- Matt FINALLY received his limited edition with 7 inch vinyl of One Hand Clapping!
Matts review of the music here: • Review! Paul McCartney...
The artwork is credited to the director david Litchfield, and was created at the time. No im not a big fan but get the history behind it.
I felt that way with the artwork for Now and Then. The design and lettering reminded me of a high school graduation or a card placement on a table.
They went with that cover, because it was drawn by the film's director, David Litchfield, for a brochure to give to prospective airing TV stations. That's the poster you get with the LP and CD sets. Yes, I think they were going for a bootleg motif for this. My bootleg is spectacular, with full color pics. 😊
I pre-ordered my copy from McCartney website & as of today 6/19 not here.
Hi Matt! Great music in a cheap packaging. This album fills a gap between "Band on the run" (73) and "Venus and Mars" (75). Until now, the only (kind of) Wings album for 1974 was "McGear". Now we have the real thing.
Loved Mcgear
@@canarsie56 Yeah! Great album! I discovered it in the 80's and always thought it was the next best thing to a real Wings album. Paul & Linda can be heard on almost every song and Jimmy & Denny did a great job on guitars. Mike's vocals are very good . Really love it and I listened to it very often. 😉
The CD has a gatefold so I bought that. No need for the incomplete Backyard cuts since they’re all available if you want to look for them. The Backyard songs were filmed so they could have released the video since they were so against releasing the complete film.
I got my copy yesterday. I like/love most of the tracks. It almost sounds like an early rehearsal for the forthcoming Wings Over America/Europe tours of 1975-76.
the packaging is beautiful and tasteful made. Especially the sleeves. If you love design thats pure early 70s style! You probably wouldn't like the White Album aswell if it would come out today.
Nicely put!
I hear the album and is so great. One of his best
I love the music!!!!!! Fab!!!! 🙏❤️👍☘️😊
I'm still waiting for mine haha!!! Been 2 weeks now?
Paul’s QC is horrible. 😊🙏
I think they were going for the bootleg look on this.The video is what should have been included. I bought the two disc set, I am happy with that.
Matthew thank you for sharing the music. It seems like the Beatles have been around forever because of their solo careers. Such a gift of music that they have given to the world. I'll get the CD at some point. I don't have this CD. God bless you and all you love.
Love the music overall David! Hate the cover! Blessings! ❤️👍☘️😎
Hi Matt, My copy is still sitting in the FedEx warehouse in the black hole called Grove City, Ohio. Will probably be put on my doorstep to melt when im in Providence for my dauhters college orientation. $10.46 for shipping, and God only knows when I'll receive it.
Hi Matthew .....don't disagree. Somewhat underwhelming ! Love the music ...don't care for the packaging. Only the music matters.......could of been better. Wonder whats due next to be thrust upon us ! McCartneys never predictable...he will have something up his sleeve.
I ordered the vinyl with the bonus EP from UDiscover, so you don’t need to order this exclusively from McCartney’s website.
same here. My copy is scheduled to arrive on Friday.
The cover and the recording sessions are explained in the archive edition of Band on the Run
Thank you for a good video.
Hey, The White Album had nothing on the front or back cover. At least this had an illustration. Just sayin'.
I hear ya, I still think the cover stinks, I like the music though! 🙏🎇🎆😊❤️💥🍻😎👍☘️⚾️
I saw someone else's unboxing of this a few days ago, and I agree with you that the packaging/presentation is boring. They could have made a collage of frames from the TV special, plus include any regular still photos of Paul and the band for the front cover, and then maybe a picture of Paul + Linda at the mixing board on the back (or something like that, related to the music). Even a photo of Paul plugging in his guitar or adjusting a knob on an amp. Plus, song lyrics and detailed credits would be good (or did they put credits on the poster?) would have been good. If I buy this, I'll get the CD. On the positive side, it is nice to see that this album (the CD, anyway) is the #1 top seller on Amazon right now. It is good to see new releases from Ringo, then this, and the remixed "Mind Games" sets.
You really said it all about the packaging and the artwork there Matt. And why no gatefold? But then again this is being done by other record labels with other artists, cramming two discs into a single sleeve. I guess that this is a money saving exercise. As for the artwork, what's with the baby? it just looks creepy. What would've been a nice touch would've been to use some shots taken by Linda at the sessions at Abbey Rd, or go for the Bootleg album look as The Who did with Live at Leeds back in the day. But this aside I am loving this album and the EP. Less than a month now until we get the Mind Games Ultimate Box... Again thank you Matt for another great Vid.....
We never thought the White Album cover was boring…😂 that’s what’s wildly ironic.
I like the White Album design. I don’t like this. My opinion. Cheers ☘️👍
But the overall packaging of the albums is very different. Honestly, if the White Album had a naked half baby/winged creature pencil drawing on it most people (if not all) would still be criticizing it to this day.
@@RobScuremusic good point Rob! 😊🙏❤️
Hi Matt, I'm waiting for the Gatefold, different cover, and colored vinyl version! Until then I will not purchase this one! The CD is good enough for me! And I didn't even order that yet! Lol..😅
Wow. This is sad! This is one of the huge reasons I’ve already stopped purchasing new vinyl (Late Millenial here). I’ll stick to finding oldies at half the price.
The packaging is a little boring. But at closer look there’s more going on there. The coffee stains on the whole left side. Even the appearance of ring ware. The texture of the paper is great too. I do think they were going for that bootleg feeling with it. I still think they could have done more though.
I really like the underdubbed. Still warmi g up to one hand clapping.
Well, you can't say you're not honest! I'd much rather see that than you liking it just cuz it is a Sir Paul release!
Like the music, hate the cover. 😎👍
You didn't hear me clapping ...because I only used one hand. Did Paul draw that baby? Baby with only half a Wing...because the group Wings were only hangin on by One Wing? Have fun...
Ha! Great points Robert! 😆😁❤️🍻👍☘️
I agree that the packaging is dull and need to rant on, because a great many albums being released this year also have horrible packaging. From super sterile AI graphics to the most boring fonts for album and song titles to quickly rushed pencil sketches, it’s as if most record labels today are too cheap to pay a talented artist for quality work. Maybe they’re rushing releases out too quickly to bother with the graphics, but this is highly unlikely since it seems to take forever for any artist’s new work to come out.
I have it on Spotify. That’s enough same as the under dubbed .
I enjoyed the music, hate the cover and package. 😉
@@matthewstreet1961 sorry matt didn’t see the music video !
Babys not even wearing a diaper what kind of parents...nice one Mat! Given the price of LPs at Least a gatefold-Better poster cover design. Guess collectors have to wait for expanded special editions. I will only buy the cd version used in a music store. Shame the DVD was not released that would have made it worthwhile.
They're not going to create new artwork to not hurt people's feelings, it's the original artwork.
Sure, I hear ya, that’s fine. Still looks like shite. Cheers 😎🙏
I can’t get over the baby either 😂
Weird! 🥲😁😂
@@matthewstreet1961 Soooo weird
Hi Matt, didn’t really think about the packaging, I thought Paul was going for the bootleg look anyway it’s the music that counts. Anyway take care and great video 😊
I don’t think it stinks ! That’s harsh . I won’t buy it but I have it on spotify. That’s enough for me .
Guess you didn’t watch my video about the music?! This was only about the COVER and DESIGN!! 🤨
The plain white sleeve with the cupid baby on it reminds me somewhat of "The White Album" design: just plain white design with bare minimums of photos and song listings. The record labels are plain white simply because they resemble acetate and test pressing labels, which weren't too imaginative with their designs either, but people can pay insane prices for them if they are by The Beatles, Elvis, The Rolling Stones, Dylan, etc.
Great post and insights Robert! Thank you! ❤️😊😎🙏👍🍻
There was no 7" in my copy.
Only in copies ordered through Paul’s website. 😎👍
I am happy with the music. It looks like it is supposed to be like a bootleg, hence the sparse packaging. Remember the double record for Red Rose Speedway?
Great point Jim! You’re making sense for sure. 🍻 cheers 😎👍☘️❤️😊🙏
@@matthewstreet1961, I always find your videos very fun and entertaining. You are a good pick up to make a day positive. Thanks!
I like the cover! 😂 as for the rest of it I wished they would have had more band photos. I wish Paul would take more of a hands on approach with this stuff. I am glad its out and also pleased with the fact it didn't end up being bonus material. I would like to see more releases like this from the Beatles and their solo camps as it did not cost an arm, leg, or even a wing. Ha Ha!
Should have released the DVD with it
Yes!!!👍
For the price.. yeah!!
DVD?? Is this 1997? Blu-ray, please.
ahhhh, you're a funny guy ! ( funny ? like how ? ) I'm not crazy about the cover either, but I like how the labels look like studio notes.
Just having some fun, I really enjoy the music…the cover art I could take it or leave it! 🙏☘️😊😎👍❤️
Looks like they were going for a spartan approach here! I heard it on my nephew's Appleplay in his car and liked what I heard. I agree that the packaging is quite meh.
it would have been nice to have had it in a gatefold sleeve with some really nice photos inside. There could also have been a nice poster of the whole band. Perhaps with the DVD / BluRay release.
Not a big fan of the artwork but the music is what counts…as a huge Wings fan, this could have been in a plain brown paper bag, I would be happy. The packaging seems to mimic the “Unplugged album” with minimalist packaging and artwork.
Music is fine! 😊🙏
They should've made it look more like The BEATLES (white album). They should've consulted some fans about the proposed cover art!
I'm a huge fan and I think they got the cover just right. Very similar to the bootleg CD on Voo-Doo.
@@daveidmarx8296 Great! In looking at it again, there seems to be some significance to the structure and texture of the cover art. There's the one wing and one hand somehow clapping. Also, at first I thought that was a speaker/not headphones. Sir Paul says, on one of the Beatles Anthology albums, "I've got a speaker in my ear!"
Hey Matthew, LOL I don’t have the lp yet But I think your Right it’s like a bootleg the double red rose speedway lp that came out a few years ago also looked like a boot to me. That Alta color light only works for Johns new mind games set. I don’t think the poster pamphlet looks so great either they could have made it more interesting with more pics and information. The cover reminds me of Van Halen’s 1984 LP cover or Balance LP cover. At least the music is Good!!! Thanks and take care!!!
Music is pretty good! 👍
Good Video Matt. I bought the Cd it was a gate fold lol the band info was the same. But the music was great! But yea I think they went for a bootleg kind of feel. Art work was boring too. Have a good one Matt!
Rock on!
Hi Matt ..... O YES, I am right there with you on this one lol wow!!!!! I do like the Music... I think but I am so over this one and the cover WOW don't get me started on this the Bootleggers are going to come out with a better one o wow right. Good video and just wow lol take care!!!!!
Rock on! Thanks Brad! Hope you’re doing well. Cheers 🍻! 😎👍☘️❤️😊🙏
@@matthewstreet1961 All is good and take care my fried!!!!
And I do hope that you are doing well to :). Take care!!!!!
I think they were probably going for the bootleg look for the album cover The music has been bootlegged many times over the years Unlike many others I like the drawing that McCartney did for the cover but I think they intended for the album to have that bootleg look!!! Better than the music being bad though
"Here's a review about the most trivial aspect of the album"
👍 yup.
Awesome video have a wonderful day ❤😊
Have to agree about the cover. A flabby baby with wings. I think you might be right Matt; that maybe they were trying to give it a bootleg look but we'll never know. I really like the music though. I saw a few posts in Lennon's Ming Games deluxe box set and wow was the design and material impressive. Expensive though. I think you could have done a better cover for One Hand Clapping than Paul - and I am actually sort of serious (yes me!) as I have seen some cartoons you drew in some old posts. Definitely some talent there.
Now & Then cover art was a complete disaster and a missed opportunity in my opinion.
Agreed! 👍
Yes, the packaging is kind of boring. I think it’s on purpose to make it look like a bootleg, as it in reality has been for a long time.
Like when The Who packed an official release like a cheap bootleg (-Live at Leeds).
This way the record can stand in your collection signaling that it’s just an afterthought, not one of the flashy designed releases from the 1970’s...
Great insights, thanks! 🙏
Very funny Matt. I'll stick with the cd on this one Lol.
I have a bootleg that contains the majority of this material from about 1979 that had better packaging....Oh, well...enjoy the music....Peace and Love, Terry Tutor
I thought this was great to own. Already some of it was in BOTR so it made sense to let it all get released. Sorry. I love it.
Music is great! Happy you like cover, I just do not. Cheers 🍻
I think the music is boring too. Especially when there is so much good stuff in the vaults still not released.
Don't judge a book by its cover
Good point! 🎼🎵🎶❤️🍻
lol Matt you hater haha
I like being a critical fan boy myself😄
Matt I LOVE soily..I think it may be better than juniors farm haha controversial
The cover makes me appreciate the now and then cover!
Loved the music for the most part. This was my thoughts on cover/design only. Cheers 🍻
I LOVE THE COVER!
I respect your liking it. 😊🙏
It's a terrible album cover, but then Paul probably did not want to spend much on art, since no one cares about physical product these days. It just seems cheap. The drawing of the baby doll with headphones is indeed weird.
McCartney's continued fire sale of his scraps. How about getting fixing up "Back To The Egg"...before I die for goodness sake.
What you talking about…? It’s a lovely shade of green! Packaging aside, fab music! (Also that isn’t the limited edition poster. I got mine (number 204 of 250) and it didn’t look like anything you showed…
It takes a brave man to go online and criticise a Beatle. The White Album is boring, though as Nik Cohn pointed out at the time of release.
Damn straight!
No honey, no money. I'm pass on it.
I rather enjoyed it personally. Can we not be happy new material exists?
@@SamHarrisonMusic I enjoyed it (music) immensely!! And yes I’m very happy with new material coming out! Did you watch? This was just about the cover art. My other video was about the music. Cheers
@@matthewstreet1961 No, I don't like watching negative content, so the title put me off. Personally, I love the cover. Cool packaging and of the era. Glad you enjoyed it musically though :)
I haven’t bought anything McCartney in quite a while
What's the point of dressing up what is essentially a 50 year old remaster of a bootleg album that everybody has heard anyway?
Yes the cover is bad why a naked baby music is ok next
Godawful cover
Why an audio telease instead of video? Rip off.
Years ago Bootleg lp’s designs were that way.
Great Sound.
Wow to do a review and put all the energy to critized.
See my other video reviewing the music
The last thing I enjoyed from McCartney was lavatory Lil.
Maybe if you were a MaCartney fan ...
Gee…that’s funny, cos I am. Who knew?!
There is something more to remark on that baby. It looks naked but it still has a collar. Perhaps someone was worried that it would be seen as child pornography and started to draw clothes on the baby. After the collar he was stopped or just forgot about it.
I don't mind the cover.
That is one ugly album cover!
get over it. jeez. I can't even finish - you are so negative - moving on....
You don’t even watch or subscribe to my channel. Go away. 😐
💯🚼👎
None of McCartney's post-Beatles production ever did it for me. Without Lennon to throw a little acid on his schmaltz, Paul fell prey to his worst songwriting tendencies. His solo production is hands-down the worst of the Fab Four's individual efforts. Even Ringo's stuff is more listenable.
