Notes: The original promo for Wings single "Helen Wheels" was filmed at an unknown film studio in London as well as
footage of Wings driving along some country roads in Paul`s Rolls Royce.
The promo debuted on "Top of The Pops" on November 15, 1973.
The same promo, with remixed audio, was re-issued in 1993 to promote the "McCartney Collection" of CD`s.
Then in March 1999 to help promote the 25th anniversary re-release of the "Band on The Run" album,
an "enhanced" version of the "Helen Wheels" video was re-issued which contained digital effects which makes this version easily identifiable.
In November 2007 the original promo, though cropped, was issued in the "McCartney Years" DVD collection.
A remastered and remixed version of the original promo was issued on the "Band on The Run" Archives Collection Deluxe Edition DVD in 2010.
In 2024 Paul`s youtube shared a remastered HD copy of this promo.
