"Angel in Disguise" is a song co-written by Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr that has never been released. The song was intended for Ringo's 1992 ''Time Takes Time'' album; however, it did not make it onto the album,〔 and therefore remains an intriguing, publicly unheard song. Had it been released in 1992 it would have been the first McCartney-Starkey composition on record, although there were Beatles songs that were credited to Lennon–McCartney–Starkey and Lennon–McCartney–Harrison–Starkey. McCartney sent Starr an unfinished demo of the song, to which Starr added an extra verse.〔 Backing tracks for the song were recorded on 9 September 1991 at Conway Studios, in Los Angeles, produced by Peter Asher.〔 There have been several documented mentions of the song. From Rolling Stone Magazine, 1992: "Working with (Peter) Asher, Starr recorded a cover of The Posies' "Golden Blunders" and a version of a previously unfinished Paul McCartney composition, "Angel In Disguise", to which Starr added a new verse." 〔Rolling Stone Magazine, 1992〕 From Alan Clayson's biography of Ringo Starr titled "Ringo Starr: Straight Man Or Joker?": Among tracks short-listed were a (Jeff) Lynne original ("Call Me"), Rick Suchow's "What Goes Around" - picked as the singalong finale — a version of Elvis Presley's "Don't Be Cruel", and songs written by Ringo either alone, with Paul McCartney (the remaindered "Angel In Disguise"), or with Johnny Warman."〔Clayson, Alan: "Ringo Starr: Straight Man Or Joker", p. 334〕 It appears that the song written by Rick Suchow ("What Goes Around") was the last song picked for the album, and as a result the McCartney–Starkey song was shelved, and not subsequently released. From the Ringo Starr interview in Beatlefan Magazine, 1992: "You see, they expected that because it's McCartney and Starr, anyone in their right mind would put that on. It just didn't fit the space we needed on the album... this is my best shot, in my opinion, of my album."〔Beatlefan Magazine, 1992〕 ==See also== *"Beautiful Night" 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Angel in Disguise (McCartney–Starr song)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
