Get your hands on a limited Jacaranda Edition of Paul McCartney’s upcoming album The Boys of Dungeon Lane. The package includes an exclusive 1960 replica Jacaranda Club membership card, as well as an O-sleeve, 12” insert, and your choice of black or pink vinyl.
From What’s inside the ‘Jacaranda Edition’ of Paul McCartney’s new album | The Guide Liverpool:
[…] Immediately the album has a different outer to the standard edition, Jacaranda has curated a number of albums from artists such as Jamie Webster, Keyside and The Stone Roses prior to this one. They all feature a blue cardboard jacket with a black paper insert naming the artist and album tucked behind it. The Boys of Dungeon Lane is the seventh edition of the Jacaranda’s collection of special editions, Ringo Starr’s album Long Long Road was the fourth, and they’re all becoming increasingly hard to get a hold of.
After removing the blue jacket and the black insert, you’re greeted with the album as sold as standard featuring an embossed street sign for Dungeon Lane front and centre, and a copy of Paul’s signature in the bottom right-hand corner. Inside the sleeve is an incredibly nifty lyric book with a colourful image of the star taking up the front page, with each song written out in a copy of Paul’s handwriting, he’s even doodled a couple of smiley faces for our amusement. As you take out the inner sleeve containing the record itself, you’ll notice the same signature art style featured on the front of the lyric book, this time with a collage of McCartney’s old friends from days gone by such as George Harrison, John Lennon and Brian Epstein. The inner sleeve provides a glorious pop of colour when contrasted against the off white colouring on the front of the album.
The disc itself was available in either pink or black, though the pink sold out much quicker than the black. The label in the middle has the track listing for each side of the record written out, again in McCartney’s handwriting. […]
Like it was done for the release of “McCartney III” in 2020, an aggressive marketing strategy was put in place for “The Boys Of Dungeon Lane“, resulting in the release of multiple variants of the album, in the form of coloured vinyls and “exclusive” CDs. Here is a list of those variants.
