Memorabilia:
ReplyDeleteRingo is the third studio album by English musician Ringo Starr, released in 1973 on Apple Records. The album is noted for the participation of all four former Beatles, and for its numerous guest stars, something which would become a signature for Starr on many of his subsequent albums and tours.
Ringo peaked at number seven on the UK Albums Chart, number two on the US Billboard 200, and topped the Canada RPM national albums chart. It has been certified platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA).
Release:
According to a report in Billboard magazine in late September 1973, Ringo's release was delayed while work was being completed on the album artwork. Apple/Capitol Records released Ringo on 2 November in the US, and on 9 November by Apple/EMI in the UK.
The original cassette tape and 8-track versions of the album, as well as a small number of early promotional copies of the vinyl album, contained a longer version of "Six O'Clock". All of the stock copies of vinyl version of the LP, including both the original pressing and the 1981 LP re-release of the album, as well as reissues in various other formats over time, contained the shorter version of the song.
The record label on the original stock pressing of the vinyl album incorrectly lists the running time of "Six O'Clock" as 5:26, which may have led some to mistakenly assume that the original pressing contained the long version of the song.
The label on the reissued vinyl album correctly lists the running time as 4:06. At the time of release, various reviews and press articles of the day stated that the longer version was "snuck" onto the tape duplicating masters at the last moment; this may have been done for the benefit of 8-track versions of the album, to make program two of the tape (on which the song appeared) the same approximate length as the other tracks.
Artwork for a quadrophonic version was produced, but was never released. Additionally, the original artwork lists the second song, written by Randy Newman, as "Hold On" which was later corrected to "Have You Seen My Baby" in following pressings.
When Ringo was reissued on compact disc, the album included three bonus tracks: Starr's 1971 hit single "It Don't Come Easy" and its B-side "Early 1970", as well as the B-side to "Photograph", "Down and Out". The CD was released in the UK on 4 March 1991, and in the US by Capitol on 6 May.
On some CD reissues "Down And Out" is inserted into the album as the fourth track (between "Photograph" and "Sunshine Life For Me (Sail Away Raymond)").
On the US CD, "You and Me (Babe)" begins crossfaded over the end of "Devil Woman," even though the original album, and the UK CD, had these songs separated by silence.
Strangely, the longer version of "Six O'Clock" was not added as a bonus track to the reissue of this album, but instead appeared on the reissue of Goodnight Vienna.
