Believe it or not, Let it Be was not the last Beatles album. Although not credited to `The Beatles`, Ringo’s self-titled 1973 album was the last album on which ALL FOUR BEATLES APPEAR, whether  individually or in some combinations. This is by far the single greatest Ringo Starr recording and the only one that can really measure up to the other classic solo works by John, Paul and George and/or all four. And you are not going to believe the list of other Rock stars that play on this album. The list reads like Noah`s Ark of Rock`n`Roll. I mean, practically the only Rock star missing is Elvis, and he’d probably just left the building when this was recorded.

Steve Cropper  (of Booker T. & The MG’s) -  Guitar, Guitar (Electric)

·                               CONDITION:

·                               RECORD

(IMPORTANT NOTE: unless otherwise noted, ALL records are graded visually, and NOT play-graded!; we  grade records under the strong, diffuse room light or discrete sunlight)

(a)          THE ALBUM IS STILL FACTORY SEALED AND IS BELIEVED TO BE PERFECTLY MINT. Please note: sealed items are assumed to be mint and are sold as-is, as we have no way of inspecting them. For our policy on still sealed records ►click here (PLEASE READ BEFORE PLACING A BID)

(b)          The album comes with its original booklet.

(c)           The record is believed to come in its original, custom, inner sleeve, which is UNIQUE to this album.

(d)          The record is apparently pressed on a beautiful, thick, inflexible vinyl, which was usually used for the first or very early pressings. Usually, the sound on such thick vinyl pressings is full-bodied, vivid, and even dramatic. Do not expect to obtain such a majestic analog sound from a digital recording!

(e)           Of course, this is a full-bodied ANALOG recording, and not an inferior, digital recording!!!
