Amazon (worldwide) and the official Paul McCartney online store (in the US only) each offered an exclusive track-by-track commentary version of “The Boys Of Dungeon Lane“. However, neither version contained commentary for all of the album’s songs. Each included commentary for only half of the tracks, meaning that fans had to purchase both editions to obtain Paul McCartney’s commentary for the entire album.
