5.0 out of 5 starsAt last a classic
By A Customer on 21 April 2003
Format: Audio CD
Pauls solo career for the 4 years post the Beatles had been a rather patchy affair. After starting off with two decent albums, he followed that up with two very below par Wings efforts that prompted much mocking of the Wings line up, particularly the inclusion of Pauls wife Linda on keyboards. Here however, reduced to the three core members, Paul, Lindaa & Denny, they produce the kind of rock/pop music that the seventies were meant for.
Recorded in Lagos, their surroundings meant that they recorded an album that had a consistent sound about it, something all Wings previous efforts had failed at. Kicking off with two of pauls best songs, Band on The Run and Jet never fail to lift you up, two of pauls finest rock songs that both follow the theme of flight and escapism that runs throught his whole album.
Bluebird is a delightful acoustic number that again follows the theme of flight, although those expecting a Blackbird part two should look eslewhere. Mrs Vandebilt one can only assume is about returning to nature with its tribal like shouts of Ho-Hey-Ho .
Let Me Roll it still stands as one of Pauls best, a song he performs today with passion and vigour, and one that has been described as out-Lennoning Lennon. The heavy riffs over an organ fuelled drum beat are fantastic, and one cant wonder if the songs lyrics were also aimed at lennon (" I cant tell you how I feel, my heart is like a wheel....Let Me Roll It to you").
Mamunia is Pauls back to nature approach again, but is more successful than Mrs Vandebilt with a delightful melody and acoustics that celebrate the rain as Paul intended. No Words was a co-write between Paul and Denny, and both take turns in shring the vocals. Probably the weakest cut on the album, it still makes for good listening.Read more ›

5.0 out of 5 starsSuperb - one of my favourite albums
By cleveland_foley@hotmail.com on 7 Sept. 2000
Format: Audio CD
Where do you start with this album? I suppose one way to start is to say that I may not be alone in saying that it is up there with some of the best albums ever made. There is not a bad track on it, including the superb singles: 'Band On The Run', 'Jet' (the name of his Labrador puppies - a link to 'Martha My Dear' from The Whit Album, in that it is about a dog) and 'Helen Wheels'(McCartney's nickname for his Land Rover, the story of a trip down the M6, citing Glasgow, Carlisle, Liverpool and Birmingham) ; as well as fantastic album tracks such as 'Picasso's Last Words', 'Mrs Vandebilt'. Although all the songs are superb, I prefer the non-singles, especially the Lennon pastiche 'Let Me Roll It', the sublime 'Mamunia' (meaning safe-haven in Arabic) and the fantastic final track 'Nineteen Hundred and Eighty Five'. The album is one of the best post-Beatles albums, up there with 'Imagine' and George Harrison's 'All Things Must Pass'. If you are someone who loves The Beatles and is interested in expanding to their later solo efforts, this would be a perfect place to start, and 'Band On The Run' should be a part of everyone's record collection. Furthermore, the excellent and original front cover (including the likes of Michael Parkinson) is symbolic of the quality of the music inside. Conisdering the events in which McCartney recorded this, that he and his wife were almost murdered in Lagos (where the record was recorded), had their demo tapes stolen, and 2 members of the band left shortly before the album, meaning that McCartney had to do most of the playing of all the instruments, then this is a tremendous effort. A fantastic album from a superb artist, which deservedly won a pair of Grammy's in 1975 and was Britain's best-seller in 1974. It's one of my favourites of all time - make it one of yours!

5.0 out of 5 starsExcellent Buy
By Fox in the Box on 16 Jan. 2013
Format: Audio CD
I bought this edition of 'Band on the Run' (2 CD, 1 DVD set) just last week, having been recommended to do so by a friend of the family. He assured me that the album was "brilliant" and, in being a massive Beatles fan, I was sure to like it. Well, I have bought it and I have indeed viewed the contents of the set in full. Here's what I think:

This set is an absolute excellent buy and great value for money! I must admit that I knew the two staple songs from this album, 'Band on the Run' and 'Jet', before buying the record. It would be very easy to select either of these as the best on the album. However, like other reviewers have said, every song is a winner and you will only really be able to appreciate this by listening to the album in full.

There are some really amazing songs on here, like 'Bluebird', which is an incredible song, typical McCartney magic! 'Let Me Roll It' is a fantastic song with a killer guitar riff and amazing vocals. Personally, I found this song to be very Lennon-esque. 'Picasso's Last Words (Drink To Me)' is another piece of McCartney magic - written on the spot at a party in Jamaica when McCartney met actors Dustin Hoffman and Steve McQueen. Hoffman challenged Paul to write a song about Picasso, betting that he could not do so, and Paul wrote this on the spot, as I've said. The result is pretty incredible to listen to. Finally, the album's closer 'Nineteen Hundred and Eighty Five' is an excellent, feelgood song and finishes the record quite nicely.

Overall, 'Band on the Run' really surpassed my expectations; it's been a long time since I've been so impressed by such a good record. The remastered quality is excellent all round and, in saying that, this is really an album I can treasure for years to come now.Read more ›
