Paul McCartney Re-Releasing 2017’s ‘Egypt Station’ in an Expanded ‘Explorer’s Edition’ on May 17

Paul McCartney is proud of his 2018 album Egypt Station (and the Beatles legend should be proud of it, considering it debuted at the top of the music charts) — and on May 17, the album will be re-released in deluxe, expanded form in what’s being called the Explorer’s Edition.

This new version of the record will actually be the second major reissue already, after a limited-run Traveller’s Edition set announced back in February:

Paul has confirmed the release of the 'Egypt Station – Traveller’s Edition' box set out 10th May. This strictly limited deluxe edition of the #1 album #EgyptStation will be a one-time-only pressing limited to 3,000 numbered cases. PRE-ORDER INFO: https://t.co/4UICqbVuvH pic.twitter.com/Cj8NZWzfWG
