About

From puremccartney.com – PAUL, A&R STUDIOS, NEW YORK. RECORDING ‘RAM’, 1970

As a maybe crazy (but great) idea for promotional purposes, Paul recorded the Now Hear This Song Of Mine spots after his work on Ram. Tell me about your role on this production.

Right, yes, this is a one-sided limited album (only 500 copies were pressed) to promote Ram. The thing was that Paul told me the radio stations could use some musical cuts to introduce RAM to the market, such as radio spots. To record and produce ’em, he kind of said to me:“Eirik, I’ll play you a couple of tunes on the piano and then Linda and I will sit down in the studio, and you can ask us some questions, anything you want”.

After we get it done, he just said: “Now, take all these elements and and do what you feel like with them”! I was stunned. So I mixed it all up, cut the tracks here and there, added sounds of real rams, rain storms and other bits. It was really a lot of fun doing it!. Having all done, I played the results for Paul, and he just loved!
