Paul McCartney & Wings are finally offering a physical release of one of their most bootlegged albums: One Hand Clapping, the live studio sessions conducted post-Band on the Run in 1974 for a seldom-seen documentary film, will arrive everywhere on June 14th.
While several songs from One Hand Clapping eventually landed on subsequent Paul McCartney releases, this will be the first time the album is available in full. It was also the first Wings album recorded with a new lineup — Denny Seiwell and Henry McCullough departed after Band on the Run, and were replaced by guitarist Jimmy McCulloch and drummer Geoff Britton for the One Hand Clapping sessions.
The album was recorded at Abbey Road Studios over a span of four days while director David Litchfield filmed the documentary — which still hasn’t been released. Within the album’s 26 tracks are Paul McCartney & Wings favorites like “Live and Let Die” and “Band on the Run,” McCartney’s “Maybe I’m Amazed” and “Let It Be,” as well as “The Long and Winding Road/Lady Madonna.”
One Hand Clapping will receive a digital release as well as an online exclusive 2xLP + 7-inch package — the 7-inch is a vinyl single of previously unreleased solo performances recorded in the backyard of Abbey Road Studios on the final day of their sessions. Pre-orders for One Hand Clapping are on-going.
