PAUL MCCARTNEY RENAMES RAMMED LONDON UNDERGROUND STATIONS

Monday, 21 May 2012

Written by Jon Stickler

To celebrate the release of the re-issue of Paul and Linda McCartney's 1971 album 'RAM', Paul McCartney has today renamed a number of London Underground stations. 
Many unsuspecting commuters were cheered upon being greeted with a ram and renamed station, be it Eweston, Rammersmith, Baaabican, Tottenram Court Road or Sheepherd's Bush. Cryptically, Paul McCartney tweeted a 'Ewe Tube' map yesterday evening pointing out stations that were going to be rammed.

Speaking about the re-issue, Paul McCartney comments: "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!"

As with the previous releases in the series, Paul has personally overseen every aspect of the project and the result is spectacular. The standard release track-listing is confirmed as:

1. Too Many People
2. 3 Legs
3. Ram On
4. Dear Boy

8. Monkberry Moon Delight
9. Eat At Home
10. Long Haired Lady
11. Ram On
