GOOD NEWS FOR MCCARTNEY’S FANS: One Hand Clapping Album Released: Paul McCartney and Wings’ 1974 Live-in- Studio Album Was Officially Released, Nearly 50 Years After It’s Recording

Nearly five decades after it was recorded, Paul McCartney and Wings’ long-lost album One Hand Clapping has finally seen the light of day. Originally taped in 1974 at Abbey Road Studios as a live-in-studio performance, the album was intended to showcase the band’s energy and talent following the success of Band on the Run. However, despite being filmed and partially bootlegged over the years, the full album was never officially released—until now.

This long-overdue release features McCartney and his Wings lineup in peak form, blending studio polish with the raw spontaneity of a live performance. The set includes live versions of Wings hits like “Jet,” “Band on the Run,” and “Live and Let Die,” along with new arrangements of Beatles classics and rare tracks that highlight McCartney’s musical versatility.

For fans, One Hand Clapping offers more than just nostalgia. It provides a rare glimpse into a transitional period in McCartney’s post-Beatles career—a moment when he was redefining himself as a solo artist and bandleader. Now, with modern remastering and official packaging, the album can finally be appreciated as it was always meant to be.

This release is not only a celebration of McCartney’s enduring legacy, but a gift to music lovers who have waited nearly 50 years to hear this hidden gem in its full glory.
