The album announcement coincides with the release of the previously unheard single 'Hi,Hi,Hi'.
One of the most bootlegged live albums in musical history , One Hand Clapping, will officially be released on June 14.
Today's announcement also comes with arrival of a previously unheard Paul McCartney and Wings single 'Hi,Hi,Hi'.
In August 1974, while Band on the Run was enjoying a seven-week consecutive #1 stint at the top of the UK album charts, Paul McCartney and Wings headed to Abbey Road Studios for the filming of a video documentary and possible live studio album – One Hand Clapping. Despite overwhelming demand for newly recorded material from the band, One Hand Clapping was never officially released.
Filmed and recorded over four days and directed by David Litchfield, the release of One Hand Clapping will come as a long overdue release for Paul McCartney fans.

The June 14 release of the album will feature the original artwork designed for the project, including a TV sales brochure for the unreleased film at the time and several additional songs recorded off-camera--have been officially issued.
One Hand Clapping will be released in multiple formats, including an online exclusive 2LP + 7” package featuring a vinyl single of previously unreleased solo performances recorded on the final day of the sessions in the backyard of Abbey Road studios. These include 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) and Buddy Holly’s “Peggy Sue” and “I’m Gonna Love You Too.”
Fans can pro-order the LP and listen to 'Hi, Hi, Hi' here.
