Deluxe Reissue of Paul McCartney & Wings’ ‘Band on the Run’ Out in November

On November 2nd, Concord Music will re-release Band on the Run, Paul McCartney & Wings’ multi-platinum album from 1973. The Grammy-winning record has been remastered at Abbey Road using the same team who recently remastered The Beatles reissues. Sir Paul himself has overseen every aspect of the album’s re-release. The release is the first in Concord’s recently announced campaign to reissue the entirety of McCartney’s post-Beatles records.

The Band on the Run reissue will be available in four formats: standard, special, deluxe and vinyl. The standard edition will be simply the original album remastered. The special edition also includes a second CD of bonus tracks (mostly taken from the band’s 1974 “One Hand Clapping” television special) and a DVD with footage of the McCartneys in Lagos, original Band on the Run promotional videos, and the “One Hand Clapping” television special (highlighted by studio performances filmed at Abbey Road). For the deluxe edition, a third CD of the audio documentary originally produced for the 25th anniversary edition of Band on the Run in 1999 and now remastered is included, as well as a 120-page hardcover book containing unseen and unpublished photos by Linda McCartney and Clive Arrowsmith, album and single artwork, a full history of the album with a new interview with Paul, and expanded track-by-track information for all four discs. The vinyl edition contains the original album and bonus material on two 180-gram records and mp3 downloads for all the tracks. The standard and deluxe versions will also be available digitally.
