Ringo's Rotogravure is an album by Ringo Starr, released in 1976. Following

the end of his contract with EMI, Starr signed on with Polydor Records (which

once signed a pre-Ringo Beatles as the backing band of Tony Sheridan)

worldwide (Atlantic Records handling US distribution) and was eager to see

his solo success continue on in a new era.
Two years on from 1974's Goodnight Vienna, Starr - armed with new

producer Arif Mardin - again stuck to his tried-and-true formula of having

friends write songs and play on the recordings. This time, Eric Clapton took

part, in addition to Peter Frampton, Melissa Manchester, Dr. John, Paul

McCartney and John Lennon (his last studio session for four years until

Double Fantasy). George Harrison donated a song too, but because of his

commitments to get his album Thirty Three & 1/3 done on schedule, he

couldn't take part in any recording for Ringo's Rotogravure.
Preceded by "A Dose Of Rock 'n' Roll", which reached #26, Ringo's

Rotogravure was released in September to a lukewarm response. Starr's

winning formula was no longer a fresh one, and despite some fine music, the

album performed poorly, only reaching #28 in the US and quickly falling off

the charts, while it never even appeared in the UK listings.The follow up

single, his cover of Bruce Channel's Hey Baby, stalled at #74 in the US. The

reaction made one thing clear to Ringo: he would have to try something

different next time.
A single of "Las Brisas / Cryin'" was appropriately released in Mexico.
