It’s All Down to Goodnight Vienna by Ringo Starr – ****

First released: 1974

The title track from Ringo’s fairly successful "Goodnight Vienna" album, written by John Lennon. It is one of my favorite Ringo songs and pretty much my favorite Beatles songs of all time. There are actually three versions of this song. The first is the album opener. The song, bearing the legend “reprise” appears at the end of the album. A third version, now considerably rarer, and not available on CD until 2007’s "Photograph" compilation is the 45 single version that was released in 1975. This version tacked the reprise onto the opening version creating a “new” version.
