Paul McCartney releases four new recordings on 9 December
Paul McCartney will release The Boys of Dungeon Lane Special Edition on 9 December 2026. The physical edition adds four recordings to the album, including a new mix involving Ringo Starr. The Boys of Dungeon Lane expands with four McCartney recordings.
The Special Edition adds the tracks City Fox, One Night Stand and Chelsea Boots, plus a new version of Home To Us. The revised duet changes the arrangement of the vocal parts performed by McCartney and Starr.
The physical release is scheduled for 9 December 2026 on CD and 2LP. The artist’s official release notice lists a limited orange-and-blue marble vinyl edition with a zoetrope etching. A German release report also places the CD and double-vinyl editions on that date.
Paul McCartney connects the new edition with Liverpool.
McCartney is a Liverpool-born singer, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist whose career includes The Beatles, Wings and extensive solo work. Britannica’s career overview describes his work with The Beatles, the formation of Wings and his continuing solo career.
The expanded release extends a project rooted in McCartney’s memories of Liverpool. Its material looks towards childhood, early musical experiences and the period before The Beatles became internationally known. The title comes from the song Days We Left Behind, which links the album’s personal theme with the city that shaped him. The Special Edition presents an 18-track collection.
The completed Special Edition contains 18 tracks. Its four additions preserve the album’s connection to earlier sessions while broadening the set with fresh recordings and a reworked collaboration.
The release also carries new artwork adapted from a silkscreened collage by Kate Gibb. Alongside the limited 2LP, the edition is listed in CD and digital formats, giving the expanded collection several physical and listening options.
