VINYL TITLE — ARTIST (YEAR) • CATALOG Artist: Paul McCartney & Wings Title: Band on the Run Label: Apple Records Year: 1973 Format: Vinyl, LP, Album Genre: Rock / Pop Rock Catalog Number: SO-3415 Edition: First US Edition (Includes "Helen Wheels") 💿 DESCRIPTION Band on the Run is widely considered Paul McCartney's post-Beatles masterpiece. Recorded under grueling conditions in Lagos, Nigeria—amidst equipment failures, studio limitations, and even a local robbery—the album became a massive critical and commercial success. It topped the Billboard 200 and produced iconic hits like the title track and "Jet." Interesting Fact: The US version (this edition) includes the hit single "Helen Wheels," which was not included on the original UK release. This addition makes the US Apple pressing particularly desirable for those wanting the "complete" tracklist of that era. The iconic cover features a "prison break" scene with famous friends of the McCartneys, including James Coburn and Christopher Lee. 💎 CONDITION vinyl: Presumed MINT (unplayed) cover: Factory-sealed, never opened 🧾 NOTES FOR COLLECTORS Finding a sealed original 1973 Apple pressing of Band on the Run is becoming increasingly difficult. This is the true first US edition with the SO-3415 catalog number and the "0698" price code on the spine. Unlike later Capitol reissues, this features the original Apple Records branding. The presence of the original hype sticker adds significant value for archival purposes. 🔍 MATRIX / LABEL DETAILS Spine: PAUL McCARTNEY • BAND ON THE RUN (0698) SO-3415 Label Details: Apple Records (as seen on the back cover logo) 📦 SHIPPING 📮 STANDARD: 5–30 DAYS — FREE SHIPPING ✈️ INTERNATIONAL PRIORITY: 5–15 DAYS — 30$ 🚚 FEDEX EXPRESS: 3–7 DAYS — 65$ WORLD OF AUDIOPHILE (EBAY SELLER) 100% POSITIVE FEEDBACK • FREE SHIPPING WORLDWIDE FOLLOW ON INSTAGRAM: @WORLD_OF_AUDIOPHILE ⭐ LATEST BUYER FEEDBACK “ABSOLUTELY STUNNING VINYL!

Absolute flawless international shipping, was fun to see all the stops the package made during delivery, van halen box set was packed professionally and shipped priority without any import tax at all. Item was exactly as described and the only one available anywhere, item was unopened sealed and considered extremely rare from 1984. This was the best experience I've ever had on ebay, all questions were answered directly and promptly. Definitely saving this seller for future purchases. Thank you
The records were as described, honest seller. I wish I had information from seller that the tracking wasn’t to my address, that it was going to a different address, and then being forwarded. Following the tracking had me concerned. So I recommend buyers communicate with the seller to understand that the tracking may not (at least in my case) indicate that it might go to a different address. Once it was forwarded I did receive tracking to my home. Still, great records, safe packaging.
The Shipping is Excellent! I love that it has to travel. The Packaging is excellent! Couldn't ask for more. The cassette came exactly as described and looked just like in the pictures. The Value is definetly there! I highly reccomend this seller. Hurry before all the good ones leave. I'll be back for more. Thank you for everything!
