Principally recorded at Sunset Sound, Los Angeles, California and Apple Studios, London, England between February, 1970 and September, 1973. Originally released on Apple (3413). Includes liner notes by Staffan Olander.
RINGO, the Fab Four skin-pounder's third solo album, is widely regarded as his finest, due to the happy synchronicity of good songs, good production, and a first-class batch of musicians all coming together in a thoughtful but organic manner. For one thing, George Harrison and "fifth Beatle" Billy Preston are all over this album, as are superdrummer Jim Keltner (Ringo's not too egotistical to share the drum throne) and most of The Band.
Ringo also gets considerable compositional assists from his old mates; Harrison co-wrote the impossibly infectious (and somewhat Badfinger-esque) "Photograph," among others, and Lennon contributes the album's opener, the brash, ironic "I'm the Greatest." Ringo's personable, unassuming vocal style makes a perfect match for Randy Newman's early classic "Have You Seen My Baby." Aided by the popwise but Ringo-friendly production of Richard Perry, our boy makes a convincing case for his way with '50s-style material on "You're Sixteen." "You're Sixteen," "Oh My My," and "Photograph" were all Top 10 hits, which made RINGO the commercial apex of the drummer's solo career.

Ringo Music Review
Average Rating: (4.8 out of 5 stars)   List All 9 Reviews Early Ringo at his finest
This is Ringo at his finest. From a few soft ballads to harder rock. Even a song about his old bandmates. It's amazing that no power on earth would re-unite the band, but he had contributions from John, George, and Paul, on this album. There touch can be heard on the individual tracks they helped on. A very good effort.

Ringo`s best
This is by far the best album by Ringo. With a little help from his friends, with contributions from John,Paul,George,Marc Bolan, Billy Preston, Harry Nilsson plus all The Band members and many more!!
A lot of strong tracks: the two singles from the album 'Photograph' and 'You`re Sixteen' most people know, but take the time to listen to the others and you will enjoy them. The track 'I`m the greatest' also has the nearest we came to a Beatles reunion, with John, George and Ringo all performing. Bonus tracks as well, make this very good value. Highly recommended.

This surprisingly great album from Ringo Starr is among the very best Beatles solo albums. It's good fun, it's not preachy and it's got a lot of great guest stars (including John, Paul & George). The album sounds like a 70's version of a cross between "Sgt. Pepper" and the white album. Ringo's singing, though hardly sensational, is at least decent. Highlights are too many to list. The whole album is a highlight. Features 3 hit singles!!! Four actually, since "It Don't Come Easy" is added as one of the bonus tracks.

Was This Review Helpful? Yes No Pure Pop
Never mind John's Imagine, Paul's Band on the Run, and George's All Things Must Pass, if it's pre pop you want "Ringo" takes over from where the Beatles left off in about 1965. "You're Sixteen" is worth the entry price, it's wonderful. Delivery was quick too!
