Time Takes Time is Ringo Starr's 1992 comeback album. His first studio album since 1983's Old Wave, it followed a successful 1989/1990 world tour jaunt with his All-Starr Band, which greatly revived Starr's confidence to undertake a new studio recording.
Aligning himself with producer Don Was, Starr also worked with Peter Asher, Phil Ramone and Jeff Lynne to create a contemporary, yet honest-sounding album. Time Takes Time also marked Starr's first alliance with Mark Hudson, both of whom would embark on a long-term musical partnership in the ensuing years.
Recorded sporadically, mostly throughout 1991, and predominantly using outside writers, Time Takes Time features celebrity guests in the form of Jeff Lynne, Brian Wilson and Harry Nilsson.
Well-received upon release (with some critics considering it Starr's best album since 1973's Ringo), Time Takes Time still met with indifference by the public, and thus failed to chart. However, lead single "Weight Of The World" managed to reach #74 in the UK, giving Starr his first single entry there since "Only You (And You Alone)" in 1974.
Despite a popular new All-Starr tour in 1992 to promote the album, Time Takes Time would be Ringo Starr's only album with Private Music before he was dropped from their roster. It was also deleted a few years after its release.
