FROM RINGO'S SHORT-LIVED OWN LABEL (1975 - 1978)
RING O'RECORDS RELEASES ARE HARD TO FIND ESPECIALLY WITH THEIR ORIGINAL SLEEVES!!
On April 4, 1975 Starr founded his own record label called Ring O'Records, telling Circus magazine he thought "the record company thing is going to be a gas". The only thing he didn't like about it was "the contract signing thing. If I had my way, everyone would be tied to my company by word of mouth but the solicitors won't have it." The first album to be produced for the label was a re-make of the Ringo album, rearranged for synthesiser by David Hentschel.[68]
In total, four albums were released on the label between 1975 and 1978 (Startling Music by David Hentschel, Graham Bonnet by Graham Bonnet, Restless by Rab Noakes and a re-release of an Apple Records album, The Whale by John Tavener) as well as 16 singles by artists that include Bobby Keys, Graham Bonnet, Johnny Warman, Rab Noakes and Dirk & Stig.
The company wound up failing because Ringo didn't like the "going to meetings" aspect of things, saying "you'd usually have meetings to decide about the next meeting". The other problem was – while he thought the company had some good artists – the records weren't selling, therefore it was costing him money. It was for those reasons he had to wind up the company. --WIKIPEDIA
