Warning: The album was issued for the first lime on CD in early May 1995, in a faithful transfer of the master tape, down to the "rills" between the songs which were exactly the same as the LP. However, the UK copies of the CD feature a digital glitch at 1’57^’’ on track 10, “You Always Hurt The One You Love”, which is missing from the US pressings.

Внимание: Впервые на компакт-дисках этот альбом был издан в начале мая 1995 года. Источником для выпуска компакт-дисков послужила оригинальная студийная мастер-лента, поэтому промежутки между песнями точно такие же, как и на виниловой пластинке. Однако, Британские компакт-диски имеют цифровой щелчок на 10-ом треке - “You Always Hurt The One You Love” на 1 минуте 57 секунд от начала песни. Этот дефект отсутствует на компакт-дисках изданных в США.

Recording started on 27th October 1969 with track 2 "Night And Day", and up to December 4th Ringo added tracks 1, 5, 6, 7, 9, 10, 11 and 12. After work on the "Let It Be" album, Ringo recorded the final three tracks 3, 4 and 8 between 3rd February and 13th March 1970. There were also two other songs recorded which were not released, "Autumn Leaves", "I'll Be Looking At The Moon" and "Stormy Weather".

Сессия записи началась 27 октября 1969 года с песни "Night And Day" стоящей 2-ым треком в альбоме. Запись продолжалась до 4 декабря и Ринго в этот период записал треки 1, 5, 6, 7, 9, 10, 11 и 12. После окончания работы над альбомом "Let It Be", Ringo в период с 3 февраля по 13 марта 1970 года сделал запись еще трех песен. Это были треки 3, 4 и 8. Были также записаны еще три композиции "Autumn Leaves", "I'll Be Looking At The Moon" и "Stormy Weather", которые в финале так и не попали в альбом.

В дизайне обложки альбома участвовал фотограф Ричард Полак. На лицевой стороне альбома фигура Ринго вставлена в дверях здания "The Empress" на High Park Street в Ливерпуле расположенного недалеко от дома Ринго. В окнах - монтаж из фотографий родственников Ринго. Продюсер альбома Джордж Мартин.
