As is customary nowadays, it didn’t take long for Paul McCartney to follow up his last year’s “Egypt Station” with an expanded edition – in addition to the pricey collector’s box set that was out a few months ago. Why buy an initial pressing, then, if there are more goodies always on the way if you wait a little longer? This would get in the way of a record’s char action but… So the “Explorer’s Edition” of the ex-Beatle’s album, out on May 17th, will feature, alongside the already familiar songs, a bunch of extra tracks – some recorded live, some cut in a studio in the same time-frame – on a second disc. A completist’s delight, yet nothing more.
The expanded album – also available as a limited run of triple LP version – runs in the following fashion:
