RINGO STARR SOLO CAREER PAPERBACK – ISSUED ON NOVEMBER 10, 2025- BY AARON BADGLEY (AUTHOR)

NEW RINGO BOOK FROM AARON BADGLEY HAS ARRIVED!

About to turn 71 years old and I must admit that I get the same thrill of getting a new Beatles-related book around the holidays that I did when I was significantly younger. My goal as a Beatles fan and as a collector of a significant number of Beatles-themed books is primarily information-based. The litmus test is: does the new title give me some new and credible information that I did not know about or have been exposed to before? Aaron Badgley’s two Beatles themed books that have been released thus far have significantly passed that litmus test in my humble opinion!

Aaron is one of my favorite people that I have encountered on this Beatles blog. He has written an excellent book about George Harrison’s Dark Horse record label and now he has created another interesting book dealing with Ringo Starr’s solo career. The book just arrived, and I will be engaged in exploring the content very soon. Based on my initial perusal, and what I have seen so far, I am already anticipating Aaron’s sequel to this book. Ringo is finally getting the attention he deserves of having been such an integral ingredient & piece of the puzzle in the phenomenal success of the Beatles!

Here, in this book, Aaron explores Ringo’s prolific solo career!

Ruth McCartney wrote the wonderful foreword to the book, and she highlights the importance of Ringo as a drummer but also deals with the elements and personal chemistry that Ringo offers to a band in creating excellent music!

Someone that is stable and someone that you can count on!

The back cover of the book:

So privileged to have received a signed and inscribed copy from the author. Aaron displays that he is a great judge of character and of Beatle blogs in general (wink wink, the blogger says self-servingly)! All kidding aside, I thank you Aaron for your kind words. More importantly, thanks for another quality book about one of our common heroes, the extremely talented Mr. Richard Starkey!

AMAZON DESCRIPTION OF THE BOOK:

“On April 10, 1970, when The Beatles officially called it a day, it was not the end, for Ringo Starr it was just the beginning. He was no longer Beatle Ringo, but now a solo artist who would have to establish himself with his own solo music. During the 1970s, Ringo Starr did just that. He became a commercial success and firmly established himself as a force in music.

Ringo Starr Solo Career: Got to Pay Your Dues explores the work Ringo Starr did to carve out his own name and his own persona. Through films, music, writing, acting, producing, directing, and even designing furniture, Starr kept extremely busy during the 1970s. Included in the book is a detailed account of his label, Ring O’Records.

With Ringo Starr Solo Career: Got to Pay Your Dues, Aaron Badgley takes a deep look into Starr’s artistic endeavours from 1970 to 1980. Through exclusive interviews Badgley tells Ringo Starr’s professional story. His albums, singles and work with other artists are all detailed. The films he produced, directed and appeared in are documented. A discography of Ringo Starr’s solo albums and singles and his Ring O’Records label are included plus exclusive, never before seen photos, illustrate this incredible career during the 1970s.”
