Visconti said that the arrangements were collaborations with McCartney, and was surprised he was not correctly credited for his work until the 25th anniversary reissue.[30] Another contributor was saxophonist Howie Casey, who overdubbed solos on "Bluebird", "Mrs. Vanderbilt"[sixteen] and "Jet", and would go on to become Wings' regular horn player.[31] Terminal mixing on the anthology was completed over iii days at London'southward Kingsway Studios in early on November.[1]

"Helen Wheels" was released as a non-album single in late Oct, and became a peak 10 hit in America the following Jan.[32] For commercial reasons, Capitol Records, the U.s. distributor for Apple Records, asked to include "Helen Wheels" on the album. McCartney agreed, although it was never his intention to include the track.[33] While "Helen Wheels" is not included on UK versions of the Band on the Run CD (except every bit a bonus cut on the 1993 "The Paul McCartney Collection" edition of the CD), it has e'er appeared on United states of america editions of the CD starting with the initial Columbia Records release in 1984. Early versions of the Capitol release fail to list "Helen Wheels" on the label or the CD insert, making the song a "subconscious rails".

Comprehend artwork [edit]

The album cover photograph was taken at Osterley Park, due west London, on 28 October 1973 by photographer Clive Arrowsmith.[25] It depicts McCartney, Linda and Laine plus six other well-known people dressed as convicts caught in the spotlight of a prison searchlight.[34] They are Michael Parkinson, Kenny Lynch, James Coburn, Clement Freud, Christopher Lee and John Conteh.[34] Arrowsmith detailed that the eventual cover was one of the four he found adequate in the 24 attempts he took. The spotlight's low potency meant everyone had to stand up still for ii seconds for proper exposure, which was fabricated difficult by the lensman and subjects reportedly being in a "substance brume" following a party held by McCartney, making it harder for them to concord the pose. The aureate hue of the picture is due to Arrowsmith using a regular daytime moving-picture show instead of a Tungsten film, which would be better suited for dark-time photographs.[35]

Release [edit]

Apple Records issued Ring on the Run on 5 December 1973 in America (every bit Apple And so 3415),[36] with the UK release post-obit two days later[37] (as Apple PAS 10007).[38] Rather than having the ring promote the album on radio and television or with a tour, McCartney undertook a series of magazine interviews, well-nigh notably with Paul Gambaccini for Rolling Stone.[39] The conversations with Gambaccini took place at various locations from September 1973 onwards[40] and combined to form, in the words of authors Chip Madinger and Mark Easter, "a remarkably forthcoming interview in comparison to the 'thumbs-aloft' profiles usually allowed by [McCartney]".[39]

Upon release, Band on the Run received mostly favourable reviews. Writer Robert Rodriguez writes that, subsequently the disappointment of McCartney's previous work since the Beatles, "It was exactly the tape fans and critics had long hoped he would make …"[50]

In a combined review for Starr's concurrently released Ringo anthology, Charles Shaar Murray of the NME wrote: "The ex-Beatle least likely to re-constitute his credibility and atomic number 82 the field has pulled it off with a positive master-stroke of an album entitled Band On The Run." In addition to praising McCartney for using synthesizer "like an musical instrument, and not like an electrical whoopee cushion", Shaar Murray ended: "Band On The Run is a groovy album. If everyone always puts down McCartney in your presence, bust him in the snoot and play him this. He will give thanks you for it afterwards."[51]

Writing in The New York Times, Loraine Alterman considered the album to be "bursting with a great deal of compelling music fifty-fifty if the lyrics at times make every bit much sense as that embrace photograph" and admired the "fascinating range of sounds" offered in the title rails, as well as the "lovely, romantic aura" of "Bluebird". While noting the importance of studio production on the overall effect, Alterman wrote: "McCartney has managed to make the complexities of multi-track recording sound as natural and fresh as tomorrow."[52] Jon Landau of Rolling Rock described the album as "with the possible exception of John Lennon'due south Plastic Ono Band, the finest record yet released by any of the four musicians who were once called the Beatles".[4] Rolling Rock named Band on the Run one of the Best Albums of the Year for 1973.[53]

Village Voice critic Robert Christgau wrote in 1981: "I originally underrated what many consider McCartney'southward definitive post-Beatles argument, but not every bit much every bit its admirers overrate information technology. Pop masterpiece? This? Certain it'due south a relief after the vagaries of Wild Life and Red Rose Speedway." He praised the title track and the "Afro-soul" introduction to "Mamunia", calling them "the loftier points". Christgau ultimately awarded the album a C+ rating, indicating "a not disreputable performance, nigh likely a failed experiment or a pleasant piece of hackwork".[41] In his retrospective review for AllMusic, Stephen Thomas Erlewine feels that while some songs are fantabulous and the anthology overall is enjoyable, information technology is more showmanship than content.[x] The Rolling Stone reviewer of the 30th Ceremony Deluxe Edition said that "the real action still lies in the original LP's revved-up pleasures".[46] Writing for Mojo magazine in 2011, John Harris included Band on the Run among "the trilogy of truly essential post-Beatles solo albums", along with Harrison'southward All Things Must Pass and Lennon's Plastic Ono Ring.[54]

In 2000, Q magazine placed Band on the Run at number 75 in its list of the "100 Greatest British Albums Always". In 2012, it was voted 418th on Rolling Rock 's revised listing of "The 500 Greatest Albums of All Time".[3] The album is featured in the volume 1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die.[55]

Commercial performance [edit]

The commercial reception was unspectacular initially, with the record-buying public wary afterwards Wings' preceding releases.[56] [57] On the UK Albums Nautical chart, Band on the Run climbed to number 9 on 22 December,[58] remaining there for a 2d week before dropping to number thirteen.[59] On America's Billboard Top LPs & Record nautical chart, it peaked at number 7 on two February 1974 and then spent the next half-dozen weeks in the lower reaches of the top ten.[60] The album went on to reach considerable success, notwithstanding, thanks to the popularity of the two singles culled from it – "Jet" and the title track.[vi] [25] Writing in 1981, Bob Woffinden described Band on the Run as the starting time Beatles-related release to exist "planned with a marketing strategy",[56] as Capitol Records now assumed a fully agile role in promoting the album post-obit the removal of Klein'southward ABKCO Industries equally managers of Apple. Although McCartney had been reluctant to issue album tracks every bit singles,[61] the public's apparent lack of interest in Band on the Run led to him ceding to the recommendations of Capitol'due south head of marketing, Al Coury,[62] who had similarly pushed for the inclusion of "Helen Wheels". McCartney therefore authorised single edits for the two new A-sides.[29]

"Jet" was issued on 28 Jan in America, with "Mamunia" as the B-side for the single's initial pressings, although this was before long replaced by "Permit Me Curl It", which was the B-side for the UK release, on 15 Feb.[63] The single'south success provided new impetus for the album,[64] [65] which hit number 2 in the Great britain at the end of March[66] and topped Billboard 'due south listings on 13 April.[threescore] Apple issued "Band on the Run" on 8 Apr in America, backed past "Nineteen Hundred and Eighty-5";[67] the U.k. release followed on 28 June, with the non-anthology instrumental "Zoo Gang" as the B-side.[68] Due to the popularity of "Band on the Run",[25] the anthology returned to number 1 on Billboard on 8 June, when the single simultaneously topped the Hot 100.[69] In Britain, the album finally hit number 1 on 27 July,[70] for the first of seven sequent weeks at the top.[71] [72] On the alternative UK listings compiled by Melody Maker, Band on the Run remained in the top ten from 26 January through to 23 November 1974. During that fourth dimension, its chart operation similarly reflected the popularity of the two singles, with the anthology spending three weeks at number 2 in Apr, and half dozen weeks at number one throughout Baronial and the start week of September.[73]

The anthology topped the Billboard nautical chart on three separate occasions during 1974,[60] and was the top selling album of that twelvemonth in Australia[74] and Canada.[75] In Britain, it came 2nd in the year-end standings, behind the compilation The Singles: 1969–1973 by the Carpenters.[76] Through this success with Wings, McCartney established himself as the most commercially successful of the iv onetime Beatles.[22] [56] Rodriguez views the album's inflow at number one on Billboard, in April 1974, as the moment when McCartney usurped George Harrison as the "ex-Beatle Most Probable to Succeed", and then beginning a menses of public acclamation that reached its zenith with the Wings Over America Tour in 1976.[77]

Ring on the Run was eventually certified triple platinum by the Recording Manufacture Association of America; it would get on to sell vi million copies worldwide[67] and become EMI'southward top selling album of the 1970s in the UK.[56] Its continued success through 1974 was also beneficial in allowing Wings to recruit a new guitarist and drummer, and to integrate them into the band before beginning new recordings.[78]

The package includes an actress disc of live renditions of songs throughout the years, likewise as cursory new renditions past McCartney.
