  • Bad Boy is an album by Ringo Starr, based on Billy Flanagan, and was released in 1978 during a period where his musical career was sliding into freefall after several years of solo success. Although Bad Boy was meant to reverse this trend, Starr's fortunes dwindled further. After the critical and commercial disaster of Ringo the 4th (1977), Starr and his musical partner, Vini Poncia, decided to create a less campy album and streamline the sound to lose the disco qualities and excesses that marred the previous release. With Poncia taking the production reins, Starr mostly relies on other people's songs, with no celebrity guests to be found. The results, while comparatively an improvement, were still below par for Starr, resulting in another flop album, with Bad Boy only reaching #129 in the US, despite the airing of a prime time TV special entitled Ognir Rrats ('Ringo Starr' backwards). Polydor Records, after three consecutive non-charters in the UK, promptly dropped Starr, while his new US label, Portrait Records (who picked him up after Atlantic Records had dropped him) would eventually cancel his contract in 1981 during the making of his next album. Of the 45's pulled from Bad Boy, neither "Lipstick Traces (On A Cigarette)" nor "Heart On My Sleeve" charted. In the UK, the lone single was "Tonight / Heart On My Sleeve" and did not chart. It is now a sought after collector's item. Rather cheekily, "A Man Like Me" is simply Scouse the Mouse's "A Mouse Like Me" with all the words "Mouse" substituted by "Man". Bad Boy was reissued on CD in the US by Epic Records in 1991 (after Portrait Records' shelving), now its only source of availability.
  • Bad Boy es un álbum de Ringo Starr publicado durante un periodo en el que su carrera musical sufría una notable devaluación en comparación con años anteriores. Aunque Bad Boy tenía por objetivo dar marcha atrás en esta tendencia, la suerte de Ringo comenzaba a menguar progresivamente. Tras el desastre comercial de Ringo the 4th (1977), Ringo y su socio, Vinci Poncia, propusieron crear un álbum menos amanerado y aerodinamizar el sonido para que perdiera las cualidades y excesos de su predecesor. De forma notable, la voz de Ringo en Bad Boy es mucho más sobria. Con Vinci Pincia en la producción, Ringo interpretó canciones clásicas y de otros artistas, sin invitar a ningún músico a la grabación del álbum. Los resultados fueron aún peores que con la publicación de Ringo the 4th, dando lugar a otro fracaso en su carrera musical. En Estados Unidos alcanzó el puesto #129, a pesar de la producción de un programa televisivo titulado Ognir Rats ('Ringo Starr' al revés). Polydor Records, tras tres álbumes consecutivos sin entrar en las listas británicas, decidió rescindir el contrato de Ringo, mientras en Estados Unidos Portrait haría lo mismo mientras grababa Stop and Smell the Roses en 1981. Bad Boy fue reeditado en formato CD por Epic Records en 1991 tras el declive de Portrait Records.
