The Paul McCartney Archive Collection debuted with the 2 November, 2010 re-release of Paul McCartney & Wings’ 1973 milestone Band on the Run, which won the 2010 Grammy Award for Best Historical Album, while the Archive Collection’s Deluxe Edition Box Set of the 1976 classic Wings Over America took the 2013 Grammy for Best Boxed or Special Limited Edition Package. The most recent instalment was this year’s reissue of McCartney’s eighth studio album Flowers In The Dirt, which Rolling Stone called “spectacular…an extraordinary document,” and the Observer hailed as “perhaps the greatest record to emerge from the world of AOR in 1989… an absolute pleasure to rediscover today.”
Every release in the ongoing Paul McCartney Archive Collection is supervised by Paul McCartney himself, who oversees all aspects of each and every title from remastering to the curation of lost tracks, outtakes, artwork, photographs and video from his personal vaults, and much more. The result is one of the most ambitious and personal undertakings of its kind, one that encompasses more than 40 years of cherished, classic material from the most successful songwriter and recording artist in music history.
The CD, 180g vinyl and coloured vinyl editions of McCartney, Ram, Band On The Run, Venus And Mars, Wings At The Speed Of Sound, McCartney II, Tug Of War and Pipes Of Peace will be released on 17 November. Scroll down to read the full tracklistings and order the reissues here.
