Paul McCartney April 1979

Title: Goodnight Tonight (Version A)
Type: Promotional Film
Filming Location: Hammersmith Palais, London, England
Filming Date: April 3rd 1979
Broadcast Date: April 19th 1979
Country Of Broadcast: UK
Duration: 03:47 Minutes
Quality: A
Source: "The McCartney Years" (DVD 2007)
Other Sources: "Paul McCartney & Wings Chronology 1979 Vol 1" (Hog Town)
Notes: This version has Wings in 30`s style clothing throughout (no modern clothes scenes at all).
Also the whole promo is in colour but made to look like an old film.
In this version there is no footage of Paul playing the bongos which appears in every other version.
This also has shots taken from a completely different take of the 30`s style version as Paul does obvious facial
expressions and movements that do not occur in any of the other 30`s scenes which are all taken from the same different take.
I believe this version but without the "old film effects" was never broadcast but is in the hands of some collectors.
This promo was officially released in "The McCartney Years" DVD in November 2007 but with added "old film" effects throughout.
