Just watched the one hand clapping sessions movie and it was absolutely insane??? The amount of musical greatness you get to watch unfold in 240p, not just Paul but the others too and the entire time they’re the most British fucking people you’ve ever seen in your life. Geoff Britton talks and the Union Jack appears behind your irises I swear and they’re all SO sweaty. Paul in his little yellow dress tunic, all greasy and sweaty and very fuckable looking, talking to the orchestra conductor who’s wearing a full tuxedo. Every time Jimmy or Geoff were talking my dad turned to me and said “that guy has a massive drug problem”. Vibes only, 10/10

♡ overall: 8.7/10

Song By Song Review Under the Cut

Reception -> 8/10 Very space age-eqse

Getting Closer -> 8/10 I liked it, but he can do better. I downloaded this track to my personal playlist.

Spin It On -> 10/10 Dance track! I downloaded this one, as well!

Again and Again and Again -> 5/10 Missing something, and there’s some questionable lyrics.

Old Siam, Sir -> 4/10 I’ve heard better.

Arrow Through Me -> 9/10 A horn section on a McCartney track can do no wrong. I downloaded this onto my personal playlist.

Rockestra Theme -> 10/10 With a title like Rockestra, it’s hard to go wrong. I downloaded this one, as well!

To You -> 7/10 Think Dad rock, but with an insane guitar solo near the end.

After the Ball / Million Miles -> 4/10 Eh.

Winter Rose / Love Awake -> 5/10 It sounds nice, but it’s forgettable.

The Broadcast -> 8/10 I really liked it! I wished it was longer though :( I downloaded this one to my personal playlist, as well.

So Glad to See You Here -> 10/10 Really sweet <3 I downloaded this one, as well!

Baby’s Request -> 9/10 Very cute, very sweet, very jazz-y, very right up my alley. I downloaded this one, as well!

Daytime Nighttime Suffering -> 10/10 He wrote this for me. I downloaded this one as well, obviously!

Wonderful Christmas Time -> 12/10 The only christmas song I can play all year.

Rudolph the Red Nose Reggae -> 7/10 Not as bad as the title would lead you to believe.

Goodnight Tonight -> 20/10 I owe my life to this song.

These jackets were a lovely gift from Dr. Anthony Pantaleno. He presented me with a gift bag following the Geoff Britton screening at The Fest For Beatles Fans. He included Beatles buttons and pennies for my Cadillac jar. So enormously thoughtful, I was choking back tears. 💙

Album Review: Paul McCartney & Wings - One Hand Clapping (Live Sessions)

Swinging from the New Orleans gumbo of “Baby Face,” full band with horns, to “Maybe I’m Amazed” on electric piano and “Let it Be” on accordion, the sound of One Hand Clapping (Live Sessions) is different.

The former is special indeed; the type of thing that makes an archival release such as this enthralling. The latter numbers serve as a reminder of why some recordings remain vaulted.

Recoded in August 1974 and aborted, the in-studio Paul McCartney & Wings concert film and album marks 50 years with a full audio release. It finds the lineup of McCartney, keyboardist Linda McCartney, multi-instrumentalist Denny Laine, guitarist Jimmy McCulloch and drummer Geoff Britton running through a batch of mainstays and throwaways.

In the latter category come such novelties as “I’ll Give You a Ring,” on which McCartney sings: Me and my phone/I’m gonna call your home/I won’t be lonely anymore.

“Jet,” “Soily,” “Bluebird,” “Junior’s Farm,” “Live and Let Die,” “Band on the Run,” “Let Me Roll It” and a slew of others also make appearances. But they’re inessential as none live up to their official studio releases or their Wings Over America iterations. And when McCantney mashes “The Long and Winding Road” and Lady Madonna” into a short medley, it’s clear he and the band were simply mucking about and not taking the project too seriously.

From a half-century’s distance, it makes sense One Hand Clapping did not receive contemporary release, for Wings had much stronger work in the pipeline. All these years later, however, it serves an important historical purpose but litte more.

Grade card: Paul McCartney & Wings - One Hand Clapping (Live Sessions) - B-

7/8/24

Mystery adult comic art by Lion artist Geoff Campion offered at auction

Art by Geoff Campion, whose credits include “Captain Condor“, for Lion, “Spellbinder” for Valiant, and “Johnny Cougar” for Tiger, is currently up for auction on Catawiki – but the nine-page is a lot racier than the work you would expect of him! Titled “Sentence of Death“, the nine-page horror strip has been inaccurately credited to publisher Leonard James Matthews, formerly of IPC, the art noted…

Official Theatrical Trailer for ONE HAND CLAPPING.

[exhausted-think-bucket]

One Hand Clapping Thoughts & Feels, probably rambling and incoherent and long and out of order but eh, here goes:

Paul’s opening presentation of the film laced with nostalgia and not-so-low key admiration of his younger self’s talent-awwwww

The way his focus when playing almost extinguished everything else out of the room, the way music just seems to flow through him and also from him, UGH he's so disgustingly talented and so clearly in his element when he’s creating music

His little flowery jacket 🌺 His yellow flowy shirt- in general awesome sartorial choices, no notes

When he said he used to think that "maybe it's too much to live up to being Paul McCartney" OUCH

The way everyone seemed to be having the time of their lives

Shout out to Geoff Britton who I will be looking into more because he looked like a cool guy on top of being a great drummer

The little backyard concert! That felt almost like having Paul privately serenading you, I was swooning the whole time ngl

Linda being fabulous while also talking a little bit about being insecure about her place in the studio and powering through it because "if you don't do it for yourself no one will do it for you" YOU GO GIRL

The Live and Let Die bit, shout out to the orchestra for having a job to do and doing it well

Nineteen Hundred and Eighty Five: OHMYGOD no comment. Dead.

Paul talking about his 14-year-old self thinking he would go into cabaret style music *sigh*

He wrote Suicide AT FOURTEEN

Excellent job with restoring the sound btw, I felt surrounded by voices the whole time, almost like being in there with them

All in all, a great experience, five stars, am recommending

I wish I could bottle Paul up and keep him forever and ever, that's all
