Earlier this year, Paul McCartney announced he'd be revisiting his most recent album -- 2018's Egypt Station -- with a lavish, limited-edition suitcase box set packed with vinyl, cassette, and CD versions of the album and a handful of bonus tracks, along with postcards, baggage tickets, luggage tags, lithos, playing cards, a map, and a jigsaw puzzle. While that Traveller's Edition box (due on May 10) is a luxurious, business-class trip, a slimmed-down set called Egypt Station: Explorer's Edition has been announced today that's sure to satisfy those who just want the music.
On May 17, Capitol/MPL will release Egypt Station: Explorer's Edition, which similarly expands on the core album without the knick-knacks. It will include all the tracks from the Egypt Station recording sessions, plus four live tracks from the promotional tour for the album in autumn 2018. The studio bonus tracks include a full-length version of the album cut "Who Cares," as well as "Get Started" and "Nothing For Free" from the Target-exclusive edition of Egypt Station, his recent single "Get Enough," and the new songs "Frank Sinatra's Party" and "Sixty Second Street." Egypt Station: Explorer's Edition will arrive in various configurations: 2-CD, 3-LP on black vinyl, and 3-LP on color vinyl. A digital version will also be available under the name Egypt Station: Deluxe Edition. Scroll down for the full track listing and Amazon placeholder links; these links will go live shortly!

Macca is doing it again - fleecing his fans who got it the first time.
