In March 10th, 2004, Rab Noakes was interviewed by Charles Orr. This is an extract of this interview about Ring O'Records:
How did you get involved with Ringo Starr's short-lived "Ring O’ Records" label for your 1978 album ‘Restless’? Did you ever meet him?:
I had made a demo tape over at Gerry Rafferty’s house in Kilmacolm over five days in 1976. The tape did the rounds and ended up with Polydor. It was picked up by a Gerry Condon who said he wanted to take it to his next job. This turned out to be a new label created by Ringo under the Polydor umbrella. The recording was done at Tittenhurst Park which Ringo had access to and where John Lennon recorded “Imagine”, in that big front room. I only met Ringo once, but he did send me a thank you telegram, which I’ve kept. It was an interesting experience.
