Revisiting RAM. Engineer Eirik Wangberg On The Making of RAM: "His Spirit Was Free"
This episode revisits my interview with RAM engineer, Eirik "The Norwegian" Wangberg, the engineer that spent two months alone in a studio with Paul and Linda McCartney during the making of RAM.
Due to these circumstances, Wangberg was able to observe the McCartneys at a time when they were quite insular, so it was a treat to speak to the charming Norwegian.
According to Wangberg, McCartney "was in a tough, tough situation. But he did it marvelously...His spirit was totally free."
Wangberg wore many hats in the album's creation, ultimately sequencing and mixing the album.
