Ringo's Rotogravure is an album by Ringo Starr, released in 1976. Following
the end of his contract with EMI, Starr signed on with Polydor Records (which
once signed a pre-Ringo Beatles as the backing band of Tony Sheridan)
worldwide (Atlantic Records handling US distribution) and was eager to see
his solo success continue on in a new era.
Two years on from 1974's Goodnight Vienna, Starr - armed with new
producer Arif Mardin - again stuck to his tried-and-true formula of having
friends write songs and play on the recordings. This time, Eric Clapton took
part, in addition to Peter Frampton, Melissa Manchester, Dr. John, Paul
McCartney and John Lennon (his last studio session for four years until
Double Fantasy). George Harrison donated a song too, but because of his
commitments to get his album Thirty Three & 1/3 done on schedule, he
couldn't take part in any recording for Ringo's Rotogravure.
Preceded by "A Dose Of Rock 'n' Roll", which reached #26, Ringo's
Rotogravure was released in September to a lukewarm response. Starr's
winning formula was no longer a fresh one, and despite some fine music, the
album performed poorly, only reaching #28 in the US and quickly falling off
the charts, while it never even appeared in the UK listings.The follow up
single, his cover of Bruce Channel's Hey Baby, stalled at #74 in the US. The
reaction made one thing clear to Ringo: he would have to try something
different next time.
A single of "Las Brisas / Cryin'" was appropriately released in Mexico.
