The Bruce McMouse Show will finally be released!

We have been waiting many years for this but it's finally going to happen: The Bruce McMouse Show! A film I have been longing to see ever since I first heard about it in the seventies. Nothing at all has been seen from it earlier, and it is by Wings and Macca fans regarded as "The Holy Grail" of shelved McCartney productions. The Bruce McMouse Show was intended as a one-hour, part-animated, film for ITV with two advert breaks. The idea was to show concert footage from the Wings Over Europe tour of 1972, interspersed with animation action relating to the cartoon characters Bruce McMouse and family living under the floorboards of the stage. Although it was completed, it's never been shown and probably didn't stand up to McCartney's high standards.

The film will be now made available as video material on the new archive edition of Red Rose Speedway. Yes, the two albums Wild Life and Red Rose Speedway are being released in the Archive editions soon. Other video material includes the James Paul McCartney TV Special as well as the unseen ICA rehearsals, which we have only seen small bits and pieces from earlier.

Here are the track lists of the DeLuxe editions:
