Ringo Starr/Complete Promo Clip Collection

After the Beatles broke up, the first member to reach number one on the Billboard charts was George's "My Sweet Lord." The next was Ringo's "I Can't Stop Thinking." The 1970s began with an unexpected turn of events, with George before John and Paul, and Ringo following suit. It may have been natural for the two, who were oppressed by the talents of the two greats, to release their own solo albums and singles early on, but it is noteworthy that they both started their solo careers with a good start. That shows how effective the former Beatles' name was. This work covers the promotional videos of Ringo Starr's solo years, following those of Paul, John, and George. Starting from 1970, the related videos are covered in chronological order, including different versions, different edits, and TV spots, performances on TV shows, and promos with guest appearances. In 1970, the title song promo was produced from the first album, "Sentimental Journey." Since this album itself is a cover album of American standard numbers, the Stars and Stripes and the Union Jack are displayed side by side behind Ringo singing on a dinner show-like stage. The stage is very luxurious with an orchestra and dancers, and a photo of Pap, which was also used in the jacket photo, is projected on the screen in the background. Above all, Ringo's appearance is the same as that of the Get Back sessions, although his hair is shorter. Then in 1971, Ringo's biggest hit and representative song, "Tomorrow's Wishes," which is always performed at live shows, is performed. In addition to the three versions, this album also includes a multi-view that allows you to compare each version at the same time. The concept of version 1 is Ringo playing happily in the forest and mysterious landscapes, and various ornaments and props appear, which seems to overlap with George's hobbies at the same time. Versions 2 and 3 capture Ringo singing while playing the piano on a snowy mountain in winter. The shots of versions 2 and 3 are slightly different. The 1972 release includes two versions of "Back Off Boogaloo" and outtakes from the filming. Ringo, with a long beard, strolls through a garden with Frankenstein. Scenes of skeletons dancing and a brief appearance of King Kong are included, and the occult elements are depicted with plenty of humor. The 1973 release is a promo for "Photograph of Memories," one of Ringo's few hits that is also indispensable at live performances. At this point, the image of the Beatles era is completely gone, and it is completely Ringo's solo era. The video shows Ringo meeting various animals in a large garden. In the middle, there are incomprehensible images of the audience at some stadium and David Bowie in his Ziggy days. The 1974 release is "Only You," which was a gift from John. Ringo is dressed in the same costume as on the cover of the album "Goodnight Vienna," and a UFO is flying, which is also on the cover. In 1976, the album "Ringo's Rotgravia" was released. Ringo's solo career, which had started brilliantly, began to struggle in terms of sales around this time. This is probably why he shifted his focus to live performances from the 1990s onwards. No promotional video was made for the first single, "Rock Is the Best Medicine for Love," and this album includes two versions of "Hey Baby" and "You Don't Know Me at All," as well as "I Still Love You." In "You Don't Know Me at All," Ringo surprisingly shows off his shaved head. In 1977, "Wings: Ringo IV" was released. The first track, "Downing in the Sea of ​​Love," is an up-tempo masterpiece. In the 1980s, Ringo would suffer from alcoholism, and this promotional video shows him drinking whiskey with relish, which reminds fans of that. In 1978, a promotional video was made for the album "Bad Boy." There are two versions of "Tonight." The video included in this upgrade is particularly vivid and has a quality that makes it seem as if it was made recently. "Your're Sixteen" was included in the 1973 album "Ringo," but it is included in this album because this promo video was made in that era. Version 2 is elaborately made with animation. Now, let's enter the 1980s. "Smell of the Roses" was released in 1981. "Wrack My Brain" is a song provided by George. Two different versions of the promo are included in this album. This promo shows Ringo exploring a horror house-like attraction in a theme park, which is also thought to be George's hobby. Then in 1982, a promo for "Private Property" was produced from the same album. This is a song provided by Paul. Paul also participated in the bass, and indeed the bass sound is mixed loudly. This album also did not sell well, and "Old Wave" released in 1983 was not even released in the United States or the United Kingdom. To be honest, Ringo went into a slump after the 1980s. He didn't release any new albums for a long time, he was in financial difficulty, and Paul stopped him from selling his rights to the Beatles. However, after such an unfortunate time, Ringo made a comeback to the music scene by forming the All-Star Band. As the name suggests, the All-Star Band is a tour where all the stars of the past come together under Ringo as the leader, and the members other than Ringo are constantly changing (Yusaku Matsumura called it "the second string of the Traveling Wilburys"...). At the concerts, you can enjoy not only Ringo's songs but also those of various other artists, sung by him himself, and it has become Ringo's life work that continues to this day. And Ringo & the All-Star Band has released many live albums. The promo "Wish for Tomorrow" produced in 1990 was also made from a performance on that live stage. This work includes two different edited versions. Although the record company was reluctant to release it due to sales, the success of this all-star band allowed Ringo to make a new album again. His first new album in nine years was Time Takes Time, released in 1992. This album includes two versions of the promo for "Weight of the World." Ringo is seen singing with such joy, with a backdrop that resembles the Ballroom Dancing scene from the movie Broad Street. Another promo for "Don't Go Where the Road Don't Go" is also included from the same album. This was filmed during a break in the Ringo Band's tour, and rehearsal footage was also used. Ringo released another album in the 1990s, Vertical Man: Ringo's Return. This was his first new album in seven years, after his previous album, which was released nine years ago. "La De Da" was produced as a promo for this album. This album includes three versions of the promo video. Ringo was young up until then, but after this promo, he looks more like him now. During this time, Ringo was touring with his All Starr Band. The promo produced in 2001 includes two songs that are Ringo's ultimate weapon, "Yellow Submarine" and "With A Little Help From My Friends", with stage footage from the All Starr Band. You can also see Barbara, who is still beautiful even with her age. Ringo only released four albums in the 80s and 90s. However, in contrast to his lack of work, he released new albums one after another in the 2000s. These were done in parallel with the All Starr Band tour. First, in 2003, he released an album called "Ringorama". From this album, a promo for "Never Without You" was produced. The promo is a look back at the Beatles era, with footage from the 1964 Ed Sullivan Show and other performances scattered throughout, effectively using black and white footage, and featuring old-style vocal microphones, creating a sentimental feel. In 2005, he released "Choose Love." A promo for "Fading In Fading Out" was made from the album. Two versions are included in this album. In 2007, he released "Memories of Liverpool," his first album from EMI in 34 years. The title track was released as a single, and a promo video for the album was also made. As the title suggests, in addition to the nostalgic melody, a boy who seems to be Ringo as a boy appears. In addition, footage from the Beatles era is plentiful, making it a wonderful song that conveys Ringo's feelings for Liverpool, his roots. In 2012, he released an album called "Ringo 2012." Two promo videos were made for this album. One of them is "Wings," but it has nothing to do with Paul's band. The promo, which imitates a puppet show, is an elaborate mix of animation and live action, and is heartwarming and well representative of Ringo's personality. The other song is a cover of Buddy Holly's "Think It Over." Ringo, dressed in a 50s-style outfit that is intentionally conscious of the atmosphere of oldies, appears as both drummer and vocalist. Ringo once compiled private postcards he received from other members of the Beatles into a book and published it in 2004 as "Postcards from the Boys." Whether he was aware of this or not, Ringo's latest album at the moment is "Postcards from Paradise," released in 2015. The promo for this title song is included in this album. Ringo's vocals are mid-tempo and effected, and the lyrics include the title of their old song "P.S. I Love You," which is repeated as if listening to a spell. It's quite an addictive song. [ORIGINAL TV SPOT] At the time of the album's release, it was heavily promoted on TV with commercials. First, two album commercials for the album "Goodnight Vienna" are included. The narrator is none other than John Lennon. Also included are TV spots for "Vertical Man" and "Chuse Love". [TV SHOWS] Three rare TV shows featuring Ringo are included here. First is footage of his performance with Cilla Black in 1971. The two sing with a snowman between them. Next is a 1975 TV show where he sings "No No Song" with the Smothers Brothers. It's miming, but it's rare to see Ringo, who always looks grumpy, singing so happily like this. The last show is the Parkinson show from 1981. Ringo is young, and so is Michael Parkinson. Ringo is playing the drums. The song is "Si" which was also performed in the Get Back sessions.The last video is a promo video of songs that Ringo participated in with other artists during his solo career. Of course, Ringo himself also appears in it. For example, Elton John appears in Marc Bolan's "Children Of The Revolution," which shows the breadth of Ringo's connections. Speaking of Ringo, this is the time when he had long hair like a strange caveman. He played drums for Ron Wood and others on the New Barbarians' "VBuried Alive." Footage from the making of "Sun City" in 1985 and Back Owens' "Act Naturally" in 1989 is also included. [COMPLETE PROMO CLIP COLLECTION] Ringo's solo career peaked in the 1970s, when sales were sluggish and he went through a long slump, and he also spent time on alcoholism treatment, so there are not many works compared to the length of his career. For the past 20 years or so, he has focused on activities with all-star bands rather than on album production. However, it goes without saying that when talking about Ringo as a musician, his studio works are the basis. This album is a comprehensive collection of promotional footage, including promotional footage of Ringo after the breakup of The Beatles, performances on television appearances, and television spots.
