From the Album Bad Boy. This is a good album, no matter what critics said.
Ringo was not completely satisfied with the production of RINGO THE FOURTH, so, while he was recording SCOUSE THE MOUSE he started working on a new material.
Altough Polydor was still in charge of Ringo's musical production in the UK, Ahmet Ertegun decided to avoid working for Ringo in Atlantic Records (main distributor of Ringo's music throughout the world.). Ertegun recomended Ringo to work with Portrait Records (a CBS subsidiary)

Starr had more freedom to take his own decisions on the way the album was recorded, even his old friend Vini Poncia was asked to produce the album.
The Songs were recorded in Elite Recording Studios (Nassay, Bahamas) and Can-Base Studios (Vancouver, Canada)
During the recording sessions, Ringo composed two jingles- The Simple Life and I Love My Suit- to promote a new line of clothing for the japanese TV.

  • I also thought this album was one of his best . Must have played it a million times ! I could never figure out why the critics were so hard on it .

  • haha...not bad, but I don't know why I feel like is joking when he sings....like in No no song :P

  • Esta buena

  • The whole album is one of his best, and it's a lasting album - sounds fresh today!!!!!

    Every song except for the last is rock, funk and soul - simply great.

    Thank you Ringo for making this!

  • This should of been the first single off "Bad Boy" and then "Heart On My Sleeve" instead of "Lipstick Traces"

    It could of done more for his career I think.
