John: Is that Ringo Starr advertising his new album _Goodnight Vienna_ on Apple records and tapes? Ringo: It certainly is, John! John: Ay, you look so wonderful! Ringo: Thank you! John: _Goodnight Vienna_, on Apple records and tapes. Ringo: Thanks, John. John: It's a pleasure, Ringo.
I love it that John Lennon did a voice over commercial for Ringo's then new album, Goodnight Vienna and Ringo did a voice over commercial for John Lennon's album, Walls And Bridges. Despite the bitter break up of The Beatles, John & Ringo were always close.
It was a mutually beneficial arrangement; Ringo got supplied with hit material, John had a vehicle for fun songs that wouldn't really have fit on his own albums.
Very cool! I bugged my family back in '73 to buy me the Ringo album. The following year, I talked them into buying Goodnight Vienna. From the commercial, even though the fabs were going thru legal issues, some of the Beatles not talking to each other, and John's deportation, John and Ringo still sounded like the best of friends.
This was my very first album. The pictures on the inner-sleeve of the band whooping it up in the studio with John Lennon, Billy Preston, Dr. John, etc. made me want to be a part of that party! Great songs! This clip is amazing. Captures the spirit of the record.They wouldn't dream of doing anything like this today which is incredibly sad. But at least Ringo is still rockin' and rollin'!
11 years old living in the area with my family, I remember seeing the gigantic image of Ringo on the roof of Capitol Records. It seemed like it was up there for about a year or so
This was probably the last time Apple made a focussed effort to promote one of their albums. Fact that John was so willing to help Ringo with his solo career is really cool.
Missed seeing this as I was stationed in West Berlin at the time. Was listening to the album though, as my roommate and 90-gunner WT played it like there was no tomorrow. He would've loved the commercial. Wonder if he's still around. Sigh.
I believe Apple was close to closing down at the time & the Beatles were moving their solo careers to the main company of Capitol (except I think, George, who was setting up his own Dark Horse label then).
"Snookeroo" and "Only You" respectively; two of the three singles in the album. The former was co-written by Ringo and Elton John, the latter is a standard brought to success by The Platters in the Fifties.
John and Ringo both did commercials for each others lousy albums. The Beatles had a "Fat Elvis" period too, it was the 1970's. Their albums from this period all sucked. All four of them.
john paul and george could fight ,but they all loved ringo
We all did and still do!
John: Is that Ringo Starr advertising his new album _Goodnight Vienna_ on Apple records and tapes?
Ringo: It certainly is, John!
John: Ay, you look so wonderful!
Ringo: Thank you!
John: _Goodnight Vienna_, on Apple records and tapes.
Ringo: Thanks, John.
John: It's a pleasure, Ringo.
ahh yes my favorite ringo song
it doesn't look any less surreal in print …
"say goodnight, Ringo"
"goodnight Ringo"
John Lennon was so damn funny! They all were
I love it that John Lennon did a voice over commercial for Ringo's then new album, Goodnight Vienna and Ringo did a voice over commercial for John Lennon's album, Walls And Bridges. Despite the bitter break up of The Beatles, John & Ringo were always close.
They were roommates at the time.
Yes❤
Ringo play the drums in his first album Plastic Ono Banda 😊
It was a mutually beneficial arrangement; Ringo got supplied with hit material, John had a vehicle for fun songs that wouldn't really have fit on his own albums.
Ringo was everyone's friend. Paul ignored him for a long time. Ringo wrote the song "Early 1970" talking about it.
Aww John and Ringo!!! How adorable are these two? :D
Seeing John and Ringo together warms my heart
....& Ringo did the talking on Walls & bridges TV add for John, kinda cool bit of post Beatle friendship there.
Two great charismatic superstars of the greatest band in the world!!!...Miss you still, John...

and Ringo did the narration for John's Walls and Bridges!
"Goodnight Vienna" and "Ringo" the best albums of Ringo Starr.
They are certainly 2 albums by Ringo Starr.
This was my very first album. The pictures on the inner-sleeve of the band whooping it up in the studio with John Lennon, Billy Preston, Dr. John, etc. made me want to be a part of that party!

Beautiful Lennon talking and promoting Ringo's album!

John:Goodnight Vienna on Apple Records and Tapes
Commercial: *shows Capitol Records building*
Capitol was Apple's U.S. distributor.

“It’s a pleasure, Ringo.”
This was probably the last time Apple made a focussed effort to promote one of their albums. Fact that John was so willing to help Ringo with his solo career is really cool.
Thanks John.
It's a pleasure Ringo.
This is so adorable.
Favorite Ringo album!
Just read about the filming of this in Harry Nilsson's biography. Many thanks for uploading this!
Love it!
50 years this November!!
Ringo's adorable & lovable. c;
Missed seeing this as I was stationed in West Berlin at the time. Was listening to the album though, as my roommate and 90-gunner WT played it like there was no tomorrow. He would've loved the commercial. Wonder if he's still around. Sigh.
did Ringo actually fly in that saucer? that was pretty reckless and then landing on the roof of the Capitol building, 13 stories high! Was he stoned?
Wow! That was great.
so heartwarming
Sir Ringo on Apple Records and Tapes🍏
This is so Damn cool!!!
J:why you look so wonderful
R:thank you!
hahaha
how the hell did they make that fly?!
Sorry for the late reply. Wires and a crane. You're welcome.
Fun!
found this record at my local music store
I fucking love this commercial.
Was this recorded just for this or did Goodnight Vienna plan to have a music video?!
Hmmmm.. Ringo is Klaatu.
I wonder if anyone reported a UFO during the filming.
Was that actually JOHN LENNON on the commercial?
The Ringles
Today On: DANGER RINGO AGAIN!
i want to hear Teron Egerton sing Snookeroo.
0:26 - 0:29 John Lennon
This did absolutely nothing to quash rumours Klaatu were the Beatles.
Klaatu sounds nothing like the beatles you people really are deaf dumb mutts
Groovy. I've always loved that album, but never imagined they had some far out promo like this.
Ringos Alcoholic years.
So that's where John has seen an U.F.O. ...
If the album was on Apple records and tapes, why was Ringo on top of the Capitol Records building??
74 was almost the time the beatles solo careers were moving to another label,so i think ringo was moving his to capitol
I believe Apple was close to closing down at the time & the Beatles were moving their solo careers to the main company of Capitol (except I think, George, who was setting up his own Dark Horse label then).
Capitol was the distributor for Apple in the US. EMI did it in the rest of the world.
Wait Apple existed in 1974? /s

What are the names of the first two songs playing in this commercial?!
0:00 and 0:33
"Snookeroo" and "Only You" respectively; two of the three singles in the album. The former was co-written by Ringo and Elton John, the latter is a standard brought to success by The Platters in the Fifties.
@@oilingup _Snookeroo_ is by Elton John and Bernie Taupin. Ringo had no hand in writing it.
@@mcarp555 you are right: it’s an Elton/Taupin composition. Thanks for correction. I got confused.
HAHAHA RINGO is the BEST!
they didn't.
Wow Ringo really sucked.
In terms of?

Everyone knows that Ringo Starr can’t sing!
Well, he certainly can sing better than you
@@lestatmacway892 Are you nuts?!
