Former beetles' band member Ringo Star has turned to a different kind of modern technology with his latest album release. As well as a more traditional CD release, and availability as a digital download, Starr's new studio album "Liverpool 8" will be sold as a USB wristband. A USB may hurt the legal authorities a bit as it may lead to rampant piracy among listeners. Nevertheless Ringo starr may have thought it's the grooviest way to mark a return & cause a stir. Les just hope the songs are worth the extra effort.

Available on 15th January 2008, it's not the first wristband launch we've seen, but it is possibly a debut for someone of the older rock star generation. Anyone opting for the wristband version will be well rewarded, as as well as the album pre-loaded, the USB version offers a personal video message, interview and track commentary from Ringo Starr, behind-the-scenes making-of footage from the recording sessions, ringtones, photos and more.
