Paul submits his first year-end accounts, covering the years 1970-71, of his new company McCartney Productions Ltd. The figures reveal modest sales figures, accounted to the company, of £3,017, while outgoing expenses run up a bill for £5,417, resulting in a first-year loss to Paul of £2,400. (Of course, Paul’s main source of income at this point is coming through The Beatles’ crumbling Apple empire.)

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).
