In early 1982, with Stop and Smell the Roses still on the charts, Starr was eager to continue the good work and move onto his next project. Deciding that he needed more consistency this time around, he would work with only one producer, Joe Walsh. Joseph Fidler "Joe" Walsh (born November 20, 1947) is an American Guitarist, songwriter and Rock musician He has been a A former member of the recently disbanded Eagles, Walsh and Starr had known each other since the mid-1970s, having met and befriended each other in Los Angeles. Los Angeles (lɑˈsændʒələs los ˈaŋxeles in Spanish) is the largest City in the state of California and the American West Walsh immediately agreed to work with Starr and they met in February to begin writing material.

After John Lennon's murder, Starr no longer felt safe in the US and returned home to England to live at Tittenhurst Park, which Starr ironically purchased from Lennon in 1973. John Winston Ono Lennon, MBE (born England is a Country which is part of the United Kingdom. Its inhabitants account for more than 83% of the total UK population whilst its mainland Tittenhurst Park was the home of John Lennon and Yoko Ono from the late summer of 1969 until August 1971 and then the home of Ringo Starr and family until Having converted Lennon's recording studio into Startling Studios, Starr would record his new album there.

Beginning in March, Starr was joined not only by Walsh, but Gary Brooker (formerly of Procol Harum), The Who's John Entwistle, Ray Cooper and Eric Clapton on one track. Gary Brooker, MBE, (born 29 May 1943) is an English singer Songwriter, Pianist and founder of the Rock band Procol Harum are a British rock band formed in the 1960s which built an important foundation for what would become Progressive rock, or perhaps more The Who are an English rock band formed in 1964. The primary lineup consisted of guitarist Pete Townshend John Alec Entwistle ( October 9, 1944 – June 27, 2002) was an English Bass guitarist, Songwriter, Singer Ray Cooper (born 19 August 1942 in Watford, Hertfordshire) is an English Musician. Eric Patrick Clapton, CBE (born 30 March 1945 is an English Blues-rock Guitarist, singer Songwriter and Composer With none of his usual celebrity mates helping out, this was largely a Starr/Walsh album and the spotlight would be mostly on them. Incidentally, the album's titling of Old Wave is a play on New Wave and an acknowledgment by Starr that an 'old waver' like him is still up to the challenge. New Wave is a Rock music genre that existed during the late 1970s and the 1980s As an indication of his vitality, the cover of the album features a black and white photo of Starr in his pre-Beatles days.

Recording of the album went smoothly and was completed by summer. Unfortunately, with Starr's RCA Records contract cancelled, he needed to find a new label for Old Wave. RCA Records (originally The Victor Talking Machine Company, then RCA Victor is one of the flagship labels of Sony Music Entertainment. The harsh truth was that just over a decade after The Beatles' dissolution, no major UK or US record company was interested in signing him. Starr would not accept that and was determined to have Old Wave released any way he could. RCA Records ended up distributing the album in June 1983 in Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Japan, Holland (who imported German copies and attached a Dutch sticker), Mexico and Brazil, while in Germany, the album and lone single pulled from the album titled "In My Car" appeared on the Bellaphon label.

However - despite its virtues - its lack of success in any of these territories seemed to imply that the UK and US labels were not wrong about Starr's marketability in the early 1980s. Consequently, Old Wave would be Ringo Starr's last studio album until 1992's Time Takes Time. Time Takes Time is Ringo Starr 's 1992 critically acclaimed comeback album

The only 45 pulled from the LP was in Germany: "In My Car / As Far As We Can Go". "In My Car" was covered by Walsh in his 1987 album Got Any Gum?and the song began a moderate hit single. Got Any Gum? is the eighth studio Album by Joe Walsh, released in 1987.

Old Wave was reissued on CD in the US by Capitol Records in 1994 with the original 1978 recording of "As Far As We Can Go" as a bonus track, but was deleted some years later.
