Paul McCartney’s 1971 album, RAM, is set to be reissued in a beautifully packaged Deluxe Edition Box Set – the ultimate collectable.
As with the reissue of McCartney and McCartney II, Paul McCartney has personally overseen every aspect of the deluxe project. The box set will feature a 112-page book, photo prints, handwritten lyrics and notes, four CDs, and a bonus film DVD which tells the full story of the album.
"Ladies and gentlemen, this is an album from a long, long time ago, when the world was different. This is an album that is part of my history – it goes back to the wee hills of Scotland where it was formed. It’s an album called RAM. It reminds me of my hippie days and the free attitude with which was created. I hope you’re going to like it, because I do!" Paul McCartney, 2012
