Band On The Run, McCartney's Masterpiece?

Band On The Run, McCartney's Masterpiece?

By December 1973, no one could knock Paul's work ethic. It was now 3 years since he announced he was leaving The Beatles. In that time he had released 4 albums and 8 singles (in the UK). But although the albums had their moments, they were not on the same level as later Beatles albums - Sgt Pepper, White Album, Abbey Road.

Now, on the eve of recording a fifth album, his new band Wings was falling apart. But as we have seen throughout his career, Paul is not one for rolling over and giving up. Instead with surviving Wings members wife Linda and Denny Laine he travelled to Lagos, Nigeria and under the most basic of conditions created his post Beatle masterpiece, Band On The Run.

In this episode we tell the story of the recording of the album and discover why this is Paul's greatest post Beatles work.
