An ebay seller has recently been listing his collection of Wings‘ Band on the Run LPs from around the world. The poor guy must have fallen on hard times needing to part with gems like these. But his Wings-related loss is our relative gain as his excellent auction listings include photos of the labels on the records giving us a glimpse at global variations. So exciting stuff then. Above is an Italian Apple from 1973.
