That is a great song, it is the first track on the Cold Cuts bootleg. Not sure if the Ram version is the same one that I have, it may very well be.

I literally can not believe I haven't heard it before! What is going on! His vocal is absolutely KILLER!!!!! And the melody is pure macca-style infectious! Why was this not on the main album or even a single?!

I only heard it myself last year and i loved it. You are so right with his vocals and the melody....just a very cool song! It's hard to improve on perfection but Ram would have benefited from the addition of this track!

I'm not sure where it would have fitted in....I'm a big fan of Monkberry Moon Delight but I think A Love For You has the same kind of power to it so they could have been switched and the flow of the album would have been pretty much the same. Personally I'd either stick it right before Ram On reprise OR take Ram On reprise out completely and have A Love For You in its place. I'm going to listen to it again. WHERE HAS THIS SONG BEEN ALL MY LIFE?!?!?!?!?!

Could have just added it without taking any of them out. But Ram On reprise would be my choice if you had too. Same!

For those wondering what this promotion is all about:
For those who doesn't knwo this: It is Paul himself who pos this news under the name Trillington...he got a page on Facebook and yesterday he post a map full with the London Underground that he was gonna RAMMED. Here more infos: To celebrate the release of the re-issue of Paul and Linda McCartney's 1971 album 'RAM', Paul McCartney has today renamed a number of London Underground stations. Many unsuspecting commuters were cheered upon being greeted with a ram and renamed station, be it Eweston, Rammersmith, Baaabican, Tottenram Court Road or Sheepherd's Bush. Cryptically, Paul McCartney tweeted a 'Ewe Tube' map yesterda...y evening pointing out stations that were going to be rammed. Speaking about the re-issue, Paul McCartney comments: "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!"

You know our Paulie--he never knows what is good or what will be a hit. That's why he never released MIA as a single!!

Love it!!
I'm not typically someone who condones theft of public property but I would find it awfully difficult not to walk off with one of those Ram's.
I heard they bite and poop if you pick them up.

I love love love love this quote about the album. I love it when Paul talks about when he was a hippie. I love it so much. Hippie Paul is my favorite Paul. and my album isn't here yet and already me and one BF is fighting over it. I got my e-mail. It'll get here on Wed. My BF said, "I'm borrowing it." "After I"m done for a while." "WEll, just loan me the first disc then. " "After I'm done with it." "Come on. YOu got to let me borrow it." "After I'm done with it." I'm hiding it when I get it for a while.

You are fortunate, not many outside of the Mother country got it today. I checked the tracking and mine should have arrive tomorrow. There is an Amazon distribution site 20 miles from here but I never know if it is coming from there or from the one out of state. Fortunately, this one is from naerby.

When I'm trying to extract the .zip files from the folder I downloaded, it can't extract the last 6 songs or so, because the path or path name is too long? Does anyone know how to solve this? Also, does anyone know why the mono version and Thrillington is not part of the digital download email? Maybe it should be downloaded through the main site with the code..
-
Okay, it does work when I download it from the official site.
-
still nowhere to download mono version or Thrillington though..
