Ringo Starr - Starr Struck - The Best Of Ringo Starr Vol.2 (1989 Rhino Records) Flac & mp3

A follow-up compilation to Blast From Your Past, Starr Struck gathered together the better tracks from Ringo Starr's less successful albums originally released between 1976 and 1983. "A Dose of Rock 'N' Roll" and "Wrack My Brain" were Top 40 singles, and the album contained specially written songs by Ringo's Beatle colleagues.

The album also marked the first U.S. release for four songs from Ringo's 1983 album Old Wave. The result was a good substitute for five Ringo albums that were out of print when it was released, but no match for the hit-filled Blast From Your Past.(allmusic.com)

Vol.2 of the best by Ringo from the last (then) 20 years of his solo work. A lot good songs here. Attention is a favourite of mine and really one of his best songs in my opinion. I think to match Blast From your Past with Starr Struck is not possible except on the flat how much hits the albums have. But that don't say much. Sure, it's all pop music nevertheless here is an other kind of pop on this album. The conclusion: Ringo have done (and do) good pop music.

Enjoy it
