'''''One Man Clapping''''' is the third album from English band [[James (band)|James]], a live album released in March 1989. The album was recorded at the [[Moles (nightclub)|Moles Club]], [[Bath, Somerset]] on the 14 and 15 November 1988. The album was issued on their own One Man imprint of Rough Trade Records, after parting company with Blanco y Negro/Sire. To fund the album, the band had to borrow £12,000 from the Royal Bank of Scotland. Initially, the bank manager was not willing to lend the band the money, but after seeing them live in Manchester he agreed.<br />
<br />
Because the album was self-funded, only 10,000 CD copies were produced; this has made the album highly sought after by collectors. Copies have been known to trade hands on [[eBay]] for in excess of £100.<br />
