I made a Talking Heads singles compilation using the DVD-Audio 5.1 remixes. I downmixed to stereo and recreated any edits based off of the original single edits. But I let "The Lady Don't Mind" have a special cold ending (which is only on the 5.1 mix) instead of fading the song out. TALKING HEADS SINGLES (REMIXED) 1.

Not terribly recent, but I'm pleased with it. This CD compilation fills an 80 minute CD with the absolute best of THE MERSEYBEATS and THE MERSEYS. The best quality available of each track was used. A few rare tracks were included and the alternate version of the classic "Sorrow" has been speed-corrected. A great collection for an under-rated British Invasion group that TRULY collects the best (according to my tastes). THE BEST OF THE MERSEYBEATS & MERSEYS 1. It's Love That Really Counts 2. The Fortune Teller 3. I Think of You 4. Mister Moonlight 5. The Things I Want to Hear (Pretty Words) 6. Don't Turn Around 7. Really Mystified 8. Milkman 9. Last Night (I Made a Little Girl Cry) 10.

Iggy Pop and Bowie collaborated off and on over many years throughout the 70s and 80s. It’s no secret that Bowie was significantly inspired and influenced by The Stooges groundbreaking late-60s/early-70s period, going on to produce the 1973 landmark album Raw Power. This compilation provides an insight into the breadth and depth of further collaborations for better or for worse, yet always interesting. Sister Midnight – Opening track off Iggy’s 1977 comeback, and Bowie-produced, Berlin-era The Idiot. What in the World – Bowie’s Low album released early-1977. Underrated track, features Iggy prominently on backing vocals. Tonight – The title track to the second album released by Iggy in 1977 (Lust for Life). One of his finest moments. Disastrously covered by Bowie (featuring Tina Turner) on his ill-defined 1984 album of the same name…more of that to come. Little Miss Emperor – The first of three Pop/Bowie co-writes, these tracks lifted from Iggy’s, very good, Bowie-produced Blah Blah Blah (1986) album. Sure, massive 80s production values, but they’re good songs. Check’em out: Isolation Shades Tiny Girls – Revisiting Iggy’s The Idiot. This track conjuring a smoky, late-night Berlin club. Includes some lovely baroque sax from Bowie throughout. Neighborhood Threat – Another track off Iggy’s Lust for Life and another one questionably covered by Bowie on Tonight. Play it Safe – This track taken from Iggy’s underrated Soldier (1980). Jim Kerr from Simple Minds: “In 1979 Simple Minds went to Rockfield studios in the Welsh countryside to record our second album. It’s probably our most Bowie influenced work. We were in the small studio just teenagers and we were like; Who’s in the big studio? It turned out it was Iggy Pop recording Soldier. One night Iggy comes through our door, talk about worse for wear! Bowie’s with him, holding a can of Heineken, and he goes ‘Skin Up!’ We hung out for a bit and then they disappeared. Twenty minutes later we get a call from the engineer in Studio A, “David would like you all to come round for a football crowd type chorus”. So we pile round pretty drunk, girlfriends and all. Bowie’s taking charge and he’s still got a Heineken and a fag, and we’re all around the mike for this track called Play it Safe. I remember Bowie saying very diplomatically “OK, sounds good. Now, can everyone who doesn’t sing professionally, step away from the mike”. That left me, aged 19, sandwiched between Bowie and Iggy Pop. Not one person had a ****ing camera!“ Bang Bang – Another track by Iggy, this one lifted from his Party (1981) album. Bowie again covering this on his less-than-stellar Never Let Me Down (1987). Tumble and Twirl – Finally a track from the much maligned Tonight. This fresh co-write with Iggy references their island travels in Borneo and, enjoy it or not, there’s nothing quite like it. I happen to love it. Dancing with the Big Boys – Another fresh original off Bowie’s Tonight, co-written with Iggy and Bowie mainstay Carlos Alomar. Includes some fantastic non-sequiturs only Iggy could dream up eg:”where there’s trouble there’s poetry” and “your family is a football team“. Don’t Look Down – Third and final Tonight track. Bowie’s cover of superb Iggy/James Williamson original from his essential New Values (1979). Bowie approaches this in reggae fashion for some reason. Made for excellent incidental music for the Julian Temple-directed mini-film Jazzin’ for Blue Jean. China Girl – Iggy’s towering original version lifted from The Idiot. Bowie covered it in 1983 beautifully, for his mega-hit album Let’s Dance. Lust for Life – Co-written by David Bowie and title track to Iggy’s 1977 album (featuring the Sales brothers, later from cleansing rock project Tin Machine). Considered something of a signature Iggy Pop song, and for good reason. Red Money – Tying things up nicely, this closing track from Bowie’s otherworldly Lodger (1979) album, reworking this compilation’s opener Sister Midnight.
Paul McCartney - Give My Regards to Broad Street, Redux 1. No More Lonely Nights (Single/ballad) 2. I Love This House 3. Not Such a Bad Boy 4. No Values 5. We Got Married (1984 version) 6. Eleanor Rigby/Eleanor's Dream 7. Your School (outtake) 8. Lindiana (outtake) 9. No More Lonely Nights (Playout Version) 10. Goodnight Princess I can't stand re-recordings for the most part, so the original album is pretty unlistenable for my taste. This helped curb my collector's OCD.
Stevie Ray Vaughan - Couldn't Stand The Weather, The Extras Another mopping up exercise. CSTW had a strong album's + of bonus material spread across various reissues/deluxe editions and also The Sky Is Crying album. 1. Empty Arms (VASTLY superior to the dreadful Soul to Soul version) 2. Come On, Part III 3. Look at Little Sister 4. The Sky Is Crying 5. Hide Away 6. Give Me Back My Wig 7. Stang's Swang (Alternate) 8. Close to You 9. Boot Hill 10. Wham 11. Little Wing
Stones Alone. Take It So Hard – Taken from Keith Richards’ first solo album Talk is Cheap (1988). I Can Feel the Fire – Opener off Ronnie Wood’s first solo album I’ve Got My Own Album To Do (1974), features Mick and Keith among others. Put Me in the Trash – Stones-y Mick Jagger solo track taken from Wandering Spirit (1993). Slow Blues – A Mick Taylor bluesy instrumental highlighting his astonishing fretwork, taken from his underrated 1979 self-titled solo album. (You Got to Walk And) Don’t Look Back – Jagger joins Peter Tosh on this 1978 solo outing. Nothing On Me – One of the many outstanding tracks off Keith’s Crosseyed Heart (2015) album. Too Many Cooks (Spoil the Soup) – Jagger solo track dating back to 1974 produced by John Lennon during his lost weekend in LA, featuring such musicians as Jim Keltner on drums, Bobby Keys on sax and Harry Nilsson on backing vocals. How I Wish – Excellent track from Keith’s Talk is Cheap. Wicked As It Seems – Taken from Keith’s Main Offender (1992). Snowy Wood – Pre-Stones Mick Taylor guitarist on John Mayall album Crusade(1967), this track the album centerpiece. Sweet Thing – Another track off Mick’s quite good Wandering Spirit. Big Enough – Opening track off Keith’s Talk is Cheap. Just Another Night – Minor hit for Mick off Stones-splintering solo debut She’s the Boss (1985). Eileen – Excellent track from Keith’s Main Offender. Robbed Blind – Best song off Keith’s Crosseyed Heart album. It Hurts Me Too – Mick, Bill, Charlie with Ry Cooder and Nicky Hopkins waiting for Keith to arrive. Elmore James penned song although Mick sings Dylan’s Pledging My Time as well. Appears on unofficial bootleg Jamming With Edward (1972). Hurricane – Keith on acoustic, this powerful non album single was released in 2005 in the wake of Hurricane Katrina. Breathe On Me – Ron Wood solo track off Now Look (1975). I Wanna Get Me a Gun – The Stones caused riots. Bill Wyman’s debut solo outing Monkey Grip (1974) is a riot. This opening track is no exception. Hard Woman – Much maligned personal favourite would’ve made a good Stones ballad – proves Mick was holding off the best songs for his solo album She’s the Boss displeasing Keith somewhat (see track 22). Far East Man – Another soulful Ron Wood number from I’ve Got My Own Album To Do. You Don’t Move Me – Keith poison pen song to Mick when the band splintered in the mid-80s, and he doesn’t miss. From Talk is Cheap.
So the Jackson 5 have almost an entire separate discography of material spread across compilations and remasters and box sets etc. There's an alternate album for almost every J5 release. Or there's enough material to augment/re arrange an already existing album for the better (imo). It's STUPID how many excellent recordings are out there just wasting away in the ether! Here are some of my mopping up exercises. I worked really hard on sequencing them to flow as proper albums: #1. ABC- The Sessions 1. ABC (Alternate) 2. Don't Let Your Baby Catch You 3. You Ain't Giving Me What I Want 4. I Hear a Symphony 5. Keep An Eye 6. Man's Temptation 7. That's How Love Is 8. I Got a Sure Thing 9. A Fool For You 10. Love Comes In Different Flavors 11. I'm Your Sunny One 12. We Can Have Fun 13. I Was Made to Love Her 14. Money Honey
Cool idea but no tracks from 2 of my favorites Ronnie Wood's Gimme Some Neck and Mayall's Blues From Laurel Canyon with Mick Taylor.

Nope, it's Grace Slick; hence the title. These are all Jefferson Airplane, Starship (original 1970 incarnation) or Kantner/Slick side projects from 1968-1973. Silver Spoon is the opening track on 1971's Sunfighter. A great lost masterpiece, IMO.
