Title: Tracks by Blondie and Rikki? Post by: TheLazenby on June 13, 2012, 01:47:53 PM Simple question here for the hardcores....
What were all the tracks that focused specifically on the Flame members? I can think of "Here She Comes", "Hold On Dear Brother", "We Got Love", "Leaving This Town", and the fantastic "Hard Times" - not to mention, Blondie singing lead on "Sail On Sailor." Is there anything else they did for the Beach Boys?? Title: Re: Tracks by Blondie and Ricky? Post by: Paulos on June 13, 2012, 02:14:32 PM Funky Pretty and He Come Down feature Blondie quite prominently as do the unreleased songs It's A New Day and Carry Me Home which were written by Dennis. Would really like the two aforementioned songs plus Hard Times and We Got Love to feature on a new rarities collection but I don't think it will happen as Blondie doesn't appear to have a very good relationship with the surviving Beach Boys which is a real shame.
Oh, and it's Ricky, not Rikki. Title: Re: Tracks by Blondie and Rikki? Post by: Disney Boy (1985) on June 13, 2012, 03:14:41 PM Agreed re It's A New Day and, in particular, Carry Me Home. Further to the recent Wouldnt It Be Nice To Live Again thread, yet more shamefully neglected Dennis gems more than worthy of release.

And, of course, he had Blondie sing It's a New Day and part of Carry Me Home. No one really talks much about Michael and Al's feelings on them, though. Ricky has mentioned in the past that Brian was at least aware of their presence.

Post by: Jonathan Blum on June 13, 2012, 07:58:02 PM Dennis used Blondie and Ricky on some of his solo sessions in 1971-72. ...and afterwards too -- Ricky's on three tracks for Pacific Ocean Blue, isn't he? (Though they probably started life as Beach Boys sessions...) Cheers, Jon Blum Title: Re: Tracks by Blondie and Rikki?
