Get ready to dive into the fascinating world of music history with Paul McCartney's upcoming soundtrack for his documentary, Man on the Run. This album not only accompanies the film but also delves into McCartney’s incredible journey of artistic revival following the break-up of The Beatles. It particularly highlights his transformative years during the Wings era.
This thoughtfully curated 12-track album follows closely behind last year’s comprehensive WINGS collection and showcases a blend of songs by Paul McCartney, as well as collaborations with Linda McCartney and their band, Wings.
Notably, three tracks from the WINGS collection make a reappearance: ‘Band on the Run,’ ‘Mull of Kintyre,’ and ‘Let Me Roll It.’ Additionally, the album features two solo tracks that mark the beginning and end of the Wings period—‘That Would Be Something’ from McCartney and ‘Coming Up’ from McCartney II. Fans will also be pleased to find selections from the iconic 1971 album Ram, including ‘Long Haired Lady’ and ‘Too Many People.’ The demo version of ‘Silly Love Songs’ is included, sourced from the 2014 reissue of At The Speed Of Sound, along with ‘Big Barn Bed’ from the Red Rose Speedway album, which, interestingly, was not part of the previous WINGS collection.
What’s particularly exciting are the three previously unreleased tracks:
- Gotta Sing Gotta Dance (from the James Paul McCartney TV special in 1973)
- Live and Let Die (Rockshow version, from the 1980 film Rockshow)
- Arrow Through Me (a rough mix of this track)
The inclusion of the rough mix of ‘Arrow Through Me’ is intriguing. This song originally appeared on McCartney’s 1979 album Back to the Egg, sparking speculation among fans. Does its presence here hint at a more extensive release in the future, or could it suggest that McCartney is holding back some material? Currently, short previews for both this track and the Rockshow version of ‘Live and Let Die’ are available on Amazon, heightening anticipation.
Fans can look forward to the official release of the Man on the Run soundtrack on February 27, 2026, in both vinyl and CD formats through UMe/Capitol Records. For collectors, Amazon is offering an exclusive orange vinyl edition.
