Do You Want to Know a Secret?

Beatles legend Paul McCartney is at it again in Los Angeles — this time holding an ultra-exclusive listening party only days after playing a pair of intimate shows for Angelenos, The California Post can reveal. 

The new album listening party was held at Producer Andrew Watt’s home in Sherman Oaks. Paul treated an audience of around 40 people to his new record, telling stories in between, as his wife Nancy looked on.

Attendees called the experience absolutely “incredible.”

The select group of super fans and VIPs received an invite via email for the event, which was scheduled for Thursday at 5pm.

Lucky attendees were directed to The Capitol Records Building in Hollywood and were then whisked away to Watt’s home where they enjoyed an hour with the Beatle. Watt produced the new album.

While there fans got a chance to listen to McCartney’s first album in five years, “The Boys of Dungeon Lane,” which won’t be available to the public until May 29.

Guests were prohibited from bringing a plus one and had to surrender their phones and sign a release saying they won’t reveal any details about the new music.

Sir Paul has described the album as “a collection of rare and revealing glimpses into memories never-before shared, along with some newly inspired love songs.” according to his website. 

“It’s just a lot of memories of Liverpool. It involves a bit in the middle about John [Lennon] and Forthlin Road which is the street I used to live in. Dungeon Lane is near there.” McCartney said.

The same classified format was used last month for McCartney’s super-secret shows at the Fonda Theater in Hollywood. Fans received an email allowing them to purchase a ticket to the exclusive performances that attracted droves of A-Listers to the1,200-seat theater. 

Prices ranged from $200 to an eye-popping $1,600 per ticket, which included attendance during the sound check.

Taylor Swift, Sir Elton John, Jon Hamm, Harrison Ford, Reese Witherspoon and Red Hot Chili Pepper Anthony Kedis were all spotted heading into the March 28 show.

That next week, McCartney performed another show for employees of Apple outside their Cupertino, CA. “Spaceship” headquarters to celebrate 50 years of the computer giant.

The event saw thousands of employees happily singing along to “Hey Jude” and dozens of other Beatles and McCartney classics.
