TEXT FROM SLEEVE, BACK SIDE:

When Paul and Linda McCartney were in New York recording 'RAM' they needed a drummer so they found a sweaty old basement in the West 40's and invited some drummers to play on a battered old drum kit. One of those who turned up and went straight for his torn toms was Denny Seiwell, a tall type with eight generations of drummers in his family, who played well and left the drum kit throbbing. After that, Paul, Linda and Denny played together on 'RAM' and then each took off for a holiday.

The Macs returned to Britain and during the time following wrote a bunch of songs at their country retreat.

When the time came to go recording again they rang Denny Laine, a Birmingham lad, and asked him if he was coming out to play. Replying in the affirmative he brought his faithful guitar, and he and the Macs, along with Denny S. (who had arrived from the States as if by magic carrying his wife who was drunk again) and his drums, proceeded.

They rehearsed for a while, sang some old songs, wrote some new ones and in time headed for the big city studios.

In three days they had laid down most of the tracks and by the end of a couple of weeks the album was finished.

In this wrapper is the music they made. Can you dig it?


CLINT HARRIGAN

Sometime after 1976, the album was reissued with a minor design change: on the labels text changed from An Apple Record / An EMI Recording to EMI Records Ltd.
he yellow inner sleeve also disappeared from the publication. It was replaced of EMI's standard inner sleeve.
The spine design has changed. It became smooth without pinches on the sides.
At the same time, the matrix numbers on the dead wax remained the same.

Later in 1984, a reissue was released as part of the simplified FAME series, which had the black Parlophone label and other design differences.

In 2018, the release was repeated on a double album as part of the 'Paul McCartney Archive Collection' series on catalog number UMe/MPL/Capitol Records 00603567720850.

For the album's 50th anniversary in 2022, it was reissued again with the catalog number Capitol Records/MPL/UMe 00602435611730.

Примерно после 1976 года альбом был переиздан с незначительным изменением в дизайне: на этикетках надпись An Apple Record / An EMI Recording сменилась на EMI Records Ltd.
Также из издания исчез жёлтый внутренний пакет. Его заменили на стандартный пакет компании EMI.
При этом, матричные номера на сбеге дорожек остались прежними.
Изменился дизайн корешка. Он стал ровным без "защипов" по бокам.

Позже в 1984 году вышло переиздание в составе упрощённой серии FAME, которое имело чёрную этикетку Parlophone и другие отличия в дизайне.

В 2018 году издание повторили на двойном альбоме в составе серии Paul McCartney Archive Collection под каталожным номером UMe/MPL/Capitol Records 00603567720850.
