Ringo Starr POLYDOR SINGLES and "STARR STRUCK - BEST OF VOL2" bundle. It is worth noting that the singles listed below are relatively hard to find.
This bundle comprises of:
"STARR STRUCK - BEST OF VOL2" Released on Rhino R1 70135 - 1989. This second 'Best Of' album was only released in the US and therefore never charted in the UK. It covers the best of his albums 'Old Wave', Rotogravure', 'Bad Boy', Stop And Smell The Roses' and 'Ringo The 4th'.
"A DOSE OF ROCK 'N' ROLL" b/w "Cryin'" - released on Polydor 2001 694 in 1976 - this was Ringo's 1st release on Polydor and both the A and B side were taken from his album "Ringo's Rotogravure'. Didn't chart in the UK. "HEY BABY" b/w "Lady Gaye" - released on Polydor 2001 699 in 1976 - 2nd track lifted from 'Rotogravure - didn't chart in the UK.
"DROWNING IN THE SEA OF LOVE" b/w "Just A Dream" - relased on Polydor 2001 734 in 1977 - taken from the album "Ringo The 4th" - didn't chart in the UK.
"TONIGHT" b/w "Heart On My Sleeve" released on Polydor 2001 795 in 1978 - taken from the album "Bad Boy" - didn't chart in the UK.
"ACT NATURALLY" b/w "The Key's In The Mailbox" (Buck Owen only) - released on Capitol B-44409 in 1989. The A side is a duet with Buck Owen and was only released in the US therefore no chart presence in the UK. This is a typical US juke box type single.
All of the above are in NM to M condition. Of the Polydor singles, only 'A Dose of Rock 'N' Roll' doesn't have a Polydor sleeve - just a white card sleeve. 'Act Naturally' comes in a Capitol Records sleeve.
