RAM may be considered Paul McCartneys second solo album after the breakup of The Beatles, but it should really be considered his first album as Paul McCartney, the ex-Beatle. RAM was originally released 41 years ago on May 17, 1971 and today is being released as a remastered edition in several different formats.
RAM gave Paul McCartney his first number one US hit single post-Beatles with Uncle Albert/Admiral Halsey. The album also contained the song Too Many People which McCartney admits was a jab at former bandmate John Lennon.
The Deluxe edition contains 4 CDs, 1 DVD, 112-page book, photo prints, handwritten lyrics and notes.
This set includes two additional CDs of the remastered mono version of the original RAM album and the remastered Thrillington album from 1977 which was an instrumental version of RAM produced by Paul, a.k.a. Percy Thrills Thrillington.
The remastered edition of RAM also comes in digital and vinyl formats and already released on 17 May 2012.
