Liverpool 8 is the fifteenth studio album by Ringo Starr, released worldwide on 14 January 2008. Received with mixed reviews, it marks Starr's return to EMI for the first time since leaving the label in 1975, following the end of The Beatles' recording contract with the company.
Background
The album was originally planned for release in June 2007, and began as another production by the collaborative team of Mark Hudson and Starr (the two had previously co-produced Vertical Man, I Wanna Be Santa Claus, VH1 Storytellers, Ringo Rama, and Choose Love). However, the release date was pushed back to the beginning of 2008 when Hudson was replaced by Dave Stewart after a falling out with Starr. The album's production credits read, "Produced by Ringo Starr and Mark Hudson; Re-Produced by Ringo Starr and David Stewart."
All of the songs but one were written with the Roundheads, although Stewart also has several co-writing credits. Starr's attorney Bruce Grakal told journalist Peter Palmiere that the partnership between Hudson and Starr was over and they would never work together again. This happened after Hudson dropped out of Starr's 2006 tour as musical director to do the TV show The One: Making a Music Star. According to Palmiere, Hudson claimed that the split was over Starr's insistence on using synthesized sounds, for which Stewart is known, whereas Hudson wanted real guitars, pianos, strings etc. However, concerning the parting of ways with Hudson, Starr commented, "The separation between Mark Hudson and myself was a question of trust and friendship and had nothing to do with synthesizers."
"Mars Needs Guitars" (B side), was written by all five Gurus (James Baker, Clyde Bramley, Faulkner, Mark Kingsmill and Brad Shepherd) and lead vocals were by Brad Shepherd.
It was also released in 1985 in the United States by Elektra with "Bring the Hoodoo Down" as the B-side, and in the United Kingdom as a 12" single by Chrysalis Records with two B-sides, "Bring the Hoodoo Down" & "Turkey Dinner".
Cover versions & others
Courtney Love provided lead vocals for her band Hole's version of "Bittersweet" with Faulkner's backing vocals at Hole's 1999 Big Day Out performance.
The song "Bittersweet" was used in the video game MVP Baseball 2004.

"Bittersweet" (Dave Faulkner) — 3:46

Bittersweet is a collaborative cover album of jazz standards and broken hearts between American musician Mark Isham and Australian vocalist Kate Ceberano This is Ceberano's first jazz album in twenty years. The album received an ARIA nomination for Best Jazz Album at the 2009 ARIA Awards.
Background & Recording
Isham and Ceberano had performed together at the Sundance Film Festival in 2003 and they'd been keen to record an album together. In early 2009, Ceberano flew to Isham's five-acre estate outside Los Angeles and recorded the album in his home studio. The pair recorded the album live without overdubs in just three days.
Track listing

Reviews
Larry Crane of TapeOp said of the album, "A backing band of Alan Pasqua (piano), Tom Warrington (bass) and Peter Erskine (drums) doesn't hurt in catching the late night, smoky vibe of these mostly downtempo tracks. With top players and the singer laying down tracks live in a room, the depth and dynamics in this recording are a pleasure."
Kramer was born in Rochester Hills, Michigan, United States, to Nora and Martin Kramer. She is of German Chilean, Croatian and French ancestry. Jana has one brother Steve who is a police officer. Jana attended Rochester Adams High School. She speaks some German.
Love, or more uncommon Lowe, is a Swedish version of the French name Louis. It can also be a version of Lovisa, and can thus be used both for men and women, although it is more common with men.
The name is uncommon amongst adults; there are less than 200 men older than 30 in Sweden with the name, but several hundreds from every cohort born in the 1990s. 31 December 2009, there was in total 6,058 men in Sweden with the name Love/Lowe, of which 2,953 had it as first nnameame, the rest as middle name. There were also 531 women with the name, of which 128 had it as given name.
In 2003, 344 boys got the name, and of those, 182 got it as given name. The same year, 24 girls got the name, of which 6 got it as given name.
The name day in Sweden is 2 October (1986-1992: 3 December; 1993-2000: 26 November).
A tennistournament is organized into matches between players (for singles tournaments) or teams of two players (for doubles tournaments). The matches of a tournament are grouped into rounds. In round 1, all players (or teams) are paired and play against each other in matches. The losers are said to leave, or be out. They no longer compete in the tournament (this is single elimination). The winners are again paired to play in the matches of the next round. The tournament continues until the quarterfinal round (having eight players or teams playing in pairs), then the semifinal round (having four players or teams playing in pairs), and finally the final round (having only two players or teams) are played. The winner of the final round is declared the winner of the entire tournament.
A tennis match is composed of points, games, and sets. A match is won when a player or a doubles team wins the majority of prescribed sets. Traditionally, matches are either a best of three sets or best of five sets format. The best of five set format is typically only played in the Men's singles or doubles matches at Majors and Davis Cup matches.

Once in a lifetime You look in someone's eyes And it feels like the world stops Turning at once Well, that's what it felt like for me I knew right away this day would be Standing together, believing forever Is there in our reach As love is my witness I swear I'll be with you 'til the end Nothing can tear this love apart I'll put my hand upon my heart This is the promise I make to you Whatever comes we'll see it through Nothing can break it, feeling's too strong As love is my witness We've both known sorrow We have known heartache When our dreams for tomorrow Seemed so far away But that brought us closer, yeah It brought us together So that we'd know the real thing That's why I can say As love is my witness, I swear I'll be with you 'til the end Nothing can tear this love apart I'll put my hand upon my heart This is the promise I make to you Whatever comes we'll see it through Nothing can break it, this feeling's too strong As love is my witness I know whatever comes to be Together we'll face the mystery Here in my heart, deep in my soul Somehow I know, I know As love is my witness I swear I'll be with you 'til the end Nothing can tear this love apart I'll put my hand upon my heart This is the promise I make to you Whatever comes we'll see it through Nothing can break it, the feeling's too strong As love is my witness Nothing can break it, this feeling's too strong
