Whether you are completing your classic rock library or discovering his modern masterpieces, our online storefront features the essential milestones of his historic catalog:
-
McCartney (1970) & McCartney II (1980): Revolutionary, entirely self-recorded DIY milestones.

Ram (1971): Co-credited to Linda McCartney, this brilliant indie-pop blueprint is packed with lush arrangements, intricate vocal harmonies, and eccentric melodies on tracks like "Uncle Albert/Admiral Halsey."

The Wings Masterworks (1971–1979): Experience the ultimate stadium-rock era of Paul McCartney & Wings. Explore chart-topping, multi-platinum triumphs like the cinematic Band on the Run (1973), the driving energy of Venus and Mars (1975), and the brilliant pop hooks of London Town (1978).
-
Tug of War (1982) & Flaming Pie (1997): Critically acclaimed studio landmarks produced alongside legendary figures like George Martin and Jeff Lynne, featuring beloved tracks like "Ebony and Ivory" and "Beautiful Night."

McCartney III (2020): His phenomenal modern addition to the trilogy. Recorded completely solo during lockdown, this chart-topping record proved his creative well remains infinitely deep.
Why Collect Paul McCartney on Vinyl?
Paul McCartney’s productions are famously rich, warm, and highly textural. Whether it's his iconic, melodic Höfner basslines, intricate acoustic picking, sweeping orchestral backdrops, or layered vocal overdubs, his arrangements demand an audio format with incredible depth. Digital files often compress the organic dynamics of these meticulously engineered recordings.
On vinyl, the music is allowed to breathe. The natural analog warmth rounds out the bass, sharpens the room acoustics of his home-studio sessions, and gives his legendary vocals an organic, intimate presence.
Our official store offers premium 180g heavyweight vinyl pressings, including the highly sought-after Archive Collection remasters. Cut from the original analog master tapes at legendary facilities like Abbey Road Studios, these premium editions feature beautifully restored original artwork, heavy-duty gatefold jackets, exclusive photo booklets, and custom inner sleeves that make every record a magnificent visual and tactile collector's piece.
