Photograph: The Very Best of Ringo Starr (the latter word visually rendered as Star) is a career-spanning best of compilation album by Ringo Starr and is the first such album since the release of 1975's Blast from Your Past. The release of the collection coincides with the that of Starr's first four solo albums for EMI in digital format on August 28, 2007.[1]
