A TRIP TO LAGOS

images from Wings in Africa recording Band On The Run. The musical achievement of “Band on the Run” is nearly matched by the amazing story behind its creation. Intrigued with recording abroad in the summer of 1973, McCartney searched for a list of studios around the world. Spotting one in the remote location of Lagos, Nigeria, he became enthralled with the idea of recording in Africa. Days before departure, lead guitarist Henry McCullough and drummer Denny Seiwell quit the band leaving the entire project to the three core members, Paul, his wife Linda McCartney and band-member Denny Laine (along with recording engineer Geoff Emerick). even though images of Paul's stupid smile still make me want to pop him one, i can't deny being a fan of the 1st 2 solo lp's and this one. this lp would be my last of his work i could enjoy. get it in Quadraphonic brilliance a few posts back.
