MR XXX PRESENTS .. Now That's What I Call Music! - Volume 9 (2021 Remaster) (2CD) (1987)

LISTEN TO MY JUKEBOX!

Now That's What I Call Music! - Volume 9 (2021 Remaster) (2CD) (1987)


AVAILABLE HERE VOL 9


Amazingly, only ONE major error on the official CD release of 1987's NOW 9!


Just two incorrect versions this time around, which I have fixed.


Taffy - I Love My Radio (The version here is 4:07 and matches the one used on Now More Forgotten ’80s. It is listed as Radio Version on Spotify and looks like it dates from 1985. It’s worth noting that the original Now 9 LP did not contain the spring 1987 hit version – you know the one that goes “my DeeJay’s radio” – but instead gave us I Love My Radio (Midnight Radio) (US Remix) which was also released in 1985 and runs for 3:22)


Gary Moore - Over the Hills and Far Away (The original Now 9 LP contained the 7″ mix which was timed at 4:38. Here we get an slightly shorter version – 4:24 in length – that also featured on the CD single of Wild Frontier & subsequent Various compilations)

This CD now matches exactly the original 1987 release.

MR XXX PRESENTS ..100 Greatest Hair Metal Songs of All Time (Super Deluxe Edition) (6CD) (2021)

 100 Greatest Hair Metal Songs of All Time (Super Deluxe Edition) (6CD) (2021)


AVAILABLE HERE …




















Following weeks and weeks of extensive research reading through critics polls, readers and listeners polls,

online discussion forums votes (Steve Hoffman), Wikipedia insight, my own recollections and favourites, 

I have finally settled upon my 100 Greatest Hair Metal Songs of All Time collection.


Compiled after exhaustive and extensive research, including the songs which feature most on the many many lists of the best and greatest hair metal tracks ever made:

critics lists, readers lists, online discussion forums, TV countdowns, etc.


Like my previous 'greatest' collections, my goal was to include the very, very best of the genre,

the cream of the crop, and to add a number of tracks you just never see on compilations due to licensing, music rights issues, etc.


What could be better than 7 and a half hours of headbanging, earthshaking, squealing guitar rock !!??

The Best of Reggae - Original Stars - Original Hits (K-Tel NE 498 UK) (2021 Doctor Bird Expanded Edition) (2CD) (1973)

It's great news that Cherry Red's Doctor Bird label have just released this best selling TV advertised album from the 70s on CD.
In fact, this is the very first time any K-Tel, Ronco, Arcade, etc. TV advertised album from the 70s has ever been officially released on CD.

K-Tel originally released 'The Best of Reggae' double album set in the UK in 1973. 

Doctor Bird have expanded the original album to include a second disc of 27 bonus tracks, but unfortunately the original album is missing two;
'Wonderful World, Beautiful People' by Jimmy Cliff and 'Take Me Home, Country Roads' by Toots & the Maytals, plus the running order has been
changed in a few places.



Here is my fully restored original 30 track compilation with the correct running order on disc 1, plus the second Doctor Bird bonus disc of 27 tracks.
The second disc contains a few tracks which have never been released on CD before, so makes for a very interesting compilation.


The Trojan Story (2021, 50th Anniversary Super Deluxe Edition) (3CD) (1971)

The Trojan Story was the first ‘various artists’ compilation of Jamaican music; a comprehensive anthology of the island’s musical development, featuring vintage ska, rock steady and reggae music.

Trojan originally released this first compilation of Jamaican music 50 years ago in 1971. To celebrate its 50th anniversary, they recently reissued it for the very first time on CD.
Sadly, Trojan have lost the rights to 11 of the original tracks. Luckily, I had them in my collection from previous Trojan CD compilations over the years, so I've added all 11 of the missing songs 
as bonus tracks to each CD of the 3CD set.




The 100 Greatest Reggae Songs of All-Time (2021 Super Deluxe Edition) (7CD) (2021)

My own compilation.

I came across a couple of errors and glitches in a few of the original files. 
These have now been fully updated and corrected.

Convoy - Music from the Motion Picture (Capitol Records UA-LA910-H US) (2021 Expanded Edition) (1978)

Originally released by Capital Records in 1978 this is the official soundtrack album from the film of the same name:



The title track by C.W. McCall is a new version of his 1975/1976 #1 worldwide hit, written especially for the film, with saltier language!

The original album was a very short 10 tracks which ran to just over 29 minutes. I have expanded it to contain an additional 17 classic country tracks,

which were all released before 1978, the original album release date. It now runs to a 27 track, 78:52 minute CD length. Fully remastered.


The album was re-released on a long out of print CD in Germany in 1987 and is virtually impossible to find now, but if you're lucky enough to find a copy expect to pay

upwards of $200!


Plus a few recent classic soul acquisitions:



Soul Power - 20 Original Artists - 20 Original Hits (Arcade ADE H16 NLD) (2021, 45th Anniversary Expanded Edition) (1976)

Originally released by Arcade in 1976, this was a Netherlands only compilation featuring 20 smash soul hits,
which were also hits in the UK and worldwide over the years. It was produced in collaboration with Atlantic Records,
so I have expanded the original running time of 56:01 to a 79:43 minute CD length adding 8 additional Atlantic classic soul tracks
all released before 1976, the original album release date.



The Three Degrees - A Toast of Love (1976)

Hard to find Japanese only release from 1976 and never released on CD.



New Censation - New Censation (1974)

Hard to find 1974 soul album never released on CD.



Leon Haywood - Soul Cargo (2014 Expanded Edition) (1966)

William DeVaughn - Be Thankful for What You Got (2019, 45th Anniversary Chelsea Records 180g Vinyl LP Expanded Edition) (1974)

Classic 1974 soul album now includes 5 bonus tracks, 4 of them being the shorter 7" 45 single mixes.



Robert Knight - Everlasting Love (2021 Expanded Edition) (1967)

This one and only album by soul legend Robert Knight has never been released on CD. 
First ever digital release of this long lost and hard to find 1967 soul album, expanded by three bonus tracks,

Side by Side - Original Rocking Hits - Original Motion Picture Soundtrack

 (Pickwick Records SHM 902 UK) (2021 Expanded Edition) (1977)


HERE


Originally released by Pickwick Records in 1977, 

this is the original motion picture soundtrack to the 1975 film 'Side by Side'. 

Strange that the soundtrack was released a full two years after the film, but anyway...


Includes the very hard to find 'Side by Side (Together)' by Twogether (Lynsey de Paul and Barry Blue), which was only released on this album.


A couple of tracks featured in the film were not included on the soundtrack album, namely: 'Israelites' by Desmond Dekker and The Aces and

'Fancy Pants' by Kenny. I've included these two tracks along with a few other bonus tracks to tie in with the film, now making a 25 track, 78:59 minute CD.

All tracks are the highest quality digital remasters released to date. Never before released on CD.

Believe in Music - 22 Original Hits - 22 Original Stars (K-Tel TU 227 US) (2021 Remaster) (1972)


Originally released by K-Tel in 1972, this was a US and Canada only compilation featuring 22 smash hits.

There were two versions of the album: 'Mama Weer All Crazee Now' by Slade was featured on most editions,

but there was one edition where it was substituted for 'Let Your Yeah Be Yeah' by Brownsville Station.

I have included both tracks on this 2021 remaster, making it 23 tracks with a CD running time of 78:23.
