All By Myself by Ringo Starr - ***

First released: 1974

This is yet another bouncy tune from Ringo’s "Goodnight Vienna" album and another personal favorite. I particularly like the “Herb Alpert” middle section. Lennon plays guitar in the background, as well.

I’m so glad for CDs. When I bought it new on vinyl in the late 70s or early 80s, the song had a built-in skip at the two-minute mark. I was too lazy to exchange the vinyl and so when I started listening to it on CD, I was still expecting this skip.
