The former Beatle turned solo singer-songwriter will release 'The 7" Singles' on December 2. Limited to 3,000 copies, it will come in a wooden crate and comprises 163 songs released between 1971 and 2019. 65 of the singles come with restored original artwork and the same b-sides, and 15 were previously unreleased on 7".

He said: "I hope the songs in this box set bring back fun memories for you too. They do for me, and there will be more to come…"

Earlier in 2022, the 80-year-old embarked on the Got Back Tour, his first US outing in three years. He also headlined Glastonbury in June.
His latest solo LP came in the form of 'McCartney III', released in 2020. In 2021, he collaborated with stars such as Phoebe Bridgers, St. Vincent, Damon Albarn, and Beck to cover songs for 'McCartney III Imagined'.
