The Beatles "2" (Blank Frank Edition)

From 2012: One of these years, I think the surviving Beatles will get around to putting out their own version. Until that time comes here is my version of the "2" album. My criteria was that it had to fit on one CD and it must include the "B" sides of the "1" album and other singles that never made onto "1", using only UK and USA chart info, just like "1" did. Also, there can be no duplication from the "1" LP.

I did not include the Capitol Green Swirl 45s, such as "Boys" or "Kansas City" and to make it fit onto one CD, I had to leave out some of the US 45s from A Hard Days Night - I think those were released only because United Artists had the rights to the soundtrack album in the USA. These are @320 and tagged with original artwork.

So here goes, it uses only 2009 remastered versions. Notes on why I have included some songs are noted below. Thanks to A-1 for providing the inspiration for this post!

1 P.S. I Love You

Melanie - God's Only Daughter: The Complete US Singles 1967-77

Unhappy with her existing compilations, I started this quickie project last night and just completed it.  After that, her career appeared to be running into trouble. This is about all of the stuff that matters in her career, from eccentric folk singer to pop song stylist to hippy Earth Mama. All @320 and tagged with its original sleeves/labels. Much of this set is pretty hard to find. Someone really should put together an authoritative authorized compilation so her career can be properly remembered. "LP Version" means that I was unable to locate the actual single version!

The Complete US Elvis Presley Singles Collection

With the appearance of the Mono Masters box, only now has it been possible to put together this set. So here it is: every single ever released by The King, both "A"s and "B"s all in the original vinyl mixes. I did exclude a few that I thought didn't fit in, such as when RCA put out every track from the first LP, or some gospel singles that were recorded and released many years apart.

As I like to do, every track is tagged with either it's label or picture sleeve, and if the flip side had different art, it was also tagged separately. All at 320, seven volumes 184 tracks with artwork and a tracklist included in vol 7. These are all mono (bar Charro) until the end of 1971. Honestly, I don't hear much difference between the mono and stereo mixes, but at least these are authentic.

I like these single collections because (IMO) they strike the balance between the familiar, the rare and has a way of telling the whole story with enough detail to stay interesting. Every time I put one of these together, I always wonder why it hasn't ever been done earlier. After all, who has had more posthumous releases than Elvis?

Bowie - Fifty-Two Years: The Complete Singles [2019 Update]

You might remember this one that was put together after Bowie's passing. But now, four years later, I think it needs an update.  If you've never seen this set, it is both sides of every Bowie single, including collaborations, or other singles that he was audibly involved in.  Things got more complicated when he stopped making 45s and moved to CD singles, with all the bonus tracks and remixes.  I didn't want this to be bogged down with all of that.

  I remembered the comments from Willard's and have taken those into account. I got the most flack (pardon the pun) for not having the original UK version of "Rebel Rebel".  That's now fixed as I found there was a three-month difference between the UK & US (so no need to have the same song played twice in a row).  I also found a B-Side that had previously never found its way to CD/digital (Lady Grinning Soul US Single Edit). Diamond Dogs (Australian Single Edit) was added along with Breaking Glass (Australian Single Version), Art Decade (Studio Version), Yassassin (Netherlands Single Version), and the Bertolt Brecht's Baal EP. On top of that, I replaced most single versions, previously found on many different sources with sometimes questionable quality with the Re:Call CDs from the yearly Bowie boxes.

The other big complaint was not including tracks from Bowie's unreleased Toy album.  Some appeared as CD bonus tracks.  I still don't know what to do about that yet but here it is and I'd like your feedback!

Message Of Love: Pretenders Singles 1979-2017

A nice little project I put together after getting a huge Pretenders discography. Even then, I had to search for a bunch of really difficult to find B-sides. This is the whole story and surprisingly listenable, it came out really nice - everything you'd expect with its share of rarities that it a wonderful way to explore Chrissy and the boys' music. All @ 320 and each single is tagged with its original cover. Please let me know if you find any errors or omissions.

Marvin Gaye - Come Get To This: The Complete Singles

I made this as a reaction to the "new" You're The Man LP.  I love it and hate it at the same time.  One of these days, I'll reconfigure it to reflect closer to what the 1972 album could/should/would have been like.  The other reason is all of those seemingly hundreds of greatest hits-style repackages out these.  In the 35 years since Marvin passed, his legacy has been tainted, IMO, by the mismanagement of his catalog.  This is my attempt to partially put it right.

In the beginning, this project was easy: just grab the track from the Complete Motown Singles Collections.  After 1972, this project entered the Twilight Zone.  Single mixes/edits were scattered across different collections and in many cases, did not exist at all. It was like being on some ridiculous treasure hunt, without the fun.

Enter the "BF Edited" versions.  On some of these tracks, where I could, I did fade-ins, fade-out and cut them to the actual single length.  If you think this is blasphemous, please think of these, as I do, as placeholders for whenever the correct version finally appears. I think they turned out pretty good.  I challenge you to guess which ones I edited without looking at the tracklist!

As you can see below, every single in his lifetime is included, including duets, rarities, and a couple promo-only with a final volume of posthumous singles.  This set turned out nice, listenable and does a pretty good job of showing all of Marvin's career.  Each single is tagged with original A-Side art/label. @320.  Enjoy.  He's the man!
