Power Pop Anthems

Power Pop Anthems: The 100 Greatest Power Pop Songs of All Time (5CD) (2021)

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

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

I have finally settled upon my 100 Greatest Power Pop Songs of All Time collection.

Pete Townshend, the guitarist and principal songwriter for The Who, is credited as the originator of the name “power pop.” He used the phrase to describe the type of music The Who performed in the late 1960s - 

upbeat, catchy, hook-driven - but the name wouldn’t catch on until the 1970s. "Pictures of Lily" was included in the Who album Meaty Beaty Big and Bouncy, a compilation of previously released singles.

Townshend coined the term "power pop" when he used it to describe the song in a May 1967 interview with NME.

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

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

These are the top 100 songs which are mentioned and feature most on all the power pop discussion forums and critics and fan lists.

There has never been a really good power pop compilation with a thorough overview from the 60s thru the 00s, and 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.

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.

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 !!??
