Paul McCartney To Release Two New Albums In June

Sir Paul McCartney is set to release two more albums from the Paul McCartney Archive Collection this summer.

The albums are 'McCartney', originally released in April 1970, and 1980's 'McCartney II', which marked his return to solo work following Wings.

The former Beatles star personally supervised all aspects of these two reissues and remastering took place at Abbey Road.

Both albums will be released on a standard CD edition, while 'McCartney' will also be made available as a 2 CD Special Edition featuring the original remastered album plus seven bonus audio tracks.

You can see details about the other editions below.
