UK album release: Ringo The 4th by Ringo Starr

Ringo Starr’s sixth solo album, Ringo The 4th, was released in the United Kingdom on 20 September 1977, ten days before its US release.

The album was recorded in Los Angeles and New York in 1977, and saw Starr adopting R&B and disco styles.

Ringo The 4th was a critical and commercial failure. It failed to chart in the UK, and peaked at number 162 in the US. Its lack of success led to Starr being dropped by Atlantic.
