Following the end of his contract with EMI, Starr signed on with Polydor Records worldwide (Atlantic Records handling US distribution). Starr again stuck to his proven formula of having friends write songs and perform on the recordings. This time, Eric Clapton took part, in addition to his old friend Harry Nilsson, and Peter Frampton, Melissa Manchester, Dr. John, and former Beatles John Lennon, Paul McCartney and George Harrison. Sessions began in April at Sunset Sound Recorders in Los Angeles, and eventually moved on June 12 to Cherokee Recording Studios. Starr was joined at this session by Lennon and his wife Yoko Ono, recording the Lennon-penned \u003cspan style=\"font-style: italic ;\"\u003eCookin' (In the Kitchen of Love).\u003c\/span\u003e Lennon played the piano lines that are heard at the beginning of the song, in what was his only known studio recording during his five years of musical retreat that he kept until 1980. McCartney, while on break from his \u003cspan style=\"font-style: italic ;\"\u003eWings Over America\u003c\/span\u003e tour with Wings, made the backing track to \u003cspan style=\"font-style: italic ;\"\u003ePure Gold\u003c\/span\u003e along with his wife Linda McCartney, which McCartney got Starr to sing over, on June 19. Harrison donated a song too, but because of his commitments to get his album \u003cspan style=\"font-style: italic ;\"\u003eThirty Three \u0026amp; 1\/3\u003c\/span\u003e (1976) done on schedule, he was unable to partake in any recording for Ringo's Rotogravure. Harrison's contribution was a song previously known as \u003cspan style=\"font-style: italic ;\"\u003eWhen Every Song Is Sung,\u003c\/span\u003e which he had attempted to record first with Ronnie Spector in 1971, then with Cilla Black (on which Starr also played), and later still with Leon Russell's wife Mary. Eric Clapton played guitar on the track \u003cspan style=\"font-style: italic ;\"\u003eThis Be Called a Song.\u003c\/span\u003e Several unreleased tracks were recorded during the sessions: \u003cspan style=\"font-style: italic ;\"\u003eWhere Are You Going,\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cspan style=\"font-style: italic ;\"\u003eAll Right,\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cspan style=\"font-style: italic ;\"\u003eIt's Hard to Be Lovers\u003c\/span\u003e and a track Starr co-wrote with Nilsson, \u003cspan style=\"font-style: italic ;\"\u003eParty.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Record Vision","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52793590743321,"sku":"SD-18193","price":5.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0992\/6937\/8329\/files\/LP-ringo_starr-ringos_rotogravure-05.jpg?v=1783553318","url":"https:\/\/record-vision.myshopify.com\/products\/sd-18193","provider":"Record Vision","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
