Cool cherry cream and a nice apple tart
I feel your taste all the time we're apart
Coconut fudge - really blows down those blues
But you'll have to have them all pulled out
After the Savoy truffle.
1968

I've finally completed downloading the last tracks of the cd, and have burned it onto a cd-r.

While I have a lot of the other 3 Beatles, only "live peace in Toronto" by John and some early virign John/Yoko work missing, and not everything by George on CD.
Ringo didn't get that much attention from me. Seen "Stop And Smell The Roses" in a shop few years back or so, but didn't buy it. Ofcourse now I can't find anywhere anymore! So the only song I heard from that album was the long version of "Private Property" on a bootleg. And I don't find it that bad at all in fact most of the songs are good, "Wrack My Brain" is even great imo.Would like to hear the Harrison version but I don't know if that has been released on some boot.
Can't Fight Lightning / Stop and Smell the Roses, is imo at least just as good as "Goodnight Vienna" and better then "Ringo's Rotogravure" two of the albums I do have but especially "Rotogravure" was a let down for me. Here there's a lot to enjoy. not really bad songs and the bootleg adds some nice bonus songs.

Just a reminder for everyone who is interested in downloading this Ringo boot from the site, I believe it's almost time the owner of the site is going to upload a new bootleg, so you won't be able to download the Ringo one anymore.

I wonder what the new bootleg will be, intersting stuff so far!
