That was a very personal one of mine. In the early days, I ewrote less material than Paul because he was more competent on guitar than I. He taught me quite a lot of guitar, really.

—John Lennon

Ringo had a great style and great delivery. He had a lot of fans, so we liked to write something for him on each album. 'I Don't Want To Spoil The Party' is quite a nice little song, co-written by John and I. It sounds more like John than me so 80-20 to him, sitting down doing a job. Certain songs were inspirational and certain songs were work. It didn't mean they were any less fun to write, it was just a craft, and this was a job to order really, which Ringo did a good job on [sic].

—Paul McCartney, Many Years From Now, 1997
