For almost ten years, the Paul McCartney catalog has been getting the deluxe reissue treatment in what has been called the “Archive Collection.” When it was announced in August that McCartney was switching back to Capital Records, the future of these deluxe releases became uncertain. Would Capital continue the series and in the same format?
Today, we finally have the answer, which happily is YES!
“Flowers In The Dirt” will be the next release from the Archival Collection on March 24, 2017. As with previous releases in the series, there will be a 2 CD version as well as a super deluxe edition with 3 CD, 1 DVD and a 112 page hardcover book.
This release may also be of special interest to Elvis Costello fans, since many of the songs from the album were Costello-McCartney collaborations. One disc in both versions will feature demo versions of these songs as recorded with Costello. A vinyl release is also planned for the same date.
See below for the complete track listing of each version, and read the official announcement on McCartney’s website.
