STUCK INSIDE THESE FOUR WALLS

NEVER SEEING NO ONE

MAMA, YOU
MAMA, YOU
Band on the Run
is the third
studio album
by the British
rock band
released on
November, 30th 1973
in the UK
Then December,5th
In The US
It was McCartney's
fifth album
after leaving
the Beatles
in April 1970
and his final album
on Apple Records.
Although sales were
modest initially,
its commercial performance
was aided by
two hit singles
"Jet"
and
"Band on the Run"
such that it became
the top-selling
studio album of 1974
in the United Kingdom
and Australia,
in addition to
revitalising McCartney's
critical standing.
It remains McCartney's
most successful album
and the most celebrated
of his
post-Beatles works.
The album was mostly
recorded at
EMI's studio in
Lagos, Nigeria,
as McCartney
wanted to make an album
in an exotic location.
Shortly before departing
for Lagos,
drummer
Denny Seiwell
and guitarist
Henry McCullough
left the group.
With no time to
recruit replacements,
McCartney went into the studio
with just his wife Linda
and
Denny Laine.
McCartney therefore
played bass,
drums,
percussion
and most of the
lead guitar parts.
The studio was of
poor quality
and conditions in Nigeria
were tense and difficult;
the McCartneys were
robbed at knifepoint,
losing a bag of
song lyrics
and demo tapes.
After the band's return
to England,
final overdubs
and further recording
were carried out in
London,
mostly at
AIR Studios.
