Ringo Starr’s new studio album, Liverpool 8, his first new album with Capitol/EMI since 1974's Goodnight Vienna, will be released not only on CD and online, but also as a USB wristband.
Liverpool 8 , released on January 15, will be available as a pre-loaded USB wristband
including the entire album, a personal video message, interview and
track commentary from Ringo Starr, behind-the-scenes making-of footage
from the recording sessions, ringtunes, photos and more.
All the albums 12 tracks were co-written by Ringo and recorded in
England and in California. "The writing of the records is always the
same," Ringo explains. "It's the same group of guys and we all sit
together and write about what's happening." The group of guys are Gary Burr, Steve Dudas, Mark Hudson, Sean Hurley,
Zac Rae, and Dave Stewart.
Ringo has live dates scheduled to coincide with the album,
returning to Liverpool for a hometown performance on January 12 with
his Liverpool 8 co-producer, Dave Stewart, to kick off the city’s 2008 Capital of Culture celebrations.
