Notes: Paul made yet another unreleased film documentary in 1978. This one was for the recording of "Rockestra Theme", a track from his "Back To The Egg" album.

After filming the recording sessions Paul filmed himself at his "Waterfalls" home in Sussex, England, sometime in summer 1979,
pretending to actually write the instrumental which begins this special. The documentary actually carries a copyright year of 1980.

At the press launch of "Back To The Egg" at Abbey Road studios on June 11, 1979 a 15 minute edit of the "Rockestra" doco was
screened. All this filming was to no avail as except for a promo video (in 2001) the film has, like so many other film projects of Paul`s, sat in the MPL vault.
