Cory's team triple checked the total number of claps using different methods.Īccording to reports, video and audio evidence of Cory's attempt is in the process of being submitted to Guinness for official certification. The alternating one-handed claps were counted down by slowing the audio and video to read the waveform, said reports. "This was my first time serving as a witness to a Guinness World Record attempt and I must say it was very exciting to be a part of Cory's big day," Bonner said after Cory's attempt. The attempt was witnessed by Rocky Point town councilwoman Jane Bonner, who said it was an exciting experience to be a part. However, the official count is yet to be verified the Guinness If you thought it's impossible to clap with one hand, you'd be surprised to see what a man from New York can do.Ĭory Macellaro attempted a Guinness World Record for the most number of alternating one-handed claps in 1-minute.Ĭory, who took on the challenge at Heritage Park in Brookhaven in front of witnesses, managed to 853 one-handed claps at an average of 14 claps per second.īy doing so, he broke the previous record of 685 claps, which was set by Hassan Alghazali of Iraq back in 2019. It takes two hands to clap! But just one to set a world record. As it is here the documentary definitely needs some editing and work for a final product, but this is probably the best we’ll see of this until the master does indeed surface.Man performs 853 one-handed claps in 1-minute | Photo Credit: Twitter The interviews are also cool to listen to, hearing Paul speaking about aging and other topics. It’s also great to have another studio version of “Soily” and the very rare song “Suicide”, one of McCartney’s first songs, and a rare version of “1985″. He is wearing his karate uniform and even shows his moves during the drum improv. It is interesting to note this is the only existing footage of Geoff Britton playing with the band, since he never did tour with them. The performances are good for a rehearsal. Assuming this date/info is correct then at least we know that the OHC sessions could not have been filmed/recorded any later than 9th September. The sound quality is very good, as good as the Watchtower release from 2001. The songs from the One Hand Clapping sessions to have been used were: Jet, Let Me Roll It, Juniors Farm, My Love, Little-Woman-Love / C Moon / Little-Woman-Love (medley) & Maybe Im Amazed. A rarely seen 'rockumentary' made by Paul McCartney and his then band, Wings, at Abbey Road studios in London, in August 1974. With Geoff Britton, Howie Casey, Geoff Emerick, Denny Laine. The picture is fuzzy and wavy at points and really shows its age. One Hand Clapping: Directed by David Litchfield. Despite the claim on the front cover, the master was NOT used but a copy several generations away. This new release on Misterclaudel is their first foray into DVD (along with the simultaneously released “James Paul McCartney”) and is interesting without being enlightening. The only problem is the tour never did happen when Britton was unceremoniously dumped from the band, and “One Hand Clapping” remained in the vaults, never to air.


To counter all of this they produced this television documentary showing them rehearsing in Abbey Road Studio for their first true world wide tour and interviewing Paul and showing everybody generally in a positive light. The British press was running many stories about the clashes and imminent breakup of Wings along with the usual rumors about the reunion of the Fab Four. They had a strange mix of personalities to go along with the usual pressure of playing in the same band as an ex-Beatle. Having released their biggest hit with Band On The Run, McCartney was breaking in a whole new band with guitarist Jimmy McCullouch and drummer Geoff Britton. When Paul, Linda and the rest of the band returned to the UK after their seven week working vacation in Nashville, Tennessee, there were many pressures on the band at this time. “One Hand Clapping” is a strange document.
