Photograph: The Very Best of Ringo Starr (the last word visually rendered as) is a career-spanning best-of compilation album by Ringo Starr and is the first such album since the releases of 1975's Blast from Your Past and 1989's . The album was released in the UK on 27 August 2007, and in the US on 28 August.

Overview

The release of the new collection coincided with the reissue of Starr's first four solo albums for EMI, in digital format, on 28 August 2007.[1]

The tracks from 1970s and 1980s presented on the compilation featured updated mixes of the songs in comparison to Starr's 1990s CD reissues of his earlier albums.

Photograph contains all the tracks that appear on the earlier compilation Blast from Your Past.

Reception

The compilation debuted at number 26 on the UK Albums Chart on 2 September 2007. This achievement represented Starr's highest peak on that chart since 1974, when Goodnight Vienna reached number 30. Photograph: The Very Best of Ringo Starr stayed in the UK top 100 for three weeks. The album also had a two-week chart run in the United States, where it debuted at number 130 with 5,426 copies sold during the first week of release.
