Item Description
Stuck inside these four walls, sent inside forever, Never seeing no one nice again like you, Mama, you, mama, you.
If I ever get out of here, Thought of giving it all away, To a registered charity.
All I need is a pint a day, If I ever get out of here.....
Well, the rain exploded with a mighty crash, as we fell into the sun, And the first one said to the second one there, I hope you re having fun.
Band on the run, band on the run.
And the jailer man and sailor Sam were searching every one.....
For the band on the run, band on the run, Band on the run, band on the run.
Well, the undertaker drew a heavy sigh, seeing no one else had come, And a bell was ringing in the village square, for the rabbits on the run.
Band on the run, band on the run.
And the jailer man and sailor Sam, were searching every one.....
For the band on the run, band on the run, Band on the run, band on the run.
Well, the night was falling as the desert world, began to settle down.
In the town they re searching for us every where, but we never will be found.
Band on the run, band on the run.
And the county judge, who held a grudge, Will search for evermore For the band on the run, band on the run, Band on the run, band on the run.
PAUL McCARTNEY WINGS: Band On The Run LP.
THE VERY FIRST UK PRESSING, 15th DECEMBER 1973.
WITH AN UNUSED FIRST ISSUE GLOSSY POSTER AND UNIQUELY SHAPED LYRIC / PICTURE TEXTURED INNER SLEEVE.
EVEN THE COVER HAS EXCLUSIVE FEATURES, A 1960 s SPINE DESIGN, FLAT FOR THE MAIN SECTION, WITH THE ENDS TAPERED INTO POINTS.
THAT CREATED A SLOPING BOWED SHAPE TO THE FRONT, A VERY RARE UNWORN FIRST ISSUE Band On The Run IS VERY RARE INDEED, ALL THIS COVER HAS IS MINIMAL NATURAL TRAITS OF STANDING UNUSED FOR 44 YEARS.
APPLE LABEL: PAS 10007 .
In 1973 EMI were still using the same thick textured labels as in the 1960 s, when the centre holes were removed as the final stage of pressing, the impact created spoke like lines in the textured paper radiating away from the hole.
I often compare the effect to a bullet hole, they are nor spindle traces or from handling but the look of a just pressed record.
The labels are like brand new, my pictures were taken in dazzlingly bright sunshine this morning and being that revealing, you can see every detail, including the thick label paper.
MAITRIX: YEX 929 - 1 / YEX 930 - 1 The end digits were increased as the massive amount made went further into the pressing cycle, -1 / -1 was the starting point of the indexing, it s been many years since I last saw a very first pressing in such immaculate condition.
There were no U letters after the final digit for Band On The Run, as usual I included a picture of the very first maitrix.
EMI STAMPING CODES: OG 1 / G 3 M was crossed out, then G stamped G was the intended letter representing 1 in EMI s code, as I constantly say about the very common stamping errors, only when the first letter or digit was stamped incorrectly, it was generally crossed out and re-stamped.
A second or third letter / digit after the intended indexing error, was normally left without crossing it out, because only first letter s / digit s were considered relevant.
The above places this from the first pressing s made prior to the December release date, fuller details concerning the maitrix will be given below.
There is plenty to cover for the printed items STRICTLY FIRST ISSUE ONLY, 1973 SOFTLY TEXTURED AND UNIQUELY SHAPED LYRICS PICTURE INNER SLEEVE.
Exactly as I have only just described for other EMI /Apple first pressing s from the era, also printed by Garrod Lofthouse .
John Lennon s 1973 Mind Games and George Harrison s Dark Horse albums, the shape continued until 1975 but after 1974 they were made from smooth, thicker cardboard, for example, John Lennon s Shaved Fish Pink Floyd s Wish You Were Here.
All the immediately following 1970 s re-issue inner sleeves were made from standard stiff cardboard, with totally different shapes to the corners, these first issue textured paper inner s were never made again.
Re-issues had several variations to the corners, they are not important now and are plentiful on ebay to see, the textured paper inner s were unique to first pressings or original Band On The Run albums, the soft textured paper in an exclusive shape was never repeated for any later EMI / Apple LP titles.
To enable insertion to the cover without creasing the corners facing inwards, thoughtfully, the front or the picture side had the bottom corner finished at 45 degrees.
Placing that on the left hand side for inserting into the cover, the right side bottom corner was square or at 90 degrees.
The top pair of corners were also finished at 45 degrees, in other words only the bottom right was square, the other three were mitered or at 45 degrees, so are the re-issues, only these very first issues have one corner shaped on the bottom right,when reversed the bottom left.
As re-issues continued.....and continued, the inner sleeve was discontinued and replaced with a plain white one, the lyrics picture were printed as a double sided, 12 x 12 single sheet insert.
The softly textured inner sleeves were vulnerable to side and bottom splits from contact with the record s edges, even in 1973 when being boxed in the factory and distributed to record shops.
The textured top surface wore with constant handling and ring the same wear as the covers suffered from, set in as well, the top opening tore easily and the edges became creased.
Even for this extremely rare unplayed record, I anticipated splits and some rubbing, but this really is an all round incredible first issue.
The is no wear at all to the centre of the sides and such minuscule standing signs on the bottom centre, I can state this is still how it was first bought in December 1963.
No ring wear, creases, ageing or hint of human contact, so the top edges are as crisp as they were 44 years ago.
Even the record s impression is so gentle, there is no more than a few associated ripples please see my pictures of both side.
To achieve that and for the cover s extraordinary condition, amazingly the record was not removed but left inside the inner sleeve cover, my first action after buying it was to place the record into a new, plain white sleeve.
They are easily replaced and I strongly recommend treating the original inner sleeve like an insert to read and look at, preserving this rarely seen as new condition indefinitely.
THE TOTALLY UNAGED, UNUSED INNER SLEEVE IS IN MINT- CONDITION.
FIRST ISSUE LARGE COLOUR Band On The Run POSTER, MEASURING, 27 x 20.5.
UNCONVENTIONALLY, FIRST PRINTED POSTERS WERE FACTORY FOLDED WITH THE PRINTED SIDE ON THE OUTSIDE.
A huge poster signed by Linda, printed autograph who took all the photo s in Lagos, a wonderful item printed on one side which has a semi-glossy top surface.
A very thick poster with a textured matt reverse side, still the original 1973 pure white colour, unique to first editions or originals, the borders between the multiple collage of pictures are a creamy colour, that would later become pure white and by then made from thinner paper.
The strongest sun so far this year added it s own colour tones, so I will stress there is no ageing.
THIS HAS NEVER SEEN THE LIGHT OF DAY OR BEEN HANDLED, SO JUST THE ORIGINAL PRINTER S FOLDS.
THE POSTER IS IN, NEVER LEFT THE COVER , MINT- CONDITION.
The posters had to be inside the cover and against the record within the paper inner sleeve, I know this is stating the obvious, a few ripples had to form and the same applies to the unopened folds in 44 years.
UNUSED, PERFECTLY STORED, RARE VERY FIRST EDITION ONLY, Garrod Lofthouse PRINTED COVER WITH THE SPINE SHAPED LIKE THE 1960 s DESIGN.
FLAT FOR THE MAIN SECTION, WITH THE ENDS TAPERED INTO POINTS, AS MENTIONED, CREATING A BOWED OR SLOPING FRONT.
THE IMMEDIATE FOLLOWING COVERS DID NOT HAVE THAT AND THE ALBUM TITLE AND THE CATALOGUE WERE ALSO PRINTED ON THE TOP EDGE.
I have discussed this design in great detail for so many listing s, my grumble was how the Band On The Run cover was matt and not laminated, then, so was the first pressings of John Lennon s Mind Games album, issued a month earlier in November, 1973.
Why was the 1973 export only Hey Jude album fully laminated, when Mind Games Band On The Run had matt covers? Although re-printed when the same templates were used for the multitude of re-issues of Band On The Run, in December, 1973 the encoded date was appearing for the first time, located on the back very bottom right corner, the printer s credit format had A circled L followed by, 7312 Garrod Lofthouse Ltd.
PAS 10007.
That does not require decoding but I do not like mysteries to surround a loved album, 7312 is of course first the year, then the month of the LP s release.
Band On The Run was undoubtedly Paul McCartney s masterpiece, only Ram is able to challenge it for his greatest ever album, a personal opinion, but one shared by many, many others.
I sincerely believe Linda was essential to Paul s music, like Yoko she inspired him, without wishing to sound disrespectful but Linda s vocal harmonies were as perfectly suited to Paul s voice as John s and George s were.
Add in Denny, and on Band On The Run you have the finest vocal harmonies since the Beatles broke up, I am getting too far into the album As stunning as the music was, the cover was as flimsy as John s just released Mind Games , considering the status of both artists, what was going on at EMI?? In 1973, George Harrison s single LP Living In The Material World was issued in a deluxe gatefold cover, thickly laminated on the outside and the inside but John and Paul had to settle for a matt single cover, there were better quality bootleg album covers available.
Band On The Run just wore out as you looked at it let alone used it, ring wear appeared overnight and the superb artwork became a shadow of itself, as the colours faded and the dark brown background.....
Not this time, this cover was preserved with such loving care, I feel guilty about how my first bought copy ended up In 1973 I played the album non stop and only Before The Egg falls just behind for one of Paul s original covers, destined to end up looking like a battered wreck This really is a beauty, stunning is not an over statement and not just because it was unused, the colours of the artwork are unfaded and deeply toned, severe problems affected this cover as a first issue or a much later re-issue.
Few are still in this astounding condition, devoid of outlined common severe wear problems that always plague this particular unlaminated cover.
Absolutely no fading to the dark brown background and not even a hint of ring wear on the front or the back, all the brown is 100 covering every single part, from the top to the bottom edges, the spine to the opening sides.
The brilliant central artwork s escaping celebrities caught in a spotlight, is also unfaded and unscuffed as in 1973.
The front s top album title is still a pure, unyellowed white colour, even the expected severe record impression is too gentle to mention, just like the even more vulnerable inner sleeve.
I did say I had plenty of printed item to cover , but every word written about the cover is positive, considering this single sleeve was bulging with the massive folded poster and the thick inner sleeve and record, that is remarkable.
Yet I still have to deal with matters beyond being unused, yes, the cover had to stand in storage for every day of those 44 years, holding a heavyweight record and a bulky, thick folded poster.
The shape of the cover placed pressure on the front centre, the bowed shaped sloped where the top and bottom ends of the spine, the very position the record s left edge was positioned against the spine.
There had to be edge lines developing at that position right from the first time the record and poster were inserted at EMI s pressing plant.
I am not looking for excuses for natural occurrences that could not be avoided, just telling the plain truth.
With a very rare, genuinely unplayed record involved and the rest of the entire cover in such stunning unworn, unfaded and unaged condition.
No ring wear at all tells of a perfectly stored unpressured cover, it hardly shows anyway and my perfectionist nature does tend to highlight items other sellers ignore.
The back of the cover is ultra clean, unfaded and again, not a scuff or scrape in sight, with all corners as close to perfect as this cover possibly gets, an outstanding condition unworn spine with unaged pure white titles, a superb Band On the Run very first made cover Even the just detailed few natural traits of any cover from any decade, amount to very little, quite honestly, were there in 1973 A few tiny paper edge lines next to the spine and the merest hint of standing on the bottom edge, I am questioning myself for even discussing such relatively minor natural events in the lifetime of an unused rare shape cover THE COVER IS TOTALLY UNWORN, UNFADED, UNAGED UNUSED PERFECTLY STORED, IN MINT- CONDTION.
THE IMMACULATE LABELS DO NOT HAVE ANY SPINDLE ALIGNMENT TRACES, THE LABEL CENTRES ONLY HAVE A FEW STRESS LINES CREATED IN THE PRESSING PLANT WHEN THE CENTRE WAS REMOVED.
THE DEEPLY GLOSSY VINYL DOES NOT HAVE ANY MARKS OR SCRATCHES, IT WILL TAKE ALL MY WILLPOWER TO LEAVE THIS UNPLAYED, BUT I FEEL THAT IS THE CORRECT THING TO DO.
THE RECORD IS IN UNPLAYED MINT CONDTION.

All Songs Written By Paul Linda McCartney, Except No Words Paul Denny Tony Visconti - orchestrations Geoff Emerick - Sound Engineer Produced By Paul McCartney Band On The Run is always the most likely Paul Wings album to be in a dreadful state today, with such fantastic music the records were very heavily played, scratched and plain worn out.
Due to that and how poor the first issue matt Band On The Run covers wore, and the textured inner sleeves split and tore, I struggle to locate the only condition I sell the album in.
When I occasionally can produce a Mint record and the finest possible cover custom inner sleeve, I try to remember to include a really outstanding BBC TV documentary.
Paul was the main source for finite details, it thoroughly examined every aspect of the album, first broadcast several years ago and in a revealing interview, Paul took you through every moment.
A video was made while they recorded in a very basic studio, so basic, there was not even a vocal booth, a home made one was constructed from wood perspex.
You watched that among some fantastic video of them recording the tracks and their problematic time in Lagos, Nigeria.
Paul was obviously proud of the album, his honesty remained in place as he revealed the stress involved by recording in Africa, he actually collapsed as the problems mounted.
He refused to buckle though and take the next flight home, if anything, the adversity was one the biggest factors in creating a masterpiece of glorious sounds.
Even though I followed every step of the Beatles and then every solo step, I was entranced and spellbound, an even greater respect and love of Band On The Run swept over me.
Live footage of Wings performing the infectious, beautiful melody of Picasso s Last Words Drink to Me reminded me once again that his genius to write and sing acoustic songs, was second to none.
It was so good hearing and seeing the basic trio of Wings forged into such a tight unit while recording the album, the sounds they made will never be bettered and the songs never surpassed.
Those hung up on Beatles records only, for goodness sake, lighten up and take a listen to Band On The Run , yes, there are stunning melodies but when Paul played heavy rock on Let Me Roll It, he even made Lennon sit up and take notice, John was full of gushing praise in spite of the open antagonism between them in 1973.
I hope that comes out on a DVD, Paul modestly explained how after Linda and himself were nearly killed by gangsters, who stole their money, camera and worst of all, the demo tapes of every song before they even started recording the album.
Paul shrugged his shoulders and said something like this It was a blow, but I had all the songs in my head and we got over that one, with the few lyrics I had written down.
Paul Wings had felt their way tentatively with their first album Wildlife in December.
1971,the first line-up of Paul Linda, Denny Laine and Danny Siewell promised a much more complex production would follow it.
The addition of lead guitarist Henry McCullough gave them a fuller sound and their wings were spread wider on their second album in 1973, Red Rose Speedway.
Paul s songwriting genius was was in full flow and the material on that album ranks alongside his finest ever work.
Released in March 73 it made No.5 in the UK charts, they prepared for the follow up, Band on the Run .
Paul told how they planned to record the album in Abbey Road, where he found a list of the studios EMI owned around the world, he was intrigued to see one in Lagos, so Africa it was Wings were about to leave for Lagos, Danny Siewell Henry McCullough sent a message they were not coming and had left Wings, leaving Paul, Linda and Denny the choice of cancelling their adventure in Africa or continuing.
When asked if he took it well, Paul replied, No I was livid At that moment, he wanted to record an album so major, Siewell and McCullough would forever regret walking away from it, as it turned out, Band On The Run hit No.1 and spent 124 months in the UK charts, over two consecutive years in the UK charts was rather special In the same August,1973 as they lost Siewell and McCullough, the Wings trio flew out to ex-Cream, Ginger Baker s Arc recording studio in Laos, Nigeria, Africa, to record an album in spite of such a set back.
I had better not catalogue all the numerous problems they faced, just return to the staggering music they made, Paul had not tasted such public acclaim as a solo artist or with Wings, such massive success had not been experienced since the heydays of the Beatles.
Over two years in the British charts was an overwhelming way to re-establish his supreme talent and all the hurt the critics had hurled in his, and particularly Linda s direction, was temporarily eased, if never forgotten.
Taking those figures into account, you may well wonder why I am so excited to have another copy to offer on ebay, but however many copies were originally sold and re-issued, means nothing.
A true great album like this was played and played, then played again, I only ever wanted to present the record, cover and inserts at the beginning of their lifetime, not at the end.
Bearing in mind I specialised in the Beatles and their solo albums from the late 1980 s, a Mint original / first pressing was tough for me to find for my own much needed replacement Yes, there was plenty to pick through but they all had battered and tatty covers, a torn or missing poster, a split first issue lyrics inner sleeve and a well played, scratched record.
Huge numbers sold, mean nothing at all for an album with every single track a masterpiece, they were played into submission 44 years ago.
To have just bought an unplayed first pressing is beyond belief, it does take an ultimate condition collection to not have a severely worn out cover, even then the unlaminated dark brown front is just as likely to have terrible storage wear.
This cover has been lovingly kept....without the protection of shrink wrapping.
The labels do not have a single spindle use trace and the record is gleaming as new without any handling / playing signs, a true mint Band On The Run.
As much as I would dearly love to hear it and be able to describe the songs, performances and sound, under the circumstances I will not play it, but keep this record s extraordinary unplayed status for the next owner to have that pleasure.
Instead I can at least give a few more tdetails neccessary to be named as a UK first pressing.
Enough has been said about the printed items not to repeat anything else, for low selling or non charting LP s normally there was only one pressing batch required.
Then you are only looking at the order the individual records were made in, a massive seller like this simply had to have multiple batches pressed to meet the demand, in this case there were over 2 years of pressings and many, many more followed over the decades.
Initially the first into production were made before the scheduled release date and I term them all as first pressings, for anyone who demands the earliest only in Mint, you will have a mighty long wait I happily name the volume made that were part of a very long chain, originals .
Without that, few Beatles record would be desirable if the condition is considered essential, for those who only want to be blown clean away by the music, a genuine original is a record to treasure and keep for the rest of your life.
EMI would have of course anticipated making more than the one pressing batch, this record is from the earliest batches made, maybe not right at the front of a very long chain, but just a few links along from the front and certainly part of the pre-release pressings.
EMI started Band On The Run with maitrix endings of -1 / -1 in an an unbroken run of pressings, immediately followed with the maitrix rising a single digit to - 2 / -2 .
They are in a majority in 2017, the records were paired with the first printed labels, covers, inner sleeves and poster, then distributed at random with the -1 / -1 records mixed in with the -2 / -2 records.
On the 15th December, 1973, when you walked into a UK record shop and asked for Band On The Run, the assistant certainly did not rummage about examining the ending digits of the maitrix and nor did the buyers, you were handed a newly delivered album, once again at random.
Sure, you can place which record it is now but at the time you were buying a first pressing by definition of being the first to arrive from the pressing plant.
Then you had regional distribution as a factor, now ignored, often the London stores that were closest to EMI s Harrow, Middlesex, pressing plant, took the first delivery but not necessarily in the precise order of the actual production.
I am aware many will know all this but one of the most frequently asked questions I and other sellers receive, Is this the first pressing? That tells me how confusing this may appear to be, I just laid it out in simplistic but very accurate terms.
You just cannot have a huge selling album whittled down to just manufacturing a few boxes of records, even if you could, technically there will still only ever be one single record that was the first to be pressed.
If you remove common sense from the term, first pressing, you just lose sight of reality, I m all for forgetting about reality by getting into music, not seeing the wood for the trees is the best way to sum all this up.
Me, I m just thrilled to have this amazing very first pressing/original to offer in the ultimate condition, I doubt very much if another first pressing still exists in shrink wrapping...but I never say never, and as for impossible , that does not even register, nothing is impossible if you think positively and genuinely love the music you sell.
Roy R M RECORDS.
My lifetime s love of music and records began at a very young age, the arrival of the Beatles and the 1960 s decade in general had a very profound effect.
It was only natural to bring all my first hand experience of collecting vinyl into becoming a professional record seller.
Nearly thirty years ago we entered into the wonderful atmosphere of record fairs with the highest possible standards set.
When the Internet became the world s new market place for vinyl, in 2001 it was time to join ebay.

We have kept all our charges at the same level for years now, but due to the Post Office s new price increases, regretfully we will have to increase the cost of LP s, however, singles will remain unchanged.
Ebay were aware of that happening and have increased their minimum postal cost for LP s to 7.00, that figure has been enforced by the UK Post Office and it will become our UK First Class, Recorded Delivery cost for albums up to the value of 46.
A temporary reduction this week means we can now post LP s for 5, but who knows how long before the Post Office return to 7?
