The Album That Reunited The Beatles | The Story of "Ringo" | Classic Albums

[@MsTimothyswan]

After more than 50 years, this album still holds up extremely well. This is the closest that we got to an authentic Beatles reunion back in 1973. The fact that all members of the Fab Four brought their incredible talent to this masterpiece helps to make it a must-have in any music fans' library of timeless music.

[@marccarter1350]

Ringo was the biggest selling beatle after they broke up. I have to Disagree, its shocking

[@bigneiltoo]

@@marccarter1350 Ringo was the biggest as of this album release but I think Paul McCartney and Wings were bigger in the mid 70s.

[@marccarter1350]

@@bigneiltoo Yeah, right after the brreak up he was the biggest selling for a while.

[@bigneiltoo]

@@marccarter1350 Lennon didn't have a #1 until Elton John helped him in 1974 with Whatever Gets You Through the Night. Ringo was #2 to the album Goodbye Yellow Brick Road in 1973.

[@robertbefumo8189]

This album deserves a deluxe anniversary box set. It's a genuine masterpiece.

[@jayjensen6280]

Still one of my all time favorite albums. Photograph still chokes me up a bit and makes me miss George.

[@gerrycoogan6544]

What a wonderful year 1973 was for those of us who were Beatles fans. George's "Living In The Material World" album, John's "Mind Games", Paul's "Red Rose Speedway" and "Band On The Run" albums, as well as his "Live And Let Die" and "Helen Wheels" singles, while the legendary Red and Blue Beatles complilation albums were also released that year. The "Ringo" LP was the icing on the cake. Ringo's best album featured superb contributions from every former Beatle as well as many of their great friends and esteemed colleagues. Great days!

[@P.Galore]

My Mother loved The Beatles. Photograph was one of her favorite solo tunes. At her funeral in 1983, we used "Photograph" as the centerpiece of the music she loved

[@charlesivey100]

After hearing Photograph for the first time, on the local radio station, almost 51 years ago, I bought this album and wore it out. I still have it, but I listen to the cd or on KZbin these days.

[@hombre1965]

I did the same. Love that album and cover

[@DavidDykes-dm9lc]

I loved It Don't Come Easy from the 1st time I heard it ❤

[@fredkruse9444]

I swear on my first listen, the DJ on WNCI in Columbus, Ohio introduced it as a new song by "Ringo Starr and the Beatles." In those days, it took another day or two to discover it wasn't quite true.

[@johnnymarinarasauce]

@@DavidDykes-dm9lc it don’t come easy was not on the original album. It was on the cd release I believe.

[@barryprofessionalmusicianc832]

I always considered "RINGO" lp a "last" Beatles album. Being a huge Beatles fan for years, I knew alot of the info in your video, nonetheless I found the it very informative and interesting! Thanks for that! I once was lucky enough to visit a huge Beatles collectors house in New Jersey in the early 70s and he showed us a promo copy of the Ringo lp with the McCartney backed track "Six O'clock" track with a big ZIG ZAG cut thru out the whole track making it impossible to play. This was because of the way McCartney and Linda "jam" out on the "I don't treat you like I should" part which wasn't made public until it came out on a bootleg. They record companies didn't want to "push" McCartney, just Ringo. Thanks for the great work. Barry NYC

[@ImLeuff]

Ringo was the kind of man who, when he asks for help, everyone jumps to his aid. Says a lot really. "Oh I get by, with a little help from my friends" ❤

[@debracisneroshhp2827]

Great video! Ringo was my fav Beatle as a teenager. One of my favorite songs of his is "Whispering Trees" off Sentimental Journey__"...and everyone will know, because you told the blabbering trees...". 😹🌱🌿🌻🐝🌳 💖🙌😺

[@davidcrincones8948]

I took Photograph as a love song to his memories of the Beatles. I'm sure Ringo loved and so much missed the Beatles after the breakup. Says so much about the friendship with his ex-mates.

[@captainsatellite2112]

I read a story about Joe Walsh's band the James Gang. The drummer said, "I was really into Buddy Rich, until I heard Ringo."

[@dabreu]

For me, it is the best album by a Beatle solo. And it is sounds and looks like a true album, just like The Beatles album. It even has an wonderful end. And a fantastic cover . And Klaus Voorman 's drawings.

[@LaHemeroteca]

great video brother!

[@mikeberg5003]

Bought this album the week it came out and I still have my original copy. As good as any other solo album by the Beatles

[@SSGLew]

This album, IMHO, is the best of all The Beatles' solo efforts - complete from start to finish.

[@rocoe9019]

The beatles solo stuff suckes! Every one of them, John being the absolute worst

[@weathermansam2]

@@rocoe9019 What a weird opinion. Not bashing or anything, I've just never heard anyone who thought this way. Is this genuinely what you think? Like, you like the stuff they made as a band but you don't like a single thing that any of them did afterwards? Imagine? Maybe I'm Amazed? My Sweet Lord? Photograph? How interesting.

[@royferguson2297]

All Things Must Pass was the best solo Album.

[@lowenbad]

Without a doubt

[@whodidit99]

Band on the Run is my favorite

[@gazzap6776]

Great work. Thanks. Gaz (Melbourne/Australia). May I suggest you do a clip on John Lennon's 'Rock'n' Roll album from 1975. As you would know, it has a very intersteing back story. Cheers

Oh My My....Ringo..the best of all The Fab Four solo albums..and that Don't Come Easy....

[@marcelyanez9045]

Thank you so much for the unbiased review of this sound album by Ringo - and his Fab Friends. Peaceandlove.

[@TrudyTrew]

One of the best Beatles solo albums. A great pop album.

[@bigneiltoo]

I was a Beatlemaniac in 1988 when they came out on CD, getting all 16. I went on to collect all the solo artist albums on CD (some of which weren't released until 1993). This Ringo Album is one of the best of the 100+ Beatle-related albums (along with All Things Must Pass (1970), Band on the Run (1973), and Mind Games (1973)).

[@wolfgangschafer8592]

I bought the album straight away and was thrilled. Until today! I'm just wondering why this top-class album hasn't been remixed and remastered to this day, when otherwise almost everything possible is re-released in lavish, rather useless boxes.

[@cheddarcheese7928]

Never knew Ringo co-wrote Photograph!.My whole life I thought it was an oldie redone

[@jackwalker4744]

There should have been a deluxe version released in 2023 (DUH!). And BTW, EIGHT ARMS TO HOLD YOU mentions an outtake from the sessions called "Piccadilly." Has anyone ever heard this song?

[@debbiemcnamara7059]

I love Ringo! It is great LP

[@marguskiis7711]

Beaucoup of Blues, one of best Ringo's albums ever, was NOT blues album and did NOT contain any covers. All were originals.

[@tombrehony6277]

Seriously underrated album

[@thierryjulien572]

Agreed with you

[@DRSINC]

The question is: When will we ever see a remixed and Dolby Atmos mix of “Ringo” box set??? Not to forget the other albums as well… “Come on Ringo”. It’s not that you can’t afford it. Let alone not being sold well… You DO have the following…

[@rayhouse-cz8fb]

I was really hoping he would have done that for its 50 anniversary. There’s still time, and I’d preorder it the second it was allowed.

George was the major drive for Ringo's solo career success. They were always in the backseat of the Beatles and when they were on their own, George did not let his old back seat pal down ...

Ringo is a concept by which we measure our....pain

[@sentimentalbloke185]

It was the contractual & legal issues that prevented a Beatles reunion in the early 1970s, too much was going on in the dissolution of their partnership, the fight with Allen Klein, frozen royalties, how to deal with a 'new' album in a legal sense, etc. The goodwill & desire was there although there was an indifference to playing live again. It's a shame as their respective solo work shows they could've reunited & used that material for 2 or 3 brilliant albums.

[@MarkArnold-ue6ok]

Great album, members of The Band on Sunshine life for me ❤

[@JustineLaLoba]

Back Off Boogaloo is pure Bolan................

[@familydogg1234]

At the time there were rumours of rumours that The Beatles were getting back together. They did! But only on this album - but not more than 2 in the same room. I saw Ringo at the Beacon Theatre NYC and he played " Im the Greatest". He told the audience that John was in the studio ( paraphrasing here) coaxing him sing the lyrics. Thank you. Whats the story about " what do you do with a drunken sailor?" faded lyrics on the single of " You're16". Lets not forget the non - LP flipside " Down and Out" ( in the Beatles books they dont list the musicians! Oh no! Ive stumped Beatle scholars!!! I remember hearing about the longer version of " Six OClock" on the cassette during the early 80s.BTW an update- during " Down and Out" Ringo mentions" Gary" ( Brooker)- but who else is on the song??

Ringo is still my favorite, and criminally underrated in part due to the overshadowing of the other beat bros.

Beaucoups of Blues was not a blues covers LP. It was a country LP consisting of songs written for Ringo by Nashville songwriters/musicians. Btw it’s well worth checking out.

Recorded in Nashville with the great Pete Drake and Nashville sessions musicians. It's a great album.

[@dggydddy59]

One interesting little factoid for you. The artist you mentioned who was responsible for the cover, as well as several other well known album covers from those days, Tim Bruckner, drew himself sitting next to John and Yoko, drawing the cover. Tim was a friend of mine in Los Angeles and is a real Renaissance man, a gifted artist, illustrator, sculptor, songwriter, musician, etc. A fascinating guy who could literally do anything. Cheers!

Wow, I never knew the album Ringo reunited The Beatles. I mean, I knew it was a little impossible for The Beatles to reunite temporarily after their break-up in 1970. So much so that they almost reunited in 1975-1976 on SNL. Can you believe that?

[@Mench951]

It was only Paul and John that considered going over to SNL - not the rest of the Fab Four. Paul happened to be over at John's apartment watching SNL and they considered it briefly and then decided not to. Would've been cool if they had.

[@fabiangabrielroman9476]

@Mench951 Oh, now I get it. But anyway, could you imagine what it would've been like if John and Paul had accepted the offer to perform on SNL? If it would had happened, then SNL would have uploaded it on the show's KZbin channel. Don't you think?

[@thevoid99]

@@fabiangabrielroman9476 oh immediately. it's good to know that john and paul were cool w/ one another in john's last years. i'd like to believe that in an alternate timeline if john hadn't died. he and paul would reunite on top of the pops in late 1980 but the beatles wouldn't reunite... until live aid as it would be this big surprise. it would start w/ john singing "imagine" on a piano. just as the song ends, john does a little piano bit as paul sits in and sings "let it be". john would harmonize and then step out of the chair as he grabs a guitar. when billy preston's organ comes in. the full sound would appear as fans would lose it. the beatles would do a 30-minute set of their old classics but also a solo song from each beatle.
