| | Ringo Starr Extended Versions CD Ringo Starr Discography of CDs
 (3 Customer Reviews)
Shortly after the release of Ringorama, the cheapo Extended Versions slipped in under the radar, almost unnoticed. It's an accumulation of ten selections from the All-Starr Band's 2001 concert in Chicago -- out of running order, with no notes, no credits beyond perfunctory mentions of Sheila E., Greg Lake, Ian Hunter, and Howard Jones, wrong song titles, abruptly edited, short in weight (just under 42 minutes). And yet Ringo and Beatles collectors will want this shabby little package because it actually fills in some gaps that the main CD release of the 2001 tour on Razor-and-Tie, as well as the DVD, leave blank. Lake's numbers were the most substantial guest contributions in the whole show, and this is the only place where one can hear the dead-on-accurate recreation of Emerson, Lake & Palmer's arena hit "Karn Evil 9." Ringo's rendition of "It Don't Come Easy" was on the DVD, but it appears for the first time on CD here. Hunter's ballad "Irene Wilde" (inaccurately listed as "I Still Love Rock 'n' Roll") and Jones' ska-flavored "Everlasting Love" also show up for the first time. Perhaps the most valuable unreleased performance is Sheila E's "A Love Bizarre," in which Ringo is featured in what may have been his first drum solo since "The End" on Abbey Road eons ago. The other five tracks, "Yellow Submarine," "Act Naturally," "Photograph," "With a Little Help > From My Friends," and a shortened version of Sheila E.'s "Glamorous Life" (isn't this album called Extended Versions!) have been out before. ~ Richard S. Ginell
Personnel includes: Ringo Starr (vocals); Roger Hodgson, Shelia E, Ian Hunter, Greg Lake, Howard Jones.
Extended Versions Music Review Average Rating: (3.7 out of 5 stars)   Great performances, slightly below-par sound
There are some real nice surprises on this budget album, including Greg Lake's rendition of Karn Evil 9 First Impression part 2 with Howard Jones on keyboard (I saw this band in concert and this performance is better than the one I saw). The sound quality is a bit on the hollow side, almost like an audience recording, which is the one drawback. Well worth the price, though.

Was This Review Helpful? Yes No  Ringo's leftovers
In 2001, Ringo Starr rolled out another edition of his All Star Band just in time for the summer touring season. It was a rocking unit whose show had highlights later released on the excellent Ringo Starr and his new All Star Band CD & DVD.
Of course, that CD was a single CD and because of the time restrictions of a single CD certain songs in the show had to be cut. This second CD brings some of the originally deleted songs from that show to CD for the first time along with about half of the contents of this CD being repeats that were included in the first CD. If you saw the tour live then perhaps seeking out this CD is worth your while. Beware however, the sound quality is not quite what it could be as it has a bit of echo. Playing the overlapping songs from the first CD side by side with this CD makes the quality difference obvious. It is also VERY hard to find. If you want it I would suggest you grab it fast as I doubt it will be around long.

Then there were two. With George Harrison's passing in November 2001, Ringo Starr and Paul McCartney were the only surviving members of the Beatles. Thankfully, Starr chose to press on in a creative manner rather than exiling himself in grief. The result is RINGO RAMA, the second album the Fab Four drummer has worked on with uber-producer Mark Hudson following 1998's VERTICAL MAN. From the outset, Starr weaves the past with the future, making allusions to "It ...

Ringo Starr began touring with his ever-changing All-Starr Band in 1989, and the concept has helped to revitalize not only the ex-Beatle's career but those of the famous players with which he surrounds himself, performing both Starr's hits and those of his bandmates. Initially, he worked with artists whose greatest fame came in the '60s and '70s. However, by 2003, '80s nostalgia was on the menu, and Colin Hay (Men at Work), Paul Carrack (Squeeze, Mike & the Mechanics), John Waite (The Babys, Bad English), ...

Before David Gilmour virtually "became" Pink Floyd he was always the most likely member of the band (with the possible exception of de-facto leader Roger Waters) to release a solo album. 1978's welcome eponymous debut showcased his multi-faceted performing talents.
The album opener "Mihalis" is an ANIMALS period instrumental, which, along with "Raise My Rent," sounds like an outtake from that album. The beautiful "There's No Way Out of Here" begins with a lonely harmonica and, with "No Way" and "I Can't Breathe Anymore," expounds the album's main theme of being trapped in an untenable situation. "Cry From the Streets" is a nod to the blues, while the lovely "So Far Away" harks back to the ballads of OBSCURED BY CLOUDS. ...
