Paul McCartney To Release Companion Soundtrack Album for New Documentary With Two ...
Paul McCartney’s new documentary, Man On The Run, gets its television premiere on February 27 on Amazon’s Prime Video streaming service. Now comes word that a companion soundtrack album will be released that same day. Titled Man On The Run – Music From The Motion Picture Soundtrack, the 12-track collection features a selection of recordings McCartney made throughout the 1970s, either as a solo artist; as a duo with his first wife, Linda; or with his post-Beatles band Wings.
The album includes various hits, deep cuts, and rarities, offering a snapshot of McCartney’s creative output during the 1970s. Two tracks have been made available exclusively on Amazon Music in advance of the album’s release. One is a previously unreleased rough mix of “Arrow Through Me,” a reggae-influenced gem from Wings’ 1979 studio album Back To The Egg. The other is a live version of McCartney and Wings’ hit 1973 James Bond theme “Live And Let Die,” from the 1980 concert film Rockshow.
Another previously unreleased track also will appear on the soundtrack album. The song, “Gotta Sing Gotta Dance,” originally was featured in the 1973 The James Paul McCartney TV Special.
The Man On The Run soundtrack, which can be pre-ordered now, will available in a variety of formats. Among them are a single-CD edition, via digital formats, and various vinyl variants. The vinyl variants include a limited-edition “tangerine peel orange” colored LP available exclusively on Amazon and a standard black vinyl LP. All vinyl versions of the album are packaged with a Man On The Run poster.
A limited-edition “New York Taxi Cab Yellow” colored LP, pressed by Jack White’s Third Man Pressing plant, already is sold out.
