Blast From Your Past is Ringo Starr's first official compilation album, released in 1975. It is also Starr's final release under his contract with EMI, and was the last album to be released on The Beatles' Apple Records label. In 1976, Starr would sign with Atlantic Records in the US and Polydor Records for the rest of the world with the hopes of continuing his successful career.
Encompassing material from 1970's Beaucoups of Blues to his succeeding hit albums, Ringo and Goodnight Vienna in 1973 and 1974 respectively, while also including single-only releases, Blast From Your Past provides a well-rounded overview to Starr's musical achievements as a solo artist thus far. Although it failed to chart in the UK (even with releasing "Oh My My" from Ringo as a UK single in early 1976), it reached #30 in the US.
Blast From Your Past was reissued on CD in 1987 and has - as of yet - not been upgraded or remastered.
