After spending four months in Scotland, and before travelling to New York to begin the recording of “Ram,” Paul and Linda McCartney, together with their daughters Heather and Mary, took a holiday in France, following a short stay with Paul’s family in Liverpool.
From Liverpool, they flew to Nice and spent several days on the French Riviera, before driving to Paris. After a few days in the capital, they continued on to Le Havre, where they boarded the ocean liner S.S. France bound for New York.
We were on holiday in France and thinking about making another album. I’d written a few new songs and we thought that for a change we’d go to New York to record. It’s good place, with a lot of great musicians and would give us a different slant.

Maccazine - Volume 40, Issue 3 - RAM Part 1 - Timeline
This very special RAM special is the first in a series. This is a Timeline for 1970 – 1971 when McCartney started writing and planning RAM in the summer of 1970 and ending with the release of the first Wings album WILD LIFE in December 1971. [...] One thing I noted when exploring the material inside the deluxe RAM remaster is that the book contains many mistakes. A couple of dates are completely inaccurate and the story is far from complete. For this reason, I started to compile a Timeline for the 1970/1971 period filling the gaps and correcting the mistakes. The result is this Maccazine special. As the Timeline was way too long for one special, we decided to do a double issue (issue 3, 2012 and issue 1, 2013).
