Both my parents served in the United States Marine Corps during WW II. They were married after the war while they were both stationed in Washington D.C. On the day they were to be married there was a parade in D.C. honoring Admiral William "Bull" Halsey. Due to streets being closed because of the parade route, they nearly didn't make it to the church they were to be married in at the time the ceremony was scheduled. Afterward they always referred to the date of their wedding anniversary as "Bull Halsey Day".

Nice Job on this one GT. To me, this track in particular has that Beatles feel to it both musically and production wise. Took a little of the sting out of the breakup as the quality of Ram was just that much better than McCartney one. Probably still my favorite PM solo record. There’s a great video out there of Denny Seiwell playing along with the track. Such a laid back interesting drum track during the body of the song. I loaned Denny my 1940’s Gretsch WMP Broadcasters back in the 90’s so that he could play a set of Ram songs with my bandmates at the time. It was great to actually see him play this material in a live setting.

By the time _Ram_ was released, Northern Songs had been bought out by ATV Music, under the control of Sir Lew Grade. So it was actually ATV that brought suit against Paul for Linda's share of the copyrights. Part of the settlement was that Paul provide a TV show featuring his music to Lew Grade. This turned into the 1973 _James Paul McCartney_ TV special (which featured _Uncle Albert/Admiral Halsey_ as well as Beatle songs owned by ATV). And it was shown in the UK on ITV, which had links to ATV.

OK I was already to correct you, but it seems I've been hearing the lyric "had to have a berth" incorrectly all these decades. I always heard it as "had to have a bath". But but but... it makes WAY more sense as "bath" because the real Admiral Halsey suffered from a debilitating skin disease that cause him to miss the Battle of Midway. He was hospitalized and one of his treatments was "oatmeal-water baths". His condition finally cleared up so he was able to "get to sea". I feel like my whole life has been a lie.

Just looked at this video about McCartney's Ram album (one of my personal favorites). I appreciate your #2 reference regarding David Spinozza. David is a phenomenal guitarist that doesn't get the recognition he deserves. However, with respect to McCartney's "Uncle Albert / Admiral Halsey," I think you'll find that most of the guitar work was done by one of David's contemporary studio guitar players and friend, Hugh McCracken, another exceptional musician that played on hundreds of famous recordings.

I have thought long and hard about my favorite Beatles songs. In the end, I could not come up with one Beatles tune that I preferred over all the rest. For the individual Beatles, however, I found it much easier. For Sir Paul, this song is, of all he had recorded, my hands down favorite. I like nearly everything he had made, of course, but this one I have to put down as my number one. My criteria for making this determination is kinda weird. I thought about which songs, if they came on the radio in the car just as I was about to park and get out, would I hesitate and stay inside until it was over. Most songs from most performers I could turn off. After all, I will hear it another time, especially because I subscribe to satellite radio (and they have a dedicated Beatles channel). But, Uncle Albert/Admiral Halsey is one that I would stay and listen to until the end. This has actually happened many times.

Here's an 11th fact you didn't know. Just after the verse "we'll be sure to give a ring" you hear a telephone ring tone. After the last ring tone there was a voice effect put on for "we're so sorry, uncle Albert, but we haven't done a bloody thing all day" Well......the engineer put that effect on a bit early. The last 2 telephone rings have a different sound. McCartney heard it and liked it. It stayed on the record.
@the_guitar_trooper6 ай бұрын
Yeah I have seen that account, but I couldn’t cooborate it. In my view, it was too plausible that the high pass effect is deliberately punched in at that point after hearing the raw voice. It sounds to me like a typical Macaa schtick. But the omission of that account was a personal choice of mine - there is no evidence that the high pass filter application timing was NOT an accident.
@Selectrolux26 күн бұрын
Adding that voice effect was a nice transition to make both the vocalized "drrrt-drrrt" and the "ca-chunker" sound [when the receiver was picked up] seem like a real analog telephone call being made on the recording.

2nd attempt to comment. My husband was a lifelong Beatle maniac and finally got to see Paul McCartney in 1993 at the very first concert at the Alamo Dome in San Antonio. He was left with literally bad taste in his mouth because one beer was $8.00, the only food was Linda McCartney's vegetarian food and we had to sit through a 20 minute Greenpeace film. Entertain, don't lecture. At least he got to see at least one of the Beatles. As for me, I never paid too much attention to the Beatles and I thought the song was a Beatles song off of Sargent Pepper. 🤷

Thanks, good list. A few more interesting facts: #11 Although the composition was stitched together by McCartney from disparate ideas, surprisingly the recording wasn't stitched together. They practiced the whole thing in the studio until until they got the transitions right and recorded it in one continuous take #12 The flugelhorn solo was not originally planned. Paul decided on this during the studio recording and made up the idea on the spot. He hummed roughly what he wanted to Marvin Stamm. Stamm tried it and "I went on until he liked it". Stamm was quite impressed by McCartney. # 13 Although George Martin, back in England, wrote out the orchestral score for this and other Ram tracks, ideas for it were (not untypically) prescribed by McCartney. Drummer Denny Seiwell was asked if he thought Paul needed someone like George Martin, and he replied, "No, I really don't," explaining that Paul had specified how he wanted the different instruments to be voiced and had very clear requirements. *"He* [Paul] made those records sound the way they sound, along with the help of George."

@the_guitar_trooper oh ok. I thought he might’ve been on one of the tracks that literally had everyone on them ... Rockestra Theme or So Glad to See You Here.

This thing about stitching bits of unfinished songs together was a feature of later Beatle's work by McC and, for me, was always irritating much as the results were popular. Just give me a finished song, a vignette, a musical story rather than sweepings from the floor glued together.

Thanks for the view!! And I heartily agree!! I don’t for a minute think that the lyrics would have made any difference in the success of that track. It’s all in the production and melody.
