Now that you've had time to perfect his Maccarita recipe, Paul McCartney has compiled 163 songs for a new 7-inch singles vinyl box set.

The 7" Singles is due December 2 and limited to 3,000 copies. Released between 1971 and 2019, the career-spanning collection of 80 singles — 65 of which come with restored original artwork and the same B-sides, with the remaining 15 having been previously unreleased on 7-inch format — was curated by the man himself.

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

The songs were all remastered and cut at Abbey Road Studios, and come packaged in a wooden crate. The set also includes a 148-page book with a foreword from McCartney about his love of B-sides and crate digging (excerpted by Rolling Stone), an essay by Rob Sheffield and recording notes, as well as release dates and chart information for each of the singles. It retails for $829.99.
