On April 8, 2026, Paul McCartney’s official WhatsApp channel announced a special edition of the upcoming album “The Boys Of Dungeon Lane“, pressed by Third Man Records.

This marked the third collaboration between Paul McCartney and Third Man Records, following the releases of “McCartney III” in 2020 and “Man On The Run” in 2026.

The LP was sold exclusively through Paul McCartney’s official store and Third Man Records’ store. It features an alternate cover artwork, incorporating a reproduction of Paul’s handwritten lyrics from “Days We Left Behind“.

From The Boys of Dungeon Lane – Third Man Records White Label LP – Third Man Records – Official Store:

“White label” edition, pressed at Third Man Records in Detroit, featuring a reproduction of Paul’s handwritten lyrics from “Days We Left Behind.” One-time limited pressing.

The Boys of Dungeon Lane is not only the 18th solo album to be released by Paul McCartney; it is a collection of rare and revealing glimpses into memories never-before shared along with some newly inspired love songs, from one of the most culturally significant figures of our time.

Across the album, Paul turns the lens inward, revisiting the formative years that shaped not only his life, but the very foundations of modern popular culture. In a career defined by timeless storytelling and unforgettable characters, Paul now tells the most personal story of all, his own. The album is his most introspective album to date, taking the listener back to where it all began. These extraordinary new songs find Paul writing with rare openness about his childhood in post-war Liverpool, the resilience of his parents, and early adventures shared with George Harrison and John Lennon long before the world had ever heard of Beatlemania.

Like his career, The Boys of Dungeon Lane is musically eclectic and sees Paul across an array of instruments and styles showcasing his broad musicality. There’s Wings style rock, Beatles style harmonies, McCartney style grooves, understated intimacy, melody driven storytelling, character songs – the common thread being Paul.

List of “The Boys Of Dungeon Lane” album variants

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.
