Paul McCartney box set assembled three albums

Written, performed and produced entirely by Paul McCartney, his three eponymous career-spanning solo albums (1970’s McCartney, 1980’s McCartney II, and 2020’s McCartney III) will now be packaged together and available in one special box set for the first time.

McCartney I II III box set will be available in three different formats – Limited Edition Color Vinyl, Black Vinyl Edition and CD – each including three special photo prints with notes from Paul about each album. The newly created box set cover art and typography for the slipcase are by Ed Ruscha. To pre-order McCartney I II III, please click HERE.

McCartney, the Number One Album was Paul’s first solo album released in 1970 and features tracks “Every Night”, and “Junk,” along with “Maybe I’m Amazed."

Just as McCartney marked the end of an era with Paul’s first release after leaving the biggest band in history, Paul did it again in 1980, this time signaling the end of '70s rock giants Wings. Taking a fresh approach to things, Paul wrote, performed, and produced the avant-garde masterpiece McCartney II, which reached Number One in the UK, and Number 3 in the US producing “Coming Up,” “Waterfalls,” and “Temporary Secretary."

With McCartney III Paul went back to basics again. Released in December 2020, just two years after Paul’s Billboard-topping Egypt Station album, “Rockdown" saw Paul turn unexpected time on his hands into an opportunity to get into the studio on his own. The intimate and loose record features “Find My Way” and the now live favorite “Women and Wives.” Upon release, McCartney III charted at Number One on the UK’s Official Album Charts and Number One on Billboard’s Top Album Sales Chart.

Paul will headline the Glastonbury Festival on June 25.
