I had forgotten the first few seconds from the Back Off Boogaloo promo feature in Ringo's film Born To Boogie , the bit where Ringo and Bolan are doing " Some People Like To Rock " link  infront of the red cadilac.
Got my copy today i playing it now it's great, im also pleased Ringo credits Bolan with the title of Back Off Boogaloo .

" Marc Bolan was a friend. He came over for dinner one night and used to talk like that - he'd say things like Back Off Boogaloo. I went to bed and that song just came into my head in the twilight hour "

Nice one Ringo you not forgetting Marc like that , always thought it was a very Bolan sounding song , it's a real favourite

Meanwhile, the album is not released in Argentina yet (my country...). (In moments like these I really want to be in your location guys...) And the album doesn't appeared in the entire United World Chart Top 40. It was released in the United States right?

But, there's internet, right? You can order anything!

I got my copy Tuesday and, being the huge Ringo fan that I am (just ask Mr Kite!), I played it straight away! Great memories - I haven't played or heard Beaucoups of Blues for decades (literally!)! I played that track over and over again when I was a kid - no wonder I can't stand C&W now!!

The only low-point for me is the inclusion of Act Naturally and the front cover (it looks a bit cheap!). GREAT album though! Well done Richie, hope it's a big hit for you

Yay!! I got it too!!    
The problem was that I couldn't get it where I live (probably hasn't been released yet, and I know there's the internet as Bobber correctly pointed out, but I don't trust internet shopping), and Dad was over in the UK so I sort of mentioned the fact that if he saw a Ringo album somewhere by any chance it would make a nice "souvenir"... so he got me Photograph!   Very happy indeed ^___^

I really like the songs on it... some of them I haven't heard before (and now I really want to get Vertical Man!) And I love the comentaries... great album - Go Ringo!  



I'd ask my friends to come and see... an Octopus's Garden with me ^___^

You're right! But I prefer to wait a little because buy through internet is quite expensive. At least for me.  
And also I bought 4 CDs in the last two weeks. I got to stop!

Yeah! Two days ago I bought Music Of My Mind by Stevie Wonder. What you think about that album? Do you like it? I've listening to it just 2 or 3 times and it seems really good, but nothing compares to Innervisions.

That's the only Stevie Wonder album i still need that has a good rating in
most album polls! I like Innervisions in places but not a huge fan of it
I love Fullfilligness, songs in Key of life, & Talking Book (which is my fav).
I may just put Stevie Wonder & Marvin Gaye as the best singers ever!!

God bless you Andy! You're great. I love Marvin & Stevie and those are fantastic albums, simlpy some of the best music ever recorded.  

About Ringo, I've readed this in the discussion of ukmix.org
"Also in the US this is the album's debut week, at No. 130, with approximate sales of 5.000 copies."

http://www.ukmix.org/forums/viewtopic.php?t=47614

Is it true? It's his first charting in the US since Ringo Rama.

It is 30 years ago today (September 16th), that the legend that was Marc Bolan died in a mini driven by his girlfriend & mother of his child Gloria Jones (most famous for the original version of "Tainted Love").

So today is a good day to relive TRextacy of the early 1970s.
