Ringo Starr's fourth solo album GOODNIGHT VIENNA was released in Great Britain on November 15, 1974. The album title has double sense. On the Liverpool slang it designates a phrase "Let's get outta here".

On the front cover is a still from the 1951 science-fiction film "The Day the Earth Stood Still" [see Pic. 1, 2] with Ringo's head superimposed over the head of Michael Rennie.

The inner sleeve no have variations. It has three corners cut off and a wide notch for easy removal of the record. The country of manufacture is not indicated anywhere. On one of the sides below is the Apple logo, the British catalog number PCS 7168 and the G & L (Garrod & Lofthouse) printing house code.

In the runout area on both sides of the record, next to the British matrix numbers are the American numbers, because the varnishes were originally cut by Doug Sax at The Mastering Lab, USA and then transferred to the UK.

ПРИМЕЧАНИЕ

Четвёртый по счёту сольный альбом Ринго Старра GOODNIGHT VIENNA вышел в Великобритании 15 ноября 1974 года. Дословно его название переводится на русский язык как "Спокойной ночи, Вена". Однако, на самом деле, в названии альбома скрывается жаргонное ливерпульское выражение типа "Пора сваливать отсюда".

На лицевую сторону обложки пластинки был помещён монтаж, составленный на основе кадра из научно-фантастического фильма The Day the Earth Stood Still ("День, когда Земля остановилась") 1951 года [см. Рис. 1, 2], на котором робот Горт и инопланетянин Rlaatu (с головой Ринго вместо актёра Майкла Рэнни) выходят из летающей тарелки.

Внутренний пакет не имеет вариаций. У него срезаны три угла и широкая выемка для удобства извлечения грампластинки. Страна производства нигде не указана. На одной из сторон внизу расположен логотип фирмы "Apple", номер британского каталога PCS 7168 и код G & L (Garrod & Lofthouse) типографии.

На сбеге дорожек с обеих сторон пластинки рядом с номерами британских матриц находятся американские номера, потому что изначально лакеры были нарезаны Дугом Саксом в The Mastering Lab, США и затем переданы в Великобританию.

Все исходные данные по альбому (авторы композиций, музыканты, благодарности и т.д.) приведены на языке оригинала в англоязычной части примечания.
