Paul McCartney — Complete Cold Cuts (4-CD Vinyl-Style Boxset)
The Most Famous Unreleased Paul McCartney Album — Now in a Unique Vinyl CD Edition
Cold Cuts is one of the most famous unreleased albums in rock history. Originally conceived in the 1970s as a Wings-era rarities compilation, Paul McCartney revisited the project multiple times between the mid-1970s and late 1980s — continually remixing, reshaping the tracklist, and pulling material in and out before ultimately shelving the project entirely. For decades it has existed only as a legend, with the actual recordings circulating quietly among bootleg collectors. This 4-CD vinyl-style boxset finally gathers the most expansive Complete Cold Cuts archive into one collector's release.
What's Inside
The boxset brings together the legendary unreleased recordings, studio outtakes, alternate mixes, demos, and rare session material connected to the abandoned project. Fan-favourite tracks include the elusive Waterspout, the much-loved Mama's Little Girl, A Love For You, Night Out, My Carnival, Hey Diddle, and many more recordings that for years could only be heard through collector tape trees and bootleg releases. Several songs originally connected to Cold Cuts have since been officially released through the Paul McCartney Archive Collection series — making the original concept even more historically significant.
Why This Set Matters
For Beatles and McCartney collectors, this release offers a fascinating glimpse into an alternate history of what could have become one of Paul McCartney's most unique albums — a lost collection of unreleased Wings material spanning multiple creative eras. Hearing the tracks together as Cold Cuts was originally envisioned gives the listener a window into a Paul McCartney album that almost was, but never quite became.
Unique Vinyl-Style Edition
Presented across four vinyl-style CDs — a unique presentation of this lost collection. The vinyl-style discs add a distinctive collector's character to the set, fitting for an archive project that has spent decades existing in fan consciousness.
