From the liner notes:
“This is WORK, woman! This is WORK!!!!” And, so it is. But it is FUN work at least, and it is a distinct pleasure to offer up the 1971 classic (and my personal favorite) ‘Ram’ as the next title in the Ultimate Archive Collection. Okay, so the immediate question is how is this different from Paul’s own Archive release? Well, I managed to get the audio onto three tightly packed CDs, rather than on four CDs that barely use up half of their storage capacity. I did make the editorial decision to not include a few tracks from the official Archive set, as I felt they would much better fit in on ‘Wild Life’. So, if you’re looking for Little Woman Love, The Great Cock And Seagull Race, or the live versions of Eat At Home and Smile Away, you’ll have to wait patiently (though I’m quite sure that I’ll have my ‘Wild Life’ out long before Paul has HIS! )
So what DID I include then? Well, let’s start with the basics: each disc has it’s own theme. Disc one has the main album with bonuses, disc two has the mono album with bonuses and disc three has Thrillington with bonuses. Simple enough. So what are the bonuses then? Obviously there’s everything from the official Archive (barring the tracks mentioned above). There’s also (YAY!) extremely clean needledrops of the mono promo Another Day / Oh Woman, Oh Why 45 (thanks again, Charlie), along with the superb RMW ‘drop of the Brung To Ewe By record. How superb is it? Far BETTER than what Paul wound up using as menu music on the DVD that came with the Archive set, that’s how! For some strange reason, on that DVD, Paul & Co. used a noisy needledrop of the record rather than going back to the original tape, which he presumably still has. Anyway, RMW’s sounds better, so I’ve incorporated it here…
Also of note are the five instrumental tracks of songs from the sessions, including a freshly mixed to stereo version of Monkberry Moon Delight, which was available to mix (in mono only) for a little while on Paul’s own site. I’ve taken the individual tracks and mixed them to stereo. You can hear the results on this set. I’ve included both released versions (standard and promo edit) of the ‘In Laws’ version of A Love For You, along with the Cold Cuts version, slightly re-eqed to match the rest of the tracks here. Finally, I’ve included for fun (and ’cause I had just enough space) a re-edit of Ram On that uses both sections, edited together. There’s a slight change in ambiance at the switch that couldn’t be avoided as the two sections are mixed slightly differently. For the coup de grace, I tacked on the last couple of seconds of the mono mix, which is slightly longer, to make this the most complete version currently available.
Whew!For those who may have been expecting ‘Off The Ground’ and/or ‘Up Close’, based on things I’ve asked for, please note that from time to time, I might ask for items (be it tracks, artwork, or what have you) as I plan out the long range releases – I’m always thinking of the next several titles that are coming out. Please don’t EXPECT any particular album to come next, they will come in the order they do, hopefully without rhyme or reason! Anyway, if you’re able to curb your disappointment in not getting ‘Off The Ground’ (or, apparently ‘The Family Way’ ), and try to enjoy THIS set, maybe we’ll all be a lot happier. One final note, for those of you who enjoy the artwork as well – especially the disc labels – I have to say that these three labels are the most satisfying one’s I have made so far. Just as a Beatles recordcollecting geek, it was oh so gratifying to put together my own release on the Apple label! Okay, without
further ado, here is the latest release, the twelfth in the series thus far (the “Dirty Dozen”, so to speak), ‘Ram’!NOTES:
