I got you beat. I tripped & fractured my ankle (yes Nancy I went to the hospital), sprained my wrist & got a fat lip on this holiday weekend. ( Just watch out for that last step when you get me my mail... : and don't take the dog out there...she'll pull you over if she sees that cat again!)
OMG I am so sorry you hurt yourself so badly! (glad you took my advice though and went to the ER!) Did you have to have surgery on the ankle or did they just cast it?

Thanks! I just have a temporary cast on it. But I can still enjoy Ram! Ram On!

Thank you Lisa. Nancy is my on line medic. She made me go to the doc. Listening to Ram sure does help...takes me back to another time.

That is good, though I wish it'd charted even higher. But still, it did well by comparison with the McCartney reissue, which came in at No. 88 in the UK last year, and McCartney II didn't even hit the top 100. So far the Band on the Run reissue has charted the highest in the UK -- at No. 17.

What's Rolling Stones problem with Paul? Never understood it!
The magazine's owner, Jann Wenner, was obsessed with John Lennon. Not long ago I read an interview with Greil Marcus, a rock critic and editor who worked for Rolling Stone at one time. And in that interview, Marcus said that at the time of the release of Paul's first solo album, the initial review of the album from the reviewer for Rolling Stone Magazine was positive. Marcus said Wenner thought the review should be changed to a negative tone to reflect Wenner's belief that Paul had broken up the Beatles. Marcus actually admits in this recent interview that he and Wenner spent three hours pressuring the reviewer to change his review of McCartney from a positive to a negative tone. And succeeded. So people who wondered back then if Wenner had it in for Paul? Well it turns out he did. That pretty much says it all.
Missed seeing this the other day when looking this thread, thought I would thank you for putting this up as this explains so much. I always thought the Rolling Stone magazine set didn't like Paul for another reason--much of his music is optimistic and many are of the mindset that art must reflect the suffering of the person who created it. In truth, a better way to handle adversity is to confront it with as much of a positive spirit as one can summon. Although the blame Paul syndrome is what is cited, I think the whole bit of his persona played into it as well, to a lesser degree.

Got it! Made my weekend. I am home with a cold, sore throat. Nothing worse than having that when it's 90 degrees plus outside.
I got you beat. I tripped & fractured my ankle (yes Nancy I went to the hospital), sprained my wrist & got a fat lip on this holiday weekend. ( Just watch out for that last step when you get me my mail... : and don't take the dog out there...she'll pull you over if she sees that cat again!)
glad you're doing better now. My mom hurt her hand pretty bad carrying heavy stuff too.

Did anyone notice this or post about it yet, there was no card with the next in line Re-Issues ...which worries me a little. Maybe no big deal, but I thought it was odd..STILL , this is THE BEST so far...LOVIN' my RAM Box!!!

I can't wait to get this more than any other remaster... Those PR rams in the tubes were really hilarious... Very good PR for this one!! Now if we can just hear some songs off Ram this next tour Well it would be nice!! Back Seat of My Car and Monkberry Moon DELIGHT would be so awesome plus the other new adds would be a dream concert...

yeah, I noticed that too. You didn't get a DL card KO? I did but haven't DL it yet. Does the free year membership extend ours...those of us that already coughed up the money for premium? (and thanks KO)

It seems that the slip was only in the 2CD edition. Nothing new included though, just the remaining three, V&M, WATSOS, and WOA.
