Paul McCartney & Wings classic record, Band on the Run, will be re-rel
eased on November 2. The record is the first release from the Paul McCartney Archive Collection.The re-mastering of Band on the Run, originally recorded in 1973, was supervised by McCartney who worked with the same team who did the recent re-mastering of the complete Beatles' catalog. The record will come in several formats, the single CD standard edition, the 2CD/1DVD special edition, the 3 CD/1 DVD deluxe edition and a vinyl edition. I have a well known Sir Paul soft spot, so I have my sights set on the deluxe edition! In addition to the re-mastered music, I'm looking forward to the packaging. I love a nicely packaged product.
Her
alded as one of the greatest albums of all time, the GRAMMY winning, smash # 1 album - originally released December of 1973 - yielded the immortal title track and world-wide hit “Jet” becoming Wings’ most successful and celebrated album ever.
Paul McCartney personally supervised all aspects of the Band on the Run reissue. The remastering work was done at Abbey Road using the same team who recently remastered the complete Beatles’ catalog.
Band on the Run will be available in a variety of formats originating with the single disc digitally remastered, essential 9-track standard edition. The 3 disc (2CD, 1 DVD) special edition features nine bonus audio tracks (including the top 10 smash “Helen Wheels”), rare footage of the McCartneys in Lagos and behind-the-scenes at the famous album cover shoot, original Band on the Run promotional video clips, the One Hand Clapping television special (highlighted by studio performances filmed at Abbey Road in 1974) all with beautifully enhanced packaging. Collectors will be especially thrilled by the 4 disc (3CD, 1 DVD) deluxe edition which adds an extraordinary 120-page hard bound book containing many unseen and unpublished photos by Linda McCartney and Clive Arrowsmith, album and single artwork, downloadable hi-res audio versions of the remastered album and bonus audio tracks, a full history of the album complete with a new interview with Paul and expanded track by track information for all four discs. The deluxe edition also includes a special Band on the Run audio documentary (originally produced for the 25th Anniversary edition.) The original remastered album and bonus audio content will also be issued in a 2 disc 180gm audiophile vinyl edition that comes with an MP3 download of all 18 tracks. Lastly, the standard and deluxe versions of Band on the Run will be available digitally worldwide.

ter Peter Doran released his latest album Sleepless Street this past July 23rd. If you like indie folk-pop, you might dig this Irishman's work. "Twisted Freak" from the record caught my ear. Something about that song reminded me of The Jayhawks for some reason. Check it out below.
