Directed and produced by visual artist Ben Ib.
April 2014 marks the 'Band on the Run' U.S. single's anniversary, released as a 7" on 8th April, 1974 (28th June 1974 in the UK, fact fans!).
The 'Band on the Run' album was recorded in EMI Studios, Lagos and AIR Studios, London between August and October of 1973. Wings were without a drummer at the time so Paul stepped in and recorded all the drum tracks. It was during the Lagos sessions that Paul and Linda were mugged losing their money, camera and the original album demos to the thieves!
This unfortunate event didn't stop 'Band on the Run' from becoming Wings' most successful album. It was the top selling album in the UK in 1974 and reached no.1 in the US on 3 separate occasions. It has gone on to sell over 7 million copies worldwide.
The 'band on the run' on the iconic front cover features broadcasters Michael Parkinson and Clement Freud, singer / actor Kenny Lynch, actor James Coburn, actor Christopher Lee, boxer John Conteh as well as Paul, Linda and Denny Laine
The album was re-mastered and reissued in 2010 as the first release in the on-going Paul McCartney Archive Collection, featuring previously unreleased performances and rare documentary footage.

I was singing this song in jail.
When you think of all the beautiful melodies this guy has created, he is a living world treasure.
Still listening on June 22, 2024!
This is my favorite childhood song. Paul McCartney had so many great songs it's unfathomable. Still listening 50 years later in 2024. Anyone else?
The Kiev Symphony Orchestra, numbering 70 people, escaped with musical instruments from Ukraine and received asylum in Germany. The orchestra, consisting of 2/3 men of mobilization age, left to participate in the festival, but did not return. The authorities of the city of Monheim am Rhein in North Rhine-Westphalia provided housing for the orchestra members and their families for three years. The symphony orchestra is an expensive organism. And it's not even about the instruments, but about the musicians. It is extremely difficult and expensive to find and train a capable musician, and then assemble an orchestra from such musicians. There was no such mass escape even in the history of the USSR, which Bandera propagandists brand a totalitarian concentration camp.
I remember when my father took me to Florida on vacation. We drove his mustang down. This song continuously played on the radio. I miss my dad.
Remember first hearing this as a 14 year old in '74 ...I was cleaning the garage and cranked this song up on the radio!
I love this song. Reminds me of another time, when things were simple.
Excuse my language but I F**king love this song
This is to my brother who left 10 months ago into another life. Love you big bro....forever🤟
50 years later and still an amazing song from the amazing legend!
The beginning part of the song has a sense of longing and dismay to it. The next part sort of has a sense of tension and urgency. Then the entire second half of the song has a feeling of release and freedom to it.
Wings was a fantastic group. Paul &Linda were amazing and so was this song!!!
I love this song 🎵 ❤️, Paul McCartney and the Wings 🪽 are an amazing group. Their music is phenomenal. Linda and Paul put love into their music 🎶 🎵, and it mirrored their relationship. They had a love that was beyond words.
RIP Denny Laine one of the greatest unsong songwriters.
Band on the run is the most beautiful and perfect song ever written and sing!
I received this album from a late friend. She gave it to me on my 16th birthday. I have been listening to this song for 50+ yrs.✌️😎
When this came out I was about 12 yrs old collecting baseball cards all summer long, playing ball and living in a different time than now... I miss that era...
I've always loved this song. Now that I've finished the restoration and 70s style conversion of my 1978 GMC van, I'm having "Van On The Run" airbrushed on the sides and spare tire cover.
My Momma had me listen to this song i'm now 22 and i pray for 100 more years of listening to this song with here in the summer time.
