I recently posted on getting a promo copy of Ringo Starr’s Ringo the 4th LP.
Now the fabulous Chained and Perfumed has discovered that the “power” ring that Ringo is seen wearing for the album’s cover shot is up for auction shortly:
Turns out the ring was commissioned as a Christmas gift for him by the lady who is sitting on his shoulders in the cover shot (front and back). She was also the photographer and Ringo’s then-girlfriend – Nancy Andrews. So, a self-portrait of sorts.
Actually, the model atop Ringo’s shoulders – front and back – was Nancy Andrews’ friend, Rita Wolf. Nancy shot the images (in a closet), but Rita posed. Here’s her picture: http://truthaboutthebeatlesgirls.tumblr.com/post/23615894314/the-last-waltz-november-26-1976-nancy-lee

Ah! I just recently found this out and meant to drop a correction on the comment I left saying it was Nancy but looks like the commenter above has helped out. Good job, guys.
