Deep Dish: RAM (1971) 50th Anniversary Part 1

1970-71 was a prolific period for Beatles solo releases, and so last month we were blessed with yet another 50th anniversary edition of an iconic album: Paul and Linda McCartney's RAM. Tony and T.J. use the occasion to deep dish their favorite solo Paul work. And while they're at it:

• T.J. and Tony reminisce about their old radio days and the technological marvel of audio cartridges
• Tony does his best Magic Alex impression, explaining the technological marvel of half-speed mastering.
• And the guys debate whether "Too Many People" can knock off "Motor of Love" and "Ou Est Le Soleil" for the top spot on the all-time greatest solo Paul charts

As usual, there's a lot of great music to talk about, so this one's going to be a two-parter. And also as usual, there might be a little bit of salty language. Though T.J. insists he's just saying "piece of cake."
