Paul McCartney‘s 12-song companion album to the new Wings documentary will include three previously unheard songs. Man on the Run: Music from the Motion Picture Soundtrack is set for release on Feb. 27.
He’s streaming “Arrow Through Me (Rough Mix)” and “Live And Let Die (Rockshow)” from the LP exclusively on Amazon. Preorders are already underway. Check out the complete track listing and artwork for the album below.
Man on the Run was directed by the award-winning Morgan Neville and explores McCartney’s post-Beatles career in the ’70s. The previously unheard material includes a demo of Wings’ chart-topping 1976 single “Silly Love Songs,” “Gotta Sing Gotta Dance” from 1973’s James Paul McCartney TV special and the rough mix of “Arrow Through Me,” a Top 30 U.S. hit from 1979’s Back to the Egg.
‘One of the Biggest Acts of the Decade’
“When people talk about the biggest acts of the 1970s, the list rarely includes Paul McCartney,” Neville said in an official statement. “Not because he wasn’t big – he was undeniably one of the biggest acts of the decade – but because of what he’d already done.”
Neville added: “Paul had been in the biggest band in the world, which in turn had created itself its own gravitational force. In my film, Man on the Run, I wanted to look at Paul’s impossible run from that long shadow of the Beatles.”
Man on the Run: Music from the Motion Picture Soundtrack will be released in a variety of formats, including digital, compact disc, black vinyl, New York taxi yellow vinyl (through Jack White‘s Third Man Records) and tangerine peel orange vinyl (through Amazon). The film is also due for release on Feb. 27 on Prime Video, following a limited theatrical run on Feb. 19.
