McCartney to release dance record

Sir Paul McCartney recently played a landmark concert in Israel

Sir Paul McCartney is to release an album of electronic music under his pseudonym The Fireman.

Electric Arguments, the third the former Beatle has made with producer Youth, is due out in November and contains a mixture of musical styles.

It will be the first record from Sir Paul since he released Memory Almost Full in his own name last year.

The album reached number three in the US and has sold around 1.5 million copies around the world to date.

The musical duo attempted to keep their identity secret when their first album was released in 1993, but it was leaked to the press.

They followed up their debut album with Rushes in 1998.

One of the tracks from the new album will be released as a limited edition download to supporters of the Adopt-A-Minefield campaign.

Each song was written by Sir Paul and recorded in the space of one day.
