Paul McCartney and Third Man Records have released McCartney/333, a mini-documentary detailing the vinyl pressing process for the limited “333 Edition” version of McCartney’s 2020 solo album McCartney III. The documentary specifically lays out the process by which vinyl copies of 1970’s McCartney and 1980’s McCartney II were broken down and reformed into 333 limited-edition copies of McCartney III at Third Man Pressing.
Several Third Man Records employees, including co-founder Ben Swank, are interviewed for the film alongside Rolling Stone journalist Rob Sheffield, spliced in alongside footage of McCartney creating the new album in his studio.
In addition to the “333 Edition,” McCartney recently released the “3333 Edition,” an indie-store exclusive limited to 3,333 copies worldwide on yellow-and-black splatter vinyl, also composed of a “regrind” of McCartney & McCartney II records at Third Man Pressing.
