Beatles drummer Ringo Starr has an ebook coming out on June 12 that includes pictures of the band that have never been seen before.

The photographs are accompanied by his own words detailing what is in them, and they include early images and candid shots.

Starr's book - called Photograph, which is also the name of one of his top 10 solo hits 40 years ago - will be released as an ebook, with hand-bound copies published later in the year.

Readers will be able to zoom in on photos and hear audio clips as he narrates the tales behind the images. They include reminiscences of his early years in Liverpool and his spell in hospital, during which he was given his first drum, together with memories of his first car, girlfriends and bands.

Starr has filmed videos for the digital version of the book with interviews, music and animation.

He said of the photos gathered together: "These are shots that no one else could have."

Starr, 72, previously issued a collection of postcards dating back to his Beatles days called Postcards From The Boys, released by Genesis Publications, which is also behind the new book. The ebookwill be sold on the iTunes bookstore from June 12, with a limited edition print version of 2,500 copies out in December.
