If you’ve been following any of the forums you’ll be aware that speculation has been rife over the last month or so about new Beatle or Beatle-related releases. Now Ringo Starr has emerged as the first to announce a new release for the Summer.

His record – another EP in what is quickly becoming a series – is called Rewind Forward. It contains four new songs – one of which is written, produced and played on by Paul McCartney.

Rewind Forward is available to pre-order on the official Ringo Starr Store website from today ahead of its release on October 13, 2023.

It is available on digital, cassette, CD, and on 10” black vinyl.

Also, the title track ‘Rewind Forward’ will be available to stream or purchase everywhere this Friday August 25, 2023.

The EP features four new songs:
1. Shadows On The Wall
2. Feeling The Sunlight
3. Rewind Forward
4. Miss Jean

Paul McCartney wrote ‘Feeling The Sunlight’. He also produced and, according to rumours, sings and plays four instruments on the track. So, it’ll be interesting to hear that one.

As to the ongoing speculation about a new Beatle release…..

In 2021 Ringo’s EP Change The World preceded the release of the super deluxe edition of Let It Be in 2021, and his last EP (simply called EP3) preceded Revolver last year. So, theoretically, are we all clear now for a big Beatles announcement?
