Ahead of the release of Paul McCartney: Man On The Run, a new feature documentary by Oscar-winning director Morgan Neville exploring Paul McCartney's creative rebirth after The Beatles' breakup, Capitol Records, MPL Communications and UMG have announced details of a companion album titled Man On The Run – Music From The Motion Picture Soundtrack.

The album includes all-time classics, hits, and essential tracks from across Paul McCartney and Wings' revered catalog.

The album features 12 songs from Paul's time with Wings in the 1970s, including a previously unreleased rough mix of "Arrow Through Me" and "Live And Let Die," both featured exclusively via Amazon Music ahead of release.

The album will feature a third previously unreleased track in "Gotta Sing Gotta Dance," originally featured in the 1973 The James Paul McCartney TV Special.

Both the soundtrack album and documentary will be released on February 27, with Man On The Run – Music From The Motion Picture Soundtrack arriving in a variety of formats, including a limited edition New York Taxi Yellow Vinyl LP by Jack White's Third Man Pressing plant.

The documentary captures Paul's transformative decade in the wake of The Beatles' break-up and the rise of his new band Wings.

Through stunning archival footage, Linda McCartney's exceptional photographs, interviews with Paul, Linda, Mary, Stella McCartney, and more, the film examines this time through a uniquely vulnerable lens.

Speaking about his approach to the film and soundtrack, director Morgan Neville said: "When people talk about the biggest acts of the 1970s, the list rarely includes Paul McCartney.

Not because he wasn’t big – he was undeniably one of the biggest acts of the decade – but because of what he’d already done.
