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 HARRIGANБ

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 budget FAME series, which had a black Parlophone label, followed by a yellow label edition later that year. Both editions had a barcode on the back cover and long digital matrix numbers, plus some other design differences. The second version had much fewer copies.

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 50th anniversary of the album in 2022, the release was again reissued in slow motion with a lacquer cutter and a catalog number Capitol Records/MPL/UMe 00602435611730.

Приблизно після 1976 року альбом було перевидано з незначною зміною у дизайні: на етикетках напис An Apple Record / An EMI Recording змінився на EMI Records Ltd.
Також із видання зник жовтий внутрішній пакет. Його замінили на стандартний білий пакет компанії EMI.
При цьому, матричні номери на збігу доріжок залишилися незмінними.
Змінився дизайн корінця. Він став рівним без "защипів" з боків.

Пізніше у 1984 році вийшло перевидання у складі бюджетної серії FAME, яке мало чорну етикетку Parlophone, а згодом в цьому ж році вийшло видання з жовтою етикеткою. Обидва видання мали штрихкод на обкладинці та довгі цифрові матричні номери плюс деякі інші відмінності у дизайні. Другий варіант мав набагато менше копій.

У 2018 році видання повторили на подвійному альбомі у складі серії "Paul McCartney Archive Collection" під каталожним номером UMe/MPL/Capitol Records 00603567720850.

До 50-річчя альбому 2022 року видання знову було перевидано з уповільненою швидкістю нарізки лакового диску вже з каталожним номером Capitol Records/MPL/UMe 00602435611730.
