thanks to runo for sharing this rip with me Payl McCartney and Wings - 1973 Band On The Run DCC Gold Disc. Steve Hoffman's Remaster by server_alliance album review - wikipedia Band on the Run is an album by Paul McCartney & Wings, released in 1973. McCartney's fifth album (or Wings' third), it stunned everyone with its quality and became his most successful album since the demise of The Beatles and one of the most celebrated of their solo albums. It was one of 1974's top-selling albums, and revitalized McCartney's critical standing. After the success of Red Rose Speedway, "Live And Let Die" - the new James Bond theme song, was released as the next Wings single (without McCartney's name in the artist credit) and became a worldwide smash. It was at this juncture that Paul and wife Linda McCartney began contemplating their next album. Bored with recording in the UK, they really wanted to challenge themselves and Wings by going to some exotic locale. Asking EMI to send him a listing of all their international recording studios, Paul happened upon Lagos in Nigeria and was instantly taken with the idea of recording in Africa. Alongside the McCartneys, guitarist Denny Laine was set to go, as well as lead guitarist Henry McCullough and drummer Denny Seiwell. Unfortunately, the night before departing in late August, both McCullough and Seiwell quit Wings, leaving the remaining core of the band, Paul, Linda and Denny, to venture to Lagos alone. Whilst there, both McCartneys were mugged at knifepoint, were accosted in the studio by legendary musician Fela Kuti for fear that Paul was plagarizing African music (fears which McCartney quickly dissuaded by playing Kuti the recorded music), and were insisted upon recording at Ginger Baker's studio in Lagos (where he currently lived) by the man himself, once he heard McCartney was in town. It was a most action-packed time, clearly, and one which only saw the recording of the ensuing album's backing tracks. In October, after the band's return to London, final overdubs and orchestral tracks were overdubbed and the album was finished. "Helen Wheels" was released as a non-album single at the end of the month, becoming a worldwide Top 10 by the end of the year. As Band On The Run was being prepared for release, Capitol Records, who distributed The Beatles' Apple Records label there, slotted "Helen Wheels" into the album - although it was never McCartney's intention to do so. The 1993 international CD reissue of the album - without the single interrupting the album's line-up - confirms this. Band On The Run was issued that December to positively glowing reviews, with even the staunchest McCartney detractor calling it stellar. The songs were intantaneous, fresh and vital and were instrumental in making McCartney officially the most successful ex-Beatle. The commercial reaction was slow, with the album gradually inching its way up the charts, but by the spring of 1974, bolstered by the hits "Jet" and its title track, Band On The Run was a monumental success. It reached #1 in the US on three separate occasions - a first, and eventually went triple platinum. In the UK, it spent seven weeks at the summit that summer, becoming the top selling British album of 1974. Its lingering success was also beneficial in allowing Wings the time to locate a new guitarist and drummer and integrate them into the band before beginning new recordings. The cover of Band On The Run is also noteworthy. Shot on 28 October 1973, it depicts the now well-known shot of Paul, Linda, and Denny plus six other celebrities dressed as convicts caught in the spotlight of a prison searchlight. They are: Michael Parkinson, journalist and UK chat-show host, Kenny Lynch, singer, actor and comedian, James Coburn, Hollywood actor, Clement Freud, gourmet, raconteur and later UK politician, Christopher Lee, UK actor, best known for roles in horror films, and John Conteh, Liverpool boxer who later became World Light-Heavyweight champion. The picture was taken against a garden wall in Osterley Park, Brentford. References to the cover were to be made later by McCartney himself (in the video for "Spies Like Us", along with Chevy Chase and Dan Aykroyd) as well as others (such as the movie poster for the Dreamworks' animated film Madagascar (film), which depicts the main characters standing against a wall in a pose similar to the original "Band on the Run" photo.) In early 1975, Band On The Run won the "Best Pop Vocal Performance By a Duo, Group or Chorus" Grammy. In 1993, Band On The Run was remastered and reissued on CD as part of "The Paul McCartney Collection" series with "Helen Wheels" and its B-Side "Country Dreamer" as bonus tracks. Band on the Run was also re-released in 1999 as a special 25th aniversary edition with a bonus disc of interview material and alternate performances of many of its songs. In 2002, Band On The Run was placed at #418 in the List of Rolling Stone's 500 Greatest Albums of All Time. |

Прежде всего: спасибо за релиз. Дареному коню (в нашем случае - ослу) в зубы, конечно, не смотрят. Поэтому занял очередь на осла. Но все же, почему не в торрент? Olch возражает? |

Такие вещи должны жить долго, и не только для Нетлаба, я думаю. Хотя сам к Полу отношусь с лёгкой иронией! Он мне только что рякнул по телефону, и сказал, что он тоже. |

Ребята,а "Tripping the Live Fantastic" в таком же качестве есть? Или хотя бы получше чем изначально издавался? Помню в 90х на катушке ходила запись явно на порядок качеством выше чем компакт-диск. |
