- "The Boys of Dungeon Lane" is McCartney's first solo album in more than five years (following 2020's "McCartney III"), released May 29 as a 14-track set produced by Andrew Watt.
- Amazon holds the exclusive on a collector-edition white vinyl pressing that ships with a 12-page lyric booklet and embossed cover artwork.
- McCartney introduced the album with the single "Days We Left Behind," whose title comes from a lyric referencing Dungeon Lane near Liverpool's Speke area, where he grew up.
- Ringo Starr joins McCartney on "Home to Us" — unveiled at a private Los Angeles listening session and described as McCartney's first true duet with his former Beatles bandmate.
- Variety's Chris Willman called the record "a celebration of memory" with wide-ranging styles, adding that fans and critics view it as McCartney's most personal project to date, revisiting postwar Liverpool, family memory and formative friendships with John Lennon and George Harrison.
Why it matters: The 14-track album delivers McCartney's first full collaboration-as-duet with Ringo Starr, a milestone for the two surviving Beatles. A premium white-vinyl Amazon exclusive gives collectors a physical entry point into what Variety called his most personal work, anchored in postwar Liverpool memories.
