Notes Paul McCartney & Wings: Band on the Run. The story, the songs, the legacy. 166 pages. Book dimensions: 15.24 cms x 0.97 cms x 22.86 cms. From Amazon (translated from Italian): When Paul McCartney left for Lagos on 30 August 1973, in view of the recordings of Band on the Run, two members of his band, Wings, had recently decided to leave. He doesn't yet know that a unique experience awaits him in Africa. Accompanying him are his wife Linda, Denny Laine and sound engineer Geoff Emerick. The stay in Nigeria will prove to be an epic adventure: a rough recording studio, tensions with local musicians, prohibitive climatic conditions, a theft of tapes still shrouded in mystery today. Enriched by a color iconographic apparatus and an exclusive interview with Pete Swettenham, Emerick's sound assistant in London, the volume recounts McCartney's masterpiece in a compelling and unprecedented way. Based on archive material and the statements of the protagonists, the book examines the songs, illustrates the equipment used for the recordings and debunks the myths that have always accompanied the narrative of the album. What did they steal from Paul in Africa? When did the theft happen? What happened to the tapes at AIR Studios? A historical tale with a narrative slant that makes it a must for lovers of ex-Beatle and rock music. Images
