Interesting Facts

• Band on the Run was a critical and commercial triumph for Paul McCartney & Wings, revitalizing his post-Beatles career and becoming one of the best-selling albums of the 1970s.
• The album was recorded under challenging conditions at a studio in Lagos, Nigeria, after two band members, Denny Seiwell and Henry McCullough, quit just before the trip. This left the core trio of Paul, Linda, and Denny Laine to complete the album.
• The album's cover art is one of the most famous in rock history, featuring Paul, Linda, and Denny Laine alongside several notable figures, including actor Christopher Lee and boxer John Conteh, all caught in a moment of "breaking out" of prison.
• The bonus disc of rough mixes, titled "Underdubbed," offers a unique behind-the-scenes look at the album's production, presenting the songs in a raw form before many of the final overdubs and polish were added.
