A series of EPs were planned to be released in conjunction with the film (directed by Dave Lichfield) with the aim of capturing the band playing live in informal recording sessions. The band went into Abbey Road studios on Sunday 25th August 1974 and over the next few days they recorded the tracks which made up the final recording. The filming took place in studio 2 but the repeat recordings were done in studio1. Geoff Britton has been in touch with the director of the film who stated he wasn't given any copies of the acetates leading us to believe that only these and Paul McCartney's copies are in existence. Accompanying the lot are 2 printed photos of Wings and their road crew/management at Abbey Road studios on Sunday 25th August enjoying a Chinese takeaway, which are signed by Geoff Britton. These live recordings have never been officially commercially released with these original versions unheard..
