Paul McCartney Archives

Paul McCartney will cap his 80th birthday year with the Dec. 2 release of The 7" Singles Box, featuring 80 vinyl singles of his music with Wings and as a solo artist, 15 of which are appearing as seven-inches for the first time. The collection is limited to 3,000 copies and is housed in a wooden art crate, each of which contains a bonus, randomly selected test pressing of one of the singles. McCartney is previewing the box with the 1971 A- and B-sides "Uncle Albert/Admiral Halsey" and “Too Many People," both presented in their rare 1971 mono mixes. "I hope the songs in this box set bring back fun memories for you too. They do for me, and there will be more to come," McCartney says of the project, which includes a total of 163 songs and will also be available digitally. It can be pre-ordered from the artist's website. The 15 new-to-vinyl singles comprise songs previously released on CD, as digital downloads, on 12-inch vinyl, and other formats, as well as previously unreleased demos of "Dance Tonight" and "(I Want To) Come Home." The 65 singles which have been out on vinyl before appear here with restored original artwork drawn from 11 different countries. McCartney turned 80 on June 18, seven days before he headlined the U.K.'s Glastonbury Festival. The artist's work with the Beatles is once again in the spotlight thanks to last month's release of the Revolver deluxe reissue, which was remixed from the original master tapes by Giles Martin and includes 31 rare tracks from the original recording sessions.
