Ringo Starr has revealed that playing drums on John Lennon/Plastic Ono Band - Lennon’s first album following the break-up of The Beatles - was a career highlight.
“It’s one of the best experiences of being on a record I have ever had,” he told Uncut magazine. “Just being in the room with John, being honest, the way he was, screaming, shouting and singing. It was an incredible moment.”
Klaus Voormann was the bass player on the album, which was released in December 1970. The association with Voormann, went back to The Beatles' early days in Hamburg.
In the Uncut magazine interview, Starr also recalled the unique chemistry that existed between the three musicians. “John, Klaus and I, one of the finest trios I ever heard. We did it like a jam," he said.
"We knew John had the songs and we’d kick it in and felt where it should go. We knew Klaus anyway. John and I really knew each other, so we were psychic where the atmosphere was going to go.”
