(To date, there hasn't been an <i>Original Musiquarium II</i>, but I digress). On this album, he included four new tracks, all of which were also released as singles and became sizable hits.</p><p>I don't know if the four songs were specifically recorded for this compilation, they were leftover tracks from previous albums or if Wonder had originally penned them for a new album. Whatever the case, I wanted to take the four songs and see if I could find other stray tracks from the same period to create what could have been a new studio album for 1982 instead of a greatest hits package.</p><p>SIDE A</p><p>1. Front Line</p><p>2. Ribbon in the Sky</p><p>3. Stay Gold</p><p>4. What's That You're Doing?</p><p>SIDE B</p><p>1. That Girl</p><p>2. Front Line Revisited (instrumental)</p><p>3. Do I Do</p><p>Besides the four new tracks -- "Front Line," "Ribbon in the Sky," "That Girl" and "Do I Do," I also included "Stay Gold" from the soundtrack of the film "The Outsiders." Interestingly, when "The Outsiders" was rereleased several years later, director Francis Ford Coppola decided the score by his father Carmine (who co-wrote "Stay Gold") wasn't right for the film, and he changed the music. So moving the song to this album kind of saves it.</p><p>In addition, I included Wonder's collaboration with Paul McCartney, "What's That You're Doing?" It's actually not that uncommon for two singers to do a duet and then have the song appear on both of their respective solo albums (see "My Little Town" by Paul Simon and Art Garfunkel). Plus, "What's That You're Doing?" always seems out of place on McCartney's <i>Tug of War</i> album, and I think fits better here.</p><p>Finally, to fill out the album, I added the instrumental version of "Front Line" (found on the B-side of the single) to act as a coda before launching into the epic 10 1/2-minute "Do I Do" that concludes the album. Both sides end up clocking in at a little over 21 minutes.</p><p>I think overall this is a pretty good album with a nice musical variety and would have fit in well as a followup to Wonder's 1980 album <i>Hotter Than July</i>. Plus, the four tracks from <i>Original Musiquarium I</i> are allowed to better shine here.</p><p>I titled the album <i>Front Line</i> since I use two different versions of the song, and I repurposed the single's cover for the album cover after I did a little Photoshopping.</p><p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLunwkaXWmD5oJ3qY4WuXjTC3XGantJKBz" target="_blank">Listen to the YouTube playlist</a>.</p>AEChttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18058398429644647446noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4765897099031396863.post-12414532151051345782024-02-04T12:34:00.000-08:002024-02-04T12:34:00.138-08:00Van Halen - "Zero"<p><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgBJrgbSiN2D-BPmSaHK_U2eiNh3DcOXJVtVoDkkFDvcViw7AMt5DM9ThU4rvz4hqQI0ZrLycAvb7UgC6d1kMrhe75dI-_W89Z_rxzj0levF1rc_0cHKBTfvAydFNjo4Ef6V27aVcPHGZ-B5zVz2b4qyGHrH2GuVRhdtb1mi_Njt8sR8b99-XRwepdO/s1798/Cover.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1798" data-original-width="1798" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgBJrgbSiN2D-BPmSaHK_U2eiNh3DcOXJVtVoDkkFDvcViw7AMt5DM9ThU4rvz4hqQI0ZrLycAvb7UgC6d1kMrhe75dI-_W89Z_rxzj0levF1rc_0cHKBTfvAydFNjo4Ef6V27aVcPHGZ-B5zVz2b4qyGHrH2GuVRhdtb1mi_Njt8sR8b99-XRwepdO/s320/Cover.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><p></p><p>Van Halen famously had a 25-song demo tape that made the rounds as the band was searching for a record deal. Over the years, nearly all of those songs (in one form or another) made it onto regular albums, some being included on the band’s last album in 2012. </p><p>I wanted to create an album of any leftover tracks from the band's pre-record deal that could be cobbled together into a DIY album for 1977.</p><p>SIDE A</p><p>1.<span style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Piece of Mind</p><p>2.<span style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Young and Wild</p><p>3.<span style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Woman in Love</p><p>4.<span style="white-space: pre;"> </span>I Wanna Be Your Lover</p><p>5.<span style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Babe, Don’t Leave Me Alone</p><p><br /></p><p>SIDE B</p><p>1.<span style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Light in the Sky</p><p>2.<span style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Angel Eyes</p><p>3.<span style="white-space: pre;"> </span>We Die Bold</p><p>4.<span style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Get the Show on the Road</p><p>5.<span style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Gonna Take a Lot of Drugs</p><p>I sort of considered this exercise as an alternate universe where the band got tired of waiting for a record deal and issued its own low-budget album to sell at shows. Sadly, all the demos that you find on bootlegs sound like third or forth generation recordings, but they're at least listenable.</p><p>There are some demos from earlier than 1976 floating around the interwebs, but the sound quality on them is not very good. The one exception I made was the inclusion of “Angel Eyes” from 1974 because I simply needed at least one more track. I could be wrong, but I think David Lee Roth is the only one actually performing on the track with vocals and guitar. Besides that song and "Woman in Love" and "Babe, Don't Leave Me Alone" (both from 1976), the rest of the tracks are from 1977.</p><p>There's a bit of "Get the Show on the Road" that was later used in the song "Romeo's Delight," but I decided that it was different enough to include here. "Gonna Take a Lot of Drugs" was a joke recording of Roth and Michael Anthony singing different lyrics to Nicolette Larson's "Lotta Love" which had been produced by their producer Ted Templeman. It's doubtful this ever would have been made commercially available, but I thought it was a humorous way to end the album.</p><p>For a cover, I chose the rejected cover for the first album. The photo is ridiculous in so many ways with Alex Van Halen looking like the leader, Roth looking asleep, Anthony looking scared and Eddie Van Halen looking mad. And the cover overall looks like it belongs to some new wave group. But it captures the band members as they were at the time. <i>Zero </i>has been used as a title by others for compilations of the band's demos (as opposed to <i>Van Halen I</i> and <i>Van Halen II</i>), and I figured it was just as good as any other so I adopted it as well.</p><div><br /></div>AEChttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18058398429644647446noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4765897099031396863.post-2802503854401688032024-01-07T12:34:00.132-08:002024-01-09T13:53:52.635-08:00Elvis Presley Discography, 1969 - 1977.<p><span style="font-family: arial;">I debated on whether to delve into a third reimagined discography
for Elvis Presley. But after digging into recording session details and other
info, I decided to give it a shot. Plus, his 89th birthday is tomorrow. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">The primary problem with Elvis’
discography in the 1970s is the perplexing number of compilation albums, many
with no rhyme or reason in their song selection. These coupled with numerous live
albums and actual new material created a glut of music being released that
competed with itself and confused the public.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="line-height: 17.12px;"><span>There’s an odd thing about album covers for Elvis during this time period. Apparently after more than a decade of sitting for professional publicity portraits for albums, movies and whatever else, Elvis refused to do any more. And therefore, the record company started using photos of Elvis performing on stage for nearly every album. </span></span><span>I think this gives the false impression to the general public that Elvis released more live albums than he actually did. That’s not to say there weren’t more live albums than necessary in the 1970s -- there were five between 1969 and 1974. However, I assume RCA Records had a graphic arts shop and could have been a little more imaginative (</span><i>Elvis Country</i><span> is a good, rare example).</span><span> So, I’ve attempted to find or create better covers for several of the albums. </span></span></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjiX31ujylKEyOsPPa1xNr6Ph9KNwLBLV6Lty_8zIDB0Xfc-QcSWaUcUNSpuf0NifZQjuRO8JmcXim9pKGwN8iA4vI6bI9_yZ3FwkeJFv9MGWHCVAGkjIVa7SvmA_fb4genZXj2IQnVFwip3rEdpkG_mwJ7XFCFaIyunDwadIk5VOCny-XKD6HH9qPW4js/s1000/From%20Elvis%20in%20Memphis%20cover.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1000" data-original-width="1000" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjiX31ujylKEyOsPPa1xNr6Ph9KNwLBLV6Lty_8zIDB0Xfc-QcSWaUcUNSpuf0NifZQjuRO8JmcXim9pKGwN8iA4vI6bI9_yZ3FwkeJFv9MGWHCVAGkjIVa7SvmA_fb4genZXj2IQnVFwip3rEdpkG_mwJ7XFCFaIyunDwadIk5VOCny-XKD6HH9qPW4js/s320/From%20Elvis%20in%20Memphis%20cover.jpg" width="320" /></span></a></div><p></p><p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-family: arial;"><b>FROM ELVIS IN MEMPHIS</b> <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-family: arial;">SIDE A<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-family: arial;">1.

Without Love (There Is Nothing) </span></p><p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-family: arial;">At first, I wasn’t sure this album needed to be tinkered with.
It’s one of the few of Elvis’ that is highly praised. But <i>From Elvis in
Memphis</i> and the follow-up <i>Back in Memphis</i> are made up of tracks from
two different recording sessions: Jan. 13-23 and Feb. 17-22. I thought it would
be interesting to put only January tracks on the first album and February
tracks on the second, and leaving all the A-sides of singles off the albums
entirely.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;"><span><span>There’s something absurd about calling an album </span><i>From Elvis in Memphis</i><span> and showing him performing on a Hollywood soundstage on the album cover. So f</span>or this particular cover, I found an image already created and just added the title.</span></span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial; line-height: 107%;"></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: arial; line-height: 107%;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgwYy5sAwTZ1pUnHzLtGUYnRA7ozvieDRkndztvwU-R4cop4fF_Hl98HrcDUnRvF4l6I0xoI52HvXLUuPVuPIcMXF39gb7aYFTj46XoM18veYxrbWwoDw3AD1Bt0Tv__tfs7jDXTcqnnkTgBg-GVFVS5Hf2ceGWR-jj_F4gIY2GpE6qmVB7kkSwgaM2BB0/s1280/Back%20in%20Memphis%20cover.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1267" data-original-width="1280" height="317" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgwYy5sAwTZ1pUnHzLtGUYnRA7ozvieDRkndztvwU-R4cop4fF_Hl98HrcDUnRvF4l6I0xoI52HvXLUuPVuPIcMXF39gb7aYFTj46XoM18veYxrbWwoDw3AD1Bt0Tv__tfs7jDXTcqnnkTgBg-GVFVS5Hf2ceGWR-jj_F4gIY2GpE6qmVB7kkSwgaM2BB0/s320/Back%20in%20Memphis%20cover.jpg" width="320" /></a></span></div><p></p><p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-family: arial;"><b>BACK IN MEMPHIS</b> <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-family: arial;">SIDE A<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-family: arial;">1.

</span></span></p><p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-family: arial;">The album was originally released as part of a two-record set
along with a live album from Las Vegas. And the following year, both albums
were released individually. When this came out, calling this album of leftovers
<i>Back in Memphis</i> didn’t make much sense. But in this new configuration,
all the tracks are from the February 1969 sessions, so this is now actually a
return to the Memphis studio following the previous recording sessions in
January. I’ve made this album longer than the original with the addition of two
extra tracks. I used some existing artwork I found to create this cover.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span></p><p class="MsoNoSpacing"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEizvp-owXg1NFyW_wf3MgWXTQ1FZjNt46goTYjKFxyGx0LtJnYtWt-XfDwtq8SKNeSdkKzEdgpEv9fMTJxfvKZx5-ckVLlnOJQMxhZ3OWmWNpemSpXVzgWsF-gTvdp1gp4yGuN7T6bwPt3HM0AUapFI4JQSXa5Wbdln95UuAoWmhISMxJb5Q5R0v0yKC7w/s450/From-Elvis-In-Nashville-booklet-cv-.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><img border="0" data-original-height="448" data-original-width="450" height="319" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEizvp-owXg1NFyW_wf3MgWXTQ1FZjNt46goTYjKFxyGx0LtJnYtWt-XfDwtq8SKNeSdkKzEdgpEv9fMTJxfvKZx5-ckVLlnOJQMxhZ3OWmWNpemSpXVzgWsF-gTvdp1gp4yGuN7T6bwPt3HM0AUapFI4JQSXa5Wbdln95UuAoWmhISMxJb5Q5R0v0yKC7w/s320/From-Elvis-In-Nashville-booklet-cv-.jpg" width="320" /></span></a></div><p></p><p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-family: arial;"><b>ELVIS IN NASHVILLE</b></span></p><p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="background: white; color: #222222; line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: arial;">I previously worked

</span></p><p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="background: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;">The idea behind this album was to
take several country songs from the recording sessions and put them together
into a sort of concept album. This is one of the very few Elvis albums that
some actual thought was put into creating it, so I decided not to mess with it
too much. However, I don't think “Snowbird,” a very recent hit for Anne Murray, was the best way to start the album. So, I shuffled the songs a little. "I Washed My Hands in the Muddy Water" is a much more energetic and gripping opening track, especially the long, nearly five-minute version. Also, throughout the original album are snippets of the song “I was Born About
Ten Thousand Years Ago” and I think the album would have benefitted with the
song in its entirety also being included at the end, which I've done here. I used the FTD cover (which I prefer) for their alternate version of this album.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="background: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;"><br /></span></p><p class="MsoNoSpacing"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjAv3s9WoWHqBaF87OmuuU38QY-du185rX4jz5C_ANB6jJ7hbkQIn9yHGH2Uq0Ogi7yUxdh7gqgyyH78jRdGe1zM20MiCmR_COJR03rjnhjAj_x516XvRk1AaP7Zrh04K8SDiag2Q-9uGhofPfLlxP-MJ6u8VNboY8UCcMwq6ZT3URJYRpNsVFZq9hWt3M/s1765/Love%20Letters%20cover.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1579" data-original-width="1765" height="286" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjAv3s9WoWHqBaF87OmuuU38QY-du185rX4jz5C_ANB6jJ7hbkQIn9yHGH2Uq0Ogi7yUxdh7gqgyyH78jRdGe1zM20MiCmR_COJR03rjnhjAj_x516XvRk1AaP7Zrh04K8SDiag2Q-9uGhofPfLlxP-MJ6u8VNboY8UCcMwq6ZT3URJYRpNsVFZq9hWt3M/s320/Love%20Letters%20cover.jpg" width="320" /></span></a></div><p></p><p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-family: arial;"><b><span style="background: white; color: #222222; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;">LOVE LETTERS FROM ELVIS</span></b><span style="background: white; color: #222222; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;"> <o:p></o:p></span></span></p><p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-family: arial;">SIDE A<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-family: arial;">1.

</span></p><p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="background: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;">This album has pretty much all the
leftovers from the June 1970 recording sessions that don’t appear on <i>Elvis
Country</i> or my remade <i>Elvis in Nashville</i>. I thought “Love Letters,” a
remake of a song he recorded and released back in 1967, was a bad way to open the
album. “Cindy Cindy” is much more energetic, so I used that as the opening
track, and shuffled the rest. Finally, I added “Where Did They Go, Lord?” to
make the album longer and to end it with a song that’s a bit more powerful than
“Life.” I used some artwork I found online and did some altering in Photoshop to create the cover.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="background: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;"><br /></span></p><p class="MsoNoSpacing"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgads5yj0k6fRmfgR2DQ7jsNDSc7rydrlc2GaBKd1Q8-PljRL6PwBVMiLd4FfZroNyfFpSUciqwFzaqhSghQi-Fy6s-jbOBSdoeiYP5PsYd2YZdRCLYwaEvjaye6NhcUTI3Wkwa7H3yHcU_z0mhg0iVX52MblnNotCZ2RrePQN4dWuygZym29tLTd10Rx8/s1417/the-wonderful-world-of-christmas.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1417" data-original-width="1417" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgads5yj0k6fRmfgR2DQ7jsNDSc7rydrlc2GaBKd1Q8-PljRL6PwBVMiLd4FfZroNyfFpSUciqwFzaqhSghQi-Fy6s-jbOBSdoeiYP5PsYd2YZdRCLYwaEvjaye6NhcUTI3Wkwa7H3yHcU_z0mhg0iVX52MblnNotCZ2RrePQN4dWuygZym29tLTd10Rx8/s320/the-wonderful-world-of-christmas.jpg" width="320" /></span></a></div><span style="background: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;"><br /></span><p></p><p class="MsoNoSpacing"><b><span style="font-family: arial;">ELVIS SINGS THE WONDERFUL WORLD OF CHRISTMAS</span></b></p><p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="background: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;">

</p><p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-family: arial;">This album needed some TLC. Although there were enough tracks from
1971 sessions to make a full album, for some reason it was decided to throw in
leftovers from January 1969 and June 1970. The result was a mishmash and
definitely not “now.” I removed the three older tracks and added four. I also
removed “Miracle of the Rosary” and moved it to the next album. As
released, <i>Elvis Now</i> was a short album and my version is a little more than five minutes longer. But I think the important thing is that it's now more contemporary. I found this burnt orange artwork online and thought it would make the perfect cover once I did a little altering.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg1ING3v-kMWepCusOlHQ8wSwRdkjRdcr5xUH8UBMiN2HeAe7u4V3GndFGPsur2DULQxwRtzELKvZPkDACVJmp4JhZYOzRe-GUThr8CP-2dg8KPMgYOBaUF4uDEPzQJs-8tDPizBGyEUXUk1yalNGLuZOgTKklisKPsGqfidjX0S5gdxjuwmEu5-qvutfc/s603/Amazing%20Grace.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><img border="0" data-original-height="603" data-original-width="600" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg1ING3v-kMWepCusOlHQ8wSwRdkjRdcr5xUH8UBMiN2HeAe7u4V3GndFGPsur2DULQxwRtzELKvZPkDACVJmp4JhZYOzRe-GUThr8CP-2dg8KPMgYOBaUF4uDEPzQJs-8tDPizBGyEUXUk1yalNGLuZOgTKklisKPsGqfidjX0S5gdxjuwmEu5-qvutfc/s320/Amazing%20Grace.jpg" width="318" /></span></a></div><p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-family: arial;"><b>AMAZING GRACE</b> <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-family: arial;">SIDE A<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-family: arial;">1.

</p><p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-family: arial;">In 1972, Elvis released a contemporary gospel album titled <i>He
Touched Me</i>. Despite the sentiment of the title song, an album titled <i>He Touched
Me</i> just sounds wrong. So I’ve retitled it <i>Amazing Grace</i> and used the album
cover from a compilation album titled <i>You’ll Never Walk Alone.</i> The only changes I made to the track listing were removing "A Thing Called Love" (a non-gospel song that had no reason to be here) and adding the song “Miracle of the Rosary” (which was recorded during the same sessions and I’m not sure why it
wasn’t included originally).<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi7F_BqqqC0KAeKPhTyxScc4A08U2OooG1pVnW5ulHDzlRkrsKsg7_qiZjsGSiwQkIXqN9PTt7T3DV3roRuyWjgQzT6BFumNQ-Cjz4w9Ma3Qt7PRvULMnomxm94JmgtRnEeKfweOHU0a5pTDBoqUyZYrk1h6RsU7pRvcVxfDiHEv_OaRqByGgdCbAUN77g/s816/Burning%20Love%20cover.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><img border="0" data-original-height="765" data-original-width="816" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi7F_BqqqC0KAeKPhTyxScc4A08U2OooG1pVnW5ulHDzlRkrsKsg7_qiZjsGSiwQkIXqN9PTt7T3DV3roRuyWjgQzT6BFumNQ-Cjz4w9Ma3Qt7PRvULMnomxm94JmgtRnEeKfweOHU0a5pTDBoqUyZYrk1h6RsU7pRvcVxfDiHEv_OaRqByGgdCbAUN77g/s320/Burning%20Love%20cover.jpg" width="320" /></span></a></div><p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-family: arial;"><b>BURNING LOVE</b> <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-family: arial;">SIDE A<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-family: arial;">1.

album to feature Elvis’ last big hit, “Burning Love.” Instead, RCA strangely
attached the new tracks “Burning Love,” “It’s a Matter of Time,” “Separate
Ways” and “Always on My Mind” onto two horrible compilation albums of random
tracks Elvis had recorded in the 1950s and 1960s. It’s beyond a headscratcher –
it’s something close to a crime. RCA kind of tried to rectify the mistake in 1999
with a <i>Burning Love</i> album that included most of the tracks of the time period,
but also included live tracks.</span></p><p class="MsoNoSpacing">
</p><p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-family: arial;">Perhaps the biggest problem was that Elvis only recorded seven tracks during the March 1972 sessions – not enough for an album, even a short
one. What I’ve done here is take all seven tracks recorded in March 1972 and
added "My Way," "Love Me, Love the Life I Lead," "I will be True," "(That's What You Get) For Lovin' Me" and "A Thing Called Love," all of which were recorded the previous year. For the album cover, I had fun throwing the kitchen sink at it -- different existing art, Photoshop maneuvering, fonts, etc.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjisn6LymRx9jSNKlVcd8I4_W9THTVM-exSpZUMLeoHTtoYAm7H7ttkJLDaHxXC67q7M-ouugKf9ONL9FdR0UdTtPHCNeOt1usB5ueQbilkMkOcwdsr03f-Hy8vpUplVxrS7akDrz1EB1lNmWdsM3CX9RkIBuyeTatFhliJj5keriuUKjzApFy6q4wdzZ0/s1000/Raised%20on%20Rock%20cover.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1000" data-original-width="1000" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjisn6LymRx9jSNKlVcd8I4_W9THTVM-exSpZUMLeoHTtoYAm7H7ttkJLDaHxXC67q7M-ouugKf9ONL9FdR0UdTtPHCNeOt1usB5ueQbilkMkOcwdsr03f-Hy8vpUplVxrS7akDrz1EB1lNmWdsM3CX9RkIBuyeTatFhliJj5keriuUKjzApFy6q4wdzZ0/s320/Raised%20on%20Rock%20cover.jpg" width="320" /></span></a></div><p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-family: arial;"><b>RAISED ON ROCK</b><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-family: arial;">SIDE A<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-family: arial;">1.

</p><p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-family: arial;">The original version of this album had 10 tracks even though 12
had been recorded in the sessions of July 1973. Both “I've Got a Thing About You, Baby” and “Take Good Care of Her” were
left off for a single, and eventually included on the next album. I rectify the
issue by including all the tracks from the sessions. I've never understood the double title of this album, <i>Raised on Rock / For Ol' Times Sake</i>. Seems like people couldn't make up their minds.

Or maybe it was just a coincidence of the words Good Time(s) being in two of the song titles. A total of 18 songs were recorded during sessions in December 1973, and they would be used to make up both the <i>Good Times</i> and <i>Promised Land</i> albums. I "fix" <i>Good Times</i> by including only tracks recorded during these sessions, and that means adding "Your Love's Been a Long Time Coming" and "It's Midnight." The titles of these two songs also refer to time and now maybe in this configuration of <i>Good Times</i> really is some type of loose concept album. Not my favorite album cover, but trying to find usable, non-perfomance photos for the right time period can be daunting.</span></span></div><p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="background: white; color: #222222; line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span></span></p><p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="background: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial; line-height: 107%;"></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiw2Ul8LziWmxbtQFekFMWGMumcnnYTWjnydbWwaf9a5-1gQ7wnEe4svSmqcgFdoKWH957lobBMT9MFaAHE5kjvjVtY8fG5pX7gv6dd5iYfQIiCnM-HpcGtQThJGZr91CJFiCqnE1JIdR449MESMVk0-o-bPuxRQH_xcK4aHw-o8F8YO9prFvToVYn_tlA/s627/Having%20Fun%20with%20Elvis%20cover%20with%20boxcar%20logo.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><img border="0" data-original-height="627" data-original-width="624" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiw2Ul8LziWmxbtQFekFMWGMumcnnYTWjnydbWwaf9a5-1gQ7wnEe4svSmqcgFdoKWH957lobBMT9MFaAHE5kjvjVtY8fG5pX7gv6dd5iYfQIiCnM-HpcGtQThJGZr91CJFiCqnE1JIdR449MESMVk0-o-bPuxRQH_xcK4aHw-o8F8YO9prFvToVYn_tlA/s320/Having%20Fun%20with%20Elvis%20cover%20with%20boxcar%20logo.jpg" width="318" /></span></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span></div><p></p><p class="MsoNoSpacing"><b><span style="font-family: arial;">HAVING FUN WITH ELVIS<o:p></o:p></span></b></p><p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-family: arial;">SIDE A<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-family: arial;">1.

Stranger in My Own Hometown (rehearsal – July 1970)</span></p><p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-family: arial;">In 1974, Elvis' manager Col. Tom Parker had one of his more bumbleheaded ideas: release
an Elvis Presley album with no music. <i>Having Fun with Elvis on Stage</i> is
just Elvis on stage telling various silly jokes, asking for glasses of water
and chatting with the audience or band members. It’s considered by many to be
one of the worst albums ever released. Parker apparently thought that a record
without music meant that he and Elvis could keep all the profits, not realizing the
contract with RCA (<i>that he’d signed and negotiated</i>) stipulated that the record
company had the rights to anything Elvis recorded.</span></p><p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="background: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial; line-height: 107%;">
</span></p><p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-family: arial;">So, for this project, the obvious move might be to just ignore this album. But we now know from the many, many posthumous Elvis album releases
that several jam sessions and rehearsals resulted in songs that weren’t issued
while he was alive. And it occurred to me that you could create an album that
if not great would at least be a lot more interesting than banal stage banter. The photo I used is a bit out of focus, but I thought it was OK given that the songs here were not meant to be polished. I included the Boxcar Records logo.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgSzH3QSQgCf6C_6jC0OwKKwnfICffm9vguppCtR_rkY5rEeyImq7Uajo0RgCx8CPKeHMlc1l1IdIaUa2mIOnuilfTVAgFEE1XQQWwn5hAsiQZ57tZKYiMq7WmwDqCk2l6tThqmftanVyi8Sl-QkHGdfJegEKKG-hGuAGfYMCPM0BUHOffGsWfy1PDD_do/s722/Promised%20Land%20cover.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><img border="0" data-original-height="719" data-original-width="722" height="319" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgSzH3QSQgCf6C_6jC0OwKKwnfICffm9vguppCtR_rkY5rEeyImq7Uajo0RgCx8CPKeHMlc1l1IdIaUa2mIOnuilfTVAgFEE1XQQWwn5hAsiQZ57tZKYiMq7WmwDqCk2l6tThqmftanVyi8Sl-QkHGdfJegEKKG-hGuAGfYMCPM0BUHOffGsWfy1PDD_do/s320/Promised%20Land%20cover.jpg" width="320" /></span></a></div><p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-family: arial;"><b>PROMISED LAND</b><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-family: arial;">SIDE A<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-family: arial;">1.

</p><p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-family: arial;">For <i>Promised Land</i>, we have only eight tracks left over from the December 1973 sessions that also produced the songs for <i>Good Times </i>(Elvis didn't record anything in a studio the entire year of 1974). So, I had to find two songs to fill out the album. I added "The Twelfth of Never," which was actually recorded during a rehearsal in August 1974, and a jam from March 1975 of "Tiger Man," which kind of makes a fun ending. But to use "Tiger Man," this album would need to be released probably no earlier than May 1975, five months after the real album was released. The sound quality of "The Twelfth of Never" is not quite up to snuff, but is OK. After searching high and low for Elvis photos I thought would work with the album title, I finally gave up and went a different direction and used this sunset (or is it sunrise?) over a field that I found online.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhCFljVDctbJzKMWaxiOzd1AHMOBjOqlT5-AdoaKBxF4m8OQn6vWZ5-1KPy7v2PsHv9Oosr6vcbE3oV6tZ3c2sltrp_KkvvKWf8RNyKtSFtWtYOGW-i1D9RUKD0xLQvTF8PsDl7PHRdVnKAARxO08zNstVnmCuCapb4uMPe1dIaMaysQwpsITq-FlcA1rM/s275/Elvis%20Today%20cover.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><img border="0" data-original-height="269" data-original-width="275" height="282" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhCFljVDctbJzKMWaxiOzd1AHMOBjOqlT5-AdoaKBxF4m8OQn6vWZ5-1KPy7v2PsHv9Oosr6vcbE3oV6tZ3c2sltrp_KkvvKWf8RNyKtSFtWtYOGW-i1D9RUKD0xLQvTF8PsDl7PHRdVnKAARxO08zNstVnmCuCapb4uMPe1dIaMaysQwpsITq-FlcA1rM/w288-h282/Elvis%20Today%20cover.jpg" width="288" /></span></a></div><p class="MsoNoSpacing"><b><span style="font-family: arial;">ELVIS TODAY</span></b></p><p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-family: arial;">Ten tracks were recorded in March 1975 and all were used for the <i>Elvis

Moody Blue </span></p><p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-family: arial;">In February 1976, a recording session took place at Elvis’ Memphis home
Graceland. Elvis was becoming less and less interested in recording, so it was
hoped that the comforts of home might help. A dozen tracks were recorded, but
instead of using all 12 for a new album, two songs were held for a future single. For
this reimagined album, I used all the songs from the session, which required a
little change in the track listing. And since I’m including the song “Moody
Blue,” I decided to take the title for what was to be the
follow-up album. I wish I could find a better-quality version of this photo, but it kind of reminds me of the cover art for <i>Bob Dylan's Greatest Hits </i>although that wasn't my intention.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span></p><p class="MsoNoSpacing"><b><span style="font-family: arial;">LAST SESSION<o:p></o:p></span></b></p><p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-family: arial;">In late October 1976, Elvis recorded four songs (“It’s Easy for
You,” “Way Down,” “Pledging My Love” and “He’ll Have to Go”), and that was it
before he died. Four tracks are obviously not enough for an album and I’m going
with the idea that they were used for two final singles that could be used on a
future greatest hits compilation album of some sort.</span></p><p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-family: arial;">Between Jan. 1, 1969, and the day Elvis died on Aug. 16, 1977, RCA released 14 studio albums, five live albums, seven compilation albums, 12 budget albums, two box sets and one all-talk album. That's 41 albums in less than nine years. Or to put it another way, that's more than four albums a year! Holy crap! There were also 35 singles released during that time. Oy....</span></p><p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-family: arial;">So, finally, here’s my full reimagined discography for Elvis from 1969-77, free of endless compilations, repetitive live albums and gobs of singles. It still includes at least two (sometimes three) albums a year (other than 1976-77), which is more than enough.</span></p><p class="MsoNoSpacing"><b><span style="font-family: arial;">1969<o:p></o:p></span></b></p><p class="MsoNoSpacing"></p><ul style="text-align: left;"><li><span style="font-family: arial;">SINGLE: “Memories” / “Charro” (February)</span></li><li><span style="font-family: arial;">SINGLE: “In the Ghetto” / “My Little Friend” (April)</span></li><li><span style="font-family: arial;">ALBUM: <i>From Elvis in Memphis</i> (June)</span></li><li><span style="font-family: arial;">SINGLE: “Suspicious Minds” / “I’ll Be There” (August)</span></li><li><span style="font-family: arial;">ALBUM: <i>Back in Memphis</i> (October)</span></li><li><span style="font-family: arial;">SINGLE: “Don’t Cry Daddy” / “Change of Habit” (November)</span></li></ul><span style="font-family: arial;"><o:p></o:p></span><p></p><p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-family: arial;"><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-family: arial;"><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-family: arial;"><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-family: arial;"><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNoSpacing"><b><span style="font-family: arial;">1970<o:p></o:p></span></b></p><p class="MsoNoSpacing"></p><ul style="text-align: left;"><li><span style="font-family: arial;">SINGLE: “Kentucky Rain” / “Let’s Be Friends” (January)</span></li><li><span style="font-family: arial;">SINGLE: “The Wonder of You [live]” / “Walk a Mile in My Shoes

Zombies’ original lineup, was recorded in the summer of 1967, and released in
the UK in the spring of 1968. Neither the initial single nor the album did much
in the UK, and the album wasn’t initially released in the U.S. at all. Al
Kooper became the album’s champion and eventually convinced CBS to release the
album in the U.S. A single, “Time of the Season,” had flopped in the UK in the
spring of ’68, but after being released in early 1969 in the U.S., it became a
huge hit.</p><p class="MsoNoSpacing">Suddenly, The Zombies were again a popular band,
something they really hadn’t been since 1964. CBS wanted another album, but the
group had already disbanded. Using six tracks recorded by bandmembers Rod
Argent and Chris White’s new group Argent, as well as newly overdubbed Zombies
demos from previous years, the album <i>R.I.P.</i> was assembled. But two
singles, “Imagine the Swan” and “If It Don’t Work Out,” didn’t sell well, and
the album was shelved. It was eventually released 30 years later in 2000.</p><p class="MsoNoSpacing">But if <i>R.I.P.</i> had been released and proved successful,
I was curious about whether yet another “Zombies” album could be created.</p><p class="MsoNoSpacing">SIDE A<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNoSpacing">1. I Hope I Didn’t Say Too Much Last Night<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNoSpacing">2. Unhappy Girl<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNoSpacing">3. I Can’t Live Without You<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNoSpacing">4. Though You Are Far Away<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNoSpacing">5. Telescope (Mr. Galileo)</p><p class="MsoNoSpacing">SIDE B<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNoSpacing">1. It Never Fails to Please Me<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNoSpacing">2.

Caroline Goodbye</p><p class="MsoNoSpacing">With The Zombies’ popularity increasing in the 1990s and
2000s, several new compilations were issued, including <i>Greatest Hits</i>
(1990), the boxset <i>Zombie Heaven</i> (1997) and <i>R.I.P</i> (2000). In
2007, an album titled <i>Into the Afterlife</i> was released that included
several demos recorded by Argent and White (as well as several cover songs
recorded by lead vocalist Colin Blunstone under the alias Neil MacArthur).</p><p class="MsoNoSpacing">I took the unused Argent and White songs from <i>Into the
Afterlife</i> and combined them with songs Blunstone wrote for his debut solo
album <i>One Year</i>, which was produced by both Argent and White in 1971. I
also included the B-side of a Blunstone single, “I Hope I Didn’t Say Too Much
Last Night,” which I ended up using to open the album. The overall result, I
think, is a very Zombies-sounding album.</p><p>
</p><p class="MsoNoSpacing">I thought <i>Next Steps</i> was a good title and then went
about searching for a photo that I thought captured the feeling of the album.<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNoSpacing">Here's a <a href="https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLunwkaXWmD5o_5PCsDkmJgk8lbNDbwcOp" target="_blank">YouTube playlist</a> to determine for yourself.</p>AEChttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18058398429644647446noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4765897099031396863.post-31913403377031633552023-11-05T12:34:00.003-08:002023-11-07T15:37:46.940-08:00"Catch .44" soundtrack<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEit5ZqWKWtcLrJY7b-AHkQILtonRRVuuevW5a7QjuSKMH7cFZskg3F30e9P8NMR1LCgl8qclaMQpevOTR2ki2PVCEbozcd3Edurk6xxXMJzwECRlDOXHzx5bJSIxoOV4FEGteSLd6msLuCDZ-MQT6STxdbipvJiv32KjD9k3gV288iL1NnZ5EtJIjSg/s1240/cover.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1240" data-original-width="1200" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEit5ZqWKWtcLrJY7b-AHkQILtonRRVuuevW5a7QjuSKMH7cFZskg3F30e9P8NMR1LCgl8qclaMQpevOTR2ki2PVCEbozcd3Edurk6xxXMJzwECRlDOXHzx5bJSIxoOV4FEGteSLd6msLuCDZ-MQT6STxdbipvJiv32KjD9k3gV288iL1NnZ5EtJIjSg/s320/cover.jpg" width="310" /></a></div><br /><p>This is a real short and quick entry.

It Be Now? (1974-1976)</i>, which included the long-lost / long-rumored <i>The
Gouster</i> album, many people were surprised at the track listing. Primarily,
it was missing several songs that some people had expected to be included,
especially what would have been the title song, “I am a Lazer (The Gouster).” But
producer Tony Visconti who assembled the “new” album insisted that this was the
intended track list.</p><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal">I have no proof whatsoever of this, but my theory is that
the track listing is actually for an early version of the album that became <i>Young
Americans</i> after <i>The Gouster</i> name and title cut had been dropped.
<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal">So, if this original configuration had been released as <i>Young Americans</i>, there
were plenty of tracks left for a quick follow-up album, which I’m calling <i>The
Gouster</i>.<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal">SIDE A</p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="text-indent: -0.25in;">1. I am Divine</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="text-indent: -0.25in;">2.

have four songs to include here: “Win,” “Across the Universe,” “Fascination” and “Fame.”
Thanks to better music editing software, old demos from this time period are
showing up on bootlegs and YouTube. These include “I am Divine,” “Shilling the
Rubes,” “After Today” and the previously mentioned “I am a Lazer (The Gouster).”</p><p class="MsoNoSpacing">The album opens with the rockin’ “I am Divine” and closes
with the monster hit “Fame.” Both “I am Divine” and “I am a Lazer” were destined
also (along with other Bowie-penned songs) for the debut album of The
Astronettes (Bowie’s backup singers), which was recorded around the same time,
but was shelved and didn’t get released until 2009. But I definitely think
Bowie originally planned to release these songs himself. My reasoning for that
is that the recording Bowie made of “I am Divine” includes the Astronettes on
backup with Bowie singing lead, and “I am a Lazer” is also a full band workout,
although without the backup singers. So, why go to all that trouble if it was
simply meant as a demo to give to the group?</p><p class="MsoNoSpacing"><a href="https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLunwkaXWmD5pkZ1GUcZBk7IzUrmgP6JQ-" target="_blank">Here's a Playlist on YouTube</a>.</p><p class="MsoNoSpacing">Now, if you want to go the extra mile and create a double
album with all the tracks from this period, you could simply take the boxset’s <i>The
Gouster</i> and add the version above to create this:</p><p class="MsoNoSpacing">SIDE A<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNoSpacing">1.

Long Way from Home</div><p></p><p>I resisted working on this project for several years due to two main reasons: 1. I didn't feel there were enough quality-sounding songs for a full album, and 2. While I pondered the idea, Uncle Dan presented a <a href="https://whatif-misc.blogspot.com/2018/03/mudcrutch-long-way-from-home-1975.html" target="_blank">version on his "What If" blog</a>. But after a long-lost Mudcrutch song showed up on a 2018 Tom Petty compilation, I pondered it once more.</p><p>Officially, Mudcrutch released two singles "Up the Mississippi" / "Cause is Understood" (1971) and "Depot Street" / "Wild Eyes" (1975). When the second single flopped, the group disbanded and three members, Tom Petty, Mike Campbell and Belmont Trench, formed Tom Petty and The Heartbreakers with others. </p><p>While there are apparently a number of Mudcrutch tracks (including demos) floating around, I focused on 10 specific Mudcrutch songs. I included all four tracks from the two singles. "Don't Do Me Like That" seemed the obvious opening track since it was the only carry-over to the Heartbreakers. I also felt that "I Can't Fight It" was one of the strongest tracks and used that to open the second side. Additionally, I made sure to put "Lost in Your <b>Eyes</b>" and "Depot <b>Street</b>" on the opposite side of the album from "Wild <b>Eyes</b>" and "On the <b>Street</b>" to avoid repetition.</p><p>Unfortunately, the sound quality for these 10 tracks is not uniformly good. Those that have been officially released in the digital era sound good, while the others are simply OK. Six of the tracks appeared on the Tom Petty compilation box set <i>Playback</i>. One track, "Lost in Your Eyes" appeared on the Tom Petty compilation box set <i>An American Treasure</i>. That left three difficult-to-find tracks that are also the ones with the poorest sound quality. They include the B-sides "Wild Eyes" and "Cause is Understood" (only available on the original vinyl singles and some bootlegs) and a demo titled "Long Way from Home" that's available on bootlegs.</p><p>All in all, I think it's interesting to listen to what could have been.</p><p>I struggled with ideas for a cover. There are a few group photos online, but because the lineups changed over the lifetime of the band and not all tracks are by the same lineup, I decided to go with something different. The band was originally from Gainesville so I looked up the city on Wikipedia for some inspiration. I discovered that the town was named after Gen. Edmund P. Gaines. So I found an old photo of him online, colorized and cropped it, and added the band's logo (even though the logo was created for the band after it was reformed in 2007). Personally, I like the way it came out.</p><p>Here's a <a href="https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLunwkaXWmD5q3Y6F0_0aP9VPipdYfkTHy" target="_blank">playlist of the album on YouTube</a>.</p>AEChttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18058398429644647446noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4765897099031396863.post-65032674819398641512023-08-06T12:45:00.000-07:002023-08-06T12:45:00.146-07:00Triple Albums Made Single<p>Way back in the olden days of December 2018, I posted an entry on
this blog where I took <a href="https://albumsbackfromthedead.blogspot.com/2018/12/double-albums-made-single.html">eight double studio albums and slimmed them down to a single disc</a>.</p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing">This time around, I’m tackling four triple studio albums and
slimming them down, not to a double, but also to a single disc. That’s a lot of
whittling. You can be the judge of the outcomes.</p>

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">Besides listening to all the tracks, I went in search of
consensus among others as to what are the best songs from the three discs. And
believe me, the more you search the topic online the more you realize that no
one agrees on everything. But it did appear that a few songs showed up on most
lists I found and helped me narrow it down. Two of the original discs have 12 tracks and
one has 13, so I decided to keep it at no more than 13.</p>

<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><b>Smashing Pumpkins – “Mellon Collie and the Infinite
Sadness”<o:p></o:p></b></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing">Most people probably think of this as a two-CD, 28-track
album, but it was also released as a three-disc, 30-track vinyl album. With 30
tracks to choose from, it’s a lot to wade through. And consider the fact that
another 30 or so songs didn’t make the final cut of the actual album (they were
included later in a box set). So, to get this down to a single vinyl album, I
decided to only use 10 tracks total. And if you check various “best of” lists
on the interwebs you’ll find that four tracks make nearly everyone’s list, and
then it's kind of a free-for-all.</p>

<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><b>The Clash – “Sandanista!”<o:p></o:p></b></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing">Some songs from <i>Sandanista </i>were obvious keepers, and some
tracks seem to me like just filler. When it came to determining the final cuts, I
again went to the interwebs for various opinions on the best/worst tracks.
Finally, I settled on what’s below. It was only after I completed this that I discovered a 12-track promo album called <i>Sandanista Now! </i>had been released (I assume to radio stations), and it only differs from my tracklist by two songs: I included "Something About England" and "Charlie Don't Surf" while <i>Sandanista Now! </i>excludes those songs but includes instead "Ivan Meets G.I. Joe" and "Sound of Sinners." </p>

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">For this album, the obvious choice for me was to first
remove the third disc of jams. And then I assembled what I thought were the
best nine tracks. The first side ended up being exactly the same as the
released album, and the second side a mix of the rest. The leftovers would have
been a great start on a 1971 or 1972 follow-up album.</p>

blog (and that's saying something) – determining a track list for an album that Elvis Presley might have
released if he hadn’t died in 1977.</p><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">In January 1977, a recording session was scheduled in
Nashville, but Elvis either didn’t show up or left soon after arriving and didn’t
record any tracks. This left producer Felton Jarvis to scramble and forage for
enough songs to fill out an LP. The result was <i>Moody Blue</i>. I made <a href="https://albumsbackfromthedead.blogspot.com/2022/07/elvis-presley-moody-blue-full-studio.html" target="_blank">an attempt to do a better version of that album</a> a few months ago.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">For this blog post, I looked at the six to seven tracks that
had been expected to be recorded, and other songs that could have completed a
follow-up to <i>Moody Blue</i>, which I'm titling <i>Fire</i>.<o:p></o:p></p>

has been recorded by anyone other than Rush for the demo, I haven’t found it.<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal">Another song that was considered, but is not on the CD, was “Fire
Down Below,” written by Elvis’ longtime bass player Jerry Scheff. Elvis’ TCB Band
even recorded the backing track. Also, I’ve read on music blogs that “Miss
Misunderstood,” written by David Bellamy and recorded by the Bellamy Brothers
in 1979 was seriously considered.<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><i>A Cold Night in Nashville</i> is apparently out of print
and copies go for more than I want to spend, and I couldn’t find it as a
download online. So, without the track “Yes I Do,” I needed a total of three
more songs to create a 10-track album (almost all Elvis studio albums in the '70s had 10
tracks).<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal">There’s a lot of speculation regarding what other songs
Elvis might have considered, including tunes by Dolly Parton, Andrew Lloyd
Webber and Tim Rice, and even Bruce Springsteen. It’s all speculation, of
course. Even if a song was on a list, it doesn’t mean Elvis would have recorded
it. He had a long history of passing on tunes submitted to him.<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal">A contribution from Mark James seems suspiciously absent
from the list. James wrote Elvis’ hits “Suspicious Minds,” “Always on My Mind” “Raised
on Rock” and “Moody Blue.” According to one account, a song James co-wrote
titled “Disco Rider” was considered. But somehow I have difficulty believing
Elvis would have recorded such a song (even if disco was king at the time). However, in 1978, James recorded a ballad he
wrote titled “Who’s Loving You” and this seems much more up Elvis’ alley. <o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal">Another songwriter that regularly wrote tunes for Elvis was Jerry
Chesnut. Two of his songs appeared on the 1976 album <i>From Elvis Presley Boulevard,
Memphis, Tennessee</i>. So, one of Chesnut’s songs would seem a likely candidate.
His song “Whatever’s Left” had been recorded by Faron Young in 1972 and Hank
Thompson in 1974. It’s a country tune in waltz time and seems like something
Elvis might have liked.<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal">
</p><p class="MsoNormal">Finally, there is evidence that the song “Mustang Wine” written
by a very young Steve Earle might have been in serious contention. In fact, it was included on Carl Perkins’ 1982 album <i>Presenting Carl Perkins</i> and produced by none other than
Felton Jarvis. However, Elvis, a noted teetotaler, tended to shy away from
songs about alcohol. Doing a search, the only song Elvis recorded that mentions
alcohol that I could find was “Early Morning Rain” – so I don’t know. But in the
end, I included it as well.<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal">I've linked the songs above to other artists' performances of the songs so you can get a basic idea of how the album would have sounded. </p><p class="MsoNormal">For a cover, I tried to create something that looked similar to past Elvis album covers and would look like it came out in 1978. Not really happy with it, but I got tired of fooling around in Photoshop and went with what I had.</p>AEChttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18058398429644647446noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4765897099031396863.post-49261877002306280082023-06-04T12:34:00.013-07:002023-07-16T19:01:20.911-07:00The Beatles - "Yellow Submarine" complete soundtrack<p> </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgceHN5a9XWUNPGIIQGNbNCheHyQgVRa3AD0M3Gq3FbZYHnfhSWE3J4bbzYwl32WFzKCEglAAgEaR14oFCmpj0jWbuCV08D0llzflbPsuShcAJHfFKLNoS0vTV8RlWCKwG7Y-ngXr-EsoJiz6Faz_VWqBKHzPDizq_esi76TgMh7vFRv8-6Wlmc0ihS/s564/YS%20cover.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="564" data-original-width="564" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgceHN5a9XWUNPGIIQGNbNCheHyQgVRa3AD0M3Gq3FbZYHnfhSWE3J4bbzYwl32WFzKCEglAAgEaR14oFCmpj0jWbuCV08D0llzflbPsuShcAJHfFKLNoS0vTV8RlWCKwG7Y-ngXr-EsoJiz6Faz_VWqBKHzPDizq_esi76TgMh7vFRv8-6Wlmc0ihS/s320/YS%20cover.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><p></p><p class="MsoNoSpacing">It’s strange to me that two attempts were made to make a soundtrack

Beatles songs along with seven tracks by the George Martin Orchestra.</p><p class="MsoNoSpacing">In 1999, a new version titled <i>Yellow Submarine Songtrack</i>

In its review, <i>Rolling Stone Magazine</i> called it the worst album by a rock band ever. </p><p>The project was mired in discontent, with Tom Fogerty leaving beforehand and John Fogerty only doing a half-hearted effort. The rhythm section of Stu Cook and Doug Clifford – never considered songwriters before – were forced to pick up the slack. Tom, Stu and Doug felt that John was too controlling and unwilling to listen to their ideas, and John was angry that they didn’t seem to appreciate their success was mostly due to him.</p><p>But what if cooler heads had prevailed? What if instead of Tom leaving the band, everyone took a year off to do their own thing? Tom could release his two solo albums of 1972 (<i>Tom Fogerty</i> and <i>Excalibur</i>), and John and Doug issued one apiece the same year (<i>Blue Ridge Rangers</i> and <i>Cosmo </i>respectively). And then they could reconvene for one last CCR album that was still dominated by John, but was also more of a group effort.</p><p>SIDE A</p><p>1.<span style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Sweet Hitchhiker</p><p>2.<span style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Lookin’ for a Reason</p><p>3.<span style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Mystic Isle Avalon</p><p>4.<span style="white-space: pre;"> </span>What Are You Gonna Do</p><p>5.<span style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Back in the Hills</p><p>SIDE B</p><p>1.<span style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Joyful Resurrection</p><p>2.<span style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Hello Mary Lou</p><p>3.<span style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Door to Door</p><p>4.<span style="white-space: pre;"> </span>You Don’t Owe Me</p><p>5.<span style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Someday Never Comes</p><p>To revamp <i>Mardi Gras</i>, it was first important to remove the worst songs, which I believe were “Sail Away,” “Take It Like a Friend,” “Tearin’ Up the Country” and “Need Someone to Hold.” Not coincidentally, these are all songs by either Stu or Doug. I kept one song by each, “What Are You Gonna Do” and “Door to Door.” In the end, I kept only six of the album's 10 tracks.</p><p>In 1973, John released a single credited to the Blue Ridge Rangers. But unlike the album under that name that was made up of all covers, both sides of the single were written by John: “You Don’t Owe Me” and “Back in the Hills.” So, I included both songs.</p><p>Also, that year, Tom recorded a song titled “Mystic Isle Avalon” that actually includes all four members of CCR – in essence, the last CCR recorded song. The track appeared on Tom’s <i>Zephyr National</i> album, which has Stu and Doug on every track. I also took “Joyful Resurrection” – the same album’s single – to include on the revised <i>Mardi Gras</i>.</p><p>Finally, I arranged the tracks in a way that I thought worked best. “Lookin’ for a Reason” was a terrible opening track for the album in my opinion, and instead I opened it with the best track on the album, the barn-burnin' “Sweet Hitchhiker.” "Lookin' for a Reason" is moved to the second track, followed by Tom's "Mystic Isle Avalon" and Doug's "What Are We Gonna Do." The first side ends with John's Blue Ridge Rangers track "Back in the Hills."</p><p>Tom’s song “Joyful Resurrection” opens the second side, followed by the cover of "Hello Mary Lou" and Stu's "Door to Door." The album closes with John’s “Someday Never Comes,” which seems appropriate.</p><p>Overall, while still not the best CCR album, it’s a considerable improvement over what was released. I kept the cover of the original.</p><p>Here's a <a href="https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLunwkaXWmD5pUqM4wmM53p_FCR3Yq7sXJ" target="_blank">YouTube playlist of the album</a>.</p>AEChttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18058398429644647446noreply@blogger.com8tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4765897099031396863.post-10920306837108014872023-04-02T12:34:00.006-07:002023-07-19T14:54:17.211-07:00T.

was working on several new songs. But there’s no way of knowing whether any of
them would have ended up on his next T. Rex album. He apparently left behind no
notes, although there are references to the working title of <i>Jack Daniels</i>.</span></p><p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-family: arial; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;">Over the years, there have been attempts, both
official and unofficial (see <a href="https://whatif-misc.blogspot.com/2018/03/marc-bolan-trex-jack-daniels-1977.html">Uncle
Dan’s version</a>), to create an album from leftover tracks. The primary
version was a 1982 release titled <i><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Billy_Super_Duper">Billy Super Duper</a></i>
that included seven songs recorded in 1977, one from 1976, two from 1975 and
one from way back in 1972, and some of the tracks featured new overdubs to make
them more fleshed-out tunes. Beyond that, there have been gobs of posthumously
released albums with demos, alternate takes and pretty much every note Bolan
ever recorded. The truth is, Bolin recorded so many demos between 1975-77,
there’s no telling what he might have released had he lived longer.</span></p><p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-family: arial; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;">SIDE A<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-family: arial; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;">1. 21<sup>st</sup> Century Stance<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-family: arial; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;">2.

Sing Me a Song</span></p><p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-family: arial; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;">Looking over some of the last songs he recorded,
I was struck by how several titles were similar and wondered if I couldn’t
arrange a track list that created a concept album with the two sides of
the album kind of mirroring each other. Bolan had attempted to create a concept
album in 1975 titled <i>Billy Super Duper</i>, but apparently discarded the
concept because his last two albums in 1976 and 1977 didn’t include any
reference to it.</span></p><p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-family: arial; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;">For this, I took 10 of the 12 songs
featured on the 1982 <i>Billy Super Duper</i> release. It appears that at least seven
of them were recorded in 1977 before the overdubs were done. I also included “Endless
Sleep,” which Bolan performed on his 1977 TV series. I then added two tracks
that are probably from 1976: “Write Me a Song” and the very similar “Sing Me a
Song.” And finally, I included “Messing with the Mystic.” Although it’s a demo,
the sound quality is pretty good, although not great. But I felt that title-wise it kind of matched up with "Brain Police."</span></p><p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-family: arial;">So we end up with "21st Century Stance" paired with "20th Century Baby," "Billy Super Duper" matched with "Hot George," "Shy Boy" mirroring "Foxy Boy," and so on.</span></p><p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-family: arial; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;">The result is a nice 14-track album, with Side
A clocking in at just under 20 minutes and Side B at about 18½ minutes. It’s
the kind of album where at first glance and listen, there is a concept, but
on closer examination, there really isn’t.</span></p><p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-family: arial; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;">Besides the 1982 <i>Billy Super Duper</i>, my source for these tracks was <i>Marc Bolan & T. Rex Unchained: Unreleased Recordings 1972 -1977</i>.</span></p><p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;"><span style="font-family: arial;">In deciding on an album title, I felt that
calling it <i>Jack Daniels</i> would have been just asking for a lawsuit and a title his record company likely would have rejected (plus I didn't think it had anything to do with the "concept" I'm attempting). So, I
went with <i>Billy Super Duper</i>. For cover art, I found this image online

recently came upon <a href="http://www.youtube.com/@walrusz">walrusz’s YouTube channel</a> where he’s
added some new studio backing to a few demos George Harrison recorded. That led
me to read up more on the 50</span><sup style="font-family: arial;">th</sup><span style="font-family: arial;"> anniversary of Harrison’s <i>All Things
Must Pass</i> album where I discovered there were a number of outtakes he never
officially released in his lifetime.</span></p><p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-family: arial;">I’ve
often thought that Harrison waited too long to record a follow-up to <i>All Things
Must Pass</i>. Yes, it was a triple album (or a double album with an extra disc of
jamming) and it was a massive success when it was released in 1970. But
consider that his former bandmates were all releasing more albums than he was
from 1970 through 1973. Paul McCartney issued five studio albums during that span and John Lennon released four. Even Ringo Starr recorded three studio
albums. Meanwhile, George issued two: <i>All Things Must Pass</i> (1970) and <i>Living in
the Material World</i> (1973).</span></p><p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-family: arial;">Considering
George supposedly had tons of songs he’d written that had been rejected by the other Beatles (namely John and Paul),
one might think that he’d be keen to now get it all out there and have a follow-up album in 1971 or 1972. But in fact, he had other priorities, including legal issues, a failing marriage, the organization of the Concert for Bangla Desh and the care for his mother who was dying. </span></p><p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-family: arial;">So here's my attempt at an album that could have been.</span></p><p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-family: arial;">SIDE

were several songs George demoed in 1970 that he later recorded for albums, and
I decided not to use those.</span></p><p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-family: arial;">Looking
and searching, I found 11 songs that could have been used for a late 1971 or
early 1972 album. I used five tracks that walrusz posted on his YouTube
channel: “Cosmic Empire,” “Nowhere to Go,” “Dehra Dun,” “Mother Divine” and “Window
Window.” For the latter song, I snipped off the studio chatter at the very
beginning as I found it distracting. </span></p><p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-family: arial;">I also included the 2000 overdubbed
version of “I Live for You” that George released with the 40<sup>th</sup>
anniversary of <i>All Thing Must Pass</i>, as well as the demos for “Going Down to
Golders Green,” "Om Hare Om (Gopala Krishna)," “Tell Me What Has
Happened to You” and “I Don’t Want to Do It” from the 50<sup>th</sup>
anniversary of the album. </span></p><p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-family: arial;">And finally, I included “Deep Blue,” the B-side of George’s 1971 “Bangla
Desh” single. I thought about including “Bangla Desh” as well, but it’s
very apparent that it was always meant to be a standalone single.</span></p><p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-family: arial;">I especially like
using the Bob Dylan-penned “I Don’t Want to Do It” to end the album with just George on vocals and guitar. The song's
final line “I don't want to say goodbye” and abrupt stop seemed like a great ending, I think. George actually re-recorded the song in
1985 for the <i>Porky’s Revenge</i> soundtrack, and that seems like a sad result for
a Dylan song that he himself never recorded. Using it here gives the song a bit
more respect.</span></p><p>
</p><p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-family: arial;">The result is what I think to be a very enjoyable 11-track album. For
an album cover, I found this photo of George online and added the words. I titled it <i>Cosmic Empire</i> after the lead-off track.</span></p><p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-family: arial;">Here is a <a href="https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLunwkaXWmD5p5ZjaznucB-IWOXpXO3PVH" target="_blank">YouTube playlist of the album</a>.

That Never Were blog post</a> where The Byrds’ album <i>The Notorious Byrd
Brothers</i> was redone as if David Crosby had not been fired. I looked at the
band’s previous album, <i>Younger Than Yesterday</i>, the first without any
input by Gene Clark, and created a new version. This one includes three songs
by Clark that were on his first solo album released nearly simultaneously with <i>Younger Than Yesterday</i>.</p>

Happens Each Day</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing">6. My Back Pages<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing">Without contributions from Clark, Chris Hillman stepped
up with four songs, plus a co-write with Roger McGuinn. It’s interesting because
prior to this, Hillman really hadn’t written any songs for the band other than
one track that was a group effort.</p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing">Rather than simply inserting Clark's songs, I looked at the
album overall to see if I could improve it (at least in my mind). The album as
released is very short – the first side clocks in less than 14 minutes. Besides
adding three Clark tunes, I also decided to jettison two other tracks to make
room for them. I removed Hillman’s “Thoughts and Words” as I didn’t think it
contributed much, especially as the opening track of Side B. Plus, Hillman
already has four other writing credits on the album. I also removed “Why,” a
song co-written by McGuinn and Crosby. This was an odd choice in the first
place because the band had released a slower version of the same song as a B
side to the “Eight Miles High” single the previous year.</p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing">Clark’s solo album, <i>Gene Clark with the Gosdin
Brothers</i>, includes both Hillman and Michael Clarke throughout, so it
actually has three “Byrds” playing on it. I included the tracks “Needing
Someone,” “So You Say You Lost Your Baby” and “Tried So Hard.” The first two I
added because I simply liked them the most. I included “Tried So Hard” because I
saw a video of Clark performing it in maybe late 1970s on YouTube so I figured it
must have been important to him. Also, Hillman recorded it in the early 1970s
with his later group The Flying Burrito Brothers, so obviously he liked the
track too.</p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing">Finally, I also added one outtake from the album, Crosby’s
“It Happens Each Day.” Other than the insertions and deletions, the album's tracklist
remains pretty much the same, although I moved the cover of Dylan’s “My Back
Pages” to the end to close out the album. Because the album title is inspired
by the song, and since it was released as a single, I thought ending the album
with it made sense.</p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing">The result is an album with more variety, more tracks
and longer running time (each side is just under 16 minutes). It wasn’t until after
I’d figured out a tracklist I liked that I realized the songs opening both
sides have the same two first words in their titles. Weird.</p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing">And now for a special treat (ha!), I went the extra mile
and created a second version of the album as a double, adding in more Clark
songs and outtakes (see below). Sides A-C are about 15:10 give or take a
second, while the fourth side is about 20 seconds shorter. You decide what you
like more: a single or double album.</p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing">For cover art, I needed a photo that included Gene Clark, making the one I chose a bit dated. But doesn't having a photo of them a year or two earlier fit in with the album's title? Hmmmm.... Otherwise, I think it looks good for a
simple design. Removed some background imagery and added titles.</p>

The first to do so was singer Keith Relf, who issued two singles, although the highest they appeared on the charts was #50. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">Guitarist Jeff Beck also recorded a track, although it was nearly a year before it was issued, and by that time he was out of the group.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">Jimmy Page joined the Yardbirds in June 1966. Although he didn't release a solo single as a member of the Yardbirds, Page had issued a single the previous year. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">I can find no solo recordings by other members of the group. If there were plans for recordings by Chris Dreja, Jim McCarty or even soon to depart Paul Samwell-Smith, they may have been cancelled after Relf's dismal showing on the charts. I mean, if the lead singer can't get a hit song, how do you expect any of the other members to do so?</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">I wondered if I took the solo material by Relf, Beck and Page, along with an added soundtrack cut by the band from '66, we could compile a new "Yardbirds" album.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">SIDE A</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">1.

Although writing of the song is credited to the Yardbirds, it's actually a re-write of "Train Kept A-Rollin'," which the band had recorded the previous year.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">The next track is "Knowing," one of four songs from Relf's two solo singles. This is followed by Page's "She Just Satisfies" and Relf's "Mr. Zero" closes the album's first side.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">Side B opens with "Beck's Bolero," which is based on <span style="background-color: white;">Maurice Ravel's "Bolero." Also featured on the song are </span>Page, Keith Moon, <span style="background-color: white;">John Paul Jones and Nicky Hopkins. Beck would later say that two or three other songs were recorded at the same session. Sadly, they've apparently been lost, erased or misfiled.</span></span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="background-color: white;">This is followed by tracks by Relf and Page. The last track, "Blue Sands," is an instrumental that first appeared on the B-side of Relf's second single. Although credited to Relf, apparently he doesn't appear on the song at all and it was in fact recorded by a British group called The Outsiders. I included it only because it had been credited to Relf, so theoretically would have been included in an album if one had been issued </span></span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: arial;">at the time</span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: arial;">.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="background-color: white;">The result of this compilation is a very short album, actually more likely an EP. But it is a nice way to package up some loose ends of Yardbirds-related songs. If you wanted to expand it a bit, there are a couple of tracks by The All-Stars featuring Jeff Beck (that also include Page) that were recorded in 1965.</span></span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="background-color: white;">Three of the Relf tracks can be found on the album <i>All the Falling Angels - Solo Recordings & Collaborations 1965-1976</i>. As far as I've been able to find, the song "Blue Sands" appears to only be available on the original single. "Beck's Bolero" is available on Beck's <i>Truth </i>album. The two Page tracks can be found on the album <i>Session Man: Vol. 1</i>.</span></span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="background-color: white;">For a cover, I chose a stock image of five biplanes, added band and record company logos and title.</span></span></p>AEChttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18058398429644647446noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4765897099031396863.post-52295814262143925172022-12-04T12:34:00.010-08:002023-07-25T16:00:00.088-07:00David Bowie - "Magic"<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjIMchQlQIrflAoNDblalWPEwjgzWjUm25GH7WoKtO_Be7zsfUleW7zn-42PIvjbzLdQLCK2AjkTeoYFfJQ24v1ABULU-ov_hiEDPGqmIGRp4_V_0n0R15aQ7ydRh8VCS9zP0Afny4-sdGKnIOukZVjNE2g8eDGLREQsREQhwh5WPcJ6q0AnIAfl0Dv/s1104/Magic%20album%20cover.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1100" data-original-width="1104" height="319" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjIMchQlQIrflAoNDblalWPEwjgzWjUm25GH7WoKtO_Be7zsfUleW7zn-42PIvjbzLdQLCK2AjkTeoYFfJQ24v1ABULU-ov_hiEDPGqmIGRp4_V_0n0R15aQ7ydRh8VCS9zP0Afny4-sdGKnIOukZVjNE2g8eDGLREQsREQhwh5WPcJ6q0AnIAfl0Dv/s320/Magic%20album%20cover.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div><br /></div><br />There were three years between the release of David Bowie's <i>Tonight</i> album in 1984 and his follow-up <i>Never Let Me Down</i> album in 1987. But in fact, Bowie released songs on three soundtracks in 1986. I thought that if those tunes were collected together, we could have a Bowie album for that year.<br /><br />In all, there are 10 Bowie tracks that appeared on the <i>Labyrinth</i>, <i>Absolute Beginners</i> and <i>When the Wind Blows</i> soundtracks.<br /><br />1. Opening Titles – Underground<br />2. Absolute Beginners<br />3. Magic Dance<br />4. Chilly Down<br />5. As the World Falls Down<br />6. When the Wind Blows<br />7. Within You<br />8. Volare (Nel Blu Dipinto Di Blu) <br />9. That’s Motivation<br />10. Underground<br /><br />Of the three soundtracks, <i>Labyrinth </i>has the most Bowie songs with six, <i>Absolute Beginners</i> has three and <i>When the Wind Blows</i> just the title track. I decided to mix the sequence of the songs and I think the result is generally satisfying, although the '80s production can be annoying. Then again, it's that shared mid-'80s production that allows all the tracks to gel as an album.<br /><div><br /></div><div>The length of the album comes to 39:42, longer than <i>Tonight</i> (35:47) but shorter than <i>Never Let Me Down</i> (53:07 -- although this album would later be shortened to 48:06 when one of the songs was jettisoned from re-releases). So although short by today's standards, it actually measures up lengthwise with the times.<div><br /></div><div>For a cover, I chose the slip sleeve for the "Magic Dance" single and altered it a bit, including spelling out the title in the Flood font. I decided to call the album <i>Magic </i>as I thought calling it Magic Dance was too much like the <i>Let's Dance</i> album title. Plus I liked the simplicity of the title. All tracks can be found on the aforementioned soundtracks. They're also all on the <i>Loving the Alien (1983-1988)</i> box set.</div><div><br /></div><div>To hear how this album would sound, <a href="https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLunwkaXWmD5phnxv43D8JJcFzg4C-9ABF" target="_blank">check out the YouTube playlist</a>.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><br /></div></div>AEChttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18058398429644647446noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4765897099031396863.post-45515438631768156132022-11-06T12:34:00.277-08:002023-08-04T13:50:31.139-07:00Boston - "Third Stage" [reimagined]<p><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjhEgRrVgAZmbz-LhUoOOt-XukZevxr0wC4GxJ60oWMJuMirN6vs3ufZdh7imEU_D3sPs5-0zzMu2VY0FYFGjGAnGkIkXJ2_sJU-naA-sr5ku3ZCV6ek7jgwXs0gidKhrjJtq0nSChsQ4UyRONrq3Pqj7UiId9UrHinDOw4jgv3yNp2VNX-FxO9Dz1O/s724/BOSTON.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="719" data-original-width="724" height="318" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjhEgRrVgAZmbz-LhUoOOt-XukZevxr0wC4GxJ60oWMJuMirN6vs3ufZdh7imEU_D3sPs5-0zzMu2VY0FYFGjGAnGkIkXJ2_sJU-naA-sr5ku3ZCV6ek7jgwXs0gidKhrjJtq0nSChsQ4UyRONrq3Pqj7UiId9UrHinDOw4jgv3yNp2VNX-FxO9Dz1O/s320/BOSTON.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><p>Following the end of Boston's tour in 1979, lead guitarist, producer and principal songwriter Tom Scholz announced to the band that he was going to take a break for about a year, according to rhythm guitarist Barry Goudreau. Goudreau got together with bandmembers singer Brad Delp and drummer Sib Hashian and recorded a few tracks. According to Goudreau, they brought them to Scholz hoping he'd be interested in using them for a new Boston album. However, Scholz said he'd simply like to produce the record, and Goudreau felt that the record company wasn't going to allow Scholz to do anything other than a Boston album. So more music was recorded and eventually released as Goudreau's self-titled solo album.</p><p>To promote the album, the record company inferred in advertisements that Goudreau's guitar was the sound behind Boston, and this infuriated Scholz. Reportedly, Scholz contacted the record company (CBS) and told them to either stop promoting the album or they'd never see another Boston album. Not only was promotion of Goudreau's album discontinued, but soon after Scholz fired Goudreau from the band. </p><p>Sometime in 1980, the remaining members of Boston recorded four tracks. But it wouldn't be long before other members were kicked out of the band, including Hashian and bassist Fran Sheehan. This basically left only Scholz and Delp along with hired sidemen. Then Scholz broke a finger, there were various lawsuits, Boston signed with a different record company, etc. etc. Finally, <i>Third Stage</i> was released in 1986, more than eight years after the band's previous album <i>Don't Look Back</i>. By that time, music trends had changed dramatically and it was a case of too little, too late. </p><p>I wanted to see what could have been had Goudreau's tracks and Scholz's 1980 tracks been used on a new Boston album circa 1980/1981.</p><p><b>SIDE A</b></p><p>1. We're Ready</p><p>2. Dreams</p><p>3. Mean Woman Blues</p><p>4. Life is What We Make It</p><p>5. Amanda</p><p><b>SIDE B</b></p><p>1.

What's a Fella to Do?</p><p>5. Shattered Images (Help Me) [live]</p><p>I used five tracks from Goudreau's album, all but one of which were co-written with Delp and all feature Delp on lead vocals and Hashian on drums. From <i>Third Stage</i>, I used the four tracks that were recorded in 1980, which all feature Delp and Hashian. And then I went about determining a track order.</p><p>First of all, I've always found "Amanda" to be an odd choice to lead off the album. It's a ballad and just doesn't seem to be the right way to kick off a Boston album. The second song, "We're Ready," seems tailor made as the album opener and so that's what I went with here. Next I used a song that was the single from Goudreau's solo album, "Dreams." Another track from Goudreau's album, "Mean Woman Blues," adds a bit of boogie to the mix and allows for some musical variety. One more Goudreau track, "Life is What We Make It," follows. Then we close out the first side of the album with the ballad "Amanda."</p><p>The second side opens with the three-part instrumental "The Launch," which then leads into "Cool the Engines." Two Goudreau tracks follow with "Hard Luck" and "What's a Fella to Do?"</p><p>For the final track, I chose something not on either <i>Third Stage</i> or <i>Barry Goudreau</i>. Instead, I picked a track Boston played in concert often between 1976-79, but never (as far as I know) recorded in the studio: "Shattered Images (Help Me)." There are quite a few recordings available from different shows, but I liked the one recorded at a show in Long Beach, Calif., in 1977. This track provides a big, enthusiastic ending for the album. You can find this version on a bootleg called <i>Permission to Land</i>, and it can also be found on YouTube.</p><p>Interestingly, at least for me, is that the only person who performs on all the tracks is Hashian.</p><p>I take no credit for the cover art. I found this being used for Boston songs on YouTube uploaded by ColdFrixion, and I thought it would make a nice alternative to the original cover as well as show that this is a different version.</p><p>Here's a <a href="https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLunwkaXWmD5rehit5MBDoJAYqCTqZMOzE" target="_blank">YouTube Playlist</a> of what the album could sound like.</p><p><br /></p>AEChttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18058398429644647446noreply@blogger.com7tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4765897099031396863.post-63007386318856336462022-10-02T12:34:00.008-07:002022-10-02T12:34:00.173-07:00Arthur Lyman -- The Exotic Worlds of Arthur Lyman<br />

The "big three" of tiki exotica music are Les Baxter, Martin Denny, and Arthur Lyman. A few years ago I got two double-CD compilations of works by Baxter and Denny titled<i> The Exotic Moods of Les Baxter</i> and <i>The Exotic Sounds of Martin Denny </i>that were released in 1996<i>.</i> Both featured cover art by Mark Ryden. I play them as background music for our home tiki bar.<div><br /></div><div>But there wasn't a similar release for Arthur Lyman, and I felt it was lacking from the collection. So I created one myself.<br />

In deciding what tracks to include by Lyman, I searched through various "best of" collections, but focused mainly on those songs that featured titles about the South Pacific or exotic locations. Both the Baxter and Denny compilations include 40 tracks each, with 20 tunes per disc. So in keeping with the format, I chose 40 songs of Lyman's music.</div><div><br /></div><div>The collection begins with "Isle of Golden Dreams," originally released in 1958 on Lyman's <i>Hawaiian Sunset</i> LP. It's a rather slow, "dreamy" piece that I thought would allow the listener to drift into the mood. All the instrumentals presented here can transport you to a mythical tropic island with their use of vibraphones, marimbas, ukuleles and exotic bird calls. I ended the collection with probably Lyman's best known tune, "Yellow Bird." I recommend you shake up a mai tai and relax.</div><div><br /></div><div>For cover artwork, I wanted to use another painting by Mark Ryden like the ones for Baxter and Denny compilations, but I couldn't find anything suitable. So instead I chose an image of a velvet painting by Robb Hamel, cropped it and added titles. And the title I chose, to go along with the other two compilations, was <i>The Exotic Worlds of Arthur Lyman</i>.</div>AEChttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18058398429644647446noreply@blogger.com8tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4765897099031396863.post-41548283066347363312022-09-04T12:34:00.021-07:002023-08-04T14:35:36.344-07:00U2 - "Bersantai Honey"<p><span style="font-family: arial;"> </span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhpuc6SzZX0Aq9kwmfpLE_WjzjTVH8nceMxV1Twvr0Z18YXFkxV6PG34n1Vfj1uuIDEhcj86tRRoC_xkryozNo6kZOFK59NU5qseqGNG7P8i3wQdBEBQ1sfJGVXogt1B2D9YSAaevUh5s5UkB-YfzC5KKUx_Et4jTVYBgkS-FrcGl6iD2lfLJZKsZTD=s432" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><img border="0" data-original-height="432" data-original-width="432" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhpuc6SzZX0Aq9kwmfpLE_WjzjTVH8nceMxV1Twvr0Z18YXFkxV6PG34n1Vfj1uuIDEhcj86tRRoC_xkryozNo6kZOFK59NU5qseqGNG7P8i3wQdBEBQ1sfJGVXogt1B2D9YSAaevUh5s5UkB-YfzC5KKUx_Et4jTVYBgkS-FrcGl6iD2lfLJZKsZTD=s320" width="320" /></span></a></div><p><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia;">It wasn't until recently that I discovered there were so many outtakes from U2's <i>Achtung Baby</i> -- which happens to be my favorite album by the band. Some of the extra tunes ended up being reworked into songs for the follow-up <i>Zooropa </i>or released elsewhere as B-sides, etc. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia;">I thought it might be interesting to take all the outtakes and assemble them into a theoretical follow-up to <i>Achtung Baby</i> instead or perhaps in addition to <i>Zooropa</i>.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia;">1.

Heaven and Hell</span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia;">I kicked off the album with the mostly instrumental "Alex Descends into Hell for a Bottle of Milk - Korova 1," which was originally released as a B-side of "The Fly" single. Both "Salom<span style="background-color: white;">é</span>" and "Where Did It All Go Wrong" were B-sides to the "Even Better than the Real Thing" single. The remaining tracks went unreleased until 2011.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia;">The combined 10 tracks for this album come to just over 42 minutes, a very respectable length, even in the CD era. The result is an album that doesn't sound like a bunch of leftovers, but rather a complete album. I consider <i>Achtung Baby</i> U2's high point, and I think the quality of the songs left off the album just goes to show that U2 was on a roll during these sessions.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia;">There were even more tracks recorded that I didn't use, but that's because they were cover tunes and I wanted this album to be made up of all originals.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia;">When it came time to create a cover for the album, I chose some random photos that reflected some of the song titles - some more obvious than others -- that looks similar to the cover for <i>Achtung Baby</i>. And for a title to the album, I again took inspiration from <i>Achtung Baby</i>. "Achtung" is German for "danger." "Bersantai" is Indonesian for "relax."</span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia;">All tracks can be found on the "Super Deluxe" and "Uber Deluxe" versions of <i>Achtung Baby</i>.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia;">Here's a <a href="https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLunwkaXWmD5pGA0PgWQFJwmor2mvOUHOt" target="_blank">YouTube Playlist of the album</a>.</span></p>AEChttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18058398429644647446noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4765897099031396863.post-4971436947800962832022-08-07T12:34:00.176-07:002022-08-07T12:34:00.166-07:00Led Zeppelin - Post Breakup Albums<p class="MsoNoSpacing">For the first five albums, whenever Led Zeppelin had
additional songs that didn’t fit, the tracks were left in the vault. But with

the Light” and “The Wanton Song.” I like both songs so it wasn't easy -- and it's essentially why Zeppelin chose not to cut them and turned the album into a double.<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNoSpacing">Then, knowing what we know now from compilations and the remastered albums
with bonus tracks, I worked backwards and created three new albums that could
have been released following Led Zeppelin’s breakup.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi1JtTa29GQ2Om-CHdU89KO1JLLmGYGXMel0L4OMXUnPNywBPmXS2R-d-bG6U5h_SFBwXAmyYo1iXD4c5YQKf1M7Gx7P1wxmVs7cHwXZj_lUhP6424RT1OSPY-150Ap3PeGnxqdkS63Rqk/s2048/Triangulum+cover.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="2048" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi1JtTa29GQ2Om-CHdU89KO1JLLmGYGXMel0L4OMXUnPNywBPmXS2R-d-bG6U5h_SFBwXAmyYo1iXD4c5YQKf1M7Gx7P1wxmVs7cHwXZj_lUhP6424RT1OSPY-150Ap3PeGnxqdkS63Rqk/s320/Triangulum+cover.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><p class="MsoNoSpacing"><b>TRIANGULUM</b></p><p class="MsoNoSpacing"><o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNoSpacing">SIDE A<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNoSpacing"></p><ol style="text-align: left;"><li>Ozone Baby</li><li>Darlene</li><li>Bonzo’s Montreux</li><li>Wearing and Tearing</li></ol><o:p></o:p><p></p><p class="MsoNoSpacing"><o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNoSpacing"><o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNoSpacing">SIDE B<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNoSpacing"></p><ol style="text-align: left;"><li>In the Light</li><li>10 Ribs & All/Carrot Pod Pod (Pod)</li><li>The Wanton Song</li></ol><p></p><p class="MsoNoSpacing">If the first side looks familiar, that's probably because it's the same track list and order as the second side of <i>Coda</i>, including three outtakes from <i>In Through the Out Door </i>and John Bonham's drum track from 1976.

I chose <i>Triangulum </i>as the title because the Triangulum Galaxy apparently has a lot of hydrogen, which is the gas the filled the Hindenburg. How's that for random?

albums, but primarily from <i>III</i>, and including also "Hey, Hey, What Can I Do" that was originally released as a b-side to "The Immigrant Song." The last track has not actually been
officially released but is available on various bootlegs and on the web,
sometimes titled “Blues Medley.” For cover art, I used a stock photo of the abandoned English village of Tyneham and added titles. Albion is an alternative name for Great Britain, and is sometimes used poetically to refer to the island. So I titled the album <i>Albion Revisited</i> yet showing a ruined, abandoned town, which I thought was sort of symbolic.</p><p class="MsoNoSpacing">And there you have it: three albums of outtakes arranged close
to reverse chronologically. I think the release of these would have been better
than the somewhat haphazard way the tracks popped up over the years. I also think it would have been interesting if these had been released each year beginning in 1982 as it would have continued the band's album releases into the mid-'80s.<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNoSpacing"><o:p> </o:p></p><p>

The record company had scheduled a new Elvis Presley album, but the singer showed no interest in recording new material. A studio session was scheduled in January 1977, but Elvis either never showed up or dropped by the studio briefly and left (reports differ). </p><p class="MsoNormal">Producer Felton Jarvis had six songs recorded by Elvis in 1976 that had not yet appeared on an album, although two tracks (“Moody Blue” and “She Thinks I Still Care”) were issued as a single in November 1976.</p><p class="MsoNormal">To complete the album, Jarvis selected three songs that had been recorded live in concert in April 1976, as well as one other live song that had already appeared on the album <i>Elvis Recorded Live on Stage in Memphis </i>released in 1974 – a somewhat bizarre choice. The result, <i>Moody Blue</i>, was a fairly sad affair, especially when it ended up being the last new album released before Elvis died. The album included two live covers of Olivia Newton-John hits, a silly live version of The Diamonds' "Little Darlin'" as well as a good live version of "Unchained Melody," the best known version of which was recorded by the Righteous Brothers.</p><p class="MsoNormal">There was, however, another option. Had Jarvis reviewed earlier studio sessions, he would have discovered four tracks that could have been used instead.</p><p class="MsoNormal">SIDE A</p><p class="MsoNormal">1. Way Down</p><p class="MsoNormal">2. She Thinks I Still Care</p><p class="MsoNormal">3. Pledging My Love</p><p class="MsoNormal">4. Tiger Man</p><p class="MsoNormal">5. My Way</p><p class="MsoNormal">SIDE B</p><p class="MsoNormal">1. Moody Blue</p><p class="MsoNormal">2. He’ll Have to Go</p><p class="MsoNormal">3. It’s Easy for You</p><p class="MsoNormal">4. A Hundred Years from Now</p><p class="MsoNormal">5. For the Good Times</p><p class="MsoNormal">I used three of the 1976 songs to begin each side of the album, and used the four older tunes to end each side. The album kicks off with what would be the new single, “Way Down.” Of the six "new" tunes, it’s the closest thing to a rock song. And I followed it with "She Thinks I Still Care" and "Pledging My Love," the B-sides respectively of the “Moody Blue” and “Way Down” singles.</p><p class="MsoNormal">Despite having recorded it live a few times, this impromptu jam from 1975 is the only known studio version of “Tiger Man” that Elvis recorded. And unlike the live versions, this one is slower and funkier. “A Hundred Years from Now” is also a studio jam, this one recorded in 1970.</p><p class="MsoNormal">Both sides end with outtake recordings that seemingly should have been released much earlier. “My Way,” a song that basically became Frank Sinatra’s anthem, was recorded in 1971; and Kris Kristofferson’s “For the Good Times,” had been recorded in 1972.</p><p class="MsoNormal">While these changes don’t make <i>Moody Blue</i> a great album by any means, it would have seemed like a more complete album if it had been released. And theoretically, some new overdubs could have been made to give the older songs modern production touches to match the rest.</p><p class="MsoNormal">All tracks are available on the box set <i>Walk a Mile in My Shoes: The Essential ‘70s Masters</i>. I used cover art for an alternative version of the <i>Moody Blue</i> album I found online.</p><div><br /></div><p></p>AEChttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18058398429644647446noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4765897099031396863.post-71266513164056583132022-06-05T12:34:00.168-07:002022-06-28T16:20:38.838-07:00Sweet - "The Sweet" and "Ballroom Blitz"<p>After releasing their debut album <i>Funny How Sweet Co-Co Can Be</i> in 1971, The Sweet issued a big batch of singles before releasing their second LP <i>Sweet Fanny Adams</i> three years later in 1974.

<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><o:p>In the U.K., a compilation album titled <i>The Sweet's Biggest Hits </i>was released in December 1972, and it's very strange in that it includes five tracks that had appeared on <i>Funny How Sweet Co-Co Can Be</i>, which had just come out the year before. Imagine how ripped off a fan must have felt if they wanted all the band's songs up to that time, but had to buy two albums that shared tracks!</o:p></p><p class="MsoNoSpacing"><o:p>In the U.S. and Canada, a compilation album titled simply <i>The Sweet</i> was released in July 1973. It was self-titled because it was actually the band's debut LP in North America. Surprisingly, it only shares three tracks with the British compilation. </o:p></p><p class="MsoNoSpacing"><o:p>In putting this "new" album together, I took tracks the band released prior to early '73 that would have been better than either compilation. It's made up of the A and B sides of five singles released mostly in 1972, plus one outtake ("Be with You Soon"). And the tracks are all more bubblegum than glam. For a cover and a title, I chose to take the one used for the U.S./Canada compilation, remove song titles and enlarged the group photo a little.</o:p></p><p class="MsoNoSpacing"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEh80MThI5mC5Oe1_mMl454Ca_ehRq8Jc4PrFt3REAvonxVL40UZcIxc1X-JDuDRUgU9qSQ4YflKyGw1ieJHYH7kGtDnWyixvMmnnRfZYnVLR_JfmjmEF5XvBfrXsiynHD3Zims7pr_NhHt7KwF3J9JW_7ZXyQHYDEgvASqeVK3QEGKYQvpGm7kyQJ7_=s500" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="500" data-original-width="500" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEh80MThI5mC5Oe1_mMl454Ca_ehRq8Jc4PrFt3REAvonxVL40UZcIxc1X-JDuDRUgU9qSQ4YflKyGw1ieJHYH7kGtDnWyixvMmnnRfZYnVLR_JfmjmEF5XvBfrXsiynHD3Zims7pr_NhHt7KwF3J9JW_7ZXyQHYDEgvASqeVK3QEGKYQvpGm7kyQJ7_=s320" width="320" /></a></div><o:p><br /></o:p><p></p>

Now we can see (and hear) the band moving to a harder rock glam style. "Hell Raiser" is the only track that appeared on one of the compilation albums (North America). I chose "Ballroom Blitz" as both the lead-off track and the album title since it was such a big hit. And I used a cover of the single for the album cover.</p><p class="MsoNoSpacing">These two albums pick up all the miscellaneous tracks between <i>Funny How Sweet Co-Co Can Be</i> and <i>Sweet Fanny Adams</i>. And if you go with the British version of <i>Desolation Boulevard</i>, you'll be all caught up through 1974. </p><p class="MsoNoSpacing">There are loads of Sweet compilations from which to get these tracks.

I redid this album using only tracks that were recorded for Flair. Therefore, my version only includes five tracks from the one actually released. However, while the real version only included three tracks that featured the female backup singers The Dreamers, this version includes all six tracks he did with them, making the album title more appropriate. And finally, while the original had 10 songs, I've included a dozen. All of these songs were originally released from 1953 through 1955. </span><span class="LineBreakBlob BlobObject DragDrop SCXW149527172 BCX0" face="WordVisiCarriageReturn_MSFontService, Arial, Arial_EmbeddedFont, Arial_MSFontService, sans-serif" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; -webkit-user-drag: none; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 18.3458px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; user-select: text;"><br class="SCXW149527172 BCX0" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; -webkit-user-drag: none; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; user-select: text; white-space: pre;" /></span><span class="TextRun EmptyTextRun SCXW149527172 BCX0" data-contrast="auto" face="Calibri, Calibri_EmbeddedFont, Calibri_MSFontService, sans-serif" lang="EN-US" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; -webkit-user-drag: none; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-ligatures: none; line-height: 19.425px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; user-select: text;" xml:lang="EN-US"></span><span class="EOP SCXW149527172 BCX0" data-ccp-props="{"201341983":0,"335559739":160,"335559740":259}" face="Calibri, Calibri_EmbeddedFont, Calibri_MSFontService, sans-serif" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; -webkit-user-drag: none; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 19.425px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; user-select: text;"> </span></p></div><div class="OutlineElement Ltr SCXW149527172 BCX0" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; -webkit-user-drag: none; background-color: white; clear: both; cursor: text; direction: ltr; font-family: "Segoe UI", "Segoe UI Web", Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; margin: 0px; overflow: visible; padding: 0px; position: relative; user-select: text;"><p class="Paragraph SCXW149527172 BCX0" lang="EN-US" paraeid="{93b5b063-de85-4a63-8de8-a1d448c7eeb4}{192}" paraid="1825899559" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; -webkit-user-drag: none; background-color: transparent; color: windowtext; font-kerning: none; margin: 0px; overflow-wrap: break-word; padding: 0px; user-select: text; vertical-align: baseline;" xml:lang="EN-US"><span class="TextRun SCXW149527172 BCX0" data-contrast="none" face="Arial, Arial_EmbeddedFont, Arial_MSFontService, sans-serif" lang="EN-US" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; -webkit-user-drag: none; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-ligatures: none; line-height: 18.3458px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; user-select: text;" xml:lang="EN-US">One question I pondered is what label these albums would have or could have been issued on. Trying to untangle the Bihari record label businesses and make sense of it all is a chore. But basically, in the 1950s they released singles (45s and 78s) on their Modern, Flair, RPM, Meteor and Kent labels. LPs were released on the Modern label beginning in 1950, but they were mostly by jazz performers or collections by various artists. There was a plan for LPs on RPM beginning in 1957, but that ended after only one album. A new Bihari label, Crown Records, began issuing budget LPs, but not until 1957. I decided with few options in 1955, that had it been released at the time, the first Berry album would likely have been on the Modern label, and I used that label's logo on the cover.</span><span class="EOP SCXW149527172 BCX0" data-ccp-props="{"201341983":0,"335559739":160,"335559740":259}" face="Arial, Arial_EmbeddedFont, Arial_MSFontService, sans-serif" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent;

Initially, the group thought about creating an album with songs reflective of their childhood in Liverpool. This resulted in the songs "Strawberry Fields Forever" and "Penny Lane." Other early tracks included "When I'm Sixty-Four" and "Only a Northern Song." </p><p>However, the need for a new single resulted in the first two tunes being used as a double A-side. And since The Beatles normally kept singles separate from albums, neither "Strawberry Fields Forever" or "Penny Lane" made the album and the childhood theme was abandoned. Since then, some folks -- including producer George Martin -- have lamented that those two songs didn't make the album's track list. But even if they'd had a change of heart at the time, at least two, and maybe three, other songs would had to have been cut to make room. As it was, "Only a Northern Song" didn't show up for record buyers until the <i>Yellow Submarine</i> soundtrack the following year.</p><p>There was another alternative -- The Beatles could have made <i>Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band</i> into a double album. Here's my track list for what could have been:</p><p>SIDE A</p><p>1. Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band</p><p>2. With a Little Help from My Friends</p><p>3. Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds</p><p>4. Fixing a Hole</p><p>5. She's Leaving Home</p><p>6. Being for the Benefit of Mr. Kite</p><p>SIDE B</p><p>1. Good Morning Good Morning</p><p>2. When I'm Sixty-Four</p><p>3. Getting Better</p><p>4. Lovely Rita</p><p>5. Within You Without You</p><p>SIDE C</p><p>1. Only a Northern Song</p><p>2. Penny Lane</p><p>3. Strawberry Fields Forever</p><p>4. You Know My Name (Look Up the Number)</p><p>SIDE D</p><p>1. Carnival of Light</p><p>2. Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band (Reprise)</p><p>3. A Day in the Life</p><p>To double the size of <i>Sgt. Pepper's</i>, I included the two songs from the single, a few outtakes and one fake. Added tracks here include "Only a Northern Song," "Penny Lane," "Strawberry Fields Forever," "You Know My Name (Look Up the Number)" and "Carnival of Light."</p><p>I've always thought that "Good Morning Good Morning" would have made a better opening track for the second side rather than "Within You Without You," which I moved to the end of the second side.</p><p>"You Know My Name..." was unfinished during the <i>Pepper </i>sessions and not returned to until 1969 before it was released as a single B-side the following year. How much of the track was completed in 1967 is unknown, but presumably it could have been polished off at the time. "Carnival of Light" was a 13-minute sound collage that The Beatles recorded for the Million Volt Light and Sound Rave. It was heard in public that one and only time and has never been commercially released. Fake versions exist on YouTube (and frankly might actually turn out to be better than the real one).</p><p>I like how although each album side is close in length, the actual number of tracks progressively decreases by one. It wasn't deliberate, but seems so Pepperish anyway.</p><p>For a cover, I used the album's original artwork created by the Dutch design collective The Fool and added titles.</p>AEChttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18058398429644647446noreply@blogger.com7
