Man on the Run – Music from the Motion Picture Soundtrack

By Paul McCartney

I attended a screening of MAN ON THE RUN last night at Loyola University in New Orleans. Scott Rodger, Paul’s long-time manager and part-time New Orleans resident, was in attendance and did a brief Q&A after the film. Of course they talked about his personal recollections and feelings about working with Paul for so long now… […] Scott Rodger said he chose the tracklist for the MotR soundtrack because “they” (I don’t know if he meant Amazon, or Paul or what) wanted a single LP soundtrack of music featured in the film, and knowing they just did a big WINGS comp, Scott tried to pick some stuff that wasn’t on WINGS but still gave a good overview of Paul’s music. 8 of the soundtrack’s 12 songs are NOT on WINGS. So in that regard, Scott did well. There’s a live version of Jet featured in MotR that could have been on the soundtrack but wasn’t (I’m not well versed enough to know if it was from Wings Over Europe, or America, or completely unreleased before). But this sort of explains why there isn’t any other unreleased material on the soundtrack (because there isn’t much of that in the film unfortunately!), and the previously unreleased/rare inclusions on the soundtrack are ones that are prominently featured in the doc for sure. The soundtrack tracklist also runs through the film as is btw. So it’s a true soundtrack — The film starts with the Silly Love Songs demo…
