plus Ricardo "Corinthian Leather" Montalban as the villain,

and a great plot - what's not to love?

So if you love Trek or sci-fi in general and somehow

never saw this movie, or if it's been so long you've

forgotten enough of the film to see it fresh again, 

go see it TONIGHT at one of LA's oldest theaters, 

The Nuart!

Paul & Linda McCartney’s Legendary Album RAM set for Deluxe Reissue May 22

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

The folks at Slake sent me an email so chock full of goodness, I wanted to share 3 highlights from it.

-

First, about their next issue, Slake says: "It's at the printer now and as soon as it's off the press and in our hands, and yours, we'll let you know where the party is."

Slake 4: Dirt

"This is the cover. You get to say you saw it first. The issue is finalized. It's cooking at the printer and almost ready for your hot, little hands. We're really excited about this issue, which features collage work throughout done by our own Alex Bacon and Anne McCaddon. Have you subscribed yet? You can subscribe right now here. You'll be glad you did, and so will we."

-

Slake continues: "In the meantime, there are other great Slake events to tide you over. Read about them here."

This Saturday

"Join us 11-5 at USC Harris Hall and Watt Hall courtyards for Shelf Life 2, A Big Day For Small Presses, full of DIY publishers and artists. There's also a bazaar of hard-to-find books, magazines and other publications, plus you can come hang out with us at our booth. Anne McCaddon will talk about what it takes to make Slake and contributers Sam Slovick, Melissa Chadburn and others will read from Slake 4, "Dirt." Did we mention it's free? Come see us."

There's always an attractive assortment of activities for Angelenos, if you know who to know... and where to look. We at Wire LA  plan to keep bringing the cool stuff to you as often as we can.  (To borrow the words of Stewart Brand and Steve Jobs, "Stay hungry... stay foolish".................. and stay tuned.) ----Don Rose
