It features one solo song by each former member of the Beatles: John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison and Ringo Starr. It is the first official release to bring together their solo material (though two Starr solo albums, "Ringo" and "Ringo's Rotogravure", and the 1996 Carl Perkins album "Go Cat Go!" featured contributions from each of the four). The EP was released to promote the iTunes remastering of several solo albums
Ringo Starr the band began an ill-fated film project, "Magical Mystery Tour". Starr's growing interest in photography led to his billing as the movie's Director of Photography, and his participation in the film's editing was matched only by that of McCartney. In February 1968, Starr became the first Beatle to sing on another artist's show without the others. He sang the Buck Owens hit "Act Naturally", and performed a duet with Cilla Black, "Do You Like Me Just a Little Bit?" on her BBC One television programme, "Cilla". In November 1968, Apple Records released "The Beatles", commonly known as the "White Album".
