MR XXX PRESENTS .. New Wave Women - The 200 Greatest Songs (9CD) (2021) …

It was one of several shots taken by Michael Putland:

 

New Wave Women - The 200 Greatest Songs  (2021)

AVAILABLE HERE

I thought it would be a cool idea to compile the 200 greatest songs of New Wave women, 

either as solo artists, or female fronted bands from the New Wave era from the late 70s, 80s and into the early 90s.

There has never been a compilation on this scale to collect such a wide array of 

new wave/post punk female artists.

Hope you enjoy my final selection of many of the biggest records from that period, 

plus there are several shots from the photo session included in the Artwork folder.

All tracks are tagged correctly and in the correct running order of this compilation I have made..

UPDATE .. 

================

When I was compiling New Wave Women over the course of the last few weeks, 

I didn't realise the version of 'Saigon' by Martha and the Muffins I have on the CD release of Metro Music

is not the original single version. 

I actually own the original 7" single which I bought at Penny Lane in 1980 at a special price of only 35p! I always remember the owner (who I knew well) getting upset with me and saying "You shouldn't be

buying a record just because it's at a special promotional price and cheap." I told him I'd heard John Peel play it the night before and thought it was a fantastic single!

Thing is I haven't played it in over 40 years, and always assumed the album version was the same recording.

I just happened to come across it today on YouTube on Scott Davis' Rubellan Remasters channel:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g4wXzDw_EWU

I have to agree with him, that the re-recorded 7" single version is far superior to the album version upon hearing it again for the first time in 41 years.

The single version of the 'Echo Beach' follow up single. This re-recording is much better than the hum drum album version, and has never been released on CD.

I'm wondering if Scott remastered the single for inclusion on his YouTube channel, because it sounds AMAZING, like all his work.

Anyway, I'm sending you this far superior recording if you'd like to delete track # 181 ..

Or keep both .

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)

https://superdeluxeedition.com/news/now-thats-what-i-call-music-9/

This CD now matches exactly the original 1987 release.

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.

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.

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:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Convoy_(1978_film)

https://www.discogs.com/Various-Music-From-The-Motion-Picture-Convoy/release/1625136

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.

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.
