Comment: Discs are in very good condition; have a few light marks that will not affect play. Booklet shows light wear. Case shows moderate wear; has worn edges, worn corners and a small tear on the spine of case. Guaranteed to play like new. Fast Shipping. Sorry, no APO/DPO/FPO orders at this time. Ringo Starr, born Richard Starkey, was the drummer in the Beatles from 1962 to 1970 and thus became one of the most famous musicians of the '60s. Though the least prominent member of the quartet, he distinguished himself as an occasional singer of good-natured material and as an actor. Upon the group's split, Starr went solo with two novelty projects: the first, an album called ... Read more in Amazon's Ringo Starr Store Ringo Rama Deluxe Edition is an astonishing CD...but its first version, Ringo Rama, was only released a few months before this, minus two discs. I suspect once they discovered they had a highly marketable CD, they gathered up three more songs, an informative radio interview CD (discussing and playing cuts from the CD) and the DVD of the "Making of Ringo Rama" (also a special short version of "Never Without You", and it's filming). All this is well and good, but those of us who bought the original Ringo Rama feel a bit suckered by this rather tactless marketing move. That being said, this deluxe version is a landmark album for Ringo! What a joy to listen to. Surprisingly reminiscent of past Beatle albums material. Even some background vocals sound nearly identical to Beatles era harmonies. Great stuff! Beatle fans will love this album. Nostalgic? Of course, and with this quality....who can complain about that! Co-producer Mark Hudson outdoes himself on this project! Ringo's vocals and drumming are top form, as well. Guest appearances by Eric Clapton, David Gilmour, Willy Nelson and others only add to the specialness of this CD. This is, frankly, about as close as we're likely to ever get to Beatle's quality music. They weren't one of music histories top acts for nothing. Don't pass up this CD! You're bound to fall under its spell. Tongue-in-cheek humor abounds, as well. No heavy, down-in-the-dumps lyrics or melodies here. Peace and Love, as Ringo sez. The DVD is a hilarious romp showing the making of the CD, featuring Ringo and his band (the Roundheads) and special guests. If Ringo could make more CD's of this quality...any future money woes would be highly unlikely on his part. Quality sells! Ringo and Mark...if you're reading this...no more sucker games on your fans, please! We love you, but next time, don't make your fans pay for your "upgrades". We'll forgive ya just this once.... As a long time Beatles fan, I have always been a bit suspect of the solo Beatle's recordings. They normally don't measure up to the Beatles' records. However, Ringo Rama is a wonderful exception. It is Ringo's best record since 1973's "Ringo". It features his amazing drumming, wonderful songwriting from him, Mark Hudson, and others, well-thought out arrangements, and guest stars galore (Eric Clapton, Willie Nelson, David Gilmour, etc...). Ringos' singing is very strong throughout. There is a wonderful tribute to George ("Never Without You"), his tribute to the Queen ("Elizabeth Reigns"), beautiful ballads ("Love First, Ask Questions Later") country flavored material ("Write One for Me") and other genres. Get this record....if you are a Ringo fan, you WILL NOT be disappointed. As my fellow Beatle-fanatic friend Dave told me, "this is the best album Ringo could ever make".
