However, the June 14 release of \u003cem\u003eOne Hand Clapping\u003c\/em\u003e, which features the original artwork designed for the project, including a TV sales brochure for the unreleased film at the time, is the first time the audio for the film—plus several additional songs recorded off-camera--have been officially issued.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eOne Hand Clapping\u003c\/em\u003e showcased Wings‘ new line-up, fresh off their return from Nashville where they recorded the classic single \u003cem\u003eJunior’s Farm\u003c\/em\u003e.

It captured a moment when Wings had found and defined their signature sound – just as Paul had shaped popular culture the decade before with The Beatles, he was doing it once again in the 70s with Wings.  This recording gives an insight into the inner workings of the band as they work and play together in the studio.  It also underscores Paul’s incredible talent as a live performer:  Fifty years on, Paul is still performing many of these songs in packed stadiums across the world.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"UMC","offers":[{"title":"2CD","offer_id":48249894273369,"sku":"SDZ-27375","price":21.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0588\/3455\/0945\/files\/Paul_McCartney_and_Wings_-_One_Hand_Clapping_-_2024.jpg?v=1714117891","url":"https:\/\/spindizzyrecords.com\/products\/paul-mccartney-wings-one-hand-clapping-2024-official-edition","provider":"Spindizzy Dublin","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
