About Ram [4CD/1DVD Deluxe Book Box Set]

Ram (stylised as RAM) is a studio album by Paul McCartney and Linda McCartney, released in May 1971 on Apple Records. It was recorded in New York with guitarists David Spinozza and Hugh McCracken, and future Wings drummer Denny Seiwell. The release coincided with a period of bitter acrimony between McCartney and his former bandmate John Lennon, who perceived verbal slights in the lyrics to songs such as "Too Many People", and followed McCartney's legal action in the United Kingdom's High Court to dissolve the Beatles' partnership. On release, Ram was poorly received by music critics, although the album has since been recognised for anticipating the indie pop genre. Commercially, it topped the national albums charts in the UK, the Netherlands and Canada. Three singles were issued: "Uncle Albert/Admiral Halsey", which was McCartney's first number 1 hit in America as a solo artist, "The Back Seat of My Car" and "Eat at Home". An expanded edition of Ram was issued in 2012.  more »
