Kæmpe vinyl single-boks fra Paul McCartney

af Karsten Jørgensen

I år fyldte Paul McCartney 80 år, og det er sikkert årsagen til, at den store boks med vinyl-singler, han udsender gennem MPL/Capitol/Universal den 2. december, indeholder netop 80 forskellige singler.

”The 7” Singles Box” indeholder i alt 163 sange, og da en del af McCartneys singler gennem årene slet ikke er udkommet som almindelige 7”-singler, så snyder han selvfølgelig lidt. Dels er udvalget fordelt på variationer fra hele verden, og dels udsendtes mange som enten 12” singler, cd singler eller som digitale singler.

65 af vinylsinglerne i boksen er faktiske kopier af udkomne 7”-singler, mens de resterende 15 er ”falske”, og de spænder fra 7”-singlen ”Another Day” i 1971 til 12”-singlen ”Women and Wives” i 2020.

Boksen indeholder også en bog på 148 sider, skrevet af Rob Sheffield fra Rolling Stone, og med et forord af Paul McCartney selv.

”The 7” Singles Box” på vinyl udkommer kun i et oplag på 3000 eksemplarer, og kommer i England til at koste 615 £. Endvidere udsendes samlingen også digitalt, men ikke på cd.
