Front of the new Ringo album

The pin Ringo is wearing on the front cover is an official John Lennon pin from the U.S. stamp release from 2018.

There are a couple of Lennon connections on the album, Ringo-versions of Lennon’s “Grow Old With Me” and a song John used to sing in the Beatles, “Money (That’s what I want)”.

The album will be released on CD, on LP and on a limited edition blue LP.
