Liverpool 8 (song)

"Liverpool 8" is a song by Ringo Starr and is the lead track on his 2008 album of the same name. The song was also released in early December 2007 as a download-single. It was later released in physical formats (7" single and CD single) on 7 January 2008, a week before the release of the album. The B-side for the 7" is the third track from the album, "For Love". Despite the physical single being available for only 99 pence in the UK, it only reached number 99 there.[1][2] It is an autobiography of Starr put to song, with emphasis on his time with the Beatles. The title refers to the postal district of the Toxteth area of Liverpool in which Starr was born. The single was produced by Mark Hudson and Starr, and "overproduced" by Dave Stewart and Starr.[3]

gollark: You are missing what I am saying.
gollark: Not significantly.
gollark: The individual data points do not have much effect. The aggregate does, but *I cannot change that*.
gollark: I mean, if it would be 1 good if everyone did X, but 0.000001 good if I did X, then the possibility of 1 good which I *can't cause* doesn't affect the goodness of me doing it, unless you expect that I can cause that, which is probably wrong.
gollark: Which is correct, though?
