The Paul McCartney Singles Collection
Today, Apple Music revealed a new collection of Paul McCartney’s 7″ singles. 80 singles in all, consisting of 159 tracks are to be made available on the music streaming service, but we are also hearing rumours of a physical release of the same.
Since quite a few of these “7-inch singles” were digital singles consisting of one track only, some new ones will appear. Not to mention, some of these singles and mixes will be new to streaming. December 2 is the release date, and Apple Music have released extracts of two of the singles as samples, “Uncle Albert / Admiral Halsey” and “Too Many People”, both remastered anew in mono in 2022. Quite a number of the singles will be presented in new remastered versions, and some have the mastering date from when they appeared as part of the McCartney Archives series.
Judging by this teaser image, we could be expecting a wooden box.

2 December 2022 159 Songs, 10 hours, 3 minutes ® 2022 MPL Communications Inc/Ltd. $89.99 from Apple iTunes store.
Funnily enough, “Walking In The Park With Eloise” is listed late (it was remastered in 2014, which is not noted in this listing), does not have its original B-side “Bridge On The River Suite” included and is not attributed to The Country Hams, which was the name of Wings plus guests including Chet Atkins and Floyd Cramer in the Nashville session where it was recorded. Also worth noting is that some of the “Back To The Egg” and “London Town” tracks are noted as remastered, and some not. Both those albums are rumoured as coming up next in McCartney’s Archives series of releases.

Official announcement from PaulMcCartney.com expected later today (they always time this to target USA).
Hoping for a physical release! Noting that the “Off the ground” (Single Remix) is omitted and that some promo single remixes are missing (“Lonely Road”, “Your Loving Flame” etc) But this is great – and about time!
I wonder why Bridge On The River Suite hasn’t been included. An oversight or an error I wonder.
It seems that this version of “Bridge on the river suite” is the B side of “in the blink of an eye ” These two songs are excerpt from the 2016 Carl Davis album ” Ethel & Ernest”
I guess you mean “Walking In The Park With Eloise”, but I think you are right.
Have I missed it or it “Freedom” not there? It was a single.
Wartime politically incorrect?
I can’t see “A Leaf” there either
735 euros Sorry Paul
159 digital vs 163 physical tracks. What’s missing on the digital?
At least “Wonderful Christmas Time” as B-side to “The Christmas Song”. It just repeats itself. Maybe more of that kind of repetitions?
It’s ironic that the digital version has less tracks than the physical media set…..whereas, …..over on the Revolver ‘Super Deluxe Edition’ threads…….
From another source: “Four tracks appear twice on the physical set (“Old Siam, Sir,” “Wonderful Christmastime,” “We All Stand Together,” and the Tripping the Live Fantastic-era soundcheck version of “C Moon”).”
This explains the 159 vs 163 digital vs physical tracks.
