The newly created boxset cover art and typography for the slipcase are by Ed Ruscha.Bookending 50 years of unparalleled work, each album demonstrates Paul McCartneys restless creativity and adventurous artistic spirit. McCartney, the Number One Album was Pauls first solo album released in 1970 and features timeless tracks Every Night and Junk, along with the immortal classic Maybe Im Amazed. This album saw a global music superstar pioneer a novel homespun approach to recording that would, in time, become a soughtafter sound and the highly influential precursor to the lofi alternative genre.Just as McCartney marked the end of an era with Pauls 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 avantgarde masterpiece McCartney II, which reached Number One in the UK, and Number 3 in the US, producing such classics as Coming Up, Waterfalls, and Temporary Secretary. With McCartney III Paul went back to basics again to create some of his most revealing work to date. Released in December 2020, just two years after Pauls Billboardtopping Egypt Station album, Rockdown, saw Paul turn unexpected time on his hands into an opportunity to get into the studio on his own. An intimate and loose record featuring Find My Way and the now live favorite Women and Wives, McCartney III features Pauls melodic gift at its forefront throughout. Upon release, McCartney III charted at Number One on the UKs Official Album Charts and Number One on Billboards Top Album Sales Chart.
