Paul McCartney’s never-issued 1974 documentary known as “One Hand Clapping” is getting a theatrical release in September (“an exclusive cinema event” to quote the press release).
The soundtrack was recently released in CD and vinyl audio configurations but now David Litchfield’s original documentary (filmed on video) will be shown on the big screen and will incorporate the previously unreleased Backyard Sessions, where Paul McCartney played a few songs in the back garden of Abbey Road Studios on acoustic guitar, including ‘Blackpool” and ‘Twenty Flight Rock’ (these tracks were included on the seven-inch single which formed part of the D2C 2LP+7″ package).
Songs from “One Hand Clapping” film were featured on the DVDs of some of McCartney’s deluxe archive editions (notably “Band on the Run” and “McCartney“) but it has never been officially released in full.
