Another interesting book due to hit the marketplace soon from Canadian author, Aaron Badgley. He examines Ringo Starr’s solo career from 1970-1980. Aaron’s first Beatles-related book dealt with the story of George Harrison’s Dark Horse label. Aaron is a very busy guy as he is also currently working on a Klaatu biography. Klaatu was a Canadian-based band who many radio stations thought represented a shadow or clandestine Beatles reunion in the 1970s. It was not, of course, but the story and the band are fascinating.
Ruth McCartney wrote the foreword to the Ringo Starr book. I look forward to reviewing this title in the very near future! Stay tuned...
Love the handlebar moustache cover, Aaron!!! Ringo of late, is finally getting the recognition he always deserved!

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.

Thanks for sharing! I really enjoyed Aaron’s book about Dark Horse Records and was privileged to talk to him about our respective Dark Horse Records collections (I smiled when Aaron said he was impressed that I had the recently released Dark Horse Records Jon Lord vinyls). I will definitely have Aaron’s new book on my wish list!
