Description
Paul and Linda McCartney, together with Denny Laine, began recording the forthcoming album “Band On The Run” at EMI studios in Lagos, Nigeria. Shortly before leaving for Lagos, drummer Denny Seiwell and guitarist Henry McCullough left the group, so McCartney took over bass, drums and most of the lead guitar parts. Recording took place in a poorly equipped studio and amid tense circumstances. During their stay, the McCartneys were held up at knifepoint and lost a bag containing song lyrics and demo recordings.
