Notes: "Blankit`s First Show" is a film directed by Barry Chattingham & produced by Linda & Paul McCartney with
a soundtrack mostly performed by Paul including one unreleased song (at the time) called "All You Horse Riders" from 1979.
This film is about one of Linda`s appaloosa horses called "Blankit" who is taking part in its first competition. The short film was broadcast by the BBC in July 1986.
A sequel was made in the 90`s called "Appaloosa" containing more unreleased music. Interesting bit of trivia.
. It seems that a VHS video was being put together featuring "Blankit`s First Show" and the sequel "Appaloosa" beacause in the Autumn 1992 issue of Paul`s fan mag "Club Sandwich",
along with a review of the "Appaloosa" film, there was a pic of what looked like cover art for a Video release (see pic in this entry).
However it was never released. It is worth noting that neither Linda or Paul are seen in this film. Linda does however narrate for a couple of minutes towards the end.
