Even on popular discussion forums (like the Steve Hoffman Music Forum – currently up to 846 pages talking about The Boys of Dungeon Lane), there are fans who doubt anyone could possibly try to collect each and every variation of the latest McCartney release. We’ve tried to capture all of the current variations we’re aware of in this chart. Here’s the latest version:

However, there ARE collectors out there who do go for gold (and silver, and red, and white, and splatter…..etc. etc.!) and try to get everything.

One of our readers, Guy in the United States, has now amassed no less than 18 versions of Dungeon Lane. He sent us through this image:

The variants in the covers are: red, green, blue, embossed white (i.e. ‘the gatefold’), Third Man Records, Jacaranda Records, and Amoeba.

The vinyl LP variants: red, white, black, silver, green, yellow, pink, blue, purple, gold, splatter, picture disc, and white label.

Inner Sleeves: red, green, blue. Booklet.

Other Formats: red CD, green CD, red CD sleeve, green CD sleeve, cassette and booklet.

Doo Dads: eight different postcards, plus the Dungeon Lane tote bag from the listening party (not pictured).

I think you’ll agree his collection is an impressive sight displayed as it is. Thank you Guy for sending through the image, and big congratulations on the effort in tracking each of those variants down.

Another avid collector is Beatle Dustino, who has been detailing on YouTube his quest to collect every variant of The Boys of Dungeon Lane from around the world. As each came in he’s been uploading an unboxing video. As an example, here’s his video showing all the different lyric cards and photo prints that came in various editions.

As you can see he includes the lyric cards that came with the McCartney Store exclusive green vinyl; the Target exclusive red vinyl; and the Target CD. Plus the photo prints exclusive to the McCartney Store green CD; the Walmart exclusive CD; the Barnes & Noble or Rough Trade gold vinyl; and the listening party exclusive silver vinyl. Plus he shows the lyric card, photo print and post card that came with the Japanese SHM-CD Deluxe Edition. Phew!
