*Introduction*
In addition to the film directed by David Litchfield, this theatrical release will also feature a previously unreleased backyard session featuring Paul McCartney playing beloved songs from his catalog on acoustic guitar. Highlights include the unreleased song “Blackpool” and personal favorites like “Twenty Flight Rock,” which he played when he first met John Lennon. The theatrical release will also feature a theatrically exclusive introduction shot by Paul McCartney, as well as previously unreleased Polaroid photos from the recording session.
“One Hand Clapping” showcased the new lineup of Wings, who had just returned from Nashville where they recorded the single “Junior’s Farm.” After the sudden departure of Denny Seiwell and Henry McCulloch just before the recording of Wings’ masterpiece “Band on the Run,” released in 1973, Paul, Linda, and Denny Laine became guitarists. The band welcomed new members Jimmy McCulloch and drummer Jeff Britton. Also in the studio were orchestral arranger Del Newman and saxophonist Howie Casey.
This work opens with an instrumental jam that can be said to be the theme song of “One Hand Clapping”, and is full of captivating live performances that touch the hearts of the viewers. “007
Wings’ famous songs such as “They’re the ones who die”, “Band on the Run”, “Jet”, and “My Love” will be performed one after another in a studio live format. In the film, Paul talks about the joys of being in a band, his songwriting process, and how, at the age of 14, he thought he might have a future as a cabaret singer.
You’ll hear from members of the band about their experiences working with Paul as part of Wings, and you’ll also see Paul playing alongside Linda, as well as drummer Jeff Britton’s impressive karate.
“One Hand Clapping” will be a work that celebrates the unwavering achievements of Paul McCartney & Wings.
This work captures the moment Wings discovered and established their unique sound. Just as Paul shaped popular culture with the Beatles a decade earlier, he did the same with Wings in the ’70s.
In this work, you can watch the band perform together in the studio and create their work.
Pitchfork magazine wrote in the album article for One Hand Clapping, “…Despite having only been there for a few weeks, the Wings were as tight-knit as if they had already spent 10,000 hours together.” They’re a rock’n’roll band, with a keen focus and a playful, natural performance.”
