Original 1972 U.S. Apple Records pressing of Ringo Starr’s “Back Off Boogaloo,” produced by George Harrison and featuring “Blindman” on the flip side.
Pressed by Capitol Records, jacksonville plant (identified by the “0” symbol in runout). The labels feature the distinctive blue-tinted Apple design, used only briefly in early U.S. issues.
Mastered at Sterling Sound by Lee Hulko (LH) — both “STERLING” and “LH” are machine-stamped/etched in the deadwax, confirming a high-quality lacquer cut.
This single is notable for its heavy association with George Harrison’s slide guitar sound and production influence, marking one of Ringo’s most successful post-Beatles singles.
