PAUL McCARTNEY
EGYPT STATION — EXPLORER’S EDITION

MAY 17 RELEASE FEATURING EGYPT STATION II ALBUM OF ADDITIONAL STUDIO & LIVE TRACKS

FRESHEN UP U.S. TOUR 2019 KICKS OFF MAY 23 IN NEW ORLEANS

Paul McCartney has confirmed a May 17 release for Egypt Station – Explorer’s Edition on Capitol Records. This expanded version of Paul’s #1 charting Egypt Station will arrive barely a week prior to the start of the U.S. leg of Paul’s Freshen Up Tour—his first extended stateside run since the One On One Tour that played to some two million fans around the world. 

Egypt Station was released September 7, 2018 to stellar reviews. Rolling Stone raved, “Macca keeps adding new gems to his songbook, with nothing to prove except he’s the only genius who can do this… And, oh yeah — in his spare time, he happens to still be the greatest live performer on Earth,” while Entertainment Weekly described the album as “the still-vital life force of a superstar who has been there and everywhere and is glad just to be here now.”

Egypt Station – Explorer’s Edition is comprised of the original record plus a second album, Egypt Station II. The bonus disc collects all songs released during the Egypt Station voyage, from studio tracks including the surprise single “Get Enough” to live performances captured at stops such as Abbey Road Studios, The Cavern and Grand Central Station.

The complete track listing for Egypt Station II is:
Get Started 
Nothing For Free 
Frank Sinatra’s Party
Sixty Second Street 
Who Cares [Full Length] 
Get Enough
Come On To Me [Live At Abbey Road Studios]
