Filmed and recorded over four days and directed by David Litchfield, the release of One Hand Clapping is a historic moment for Paul McCartney fans. Over the years, various parts of One Hand Clapping have been bootlegged with varying degrees of success. Some of the material has also appeared on official McCartney releases. However, the June 14 release of One Hand Clapping, which features the original artwork designed for the project, including a TV sales brochure for the unreleased film at the time, is the first time the audio for the film—plus several additional songs recorded off-camera--have been officially issued.

Key Points: 
  • Despite overwhelming demand for newly recorded material from the biggest band in the world at that time, One Hand Clapping was never officially released.

“You have to listen to the notes she doesn’t play,” Lisa says in the music’s defence.

Key Points: 
  • “You have to listen to the notes she doesn’t play,” Lisa says in the music’s defence.
  • The scene is meant to poke fun at the perceived pomposity of jazz, but it got me thinking about lyrics instead.
  • Which brings me to the recently released Dark Side of The Moon: Redux by former Pink Floyd front man Roger Waters.

Revisiting Dark Side of the Moon

    • He’s gone mad” – before launching straight into the opening line: “The lunatic is on the grass.” This positions himself as said “lunatic”, instead of – as the original does – allowing the listener to wonder who the subject is (former Pink Floyd bandmate Syd Barrett?
    • The media?
    • Humanity in general?)

The problem with overwriting

    • He chooses to replace the largely wordless original track with a monologue about a friend who died of cancer.
    • Waters is explicitly telling us the meaning, and as a result, he risks losing our engagement altogether.
    • In Redux, Waters goes from the extreme of understatement in his earlier work to the extreme of overstatement and overwriting.
