Ringo's Rotogravure

Ringo's Rotogravure is the fifth studio album by the English musician Ringo Starr, released on 17 September 1976. It was the last project to feature active involvement from all four former Beatles before John Lennon's murder in 1980, and the second of two projects following the band's 1970 breakup to hold the distinction (alongside Ringo from 1973). Following the end of his contract with EMI, Starr signed on with Polydor Records worldwide (Atlantic Records handling US distribution). Upon release, Ringo's Rotogravure proved less successful than its two predecessors, reaching number 28 in the US (Starr's final top 40 placement there) and failing to chart in the UK. Its first single, "A Dose of Rock 'n' Roll" reached the top 40 in the US, while the second single, "Hey! Baby", stalled in the lower reaches of the chart. The album's reception signaled the beginning of Starr's commercial decline after a string of hit albums and singles throughout the early 1970s.
