"Photograph: The Very Best of Ringo" by Ringo Starr – ****

First released: 2007

The definitive collection of Ringo’s solo material. Though I have some misgivings about the choices made post-Apple, the Apple years are finally represented more accurately than the incomplete "Blast From Your Past". This collection removes the need for that album as well. Also, "Goodnight Vienna" is the combined single version appearing on CD for the first time and the "Act Naturally" duet with Buck Owens marks its first appearance on a Ringo album.

The bonus DVD on the two-disc version contains videos for Ringo’s Capitol/Apple recordings only, which is a shame as he made a lot of videos that have not been seen since they were made or never seen.
