Ok, ha ha  Cheesy "She Believes In Love Again" And BB - 85 = Guilty Pleasures of mine!

But I agree with some other fans; I would prefer a remake of this song:

Don't Run Away:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NtDGXpfIoz8

I wonder how well known this song is among the fans?

Yes, there it is! Thank you very much! Smiley I'm impressed.

Ok... but it sounds pretty similar to the original version (which I do not have any problem with in the first place.)
One of the top 5 best tracks on BB 85. Strong vocals from both Carl & Bruce
I wonder if there is a lack of confidence in his own songwriting now a days?
There must be better choices than to re-record a track from 85?!

In case you HAVE to re-record;
Why not "Don't Run Away (a Bruce & Terry track from 1964-65)"?  Wink
I Love that song.

What ever happened to "Going Private"?
I think there must be a bunch of unreleased gems from those sessions.
I found this interview from 1990:

The Dance club version:  She believes in Pipelines again!? Afro
In fact I heard a short sample of the new stripped version in a radio interview a few weeks ago. But I can't remember which station...

1. I Wonder if the re-recording of "She Believes In Love Again (from BB 1985) was the only Johnston track considered for TWGMTR?

2. Why in the first place re-record it?
(Does Bruce think that the song deserves a second chance?) 

3. No other unreleased Johnston-songs in the vaults?

Hello, everyone!
I'm a new member from Sweden. Great album! I bought it yesterday.
Been a fan since 1989 (yes... my very first CD was Still Crusin'). Saw them for the first time in Gotheburg july 1991.
I agree with many other fans, their best record since LA album - 8/10.
Best tracks: Strange World, From There To Back Again (Al for President!?) I honestly can't find a really bad track on this album.
The track I listen to the least is "Shelter". Probably because that's the track where I really miss Carl the most, (at the chorus) Undecided

The official reviews of the album in Sweden is a solid 6 out of 10, the critics seems to be pleasantly surprised.

But why no lead vocals from Bruce? Is the re-recording of "She Believes In Love Again (from BB 1985) the only Johnston track considered for this album?
