Newish (1976>) compilation CD I made....

[doc smiley]

I made this compilation to play in the car and also when my non-"superfan"  friends are around....was looking for
a "Sounds of Summer" type set and found that this works pretty well...

1.California Dreaming
2.Its OK  ( wish there was a new remix... adding a backing falsetto vocal in the chorus like the Celebration version and also some type of opening tag)
3.Peggy Sue
4.Good Timin'
5.Hot Fun in The Summertime
6.Susie Cincinnati
7.Getcha Back
8.Under The Boardwalk
9.Rock and Roll Music  ( I'd have used the Hot Version, but my copy isn't good enough)
10.Roller Skating Child
11.Rock and Roll to the Rescue
12.Hot Summer Nights
13.Still Cruisin'
13.Crocodile Rock
14.You're Still A Mystery (should be released)
15.Goin' On
16.She Believes in Love again
17.California Calling
18.Sunshine
19.School Days (single version)

opinions?  ( remember this is for the Endless Summer crowd)

Use the 45 versions of Rock And Roll Music and It's OK, from Greatest Hits, Vol. 3 - The Brother Years!  I was wondering though...why "Hot Summer Nights"? "It's A Beautiful Day" would make a better choice.  I'd also add some more serious songs, say "Love Surrounds Me" or "Full Sail" in place of "Rock & Roll To The Rescue" and "School Days".

se the 45 versions of Rock And Roll Music and It's OK, from Greatest Hits, Vol. 3 - The Brother Years!  I was wondering though...why "Hot Summer Nights"? "It's A Beautiful Day" would make a better choice.  I'd also add some more serious songs, say "Love Surrounds Me" or "Full Sail" in place of "Rock & Roll To The Rescue" and "School Days".

The lyrics in IABD always were a bit of a put off while I found that non-fans seem to relate to "Hot Summer Nights" because of Jimmy Webb's chorus...  serious songs don't really work in context to this compilation... serious songs are not on "Endless Summer" either...what the set looks for is a newish "Don't F%$# with the Formula sound...

"The single version of "Its OK" different from the lp version??  I don't ever recall that... do know that the dj's hated the cold beginning to the song... I always thought that the backing vocal ideas in the Celebration version had merit... falsetto oh falsetto...

 "Love Surrounds Me" or "Full Sail" are great songs but don't really fit the formula.. you could use "Full Sail" instead of "Where I Belong" I suppose...

If I were to add a Dennis song ( love Dennis, don't get me wrong) I would go with "Rainbows" but Dennis really doesn't fit the f^%# formula ... and I'm keeping this comp to '76 onwards...

anyone notice that Kokomo is missing

my Wife made me add it to the disc after-the-fact...( last track)
