Captain Sensible - Women & Captain First (JPN release now deleted)

Recently reissued on Cherry Red UK (as was its twin, "The Power Of Love") with a whole heap of bonus tracks and fab liner notes - 36 tracks between them, including some real rarities. And I think it sounds pretty good, too.

 

Max Romeo - "Holding Out My Love To You" - features Keith Richards.

Sally Starr - "Our Gal Sal" - Sally, backed by Bill Haley's Comets (but not Bill).

 

It's an interesting album that was recorded by Doug Yule (who played almost of the instruments) with drumming assistance from Ian Paice. I liked it and I wished there was an official release on CD.

 

Correct...I owned a copy. I had to part with it a few years ago when I was temporarily poor. I will say that the mastering was not so great.

 

Chuck Mangione- Friends & Love
Chuck Mangione- Together

 

Some of choices already listed (The Creatones 2 lps, Argent "Counterpoints" and solo "Going Home"; Colin Blunstone Rocket label solo) but I may add:
the missing A&M titles from Head East
A&M label mates "Hudson & Ford" - an off-shoot of the Strawbs which had 4 lps
and "Trees". A Dane Canover record on MCA (if you like Thomas Dolby, you would go mad for this).

I have Planes, and I can tell you (if you don't own it), it's not going to win Colin any new fans if it's re-released. And boy, don't think I didn't want it to be great....

 

This?

Was just listening to Splinter and wishing the Dark Horse LPs and promo radio demos were on CD.

 

Oh, how I wish!

The critically acclaimed band Trees was pretty much a one-man-band but oh what a band it was! That one man, Dane Conover was from San Diego, CA I believe.

Ira Robbins of Trouser Press couldn’t praise the Sleep Convention album enough: He said, “That this album died the commercial death is not just incomprehensible, it’s criminal. ”

Heath Brothers-Live at the Public Theater

 

Skafish - s/t, I.R.S. (1980)
Skafish - Conversation, I.R.S. (1983)

At the time it came out, MCA was an incredibly poor label: Lousy roster, lousy A&R, lousy promotion, lousy management, a lot of corruption. "Music Cemetery of America" was right. The hits they did manage were flukes. A lot of decent records got buried by being on MCA at that time.

The Trees album was basically pushed out with little promotion, even by the anemic standards of MCA. A lousy cover that didn't properly represent the music inside was pretty much the icing on the cake. It never had a chance.

 

100% Whole Wheat from 1977...I lost it years ago and it still irks me!

 

Beatles - Love Songs

 

...Wow! I forgot this one!

J.D. Souther and Glenn Frey from '69.

My vinyl on Amos is minty fresh, but I'd love to have a nice CD, too.

The rocker "Run, Boy Run" is worth the price of admission alone...I wonder if any tapes still exist...master or otherwise?

To stay on thread topic, I submit:

Natural Gas - S/T (Joey Molland's band after he left Badfinger in '74-'75)...it's on Private Stock so I doubt if we will get anything in great quality, if anything, ever!

 

I have this on CD. It's their self-titled one that I want on CD.

 

They've both been teased in the last couple of years, but haven't actually been re-released:

CSN "ALLIES"
Stephen Stills "RIGHT BY YOU"

 

Dwight Twilley - Jungle (1984) and Wild Dogs (1986).

The Concerts for the People of Kampuchea (1981)

 

Buxx - Knickers Down A band out of Buffalo N.Y. Restropsect Records had annouced months & months ago that they were finally going to issue this on CD! Still no sign of this real classic rock CD!!

 

Cowboys International - The Original Sin

a great synthpop/post punk/new wave album

There was a Cowboys International CD released called "Revisited" which contains several tracks from that album, but the sound quality is amongst the worst I have ever heard on CD (original album sounded great on vinyl)
