“It’s so great to look back on that period and see the little live show we did,” McCartney shared in a statement. “We made a pretty good noise actually! It was a great time for the band, we started to have success with Wings, which had been a long time coming.”

The version of Wings that plays on One Hand Clapping includes: McCartney and his late wife Linda; Denny Lain; guitarist Jimmy McCulloch; and drummer Geoff Britton. Rounding out the studio crew was orchestral arranger Del Newman and the saxophonist Howie Casey, who went on to join the Wings touring band.
