As a member of the Beatles and as a solo artist, Paul McCartney's musical achievements are difficult to describe, given the vast nature of his work and its impact upon world culture. The Beatles are, unquestionably, popular music's outlier, which makes Paul the über-outlier.

Over his long career, Beatle Paul has fashioned himself as the veritable master of the pop event. And the new limited vinyl edition box set, "McCartney I II III" — that's "McCartney" (1970), "McCartney II" (1980) and "McCartney III" (2020) — is no exception. Significantly, it captures the ex-Beatle's most interesting long-running project, outside of his experimental Fireman concept.
