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...
