Though Paul McCartney has previously released one studio album, Memory Almost Full, with California-based indie label Concord Music Group, the majority of his post-Beatles output, including his first two self-titled solo albums, Ram, and the entire Wings catalog, was partially owned by the Fab Four’s former label, EMI. Well, that deal has since expired, and McCartney is now set to reissue most (if not all) of those classic records via Concord.
ABC News reports that about two dozen albums have been handed over to McCartney’s new indie label, including Wings’ classic triple platinum record, 1973’s Band on the Run, which is already set to be remastered and reissued this August, complete with — according to CMG — “enhanced packaging and rare bonus content.”
No wonder “Uncle Albert/Admiral Halsey” soundtracked a scene in Noah Baumbach’s new indie-centric film, Greenberg.
