"Ram",like Sir Paul's predecessor,his post-Beatle debut "McCartney",was salvaged by rock critics upon its 1971 release,but listening to it now,its a engaging,quirky collection of tunes containing such classics as the angry "Too Many People",the nostalgic "The Back Seat Of My Car",the Beach Boys-like "Smile Away",and the catchy #1 "Uncle Albert/Admiral Halsey".This 1993 remastered import sounds very good,,sounding warmer and richer with the annoying tape hiss eliminated for good. I A/B'ed with the domestic Capital CD and to my ears its no contest-this is the version of "Ram" to hear. It also benefits from having the hit "Another Day" and its blues-rockin B-side "Oh Woman,Oh Why" as bonus tracks. While it may not be essential,"Ram"(Bonus Tracks)is definitly worth a listen and a purchase.
