Episode 250! (With Friends)

We are very happy to have one of the distinguished authors/researchers/film editor Adrian Sinclair back on 2Legs this week. Adrian is the co-author of the celebrated The McCartney Legacy Volume 1 1969-73, along with Allan Kozinn. 
Adrian joins Andy and Tom as he gives an overview of this period in Wings history. Starting with the seeds of the era in during the infamous trip to Nashville in the Summer of 1974, then Geoff Britton and Jimmy McCulloch joining before heading back to London and Abbey Road where One Hand Clapping was planned to be filmed and released.
 The film was directed by David Litchfield but has remained on the shelf but snippets have been officially released most recently on the Archive Edition of Band On The Run (Nov. 2010). Adrian tells us about meeting David Litchfield and we are also happy to include a short soundbite of an interview he conducted with Litchfield during 2018. 
All this on the heels of One Hand Clapping the soundtrack album which is due out next week on the 14th June. We hope this episode gears you up even more for the release. Volume 2 of the McCartney Legacy is expected to be released on 10th December 2024. 
We thank Adrian for his time and hope you enjoy it! 
Andy and Tom

Episode 249: "One Hand Clapping" (A History) (With Adrian Sinclair)

We are very happy and proud to have had Luca Perasi back on Episode 248 of 2Legs! Luca is the author of several books:  (Paul McCartney Recording Sessions 1969-2013, Paul McCartney Music Is Ideas, Volume 1 1970-1989, Peter Gabriel: The Rhythm Has My Soul. The Stories Behind The Songs) and newly published Band On The Run: The Story of A Classic Album to coincide with the album's 50th(ish) Anniversary. (As the album finally shot to #1 in the US in the Summer of 1974). 
Luca explains why a singular text on Band on The Run is needed, (and more McCartney albums, as you will hear/see. Contexualising the period from whence it came, we discuss the Lagos trip, conditions, the crucial role Assistant Engineer Pete Sweetenham (Geoff Emerick's assistant) plays in the development of some areas of research. 
Contemporary reviews, polyphonic art forms, we cover it all here and more. Thanks Luca. 
We can't wait to see what else is coming down the road from you!  Luca was also consulted by MPL for research on the 2022 release The 7" Singles Box.  
Luca's New Book on Band On The Run. 
Peace, Andy & Tom 

Episode 248: Luca Perasi (Band On The Run)

We've got some friends joining us this week! In June 2007 Andy, Tom & James Liverani and Joe Mantineo all were lucky enough to attend the "Secret Gig" Promotional Show for Memory Almost Full at the Highline Ballroom in NYC. Tom, James, and Joe along with Andy recount their Memories (not almost full) about this epic concert, celebrities who attended, and the whole experience which is now 17 years ago which is absurd. Thank you Tom, James and Joe for sharing your stories and experiences. Anyone else out there fortunate enough to be at this show with us? 
Let us know! 
Peace Andy and Tom

Episode 247:  Highline Ballroom NYC 2007

We dive back into the Beatles for this episode because hello how could we ignore the first commercial world wide home video release of Let It Be. Yes we all had the boots, the laserdiscs, the VHS copies from the rental stores we copied as kids, but now we have it fully restored FINALLY. In superior video and audio quality. Streaming now on Disney + Michael Lindsay Hogg's original film has seen the light of day with the technical assistance of Peter Jackson and his team in New Zealand we can now "Let It Be". 
 
Your Thoughts?
