In light of the recent announcement of the next two archive releases from Paul McCartney and Wings, here is the white hot live-in-the-studio version of Soily from the One Hand Clapping film. I have never understood why a studio version of this song was never released. A fine live version appeared on the Maybe I'm Amazed (live) 45 b-side, but this OHC version just smokes it. Apparently Paul intended it to be part of the planned two-record release of Red Rose Speedway but that was cut to a single LP before release.
Every time I watch and listen to this performance on the Band on the Run archive release DVD I contemplate what an album full of stompers like this might have done for Wing's image back in the day. Along with Junior's Farm, this is as heavy as McCartney ever got outside of the Beatles. Anyway, I just love this song to death. Also dig Linda jigging about in the background, looking too cool for school. Big time Linda fan here!

I always liked this on the Wings Over America album, and never heard this version before. Ace stuff.
I also want to recommend "The Empty Hearts" to you. It's an allstar band of former Romantics, Cars, Blondie and Chesterfield Kings guys and their debut is sharp.
