One Hand Clapping is a 1974 rockumentary made by Paul McCartney and his then band, Wings, at Abbey Road Studios in London. The film features the band playing live and also voice overs with each member talking about their musical experiences up to that point. Songs featured include "Maybe I'm Amazed", "Jet" and "Live and Let Die". It was directed by David Litchfield and filmed over four days in August 1974.[1]
An accompanying album was originally scrapped before being announced for release on 14 June 2024, fifty years after its recording.[1][2][3] In the decades before its release, the performance was frequently bootlegged, and various tracks have been previously released on special editions of other McCartney and Wings albums.[1]
Background
The performance was recorded over four days in August 1974, during Band on the Run's seventh week in a row at the top of the UK album charts. Paul McCartney, Linda McCartney and guitarist Denny Laine were joined by new members, guitarist Jimmy McCulloch and drummer Geoff Britton. The band had just returned from Nashville, where they recorded their then-upcoming single "Junior's Farm". The band were also joined in the studio by orchestral arranger Del Newman and saxophonist Howie Casey, both of whom had previously played with McCartney and would go on to join the Wings touring band.[1]
Album release
The One Hand Clapping album is due to be released on 14 June 2024, digitally, on CD and on LP. A special edition LP containing an additional 7" record will feature six additional songs.[1][2]
