As a child waking
up on Saturday mornings I could count on two things: If my mother got to the
stereo first I would be coaxed out of bed by the operatic voice of Mario Lanzo.
If my brother beat her to it, I would be yanked out of sleep by the sound of
the Beatles. I preferred the lads from Liverpool. All of us did. Even my
sister-in-law's brood were Beatles' fans, including her father who turned me on
to “Mull of Kintyre” -- an obscure tune brimming with bagpipes. The song was
written in tribute to the picturesque Kintyre peninsula in Scotland, where Paul
McCartney has owned a farm since 1966, and to its headland, the Mull of
Kintyre. It was there against the backdrop of sheep lowing in the green fields that
McCartney and his first wife Linda collaborated on the album RAM - which will
be rereleased as part of the deluxe Paul McCartney Archive Collection on May
22.
"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 reminds me of my hippie days and the free
attitude with which it was created. I hope you're going to like it, because I
do," said McCartney, in a report released to the press.
The ultimate
collector's package comes with a standard album or deluxe edition box set with
four CDs, bonus songs, a DVD, a 112-page book, photo prints and handwritten
notes and lyrics. There's also a limited edition mono vinyl set being released.
Price will be somewhere between $69 and $100. If you want an autographed
version, like the one selling on eBay, be prepared to shell out $1,799.
Among the
favorite songs on the standard tracklisting are Too Many People and Uncle Albert/Admiral Halsey. The deluxe edition's second disc
contains seven bonus tracks including Another Day and Hey
Diddle.
McCartney is
currently on tour and expected to greet Detroiters at Comerica Park on July 24.
