The 4th of July is just a few days away. Whether you're the host of the party or a guest, here is a perfect solution to add a little sparkle to your holiday. A Tropic Spa tan will give you a flawless glow to balance your stars and stripes accessories. While you're enjoying festive cocktails, indulging in some treats and straying from your diet, Tropic Spa can be your healthy "guilty pleasure." In just 12 seconds, a few minutes to dry and a brief touchup you'll be the envy of the party, and you won't need to spend hours in the sun.
The Tropic Spa Home Mist Tanning System is a revolutionary new way to obtain a beautiful and healthy summer glow without the risk of damage caused by being out in the sun or the use of a UV tanning bed.
In a tanning category all its own, here are 5 unique things that set Tropic Spa apart from other sunless tanning products:
1. Easy to assemble, charge for 3-4 hours, adjust the system to hang on the door so the top mister is more or less even with your face, and go!
2. One of the unique features is the built-in electronic timer; each tan delivers an exact amount of tanning solution that covers the entire body in a 12 second application. Overspray is minimal or nonexistent.
3. For the eco-conscious crowd: The system uses steel cans that are 100% recyclable and the gas that is used to pressurize the cans is nitrogen - a high component of the air we breathe everyday. The Tropic Spa tanning solution is supplied in a kit form. The solution is packaged into specially designed cosmetic bladders, then housed into aerosol cans. This bag on valve technology allows 100% pure tanning solution to be dispensed with no cross contamination from propellants or any other material.
4. It's a clear solution so you should allow 4-5 hours for the tan to show and then simply use retouch spray to even out any areas you might have missed or not rubbed in evenly.
5. You can't overtan. By tanning one time every 5-7 days you'll be on your way to a perfect, healthy glow year round.

The 1971 album will be released across a variety of formats with new and exclusive content, including a beautifully packaged Deluxe Edition Box Set - the ultimate collectible
-
Paul says, "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's an album called RAM. It reminds me of my hippie days and the free attitude with which was created. I hope you're going to like it, because I do!"
-
Following the successful recent reissues of McCartney, McCartney II, and this year's Grammy winner for Best Historical Album Band on the Run, RAM is the latest album from Paul's iconic back catalogue to get the deluxe Paul McCartney Archive Collection treatment. As with the previous releases in the series, Paul has personally overseen every aspect of the project and the result is spectacular. In keeping with the reissue campaign to date, the Deluxe Edition Box Set is the ultimate collectable for any fan of this album. Its stunningly presented 112-page book, photo prints, handwritten lyrics and notes, four CDs and a bonus film DVD, tells the full story of a classic album that has gone down in music history as one of the most revered in McCartney's catalogue.
-
RAM, originally released in May of 1971, is the only album to be credited to both Paul and Linda McCartney and was Paul's second post-Beatles LP. It was overshadowed at the time by the drama of the dissolution of The Beatles, as played out in the world's media. The album topped the charts hitting #1 in the UK and #2 in the US. While RAM polarized critics upon its release, music fans and critics alike since have overwhelmingly embraced it, with Rolling Stone, for example, revising their original review up to 4 stars. Recently RAM has enjoyed even further re-appraisal and acknowledgement including a number of tribute albums.
RAM was written by Paul and Linda, mostly at their Scottish farm on the Mull of Kintyre. In the autumn of 1970 they flew to New York to start the recording process. Without a band in place they auditioned and drafted musicians, who included future Wings drummer Denny Seiwell and guitarists David Spinozza and Hugh McCracken.
-
The band completed the album in early 1971 along with non-album tracks 'Another Day' and 'Oh Woman, Oh Why' which were released together as Paul's first post-Beatles single ahead of the release of RAM and became a Top 5 global hit. The multi-disc editions of the RAM reissue include both songs as bonus tracks. The album also gave Paul his first solo US number 1 single with 'Uncle Albert/Admiral Halsey' and a Grammy win for Best Arrangement Accompanying Vocalists.
-
RAM was also issued in mono with alternate mixes, which were only made available to radio stations at the time. This version has gone on to become one of the most sought after McCartney collectables. It will now be commercially available for the first time ever on CD as part of the Deluxe Edition as well as a limited run on vinyl.
-
1977 saw the release of Thrillington, an instrumental interpretation of RAM, which was originally recorded in 1971 at London's Abbey Road Studios and was arranged by Richard Hewson. It was released under the pseudonym Percy 'Thrills' Thrillington, an unknown eccentric socialite who often cropped up in mysterious newspaper classifieds. In reality Percy was a character devised by Paul and Linda. The idea behind it was simply to have some fun and the concept of doing a full orchestral album was an ambition long held by Paul.
-
The additional film content features previously unreleased and exclusive content including the brand-new documentary, "Ramming", narrated by Paul, as well as the original music videos for 'Heart Of The Country' and '3 Legs'. The remastering work was done at Abbey Road using the same team who recently remastered the complete Beatles' catalogue.
-
RAM will be available across a variety of different formats:
· Standard Edition: 1 CD digipak Single disc, digitally remastered 12- track standard edition
· Special Edition: 2 CD digipak Remastered album and 8-track bonus audio CD including rarities, b-sides and the hit single, 'Another Day'.
· Deluxe Edition Box Set: 4 CD/1 DVD box set & download Remastered album, bonus audio CD, remastered Mono album, Thrillington CD, bonus film DVD, 112 page book, 5 prints in vintage style photographic wallet, 8 full size facsimiles of Paul's original handwritten lyric sheets and mini photographic book of outtakes from the original album cover photo shoot.
· Hi-Res: 24bit 96kHz files of the remastered and bonus audio CD, accessed via a download code inserted on a card within the deluxe edition package
· Vinyl: 2LP 180gm, gatefold vinyl with download Remastered album, bonus audio disc plus digital download of all 20 tracks
· Limited Edition Mono Vinyl: 1LP, Remastered mono album
· Digital: RAM will be available for download across a variation of digital configurations including Mastered for iTunes and High Resolution
