![]() In Eight Arms To Hold You, Chip Madinger and Mark Easter think it could have been recorded in Los Angeles, while Paul was visiting John there.

As there’s much talk-over, it was a good idea to add some clean versions of the material on a bonus disc, augmented two tracks recorded but not used in the documentary: ‘Country Dreamer’ and ‘Let Me Roll It’. In November 2010 however, the complete 51-minute One Hand Clapping was available on DVD as part of the Deluxe-Version of the third remaster of Band on the Run. For years it appeared that the documentary would rest in the archives forever. ![]() Especially since the drummer, Geoff Britton, left the band some months later. When the tour didn’t happen, the TV show was scrapped. Needless to say, the record never materialized. The tracklist: Side A: ‘Jet’, ‘Let Me Roll It’, ‘Junior’s Farm’ Side B: ‘My Love’, ‘Little Woman Love/C Moon/Little Woman Love’, ‘Maybe I’m Amazed’. On September 9, 1974, Geoff cut a 6-track acetate in Abbey Road Studio from the sessions, for a possible Wings Live In The Studio-EP. See Venus And Mars – Ultimate Archive Collections, cd 2, tracks 11-21, plus 23. En plus, Geoff Emerick made proper recordings.ĭuring these sessions, or shortly thereafter, Paul was filmed in the backyard of the studio for some acoustic footage. Inspired by Frank Zappa’s film 200 Motels, the idea was to shoot on videotape and then edit and transfer the selected footage onto film. Wings was joined for these sessions by the orchestral arranger/conductor Del Newman, and the Liverpool saxophone player Howie Casey.ĭavid Litchfield, videotaped the events for MPL, with the intent of producing a Television special, to follow up the previous year’s James Paul McCartney. Over four days in August 1974 they gathered at EMI’s Studio Two to rehearse for a possible tour and record old and new material. We just called it ‘One Hand Clapping’, for absolutely no reason.”Īfter the six-week stay in Nashville, Paul was happy with the new lineup of Wings: Linda, Denny Laine, Jimmy McCulloch and Geoff Britton. ![]() So we went in there and it was very simply filmed, absolute basic stuff, and I think its charm now is that there’s no pretence. We would just go into Abbey Road and play basically what we had rehearsed. We decided that he would shoot a very simple piece, on video. NOTES: CD 1 Paul McCartney on ‘’One Hand Clapping’: ‘It was made by a friend of mine, David Litchfield he produced a little magazine that was funky (Ritz, co-edited with David Bailey). They were fun working on (especially McGear), and thanks again for all your support / assistance / encouragement! It is what it is! Anyhoo, I hope y’all enjoy these. And for the CD labels, I tried to re-create the classic orange Capitol label that was being used at the time. As it’s the only real “cover art” I had to go with, it made sense to use it on the front cover! The rest was taken up with photos of the era. Litchfield – the man who filmed the documentary. Since no artwork existed for this set, I came up with what you see here, utilizing the illustration that was made by David R. So here it is – an hour of Macca at the piano, banging out his then unreleased catalog, circa the summer of 1974. For a long while that’s how I was going to put it out and then at the last minute, I decided to include the complete Piano Tape (remastered this time by the good folks at RMW!) as it seemed like a good idea because a) I did want to include this material on some release, and b) it wasn’t strong enough to warrant a release by itself. I’ve also added a “complete” version of Baby Face, with the intro part (which was cut off on the official Venus And Mars Archive) reinstated. This set is pretty much my own remastered version of the original Yellow Cat CD, with whatever tracks that were officially released substituted in. ![]() ![]() As for One Hand Clapping, this is the first time I’m putting out an album that never was, so I had to pick what was relevant. ![]()
