McCartney Times

Band on the Run, the third studio album by Paul McCartney and Wings, remains the frontman’s most successful and critically acclaimed effort of his post-Beatles years. Released in December 1973, the LP features classics such as the title track and ‘Jet’. It is also notable for being mostly recorded at record label EMI’s studio in Lagos, Nigeria, as McCartney wanted to make an album in a glamorous location. However, things didn’t go as swimmingly as expected for McCartney and the band in West Africa. Shortly before they left for Nigeria, drummer Denny Seiwell and guitarist Henry McCullough quit the group. With no time to recruit their replacements, Wings’ remaining members, McCartney, his wife Linda, and co-founding guitarist Denny Laine, entered the studio after arriving in Nigeria on August 9th, 1973.
