Notes: In early 1973 Paul was having a legal dispute with Sir Lew Grade and ATV music publishers.
The major outcome of this dispute was for Paul to film a TV special for ATV.
So in February thru to April Paul and Wings filmed the "James Paul McCartney" TV special in and around London and Liverpool.
The TV special was first broadcast on April 16, 1973 in the United States on the ABC network and was later broadcast in the UK on May 10, 1973.
It had never been re-broadcast to our knowledge.
It was finally issued on DVD (using the US broadcast) as part of the super-deluxe "Red Rose Speedway" box set in December 2018.

is performed instead of "Hi, Hi, Hi" (which is only shown in the US version).
