Sentimental Journey

"Sentimental Journey" is the title song of Ringo's very first solo LP. The song was arranged by Ringo's future producer Richard Perry. Richard and Ringo would not meet for a few years yet but Richard would eventually work with Ringo on several recordings and LPs including "Ringo" and "Goodnight Vienna" in the early 1970s.
The orchestral backing for "Sentimental Journey" was completed in late 1969 although I cannot find an exact date and the tape was sent to London. Ringo's vocal - double tracked at various times throughout the middle eight - was recorded at Olympic Sound Studios in London on the evening of January 14 1970.
The song was mixed in stereo at Abbey Road (as it was now being called - formerly EMI Studios) a week later on January 20 1970.
