…and now for something completely different! 424

We have a first entry each day that is a picture or a video, and only in that entry you can place your music links and requests (NO ALBUMS AFTER 2015 AND A LIMIT OF 3 EVERY DAY)! All the rest official posts will only allow comments related to the official posts and such. That way it will keep things much more organized and tidy.
Enjoy!

THESE SONGS SHOULD HAVE BEEN BIGGER HITS

Have you ever heard a song that you felt could've been a hit, if not for one small thing? It may have been because of the production or singing, or were too long and were not played, were not released as singles and hidden on albums, or simply on albums that nobody bought and some were simply not marketed well. Also, there are thousands of records that missed the grade simply because the competition was so intense, particularly in the 60's.

Lots of music slipped through the radio sifting process, and have become lost over time. Radio stations usually programme their playlists based on chart success. No sales or chart success led to no lasting memory of many of the songs. They became lost gems.

I trawled through my collection and have identified songs that were not big hits, many not at all. It was a frustrating yet delightful exercise. I could make so many more volumes of lost gems but decided to limit findings to 40 tracks per decade. These tracks are presented in 20 tracks per disc. Further, I have tried to pick four tracks per year of that decade. Some years in a particular decade had more powerful tracks and therefore some years may have had more tracks and others that had less. You may also say that there are other tracks that should also be included in these lists. And I agree. But limiting these track to 40 per decade make for a better compilation, rather than post everything.

I am pleased to present 12 discs in total covering each decade starting 1950's and ending 2000's that capture tracks that SHOULD have been bigger hits.

In this second post of "These Songs Should Have Been Bigger Hits" the Sixties and Seventies are represented. Next I will post the Eighties and Nineties...

I hope some of these forgotten gems may ring a long dormant bell. Enjoy these beautiful songs.

Today would have been Gene Clark's 74th birthday. Here are three albums by him.

Gene Clark – Beyond The Golden Sun (Hidden Treasures Vol. 4)

Gene Clark: acoustic guitar, vocals
Nicky Hopkins: piano, synthesizer, keyboards
Rick Danko: bass, vocals
John York: 12 string guitar, vocals
Pat Robinson: guitars, keyboards, vocals
Billy Darnell: guitar, vocals
Greg Thomas: drums, percussion
Le Roy P. Marinell: bass, vocals
Carla Olson: guitar, vocals

Produced by Pat Robinson

“Under The Silvery Moon” was originally a double CD of unreleased studio tracks (mostly new songs and some alternate takes) from the 80s, released in 2001, which was deleted days only after it was released, because the Gene Clark Estate didn’t agree with its release.

Later (in 2003), an “approved by the Gene Clark Estate” single CD was released with the same title, with 14 out of the 29 tracks only, many of them remixed.

Here are the tracks that were omitted from the official release.

1. When Jokers Are Wild (4:07) (Holler / Robinson)
2. You Better Move On (Version 1) (5:37) (Alexander)
3. Deportee (3:53) (Guthrie)
4. Almost Saturday Night (2:27) (Fogerty)
5. Dancing On The Moon (2:59) (Clark / Marinell / Robinson)
6. The Panther (4:43) (Clark / Robinson)
7. Gypsy Rider (4:08) (Clark)
8. Del Gato (4:54) (Clark / Clark)
9. Liona (5:16) (Clark / Robinson)
10. Washington Square (5:16) (Clark / Robinson)
11. With You I Can't Lose (4:40) (Clark / Robinson)
12. Dragon's Eye (5:56) (Clark / Robinson)
13. You Better Move On (Version 2) (4:24) (Alexander)
14. The Hurting Game (3:32) (Clark / Robinson)
15. That Part Of You (6:34) (Clark / Robinson)

Artwork Included

So, open a door and get started.

I'm still looking for the giant complete Kent download file if anyone knows where that exists. I found it a few years ago, but the links to volumes 150-300 were dead. I'd very much like to complete this collection.

Thank you all.

Greetings, follow citizens of TZland. I have a number of mixtape downloads, that is to say one long mp3 or flac of various tunes (which is my personal pet peeve, but that's me) and I want to split 'em up into separate tracks. Can anyone recommend a free software/utility to do such a job? No doubt this has been asked before, but I'm asking again. Thanks all.

Thank you for the link to your blog. It looks really great. I wish you luck and success with your new site .

Everyone here should look at it routinely. So many great shares and good quality.

Aging Child said...

@ButterBoy: thank you for more shoulda-coulda-woulda!

@JWDen: thank you for leading us down further corridors. And Arvo Pärt - I've got a small pile of his live work; do you (or does anybody else) need some?

@Philo: thank you for these latest from CMJ - and thank you for using up your full daily ration of uploads, every day, to share this big collection with us!

@TZ: I'm pulling together a double-disk compilation (about 45+ tracks), drawing mostly on 1970s-80s Top Forty. I have all the tracks already... but, annoyingly, about a dozen of them are old rips/downloads, and fall well below 320 KBpS. My hope is that many of the gang here will have the source CDs, or be able to direct me to an online resource.

So... does anybody have Elton John's 1975 "Rock of the Westies"? (I've got the vinyl... but no vinyl ripper.)

Either way... cheers!

By request, I'm in the midst of sharing what I've got of Sleepy John Estes's recordings. Unfortunately, with personal time really tight now, I can't write up, or even crib, a bio on him (and Hammie Nixon and Yank Rachell, et al.), and critiques of his albums, so I'll leave that as an exercise for the student instead.

Number of tracks and bitrates are as indicated; artwork's included, except where noted.

Sleepy John Estes (1929-74), part 2 of 5
1962 - George Mitchell Field-Recordings [4@320] (no artwork)
1962 - Goin' to Brownsville [22@320]
1962 - The Legend of Sleepy John Estes (with Hammie Nixon) [12@256]

I've done it in the past with Audacity, it's a little bit time-consuming but worked fine. I no longer have the software but I believe it's still freely available. Hope this maybe helps.
