Early 1970s Japanese Apple Records promotional poster
Large original first printing Ringo Starr (1940) promotional poster issued by Apple Records in Japan in the early 1970s, with the Apple logo to the bottom right corner. Apple Records was manufactured in Japan by Toshiba Musical Industries, the publisher of EMI in Japan (Toshiba EMI). Starr’s playing style, which emphasized feel over technical virtuosity, influenced many drummers to reconsider their playing from a compositional perspective. He also influenced various modern drumming techniques, such as the matched grip, tuning the drums lower, and using muffling devices on tonal rings. In 1999, he was inducted into the Modern Drummer Hall of Fame. He was inducted twice into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, as a Beatle in 1988 and as a solo artist in 2015. The poster features a striking photo of Ringo from the Let It Be recording sessions. The poster was for promotional purposes only, and was never made commercially available.
The poster measures 84.1 x 59.8 cm (approx. 33.1″ by 23.5″ inches) and is beautifully printed on thin, coated paper stock. There is a tack hole to each corner, else in remarkably near excellent unfolded condition. Feel free to email us with any questions you may have concerning this item. Additional images of the poster available on request.
