Documentaire en concertregistratie van een benefietconcert voor Bangladesh met diverse artiesten, opgenomen op 1 augustus 1971 in Madison Square Garden te New York (luxe editie).
On 21st October 1985 at Londons Limehouse Studios a superstar cast of friends and fans joined Carl Perkins to record a TV special celebrating his career, 30 years after he recorded "Blue Suede Shoes". Perkins was joined by George Harrison and Eric Clapton and other stars including Dave Edmunds, Slim Jim Phantom and Lee (Stray Cats) Rocker plus Earl Slick and singer Rosanne Cash. George Harrison struck up a lasting friendship with Perkins and much of the continued interest in the programme lies in the prominent role played by Harrison. The former Beatle takes lead vocal on several tracks as well as playing guitar. He is joined by former colleague Ringo Starr: their first gig together since the mid-1970s. To celebrate the 30th anniversary of this unique show, the concert is released as DVD/CD set in a mediabook with liner notes from Sam Szczepanski, who was one of the fans who managed to get a ticket for the show. This set captures the whole concert. The DVD also includes short interviews. (bron: Madfish)
Plaat uit 1973, waar z'n ex-Beatle-collega's alledrie compositorisch aan bijdragen, naast o.a. Randy Newman. Alle songs zijn door Klaus Voormann met een gravure uitgebeeld. Deze CD-versie bevat 3 extra tracks.
"It has been left to Ringo Starr to release the first full-length Christmas album from a Beatle, and I Wanna Be a Santa Claus is very much in the group's spirit. On the standards, Starr is his usual good-natured self, and the standout track is the cover of "Christmas Time Is Here Again." There are precious few lyrics besides the title, but it deserves to be added to the ranks of Christmas standards. So, Ringo Starr is well-served by his supporting musicians on I Wanna Be Santa Claus, and his typically cheery manner is so well-suited to the holiday spirit that it's only a shame he waited so long to make his seasonal recording." (Allmusic).
Studio-album met verse songs (met verwijzingen naar z'n Beatle-verleden, maar ook naar o.a. Roy Orbison), zelf geschreven met de hier spelende rockband. Verder vele gasten, o.a. Eric Clapton, David Gilmour, Willie Nelson, Charlie Haden.
Uit 1976. Z'n 3 ex-Beatle-collegae droegen songs aan (vooral Harrisons bijdrage is sterk), evenals Eric Clapton. Paul en Linda zingen een koortje, Dr. John, Peter Frampton en the Brecker Brothers spelen mee. Olijke, luchtige pop/rockplaat.
