Age 11 was when I was about to transition into the teenage phase and this album attains some innocence as well as coming of age for me. As was the thumping "Jet" which has suffered from my lifting the needle off my vinyl copy so many times to replay the track it sounds like it was recorded in the twenties! I prefer the US album in that regards but find myself pulling out the UK for kicking back and listening.Helen Wheels" was released as a non-album single in late October, and became a top 10 hit in America the following January. Yes, I recently acquired a UK original Band on the Run from forum member Geoman, and it is hands down the best-sounding copy of this album that I have ever heard.

The remastering work was done at Abbey Road using the same team who recently remastered the complete Beatles’ catalog. In fact this was the album that lead me to re-evaluate and ultimately appreciate The Beatles who, quite frankly, to people my age, were irrelevant.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. Later on, drummer and former Cream member Ginger Baker invited Wings to record their entire album at his ARC Studio in Ikeja.
