1969

BBC/Reuters/ITV News - Paul & Linda's Wedding Day (VArious Locations, London, March 12 1969)

Once the media got wind of Paul and Linda's wedding they all sprung into action with all networks following them during the day and
evening. Some managed interviews as well. A total of about 6 minutes of footage is available mostly in colour.

ABC News Raw Footage - Paul on His Scottish Farm (Cambelltown, Scotland, Early Nov 1969)

A film crew from the American ABC news flew over to Scotland and then drove through the wilderness to Paul`s farm to try and obtain an
interview with him to debunk the stupid rumours that he was dead. Paul was none to amused by this invasion of privacy and told them so
which was all caught on colour film. A side of Paul very few people have seen before or since. Essential viewing.

Colour Home Movie - Paul with Baby Mary in Scotland (Near Cambelltown, Scotland, Late Nov 1969)

Linda filmed some colour home movies footage of Paul with Mary wrapped up in his jacket while they walked along a cold and windy beach
near their Scottish farm. This wonderful footage was first seen in the documentary "Wingspan".

1971

The 13th Annual Grammy Awards (Los Angeles, March 16 1971)

Paul & Linda, who were in LA at the time recording "Ram", decided at the last minute to attend that years "Grammy Awards" in Los Angeles.
They quickly accepted the Grammy for "Let it Be" from actor John Wayne and made a hasty retreat.

Scotland Acoustic Session (Cambeltown, Scotland, June 6 1971)

While Paul and Linda were being filmed for their promo films of "3 legs" and "Heart of The Country" the camras kept rolling while Paul
played some songs on acoustic guitar accompanied by Linda while Heather and Mary played around and danced nearby. A minutes worth of
footage of "Bip Bop" & "Hey Diddle" was first seen in the 1979 TV special "Wings Over The World". Later 40 seconds of "Hey Diddle" showed
up in the "Wingspan" doco in 2001 but then in 2018 the "Wings Wild Life Archives Collection" DVD we got to see the most footage so
far which included: "Good Rockin` Tonight"; "Bip Bop"; "Hey Diddle"; "She Got it Good" & "I Am Your Singer".

1972

Wings ICA Rehearsals (London, Feb 2 1972)

Excerpts from the first days rehearsal have turned up in a few docos over the years: "Lucille" (51 secs): "Wings Over The World" (1979) &
"McCartney" (1986); Arrival Scenes & "The Mess" (black & white) (2:00 Mins): "Wingspan" (2001); Arrival Scenes & "Wild Life" (colour)

Three takes (7 mins) of "Give Ireland Back To The Irish" (third take is incomplete) is then followed by a complete unedited interview with Paul & Linda (9:13 mins). Nice colour.

The Bruce McMouse Show (Various Locations in Europe August 19-24 1972)

Towards the end of Wings 1972 European tour Paul decided to film some of the concerts for a potential TV special. It seems that some of
the filming was done during the day at the venue of the actual concert that would take place that night and a "fake" audience was
specially filmed for later inclusion to give the impression it was an actual live concert. Actual live footage from the concerts was also
used. The locations that were filmed were: Aug 19: Groningen, The Netherlands; Aug 20: Amsterdam, The Netherlands; Aug 21: The Hague, The Netherlands and Aug 24: Berlin, Germany.
Now at some point Paul decided to incorporate some animated footage of a family of mice who live under the stage. The storyboard called
for some interaction between the band and the mice so further footage had to be filmed around June/July 1973 at Twickenham Studios in
London. They also filmed a special introduction and ending at Twickenham in 1973. Production on the special took forever until it was
finally completed in 1977. The special was eventually remastered in beautiful colour in 2018 and released on the DVD/Bluray portion
of Paul`s archive release of "Red Rose Speedway".

Colour Home Movie - Paul, Linda & Denny in Spain (Vilajoyosa, Spain, June 14-26 1972)

With a tour just around the corner, Paul & Wings decided to travel to Spain for a holiday as well as some rehearsing for the tour.
One day Paul, Linda & Denny were lazing around on the local beach in Vilajoyosa when a school excursion complete with nuns descended onto the
beach. Someone had a home movie camera with them and filmed some brief footage of the occasion. This footage is currently only in the hands of some collectors.

1973

James Paul McCartney (ATV Studios, England & Various Other Locations, Feb 19-April 1 1973)

It is finally commercially released on the "Red Rose Speedway" archive edition in December 2018.

BBC News - McCartney`s Court Appearance (Cambeltown, Scotland, March 6 1973)

Paul was busted for growing marijuana at his Scotland farm from seeds a fan had sent him (so he says). In March they appeared in a local
Scottish court to face the charges. Although this BBC interview is less than a minute in length it's interesting because
Paul keeps a straight face throughout despite obviously finding the whole thing a bit of a joke.

BBC News - Bristol Interview (Bristol, England, May 11 1973)

Before their concert in Bristol Paul & Linda sat down with BBC News for an interview.

Look North - Newcastle Interview (Newcastle Upon Tyne, England, July 10 1973)

in 2007 & used on the DVD "Band on The Run deluxe edition" in 2010.

Disney Time (BBC Studios, London, December 16 1973)

Paul & Linda hosted this annual UK episode of "Disney Time" on Boxing Day in 1973. Even their children, Mary, Stella & Heather make a
cameo at the start and end. Although it`s as rare as hens teeth it does exist in very good black and white in the hands of a few collectors.

1974

The Today Show (MPL, London, March 8 1974)

Paul sat down with NBC news for a rare interview. His first real "formal" TV interview in 3 years. The only available copies of this
interview are unfortunately in bad quality colour however a pristine 26 second extract was shared on Youtube in 2009.
Hopefully the whole interview is out there somewhere in this superb quality.

Home Movie - Wings Nashville Sessions ( Nashville, USA, July 1974)

Home movie shot on Super 8mm by a kid named Gil Gillam, who Paul and Linda let into the studio to hang with them for the day.

The Backyard (Abbey Road Backyard, London, Aug 24 1974)

This is a film project that Paul made one afternoon in the "backyard" of Abbey Road Studios while shooting the "One Hand Clapping" TV
special. Although the full film, which is just Paul busking through some covers and a couple of original songs including the unreleased
"Blackpool", remains unreleased some extracts have been broadcast in the 1986 "Paul McCartney Special" and "The McCartney Years" in 2007.
So far we have the following excerpts: "Blackpool" (1:25); "Peggy Sue" (1:10); "I`m Gonna Love You Too" (1:08). It's rumoured that
collectors do have copies of the complete film which suprisingly only runs 9 mins despite over 25 mins of audio being available since the 80's.

1975

"Recording My Carnival" (New Orleans, USA, Feb 12 1975)

This is colour footage of Wings recording backing vocals for the song "My Carnival" in New Orleans which was filmed by the local New
Orleans TV news program "News Scene 8" in February 1975 and later acquired by MPL. Just over 3 minutes of footage was featured on the DVD
in the "Venus & Mars Archives Collection Deluxe Edition" in 2014.

Granada Reports - Interview (Manchester, England, Sept 12 1975)

Wings were interviewed by the British current affairs program "Granada Reports" after their gig in Manchester in Sept 1975. As were most
of their UK 1975 tour TV interviews, this too was a rather crazy and inebriated interview. So far this interview remains in the hands
of a few collectors and has yet to be bootlegged.

Treffpunkte (Manchester, England, Sept 12 1975)

A backstage interview with Paul & Linda & some live footage snippets of "Rock Show", "Yesterday", "Magneto & Titanium Man" & "Letting Go" is in the hands of collectors.

Dit Bizarre?" and broadcast in colour.Apart from the interview they also played footage of songs presumably filmed at the Aberdeen
concert: "Letting Go"; "Listen To What The Man Said" and "Yesterday" which were all shown almost complete.
This interview is only in the hands of collectors.

This lovely colour quality footage consists of the off cuts that were left over after all the film had been edited for the TV special

1976

Unknown Danish TV - Interview (Copenhagen, Denmark, March 20 1976)
