Record Store Day April 21st: Tuesday edition


This may come as a surprise to no one that I chose this, but today's edition of what is coming out on Record Store Day is a Paul McCartney release of "Another Day" and "Oh Woman Oh Why"...I've never uttered those words before and nor have I ever heard of this McCartney song. It has a great rhythm guitar opening and continues throughout the song.  Listen to it at the end of this bit.

Here are the details of the release on April 21st,but what is even more exciting to me is its just the beginning...this is just a preview for the re-release of Ram that comes out on May 22nd with a bunch of unreleased tracks and some documentary footage much like when he re-released Band on the Run a few years ago.
