Two more classic solo albums from Paul McCartney, Tug of War and Pipes of Peace, will be released on October 2 in multiple expanded formats.

Tug of War was McCartney’s first album after the breakup of Wings and, for the new release, is highlighted with a totally new remix of each of the tracks. With the hits Ebony and Ivory and Take It Away, the album includes support from Ringo Starr, Stevie Wonder, Carl Perkins, Denny Laine, Steve Gadd and Stanley Clarke. The new version will include a 2-CD set with the 2015 remix and a bonus album with eleven demos and b-sides, and a 3-CD/1-DVD set with the 2015 remix, the original album, the bonus disc and a DVD with videos made for the album and an 18-minute documentary on Take It Away.

Pipes of Peace will be released in a 2-CD set with the original album and a disc of nine rarities along with a 2-CD/1-DVD set that adds music videos and three short home movies. Pipes of Peace includes the number one single Say Say Say with Michael Jackson.

In addition, look for both albums in 2-Vinyl LPs and as digital downloads.
