Scouse The Mouse, a children’s album featuring the voice of Ringo Starr in the title role, was released in the United Kingdom on 9 December 1977.
The album, about a mouse who emigrates from Liverpool to the USA, was written, directed and narrated by Donald Pleasence, with songs mostly composed by Roger Brown. Also appearing on Scouse The Mouse were Adam Faith and Barbara Dickson.
With the album’s release Starr concluded his three-album deal with Polydor in the UK. Scouse The Mouse was not issued in the USA.
