Wow.
David EastaughHOST
Had they gone band on the run by then?
Martin McAloonGUEST
Yes, they'd done Band on the Run and Venus and Mars, they were promoting Venus and Mars.
David EastaughHOST
Right, my God, that must have been amazing.
Martin McAloonGUEST
Oh, it was astonishing.
Tom PollardHOST
50 years ago in 1974.
Tom PollardHOST
Paul McCartan and Wings came up with an album called Band on the Run.
Tom PollardHOST
In its 50th anniversary, they re-released the album and they called it Band on the Run Underdubbed or Undercut.
Tom PollardHOST
I think it's Underdubbed.
Tom PollardHOST
And it's just the raw music without all the special effects.
Martin PopoffHOST
So Wings are getting into this prog day for some reason.
Martin PopoffHOST

Martin PopoffHOST

Tom PollardHOST
I want to ask this question because I ask this of a lot of guests.
Tom PollardHOST
Fifty years ago, Paul McCartney and Wings came out with Band on the Run, okay? Yeah.
Tom PollardHOST
Two years ago, they celebrated its 50th anniversary, so they released what they called Underdubbed.
Tom PollardHOST
And it was just the raw band on the run without all the quote-unquote effects, the add-ons that get added on in studio.
Tom PollardHOST
So I've asked this question.
Tom PollardHOST
My brother pointed this out.
Tim AppletonHOST
And then we end side one.
Tim AppletonHOST
with a bona fide Wings classic, Band on the Run, right? Now, this one is famously a suite.
Tim AppletonHOST
You know, this is Prog Paul, if ever there was such a thing.
Tim AppletonHOST
I think it's a lot of fun, this track.
Tim AppletonHOST
The first bit is nice.
Tim AppletonHOST
And the transition to the second part is very exciting.
Tim AppletonHOST
That's the second bit, right? But when they go to the third and final bit, band on the run, that bit, I find the transition awkward and incongruous.
Tim AppletonHOST
It's a great section, that final section.
Tom PollardHOST
Now, from the music production side of things, and I ask this question a lot from the perspective of an artist, okay, so I'm going to ask you to look at it with two different hats, but more so from the production side.
Tom PollardHOST
When Band on the Run came out, in 1974, 50 years later they re-released it as underdubbed, and it was just the raw, okay? They didn't have all the special effects, the add-ons and this and that, and my brother called me up and he said, I would buy that album like that today.
Tom PollardHOST
So as a producer, not as a musician, but as an artist, how do you deal with the artist that says, we need to add more, we need more? How do you say, that's enough? How do you know when that's enough is enough?
Steve FundyGUEST
Well, you know, for one, most of what I do is on the fly in the moment, in the jamming and the creating with the people I'm playing with.
Sunny ShoemakerHOST
Why does Picasso visit the planet of the apes? I'm not sure.
Sunny ShoemakerHOST
This would be the second song we've discussed on Adventures in Record Collecting about Picasso, after Ban on the Run's Picasso's Last Words.
Sunny ShoemakerHOST
If I had the Repo Man soundtrack on vinyl, we could have made it a trifecta with the burning sensations.
Sunny ShoemakerHOST
Alas, I have it on CD, and so it is out of the purview of the podcast, even though it kicks ass as a soundtrack.
