Ringo Starr is releasing a new Beatles album! Photo album that is. The drummer for the Fab Four is putting out a book – originally titled Photograph – that will contain never before seen shots of the Beatles from throughout their time together in the 1960’s. For most people shots have never been seen before because of things like: someone’s put their finger over the lens, the lens was smudgy or people have come out with red eye in them; however Ringo reckons that he’s got a pretty decent selection of his old band mates Macca, John Lennon and George Harrison.

"These are shots that no one else could have" he said according to The Independent, which we presume means that the wily drummer spent tour evenings creeping around their hotel taking pictures of the rest of them when they were sleeping. The book isn’t entirely about The Beatles; it will stretch out over Ringo’s whole life, including his upbringing in Liverpool. The digital version of the book will allow readers to zoom in on photos, while Ringo has provided some voice over and animation bits to go alongside it, including narrations of the stories behind the pictures. Good news for those who miss him narrating Thomas The Tank Engine.

The book will be released as an eBook on the iTunes bookstore from June 12th, a limited print edition will run in December. Just don't ask him to sign them.
