A cleaned up version of the infamous Backyard Tapes recorded by Paul during the filming of "One Hand Clapping" in 1974. I've made some kind of restoration: most of the loud tape hiss has been removed by noise suppression and some EQing and imaging has been made to brighten up the performance.

"The Backyard" or "The Backyard Tapes" is an acoustic performance recorded on Friday 30th of August in 1974 in the yard behind the echo chambers in Abbey Road Studios. The performance was also filmed with two cameras, but (by now) only less than 4 minutes of footage has surfaced. It's said that only 9 minutes of the 25-minutes set was filmed, after which they ran out of videotape.
The setlist also contains "Blackpool", a McCartney penned tune which he later told was one of "a number of songs which I would just sing but not really record. They were mess-around songs, and this was one of them."
