“Ram On” has no processing on the ukulele. On “3 Legs,” there is a stray note that is mixed out during “fly flies in…”, a tighter edit at “you know it’s not allowed,” and the background vocals are mixed lower. On “ Too Many People” the mono mix has mixed-down backing vocals, less processing and a longer fade out. It comes packaged in a single cardboard glossy paper sleeve with an insert with the track listing on the inside.Īccording to the book Eight Arms To Hold You, there are differences between the mono and stereo on almost each track. Despite that it has the good Scorpio mastering job sounding very natural and warm. To give the benefit of the doubt to the label, virgin copies may be almost impossible to find, but it sounds as if no attempt was made to clean up the recording. There is noticeable surface noise however. The latest release on Rock Archives is a straight transfer of the mono. Ebbett could of mastered this version from the ‘Manural Apple’ disc but I highly doubt it (there’s a lower tracking error during “Smile Away” on this version than the “Manural Apple’ disc).” I also want to mention that it is possible that Dr. Ebbett disc than the ‘Manural Apple’ disc, but this could just be a result of the Equalizing. This noise is a little more noticeable on the Dr. We all know that the vinyl Capitol Records used during this period was not the quietest, and as such every mono LP has a small amount of audible background noise.

The Alternate Ram (Pear Records PDP-020) was released in 2004 with the transfer of the mono and the promo spots. The same year saw the release of R am Mono Mix (Manural Apple MAS 3375) with “Now Hear This Song Of Mine.” This release received some criticism for separating each of the tracks. This release contains both the LP in mono and the promotional LP “Brung To Ewe By” (released at the time of Ram, this contains fifteen radio spot ads and Paul singing “Now Hear This Song Of Mine” to be used by the station as intros for the tracks). In 2000 Roaring Mouse released Ram In Mono(DPRO-79970).

When the Paul McCartney album was released in stereo on May, 1971, the mono LP was pressed primarily for promotional purposes for airplay on AM radio stations. Ram on Rock Archives is another needle drop of a mono mix released by the Scorpio label and is a worthy choice.
