Paul McCartney RamPaul and Linda McCartney's "RAM"
21st May 2012
RAM,
originally released in May of 1971, is the only album to be credited to both
Paul and Linda McCartney and was Paul's second post-Beatles LP.
RAM was written by Paul and Linda, mostly at their Scottish farm on the Mull
of Kintyre. In the autumn of 1970 they flew to New York to start the recording
process. Without a band in place they auditioned and drafted musicians, who
included future Wings drummer Denny Seiwell and guitarists David Spinozza and
Hugh McCracken.
The band completed the album in early 1971 along
with non-album tracks 'Another Day' and 'Oh Woman, Oh Why' which were released
together as Paul's first post-Beatles single ahead of the release of RAM and
became a Top 5 global hit. The multi-disc editions of the RAM reissue include
both songs as bonus tracks. The album also gave Paul his first post-Beatles
US number 1 single with 'Uncle Albert/Admiral Halsey' and a Grammy win for Best
Arrangement Accompanying Vocalists.
RAM was also issued in mono with alternate mixes,
which were only made available to radio stations at the time. This version has
gone on to become one of the most sought after McCartney collectables. It will
now be commercially available for the first time ever on CD as part of the Deluxe
Edition as well as a limited run on vinyl.
1977 saw the release of Thrillington, an instrumental
interpretation of RAM, which was originally recorded in 1971 at London's Abbey
Road Studios and was arranged by Richard Hewson. It was released under the pseudonym
Percy 'Thrills' Thrillington, an unknown eccentric socialite who often cropped
up in mysterious newspaper classifieds. In reality Percy was a character devised
by Paul and Linda. The idea behind it was simply to have some fun and the concept
of doing a full orchestral album was an ambition long held by Paul.
The additional film content features previously
unreleased and exclusive content including the brand-new documentary, "Ramming"
narrated by Paul, as well as the original music videos for "Heart Of The
Country" and "3 Legs".
The remastering work was done at Abbey Road using
the same team who recently remastered the complete Beatles' catalogue.

John Lasseter, Chief Creative Officer, Walt Disney

I tip my hat to the artists of Yellow Submarine, whose revolutionary work helped
pave the way for the fantastically diverse world of animation that we all enjoy
today."
Bonus features for the Yellow Submarine DVD and Blu-ray include a short making-of
documentary titled "Mod Odyssey" (TRT: 7:30), the film's original
