The passive aggressiveness in this is potent.

I sincerely hope Paul has listened to this

[thoughtfulpug]

You will be shocked how close the world has gotten to a Beatles reunion. John, George, & Ringo, all jamming out playing Paul's new solo material. Incredible.

My dad worked with a mate of Neil's for a short while in the late 70s and was told this tape existed, i didn't believe him, I feel a fool now.

[macca]

I would pay to see Paul’s reaction to this

"Too many people I know it is about me"
John Lennon

[nigel]

Incredible, only a very knowledgeable fan could do this. 10/10

[nunyafunyuns]

If someone told me this existed I wouldn't have believed them.

[curtb]

What a shame that publicly they claimed to think so little of Paul's solo efforts.
Good to know that in private they were fans like us!

[roachdoggjr]

I cried. This feels like the family I don't have. A family of people who love music.

[tiestenbosch]

All three of them totally killed the Ram album by Paul in public, but they know it by heart... It almost killed Paul's career. But the Ram album remains a brilliant album that stood the test of time more than any other post Beatle album by any of the four...

[tdelrio]

Crazy they know all the words... they obviously loved the album. Good stuff

[kingofthesnakes]

I forgot how much i loved the ram album. This has made me want to listen to it again.

[TheMaceman]

I am speechless - but I think this artifact is worth a lot of Money...that said, I enjoyed every minute of it...Thank You, StevieRiks!

“RAM”, the originally misunderstood album masterpiece that was way ahead of its time and set the highest bar for all other Beatles as individuals and for Paul himself. In fact, its mastery was never matched, as much as all four continued to produce fine work.

The article shared hereunder is smart and musically sensible enough to give “RAM” the musical justice it deserves. Here’s a mere extract but do access the full content in the link further below. It constitutes a precious and well deserved tribute to a marvelous feat as revolutionary as “Abbey Road” or “Sgt. Pepper”.

“…. That attention to the guitar tones points to the larger beauty of Ram: the whole thing just sounds amazing, with a warmth and clarity rarely heard outside of jazz and classical recordings at that time. There is no mush, no desperate layered glue to cover flaws – everything is heard, and everything counts in these arrangements. The orchestral arrangements are, like those in The Beatles’ best work, integral to the instrumentation, rather than grafted on. “The Back Seat of My Car” is gloriously and goofily grandiose, with one of the biggest sounds I am aware of on record in the period, but it never seems to quite get away from itself…. Ram is highly relevant to these art forms, it simply didn’t show much interest in political culture as understood by the rock press of the time…. I think that just about any musician would be thrilled to have created something so beautiful and compelling….”

7:24 "Making love is wrong"
John: Making love is great, you know? Make love not war

[TurtleManOfficial]

Despite all ego problems, both were great friends and love each other.

[radagastdk]

wow - this is pure gold. I had no idea this existed!
Brings a whole new perspective to the afterlfie of Beatles and that the relationship might not has been as bad as the media has painted it.
So utterly cool and love-embracing
