(Monday, February 22, 1971; during sessions for Ram) — Fresh from his Feb. 19, 1971, appearance in a London courtroom to seek dissolution of the band’s contractual partnership, former Beatle Paul McCartney today tracked “Ram On” and “Ram On (Reprise)” at A&R Studios in New York City, during sessions for Ram, his second solo album.

In March-April 1971, “Ram On” received additional overdubs and both tracks were mixed at Sound Recorders Studio in Los Angeles for release (officially with his wife, Linda) on May 17, 1971.
