Ep. 272 | Paul McCartney's "The Boys of Dungeon Lane" (2026) Part 2
Consensus on the new Paul McCartney album has, to say the least, been mixed. Classical Bi-Monthly writes, “Where the f are the Liverpool Oratorio outtakes”? Dance Tuesdays proclaimed, “No Fireman? No interest”. And MAGA Monthly pouts with vitriol, “Why won’t woke Macca record with current, hit-makin’ patriots like Vanilla Ice, Lee Greenwood, or Chachi?”
But here at the UBP, we all adore “The Boys of Dungeon Lane”. Side 1 is perhaps Macca’s finest slab of wax. But what about Side 2? Is this where the patented Macca Fillers creep in? Or is Side 2 on par with the UNIFORMLY BELOVED (#TakeItTony) “Flowers In The Dirt”? And How Many People appreciate this reference?
The guys continue to break-down this historic release - now available in its 700th vinyl iteration - and also ask:
🎭 Is there even such a thing as “music” without the “Phantom Of The Opera” descending riff?
🔨 Huey Lewis is to San Francisco what the Grateful Dead is to San Francisco, am I doing this right?
