PAUL & LINDA MCCARTNEY - Ram: A concept album about the end of The Beatles?

This week, Tim and Shaun discussed Paul McCartney’s second post-Beatles album, Ram. Topics covered include: the difference between his second album and his first, the idea of Paul retaining The Beatles as musical interlocutors, whether this is Paul’s best album, and whether there’s a proto-glam element in some of the songs. Also, what was number one during Shaun’s birth? What did Paul and Linda use for glue? Who is the better singer: Linda or Yoko? Which song on the album is most like a Samuel Beckett play? What’s the most Ringoesque drum passage on the album and why? How can you explain The Wombles? And our perennial question: to what extent can this be considered a concept album?
