Paul McCartney Adding 'One Hand Clapping' 'Backyard Sessions' to Digital Platforms


Via Paul's camp:

During a break in the One Hand Clapping sessions, Paul went into the garden behind Studio 2 and was filmed performing what would come to be The Backyard Session.

One Hand Clapping - The Backyard includes the unreleased track ‘Blackpool’, The Beatles’ iconic ‘Blackbird’, Wings B-side ‘Country Dreamer’, and cover versions of Eddie Cochran’s ‘Twenty Flight Rock’ (the first song Paul played to John Lennon when they met in 1957), Buddy Holly’s ‘Peggy Sue’ and’ I’m Gonna Love You Too’.

The tracks will be on Spotify and Apple Music tomorrow.

The 2-LP special edition of One Hand Clapping includes these extra tracks on a 7-inch EP but they are not on the standard vinyl or CD releases of the album. Like the rest of One Hand Clapping, they've circulated on bootlegs for a zillion years.

A video of Paul performing "Blackpool" from the session also will debut on YouTube tomorrow.


Here (maybe, if it's not taken down) is an unofficial video of the entire Backyard performance:
