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.

Russian, on something called Santa Records.

The Greek reissue on Parlophone. 1993.

For the second time I’ve located images used in the collage that is featured on the sleeve of Pavement’s Crooked Rain, Crooked Rain LP. Above we see a detail of the back cover and below we see 2 pages from the February 1978 issue of National Geographic.

Above, a detail of the insert included in the LP. Below, another page from a National Geographic article on eagles.
