Ringo Solo (or not)!

Between their split in 1970 and Johns murder 10 years later. The media were obsessed with the question, ‘When are the Beatles getting back together?’ Even after the events of December 1980, the question became, ‘Are you going to regroup with Julian taking Johns place? However, as history tells us, John, Paul, George and Ringo did record together. Just not all in the studio at the same time, and not a Beatles reunion. Instead, it was three ex-bandmates helping their drummer record his third solo album ‘Ringo’ in 1973. In this episode we look at the story behind this album which included two hit singles ‘Photograph’ and ‘You’re Sixteen’. And the cast of musicians that help Ringo record his most successful album of the 1970’s.Welcome to episode 39 of Fixing A Hole, The Beatles podcast you didn’t know you needed.If you’re a fan of the podcast, or you like to be a guest on an episode, we’d love to hear from you. Visit our new patreon channel at patreon.com/fixingahole its currently free to join with new and exclusive material being added from January 2026. Please get in touch via:Facebook: Fixing A Hole https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61562724166069Email: [email protected]: fixingahole.transistor.fm
