Paul McCartney & Wings ORIG US LP Band on the run NM ’73 With Poster Beatles 

Paul McCartney & Wings

Band on the run

Original US LP released in 1973 on Apple Records. Cat: SO3415. Comes with printed lyric inner bag which is in Excellent condition. Also has foldout poster which is in Excellent condition.

Neither the dippy, rustic Wild Life nor the slick AOR flourishes of Red Rose Speedway earned Paul McCartney much respect, so he made the self-consciously ambitious Band on the Run to rebuke his critics. On the surface, Band on the Run appears to be constructed as a song cycle in the vein of Abbey Road, but subsequent listens reveal that the only similarities the two albums share are simply superficial. McCartney's talent for songcraft and nuanced arrangements is in ample display throughout the record, which makes many of the songs  including the nonsensical title track  sound more substantial than they actually are. While a handful of the songs are excellent  the surging, inspired surrealism of "Jet" is by far one of his best solo recordings, "Bluebird" is sunny acoustic pop, and "Helen Wheels" captures McCartney rocking with abandon  most of the songs are more style than substance. Yet McCartney's melodies are more consistent than any of his previous solo records, and there are no throwaways.  

Tracks : Band on the run/ Jet/ Bluebird/ Mrs Vandebilt/ Let me roll it/ Mamunia/ No words/ Helen wheels/ Picasso's last words (drink to me)/ Nineteen hundred and eighty five.

Record is in Near Mint condition. Cover has some tiny surface tears around edges and is in VG++ condition.
