This is an original, rare Paul McCartney and Wings, Band on the Run poster from 1974.
Band on the Run is the third studio album by the British–American rock band Paul McCartney and Wings, released in December 1973. It was McCartney's fifth album after leaving the Beatles in April 1970. Although sales were modest initially, its commercial performance was aided by two hit singles – "Jet" and "Band on the Run" – such that it became the top-selling studio album of 1974 in the United Kingdom and Australia, in addition to revitalising McCartney's critical standing. It remains McCartney's most successful album and the most celebrated of his post-Beatles works.
In 2000, Q magazine placed Band on the Run at number 75 in its list of the "100 Greatest British Albums Ever". In 2012, it was listed at 418 on Rolling Stone's revised list of "The 500 Greatest Albums of All Time". A contemporary review by Jon Landau in Rolling Stone described the album as being "with the possible exception of John Lennon's Plastic Ono Band, the finest record yet released by any of the four musicians who were once called the Beatles". It was McCartney's last album issued on the Apple record label. In 2013, Band on the Run was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame.

Over the years I have amassed a pretty sizeable collection of vintage music magazines from the 60s, 70s and 80s, and it is with a heavy heart that I have decided to take the best covers, album adverts and articles and turn them into posters.
Hopefully my loss can be your gain as there are some absolute beauties in my collection. Please have a look through the other items in my shop.
-------------
All our posters are 100% authentic originals from the date and year stated.
The majority are from publications such as Rolling Stone, Melody Maker, NME etc.
We will never stock reprints, modern remakes, fakes or any of that sort of rubbish.
Because all of our products are original, authentic items, they will have an aged look. This could mean folds, slight fraying around the edges, yellowing of paper etc. Please see photos for details.
The image you see might be of a folded spread of the magazine, this is only because it hasn't 2024 been cut up yet. You will get a clean cut 1-page poster.
You can buy the poster framed or unframed. The black picture frame is stylish and thin with a delicate grain texture and a glass front, it can be hung portrait or landscape.
Frame dimensions are H530mm x W430mm x D15mm.
NB Because the items are vintage, the sizes may be slightly off, but the above is a good general guide.
Happy shopping, any questions please don't hesitate to get in touch.
UPDATE: I won't be mailing framed posters outside of the UK. Postage is really, really expensive and you're better off spending the money on framing the poster yourself. Hope you understand.
