This Is The Only Album That Featured 4 Beatles Personnel After They Disbanded
JAKARTA - After decades behind the scenes, it looks like rock fans are still thinking about the disbandment of The Beatles. While it looks like Fab Four can last forever if they want, Allen Klein's bad business transactions, in addition to increasing creative tensions, cause each band member to act alone, creating a new sonic path in their solo career. Even though every member of The Beatles who has solo careers prefers to be alone, they sometimes still jam together.
For his first solo, Plastic Ono Band, John Lennon used Ringo Starr on the drums, playing trio with bassist Klaus Voorman. Although Lennon will eventually bring George Harrison back to play the main guitar on his Imagine album with Starr, there is no possibility that Paul McCartney will be allowed to join, after insinuating Lennon in the song Too Many People.
Instead of working with his bandmates, McCartney prefers to make a name for himself with the help of his wife, Linda, creating fantastic songs one after another on albums like RAM and the start of the next band, Wings. Although McCartney is delighted to be working together again, he has not brought any of his former bandmates throughout his new band career, only working with Starr on some songs in the 1980s.
In the meantime, it looks like George Harrison will be the most popular soloist. Making a big single with My Sweet Lord, his debut solo album, All Things Must Pass, is made for a dual album full of joy, alongside another CD the group plays outside of the songs that have been refined.
In the midst of the success of his bandmates, Starr remains a loved musician in the group. Although he has never been heralded as the greatest songwriter according to any standard, Starr's ability to maintain the flow of songs and occasionally performing ballad or wave-up brings a little excitement to every song released by the band.
After studying country music on the album Beaucoup of Blues, Starr's return to rock music on Ringo's album marked the only time every Beatles member played on a solo album. Featuring Harrison's help on the single Photograph, Starr's vocals were supported by various reserve singers, as well as Harrison's performance on guitar.

The opening song is the song I'm the Greatest co-written by John Lennon. As a shy statement over Starr's skills, Lennon also provided some of the guest vocals in the background of the song. Although McCartney tends to be the only one who is reluctant to join, in fact he cannot miss the opportunity to help one of his best colleagues behind the drums.
At the bottom of the album, McCartney oversaw the arrangement and played a little piano on the Six O'Clock song he wrote with Linda. Wanting to have fun in the studio, McCartney also played a kazoo solo on another hit Starr song from the album, You're Seventeen.
Although every member has fun working on their own songs, it will never be enough for the full reunion of The Beatles, with Starr finally left alone for the rest of his solo career. The Fab Four will never be the same after the breakup, but this album is a subtle reminder of the joy they can bring into people's lives when they are all together.
