The front and back covers of this disc feature blurry images of Ringo to make him look as if he's blasting off in a time machine. Also for this effect, his name and the album title are printed in zigzaggy characters. Lyrics to all songs are included in the booklet accompanying the disc.
1. You're 16 (You're Beautiful And You're Mine) (2:47) - This moderate-speed remake is even catchier than Johnny Burnette's original. This version opens with the piano rolling merrily and someone shouting "Wow!" Other features include handclaps; backing vocals singing "Mine, all mine, mine, mine" following the title; and a sax in the middle instrumental. The second time Ringo sings the line, "You walked out of my dreams and into my arms," he replaces "arms" with "car"--now that's a passionate adventure for the couple!
2. No No Song/Skokiaan (2:29) - Almost 50 seconds into this moderate-paced song, I hear castanets rattle briefly; when the fading sequence starts they come in again, this time rattling until the song fades out. The "no no" is to marijuana, cocaine and whiskey. My favorite line in this song is "No thank you, please, it only makes me sneeze."
3. It Don't Come Easy (3:02) - The tempo is slightly faster than moderate. Instruments include horns and an organ. I bought the disc for this one song, my favorite of Ringo's solo songs, which he wrote and George produced. Singing the blues doesn't come easy, and neither do trust and peace.
4. Photograph (3:54) - For the first 14 seconds the tempo is hard to follow, but once Ringo starts singing, I can tell the pace is moderate. Starting at about the 40-second mark, I can faintly hear a tambourine. During the middle instrumental I hear a sax and some castanets; the latter continue for the rest of the song. The narrator is sad now that his girlfriend has dumped him; all he has now is her picture. Every time he looks at it, he recalls the various places they used to frequent. Ringo and George wrote this song together.
5. Back Off Boogaloo (3:17) - Here's another Ringo-written, George-produced song. The drums beat loud and in a similar pattern to a military march song. Here "boogaloo" refers not to a dance but to a lazy loafer. The narrator tells him, "Get yourself together and give me something tasty"; in other words, shape up or ship out!
6. Only You (And You Alone) (3:23) - This soft, moderately slow songs begins with a 4-second guitar solo. Then a bass and drums enter, and Ringo starts singing. I hear a piano later. Only the narrator's girlfriend can brighten a dark world for the narrator. She alone can give him pleasure. He calls her "my one and only you." Starting at 1:35 Ringo speaks a couple of lines. This song was previously sung by the Platters.
7. Beaucoups Of Blues (2:32) - This song has a moderately fast, 3/4 tempo. Instruments include a harmonica. The narrator, having left his girlfriend and his Louisiana home, hoped to find happiness from traveling all over the world. But the strange places turned out not to be as glamorous as he hoped they would be. He decides to go back home, only to find that he has lost everything. For his folly he has reaped sorrows galore. This song was the title song to one of Ringo's first solo albums; the other was Sentimental Journey.
8. Oh My My (4:14) - This song is moderate-paced and lively, with a saxophone, a piano, and horns. The narrator, having depression, shaky knees and sore wrists, schedules an appointment with his doctor. When the doctor asks him if he can boogie, the narrator tries it, and before long his pain goes away. He passes his lesson on to the listener: next time you're down in the dumps, just try dancing! Ringo co-wrote this song with Vince Poncia, who also took part in writing hits for singers such as the Ronettes.
9. Early 1970 (2:19) - Here's a song that Ringo wrote and produced all by himself. The tempo seems slow at first, but it turns fast shorly before the 1-minute mark. Instruments include cymbals, an electric guitar and a piano. The title probably refers to the Beatles' final days as a group. The "long-haired, cross-legged guitar player" with the Japanese wife is probably John. The line "Got plenty of charm" even sounds like "Got plenty of John" at first listen. The closing line, "And when I go to town I wanna see all three," might refer to John, Paul and George.
10. I'm The Greatest (3:22) - This song, written by John, has a somewhat slow tempo. Instruments and sound effects include handclaps, a tambourine, an organ, and electric guitar licks. When Ringo was a child, his mother told him he was great. His friends told him the same when he was a teenager. Once he married, he heard the same from his wife. The last verse revisits Sgt. Pepper, the song that gave Ringo the name Billy Shears. Right after the last verse's first line, applause breaks out. Once he's through singing, Ringo shouts, "I'm the greatest...all right, all right!" until the song fades out. Whether or not you believe Ringo by himself was/is the greatest, many people would agree that the Beatles were "the greatest show on earth."
