In spite of being all mental over the Beatles, for instance having read all Lewisohn's books and some of them many times - I know next to nothing about Beatles solo albums aside from the Plastic Ono/all Things must pass sort of thing.
So, even if I knew Ram got a rather cold response, it was harsher than I remembered, even from his ex-colleagues side.

@Photocopy - I recommend "Ringo" his 73 solo album. That's a good one :-)

This track is an extra from the 2012 remaster

I like pretty much all the extras from the rereleases.

@6:20 DJ GeorgyGirl: thanks, I love recommendations (as long they're not "cut your hair")

@Photocopy - rest assured, that's one thing this old hippie would NEVER say ;-)

Some of outtakes where he is pretty stoned are kind of hard to listen to.

as a monomaniac, I really have to find the mono version of Ram.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 6:25pm
DJ GeorgyGirl:

@Photocopy - I'll have to see what my vinyl copy is
Avatar 6:26pm
spacebrother:

I liked the version where someone put both versions of "Ram On" together in one long track.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 6:27pm
DJ GeorgyGirl:

~Photocopy - Stereo BUT the Apple logo is whole on both sides which is unusual
Avatar Swag For Life Member 6:28pm
DJ GeorgyGirl:

@Greg - Oh! I've never heard that!
Avatar Swag For Life Member 6:29pm
DJ GeorgyGirl:

Paul's said this many times in interviews as has Ringo) and these jam tracks attest to it, that he just really, REALLY loved being in a band

i sent it as "Ram On - Complete Take."

@Greg - Yes you did! Brain fart!! Lol. I was in a bit of an editing frenzy that day ;-)
Avatar 6:30pm

NP. I do this kind of stuff all the time. I miss REAMS of things.

Your editing is superb, of course.

"It's my house. It's my band. If I want to sit and jam all the day, then I'm going to sit and jam all day." Lol
Avatar Swag For Life Member 6:47pm
DJ GeorgyGirl:

This kind of singing can't be good for the voice, surely?
Avatar 6:48pm
Photocopy Cha Cha 2000:

Yes, that kinda style is pretty taxing on one's voice, examples: Macca, Robert Plant, errm I'd like to say Rod Stewart but when was he not raspy?
Avatar Swag For Life Member 6:49pm
DJ GeorgyGirl:

@Photocopy - It makes me wince a little at times.
Avatar 6:49pm
spacebrother:

Bon Scott/ Brian Johnson listened to this!
Avatar Swag For Life Member 6:49pm
DJ GeorgyGirl:

We have one more track left after this - and it's my favourite :-) For me the closing track on the album is one of the greatest songs ever written :-)
Avatar 6:50pm
spacebrother:

The vocals, I mean.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 6:50pm
DJ GeorgyGirl:

@Greg - God, yes! Lol

Stay tuned after me because ....... You have more Greg with "Stop Hitting Yourself"! Hurrah! :-)

Just how Brian Johnson still has a voice after 50+ years of you-know-what is beyond belief.

I take it Greg recorded on his side and GG recorded on her side and then GG edited this all together? Or is it that GG is on Zoom and Greg is on a mic?
Avatar Swag For Life Member 6:53pm

@MB - Greg's on a mic and I'm on a headset :-)
