Post-Beatles Collaborations
I've been looking to The Beatles solo output quite a bit recently and it rarely seems to get mentioned how much they officially collaborated after 1970. You particularly saw a lot of this on Ringo solo albums, but it's not just there. Anyone available to help me compile a playlist?
Here's a start, focusing on Ringo's solo output (with a little trawl through sleevenotes and Wikipedia). Apologies if this entry is just a long list, but there's more than you'd think. I can't find a resource for this online so it would be nice to compile one here. I'll also include a few other relevant collaborators:
Ringo Starr
-"Stardust" (Sentimental Journey) arranged by Paul McCartney.
-"I'm The Greatest" (Ringo) written by John Lennon, features Lennon, George Harrison and also Klaus Voorman & Billy Preston.
-"Photograph" (Ringo) written with and featuring George.
-"You're Sixteen" (Ringo) features Paul.
-"6 O'Clock" (Ringo) written by and featuring Paul.
-"You And Me (Babe)" (Ringo) written by and featuring George.
-"Goodnight Vienna" (Goodnight Vienna) written by and featuring John, plus Billy Preston.
-"All By Myself" (Goodnight Vienna) featuring John.
-"Only You (and you alone)" (Goodnight Vienna) featuring John.
-"Pure Gold" (Ringo's Rotogravure) written by and featuring Paul.
-"Cookin' In The Kitchen Of Love" (Ringo's Rotogravure) written by and featuring John.
-"I'll Still Love You (Ringo's Rotogravure) written by George.
-"Private Property" (Stop And Smell The Roses) written by and featuring Paul.
-"Wrack My Brain" (Stop And Smell The Roses) written by and featuring George.
-"Attention" (Stop And Smell The Roses) written by and featuring Paul.
-"You Belong To Me" (Stop And Smell The Roses) features George.
-"Sure To Fall" (Stop And Smell The Roses) features Paul.
-"What In The World" (Vertical Man) features Paul.
-"King Of Broken Hearts" (Vertical Man) features Paul.
-"I Was Walkin'" (Vertical Man) features Paul.
-"La De Da" (Vertical Man) features Paul.
-"I'll Be Fine Anywhere" (Vertical Man) features George.
Anyone care to add to this? I know Ringo drummed on a number of both Paul & George's albums...and then there's Plastic Ono Band, three Beatles on George's "All Those Years Ago", multiple Beatles on Tom Petty records....

The only one I'm sure of
George Harrison plays a lot of guitar on Imagine, including How Do You Sleep?
