Often Ram is spoken of as being Macca’s angry album and certainly there’s a pleasing crispy edge to the material, suggesting that punk was indeed a long time coming (even if, as with Lennon’s “Imagine”, it’s somewhat difficult to accept the otherwise universal emotion of anger from a rich man). It’s also talked of as a home-made album. Often plugging straight into the back of the mixing desk, Paul was less concerned with the smoke and backwards mirror effects of the Beatles Abbey Road exile years. All of which are fair approximations of what went into making Ram. but not the whole picture.

Check out “Too Many People”, the opening track on the newly re-released and re-mastered album and, if you listen in on headphones, the big treat will be the collage-like cut and paste of the finished soundscape. Given how so much of our music is processed to within an inch of implosion these days—even supposedly raw and acoustic, back to basic affairs—there’s an education to be had from listening to how McCartney arranged his channels and elements in 1971.

作為披頭士的成員和創作核心，保羅·麥卡特尼堪稱作曲天才。曾有人評價說是保羅創作旋律的能力和約翰·列儂(John Lennon)的思想造就了披頭士的經典。在披頭士樂隊期間，保羅共參與創作了49首後來在排行榜中名列前十位的歌曲。而後來保羅單飛之後又參與創作了50多首打入排行榜前十名的暢銷歌曲。
