Just a quick post. The above song has a clip issued on the McCartney Years DVD. I wont be buying it until December due to impoverishment, but I will et you know if its the 74 TOTP clip or from McCartney's unreleased One Hand Clapping when I do.

It's from Top of the Pops 74.
It looks like a rehersal clip, not a transmitted clip though.

That's good even so.....strange its a rehearsal though. Hoping to get some bootleg McCartney promos next month too. I already have Back to the Egg with slates on DVD.

The new McCartney DVD looks fantastic but it's an utter shame all this archive material is going to be tampered with and cropped to make it widescreen. What a shame they didn't think to include an option to watch it in the original fullscreen.

I must say The McCartney Years is very good, but........

1/ Why did they cut down Rockshow

2/ Why did Paul not comment on all the tracks, would love to have heard what his thoughts we on Goodnight Tonight

3/ Why not have Spin It On.....my fav track from album

There always could be a volume 2

Is this the TOTP clip in question?

That's the TOTP clip I recall watching on the show at the time. Some people might assume it's a rehearsal as there are BBC cameras in shot but that's as I remember it going out, as part of the style of the clip; as if it's a live appearance. One question though - anyone know why the opening few seconds are slow-motion and repeated? Was this how it was or is it because it has been done to mask something (e.g. a few seconds missing or maybe a DJ intro spoken over it on the insert tape)?
