Band on the Run is the third studio album by Paul McCartney & Wings, released in December 1973. The majority of Band on the Run was recorded at EMI's studio in Lagos, Nigeria, as McCartney wanted to make an album in an exotic locale. Shortly before departing for Lagos, however, drummer Denny Seiwell and guitarist Henry McCullough left the group.

In addition to playing bass, McCartney also played drums, percussion and most of the lead guitar parts himself. On arriving, it
