Title: Artists recording unreleased tunes
Post by: punkinhead on November 02, 2010, 10:00:47 PM
Over the years on tribute albums, we've seen a lot go by, sure, I can't remember any of the band's names, but I do know they covered some really good songs that are (or were at the time) unreleased:

Rainbow Eyes, Stevie (Caroline Now!)
Wouldn't it Be Nice to Live Again and Carry Me Home (Adam M. and his fantastic band)
That Special Feeling (that particular Smiley Member that did a fantastic job on it)
Saturday Morning in the City, Gonna Hustle You, Spirit of Rock and roll (Cameron Michael Parkes)
Do you Have Any Regrets (Darian S.)
Carry Me Home (Primal Scream or something of that nature)
Can't Wait Too Long (A Jazz Portrait of BW)


And I can also think of a particular tribute album that had half rare covers, half originals (trib. to BW and DW), it had the likes of Slip on Through, Still I Dream of It, Surf's Up, Love and Mercy, You're So Good To Me, Little Bird, Be Still, and so on.


Anyone think of any other good ones?

if you just want to include 'rarities' per say those very rare but released to very small media:

Almost Summer, Go Away Boy (Caroline Now)
She Rides With Me, I Do, Sweet Mountain, Number One (Cameron Michael Parkes)
Celebrate the News (Adam M.'s Amazing band)

Um... don't think I'd call a #28 Billboard hit "very rare but released to very small media"...  ;D

Likewise, I'm pretty sure that the jazz cover of "Can't Wait Too Long" came out after the original (1990) 2fers. (edit - indeed: 1997)

"He´s A Bum" - Cherry (1986)



Always wondered how that came about.

Always wondered how that came about.

There was a low-fi tape of that doing the rounds since 1983.

This is the Tones or some fake recording?

That's legit, as in a BB recording, but it's always sounded more like an embryonic "Mona-Kani" to me.
