…and now for something completely different! 426

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 third post of "These Songs Should Have Been Bigger Hits" the Eighties and Nineties are represented. Next post the balance of Nineties and and both 2000's discs...

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

Booker T. – Uptight

Music From The Score Of The Motion Picture

Stax STS 2006 (USA 1968)

Booker T. Jones (keyboards, vocals on track 1)
Steve Cropper (guitar)
Donald “Duck” Dunn (bass)
Al Jackson (drums)

Judy Clay (vocals on track 3)

UpTight is a soundtrack album by southern band Booker T. & The M.G.'s for the film of the same title. The album's highlights include "Time Is Tight", the single version of which became a US Top 10 hit (the second biggest of their career) and a signature song for the band. The version of "Time Is Tight" included here is an alternate recording, which differs from the single version in several respects: it is in stereo, it is played at a faster tempo, it runs almost two minutes longer (4'55"), and it includes both an extended introduction and an instrumental "breakdown" (beginning around 3'30"), neither of which are in the single version. "Johnny, I Love You" (the B-side of "Time Is Tight") features a rare vocal by keyboardist Booker T. Jones. Judy Clay provides vocals on "Children, Don't Get Weary." The album was recorded at Stax Records' studios by Ron Capone, produced by Jones, and was overdubbed and mixed at Ardent Studios by Steve Cropper and Terry Manning. The album charted at number 98 on the Billboard 200 album chart and number 7 on the Billboard R&B albums chart.

1. Johnny, I Love You (3:04)
2. Cleveland Now (3:12)
3. Children, Don't Get Weary (3:37)

Crank up the Monday wattage, because this comp starts out with BTO, Deep Purple, Ozzy, Iron Maiden, and Motorhead. How do we get from there to Mama Cass solo? Ask The Boomtown Rats and Kiki Dee among others. Given what I've already told you about the artwork, I'll bet you can just imagine the cover.

With all the Screamin' Jay Hawkins that's being shared, I figured folks would like to read this review of "I Put A Spell On Me;" the only documentary I know of on the man himself:

I believe the documentary is still up on YouTube and is worth a look!

@Timebender

Thanks for the Pavement. I have to admit though that I deleted your files immediately - they are not FLAC, as stated in your post, but WMA. Maybe I am too paranoid, but I never open WMA files (especially if they have been announced as being a different format).

Stinky said...

Searnav: Thanks for the Booker T.!

Butterboy: Thanks for the should'a been hits! I have a similar compilation (one volume) "Call The Cops! They Got Robbed!" that I'll share down the line.

Here's what I'm sharing today!

David Cassidy Then & Now
https://www4.zippyshare.com/v/ApHaD6P4/file.html

Then & Now was David Cassidy's 16th solo album, released in 2002. It was a big hit in the UK, reaching #5 in the album charts & going Platinum. It contains new recordings of songs previously released on other albums. Yet, it’s actually a good album.

You learn a thing or two cutting records and performing thousands of concerts, and Cassidy delivers to a larger degree than you'd expect. And let us not forget that his father and step-mother were also world-renowned singers/recording artists.

I saw him David live with Danny Bonaduce opening doing stand-up (if you want to call it that). Danny's best joke was: "They called me and asked me if I wanted to do this (stand-up) and I said that I'd never done it before--and then I thought; Waitaminute... driving around the country in a bus with David Cassidy?
Maybe I have done this before."


Tracks:
01 I Think I Love You
02 Could It Be Forever
03 How Can I Be Sure
04 I Woke Up In Love This Morning
05 Daydreamer
06 I Can Feel Your Heartbeat
07 It's One Of Those Nights (Yes Love)
08 I Write The Songs
09 Rock Me Baby
10 Some Kind Of A Summer
11 Looking Through The Eyes Of Love
12 I'll Meet You Halfway
13 If I Didn't Care
14 Cherish
15 The Last Kiss
16 Ain't No Sunshine
17 Lyin' To Myself
18 Cry
19 No Bridge I Wouldn't Cross
20 Sheltered In Your Arms
21 Ricky's Tune
22 Could It Be Forever

Many thanks for the words of support.
@ Burney Redding
Thanks for the four missing tracks. Actually, I've had the fifth (The Texans). Well, sometimes it happens that missing track is not missing but not traced. Now, for 1961, we are reaching the level of 35 missing B-sides and one A-side (I have it but can't find where it is).

lossless, flac etc all fell under the same umbrella basically.
The discs were ripped with windows media player so you are
indeed correct about the WMA, I just realized. I'll be sure
to state the correct term and file type on future posts.
My apologies for any inconvenience.

@ Butterboy
Thank you very much for the third batch of your "should have beens"

@ Searnav
Thanks a lot for The Flying Burrito Brothers – Eye Of The Hurricane

@ JWDen
Thank you for the next Un-compilation

Timebender... thanks for your upload but I think you'll find most people around here prefer either FLAC (if they are audio snobs) or MP3 (if they're old and half-deaf like me). There's plenty of free encoding apps out there that will rip to MP3 (even iTunes). I use http://www.freerip.com/ but there are plenty of other good ones out there.

@H L Keel Vol 2,5,8,9,11 are currently missing. In an earlier post, I mistakenly labeled vol 94 as 9.

@skipmoose

Curiosity Shop 6 was only released in 2017 and Beatfreak 9 was released earlier this year and as such cannot be posted.

Rules is rules is rules......

@skipmoose

It would seem that the same applies to the Teen Town USA releases 20-24 as applies to the Beatfreak and Curiosity Shop releases. They are all 2017/2018 releases. Not sure whether 25 is out yet but if you've seen the cover its likely imminent if its not yet out.

@Bob and @monty

I am sure one day I will deeply regret not accepting your offers for more Mormon Tabernacle Choir music. However, tunnel vision for Christmas choirs seems to be my most recent focus. I do appreciate that you both took the time to look these up! Perhaps after the holidays, I may revisit your offers, and return to begging you for more MTC music. A thousand thanks for the offer!

Hey Timebender, no hard feelings! Thanks for contributing stuff here in the first place!

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 4 of 5
1968 - Electric Sheep [13@160] (no artwork)
1972 - Blues at Home [24@320] (no artwork)
1974 - On 80 Highway (with Hammie Nixon) [17@248-258]

Tomorrow: a quick, two-f'r wrap-up...

Cheers!

Aging Child said...

@ButterBoy: thank you for giving these "forgotten gems" a great second chance.

@JWDen: thank you for more fine reasons to lounge.

PS re Arvo Pärt: I'll start sharing those live works in a couple more days. And re artwork: there was almost none to find online, so the presentation's going to be a bit bare-bones... with an apology.

@Philo: thanks as always for the ongoing CMJ new music.

Cheers!

@TZ: I downloaded two versions of MP3 Direct Cut, but neither would unpack for me, so I'm going to try Audacity next; objective = to snip "Movement 3" from its longer track in Vangelis' "Heaven and Hell" - with thanks again to JWD for the original upload, and an opportunity to experiment in audio editing.

Meanwhile... does anyone have Ronnie Milsap's 1977 "Almost Like a Song" CD at or near 320 KBpS? I'm hoping to upgrade from an old 128K download.

Thanks, and cheers!

Greetings to all in the zone! Since I've gotten so much from this amazing blog, thought I'd share for the first time - Some time back, Ryp/Gyro shared the six-volume Complete Ric And Ron Recordings. At that time I noted that there was a volume 7, but nobody seemed to know about it. Well, here it is:

The Complete Ric & Ron Recordings, Vol. 7: Classic New Orleans R&B And More, 1958-1965

@Naz Fride - Thanks for the freerip link, I'll be checking it out.

@Chris - No problems, thanks for pointing that out because I have posted
quite a few links ripped the same way assuming they were flacs.

@YankeeBoy - You're welcome for the Cavedogs re-up, be sure to check
out the compilation @montysmusic provided earlier. It is actually
even more rare than I thought, so thanks again to Monty for tracking
down that one.

@lorcan white - Good to see you back, I hope all is well.
I'm not familiar with Blaze Foley, lookin forward to hearing, thanks.

@KSN - You're welcome for the Pollard & Buckley posts you mentioned last week.

Poptopia, a blog? I know very well about Tony Perkins' Poptopia power pop LA music fest in the latter 90s (attended a couple), and Rhino's corresponding Poptopia power pop comps, but curious what Anon references.

Thank You For Those Ric & Ron !

I will repost the Pavement deluxe again in the future.
It has an issue with track 3 on disc 2 that has been brought
to my attention. I'm hoping the disc isn't damaged because
it had never been used prior.

Anonymous said...

...Timebender said...

Here is track 3 of disc 2 from the Pavement [deluxe]
if anyone is experiencing any issues. Maybe something happened
during the rip? Luckily the the disc seems fine so far.
Hit me up for any other tracks that seem wonky and they
will be addressed.
