Nearly 46 years ago I purchased 'Band on the Run' on the day of release from my local record shop.
The album was Paul's fifth in just over three and a half years since leaving the Beatles following on from McCartney, Ram, Wild Life and Red Rose Speedway.
'Band on the Run' was preceded in October '73 by the single Helen Wheels/Country Dreamer.
The song was recorded during the sessions for the album in Lagos, but while it was included on the US version of the album it was strangely omitted from the UK version.
This meant Band on the Run didn't have a single release to help with the promotion of the album until Jet was released on the 15th February 1974.
While Band on the Run wasn't an instant hit with the buying public it all changed after the release of 'Jet' and the title track four months later to become album of the year in 1975!

The Hear Music/Concord Music Group dropped a bit of a clanger when releasing the first Paul McCartney Archive Collection package. The only extra content available in the expensive archive collection compared to the cheaper 2CD/DVD edition of Band on the Run was the previously released 'disc 2' in the Band on the Run 25th Anniversary 2CD set released in 1999.

The debut UK release of Band on the Run arrived on the 7th December containing 9 songs.
Helen Wheels had been a Top 10 hit in October '73 in the UK and Paul had carried on the Beatles tradition of not always including singles on albums.
He'd already released, Another Day '71, Give Ireland Back To The Irish '72, Mary Had A Little Lamb '72, Hi Hi Hi '72, Live And Let Die '73, Helen Wheels '73 and their respective b-side as non-album tracks.
It was all to change as Parlophone realised as good as the album was Band on the Run had begun to slip down the charts and needed to be promoted through the singles market.
Mid February '74 saw the release of Jet coupled with Let Me Roll It as the first single, followed by the title track Band on the Run with an instrumental, the signature tune of a TV show called Zoo Gang....
