"Old Wave" by Ringo Starr – **

First released: 1983

One thing to admire about Ringo is his tenacity. This album wasn’t even officially released in the US or the UK in 1983 and most people (myself included) had to rely on German or Canadian pressings of this album. The album itself isn’t too bad and is not that much of an embarrassment as some of Ringo’s other albums, but it isn’t the great classic either. The CD issue in 1994 was the first official US release although four of the tracks made their US debut on 1989’s "Starr Struck: Best of Ringo Starr Vol. 2". The 1994 CD added the "Original Version" of "As Far As We Can Go" as a bonus track.
