Goodnight Vienna by Ringo Starr – ****

First released: 1974

There are a number of versions of this song. The main album opener is a fine Lennon composition for Ringo. Ringo also reprised this at the end of the album. When it was time to issue a single for the song, the two versions were edited together. This hybrid version was finally issued onto CD on Ringo’s "Photograph" compilation in 2007. There’s also a demo version by John Lennon released on 1998’s "The John Lennon Anthology".
