"Blast From Your Past" is a singles compilation album by Ringo Starr, released on Apple Records in 1975. It is both Starr's first compilation LP and his final release under his contract with EMI, the last album to be released on The Beatles' Apple label until it was revived in the 1990s.Fact|date=July 2008 In 1976, Starr would sign with Atlantic Records in the US and Polydor Records for the rest of the world, with the hopes of continuing his successful career.

The album compiles eight singles, one b-side, and one album track, released between 1970 and 1975. All eight charted on the Billboard Hot 100, with all but "Beaucoups of Blues" making the top ten. Both "Photograph" and "You're Sixteen" topped the chart, while five of the singles charted in the United Kingdom. "Early 1970" was the flipside to "It Don't Come Easy," and "I'm the Greatest" was taken from the album ""Ringo"". "Oh My My" and "You're Sixteen" were taken from the "Ringo" album as well, and "No No Song" was taken from from from the LP "Goodnight Vienna"; all other singles were released ahead of respective albums or as stand-alone issues.

Blast From Your Past provides a well-rounded overview to Starr's musical achievements and productivity as a solo artist during the first half of the 1970s. Although it failed to chart in the UK (even with releasing "Oh My My" from "Ringo" as a UK single in early 1976), it reached #30 in the US. It was reissued on CD in 1987 and has not been upgraded or remastered. Nor is it likely to be, as all ten tracks were included on "," Starr's 2007 career retrospective.
