Ringo 2012 is the seventeenth studio album by Ringo Starr, released on 30 January 2012 in the UK and 31 January 2012 in the US. It was released on CD, LP and digitally by Hip-O Records and UMe.
Starr had considered calling the album Motel California, then Another #9, and finally Wings, before settling on Ringo 2012.
The album was recorded in Los Angeles, and mixed in England, produced by Starr and Bruce Sugar. The title is a reference to Ringo's most successful solo album Ringo, which was released in 1973. The track "Wings" was released as a single few weeks in advance of the album.
At Metacritic, Ringo 2012 holds an average Metascore of 59 out of 100, based on five professional reviews – which indicates a "mixed or average" reception. The album debuted at number 80 in the US, and at number 181 in the UK, selling 6,348 and 752 copies respectively, as of February 2012.
