Blast From Your Past

It was the 4 of them, all 4 of them that made the magic of the Beatles. There are some great songs on this solo album: "Photograph" and "It Don't Come Easy" being my favorites. Also "I am the Greatest" is fun, written by John Lennon. Others: "You're 16," "No No Song," "Back Off Boogaloo," "Only You," and "Oh My My." I have seen this album issued on red Apple label that appears to be at least 180 grams. I was hoping that was what I purchased. Instead I got a green label Capitol release. It is thin vinyl with a small warp that causes some fizz and a thumping sound when the cartridge crosses the warp. Mainly you hear these distortions between songs, but, they can be heard also at quieter parts of songs like the beginning and ending of songs. At least there are no loud pops or a huge warp that I have found on LP's of lower quality than Capital. Capital is usually a better quality label, even when using thin vinyl. Get the 180gr+ vinyl if you can.

From 1971 to 1975, Ringo Starr cut a string of seven consecutive Top 10 records, including back-to-back number ones in 1973, and they're all right here!Led by the twin front-runners, "Photograph" and "You're Sixteen", this collection is Ringo at his post-Beatles height. Don't get into a discussion of which of his song's is the best; you'll be in for an argument. Despite the top placement of the two previously mentioned hits, many people will vote for "The No No Song", others for "Oh My My" or "Only You", and still others for my personal favorite "It Don't Come Easy", the first of the solo chart busters.It really doesn't matter which anyone thinks is best; they're all great. The album itself was released on the Apple/Parlophone label, which makes it sort of a musical historical curiosity. The mastering is excellent and the sound crystal clear.Ringo's solo success only lasted a brief four years in the early 70s, but it doesn't matter. Thirty years later, these songs still rock the house. This album is truly a "Blast from the Past!" Don't miss it.

Got this back in the early nineties. I was working at a record store called Camelot Music and they gave their employees pretty good discounts back then. I was already a huge Beatles fan and this was my first solo Ringo CD purchase (i had previously owned a vinyl copy of his 1973 album 'Ringo'. didn't like that one as much) Best songs are : It Don't Come Easy, No No Song,Only You, I'm the Greatest, Back of Boogaloo, Beaucoups the Blues (the country album Ringo released with this song is also worth checking out), and Early 1970. yep, that's about the whole album. I know there is now a newer more updated Greatest Hits package for Ringo,but, i am not trading in my copy of "Blast From Your Past" anytime soon.

Sir Ringo blast from your past take this ride and you will enjoy every song and thanks to Amazon quick delivery

Thanks for a great title to add to my collection

Alot of these tracks on this record are very popular when it comes to Ringo and the 70's. Great songs for anyone who is wanting to get to know Ringo's music, esp on vinyl. No scratches or skips on this one and for a very good price. I would also recomend the album "Photograph: The Very Best of Ringo", beacuse the tracks on this album are also included on that album and alot more great hits. Good choice.

Highly recommended cd for all Fab Four fans!

This is the greatest hits from Ringo after the Beatles broke up, and there are some great cuts on this effort. "It Don't Come Easy", "Your Sixteen, Your Beautiful, and Your Mine", and "The No-No Song" are some of the cuts offered here. Add this to your collection if you enjoy Blasts from Your Past.

I never really got into the beatles much however I got this for my wife who had a copy years ago and she loves it. To be honest I like it too, tunes I'd forgotten about from the past like "Your Sixteen" and "Back off boogaloo" still sound great.

Nice bit of nostalgia nice one!

It was a gift for my husband and he loved it. He plans to have it framed and put up in his music room next to his drum set. It was also here in half the time that was stated.

These are the best songs from Ringo Starr, nice and easy to listen to.If you like uncomplicated music, this is it.Enjoy it.

このCDを買った事を友に言ったらリンゴスターってCD出しているの？へぇ〜って驚いたように言っていてそれはさて置き私はビートルズのメンバーの重要な１人（リンゴ）のソロ作品を聞いてみたかったのでこのCDを買いました。ジョージハリスンも参加している曲もあるので良いと思いました。価値が付く事が予想されるCDであると思われますので是非リンゴのCDを聞いてみたい人はこのCDを買って聴いて見て下さい。
