A Great L.P. from Ringo, strong tracks, a prestigious collection of musicians, and great packaging. Consequently it made the top ten (should have been higher !), stayed in the chart for almost five months and sold over two million worldwide.

Recorded 5th March through to 30th April, with some overdubbing being done right up to July 1973.
5th March to 27th March 1973 recording is at Sunset Sound recorders studios in L.A. which includes on 13th March a session at which Ringo, George AND John are all present to record ten takes of "I'm The Greatest". It is this session which includes Klaus Voorman, that prompts global press fever that the Beatles have "reformed" with Klaus replacing Paul.
Other work is done on the album in America at the Burbank Studios, The Sound Labs and Producers Workshop, L.A.
On 16th April at the Apple Studios in Saville Row, Paul and Linda join Ringo for 15 takes of "Six O'clock". In the same session, Ringo records his tap dancing sequence for "Step Lightly".

"Ringo" comes in a very impressive colourful, gatefold sleeve which includes a 24 page L.P. sized booklet that has the lyrics and some excellent drawings by Klaus Voorman to illustrate each song. The cover paintings are by Tim Bruckner with the front picture having some interesting characters in the crowd including all the musicians heard on the album. Paul is accompanied by Linda, John has Yoko in a bag, and George is clutching a balloon with the Om symbol on it.
The album photography and art direction was by Barry Feinstein for Camouflage Productions, with the packaging coordinator being Alan Pariser.

Ringo - Detail From The Front Cover

If you wondered what it meant, look no further ... it is a typical piece of wry Beatle humour.
It is derived from the Royal motto "Dieu et mon droit" which is actually French for "God and my right". "Dieu et mon droit" is the motto of the Sovereign of England. The motto appears below the shield on the Royal Coat of Arms. The words were the military password chosen by King Richard I in 1198.
It doesn't take much to see that "Duit On Mon Dei" is just one step away from the Royal motto that the Beatles would have obviously seen. This motto became a part of the Apple ethics, which if you read it slowly in English you will see it becomes "Do it on Monday" ! ... e.g. let's not bother today ... lets "Duit On Mon Dei".
This of course preceded Harry Nilsson's album of the same title "Duit On Mon Dei", which appearred in 1975. And clearly Nilsson would have encountered the phrase having worked on this album of Ringo's.
