One Hand Clapping (1974) [ VHSrip (XviD) ]
*DW Staff Approved* - see link: http://thebox.bz/forums.php?action=viewtopic&topicid=12902
Many thanks to Davveywolf for allowing this to be uploaded, as it is an unreleased documentary. However, it was originally produced in the UK with the intention of a television airing, and is a must-see for die-hard McCartney fans.

Overview:
[quote]With Band On The Run still riding high in the charts, Paul assembled a new lineup for Wings in 1974. He took the band to Nashville in June for a working holiday. The six-week stay resulted in the first new Wings single in several months; “Junior’s Farm/Sally G” was released in November. Wings also worked on several Cold Cuts that Paul stated would be issued after the next proper Wings LP. Pleased with the new lineup, Paul and Wings gathered at EMI’s Studio Two in August to rehearse and record old and new material. MPL videotaped the events with the intent of producing a television special. Geoff Emerick recorded the sessions for possible commercial release. A tour was also under consideration. The sessions took place over four days in late August with almost forty hours of videotape shot. Directed by David Litchfield, the idea was to shoot on videotape and then edit and transfer the selected footage onto film. Frank Zappa’s film 200 Motels inspired this technique. The film was named One Hand Clapping, and is an interesting Wings documentary. The film takes the viewer right inside Studio 2 as Wings rehearse, record and share their thoughts. The film also gave each Wings member their own spotlight section; Paul’s being a rare piano medley that included several songs never heard before or since. In early 1975, during the Venus and Mars sessions, overdubs for the film's finale “Baby Face” were recorded in New Orleans. In spite of the effort put into the project, One Hand Clapping remains unreleased to this day.

Notes:

This file has somewhat of a murky history: the loss of quality most likely stems from it being a copy of a copy (of a copy, etc.), as collectors would trade bootlegs. Eventually it was transferred to video cd in 2001 and from there to DVDR in 2007 (which is the format I received it in), and to an XviD AVI today. Therefore, don't expect a very good quality file. Besides the problems you'd expect from an old VHS, there is a blip at the very end of the credits which was in the file I received. Most copies circulated seem to be around the same quality, save for on the seemingly rare bootleg DVD Lightspeed. If anyone manages to get their hands on that, I would most gracefully remove this sad rip.
