Sorry dude, how can it be unreleased if its on a record? The single reached number 4 on the US billboard and number one on the Billboard adult contemporary chart and as the second single taken from the Invisible Touch Album. Single released in October '86 in the US. June '87 ib UK.

The US 7 inch single had two tracks. The second being an edited version of the instrumental track do the neurotic. UK version had a different track.

Bands often used to release instrumental versions or remixes of songs as the B sides. It may not be your taste, but many find them relaxing or chill out music.

Genesis often did instrumental tracks in their prog rock time. The band loved the song but only played it live a few times. Some even wish it was on the album instead of The Brazilian, which was another instrumental track.

It's very popular among Genesis fans.

Hmmmmmmm I didnt care for it.. maybe ill play it on my better player and see if I like it......

I have always loved THROWING IT ALL AWAY!!

On the jacket Steve for that 2nd song it says "Previously unreleased" and I dont remember ever hearing it....

I would love hearing what the UK put on there., Probably a better song!!

Yes so that was the first time it was actually released. Had only ever been played at some concerts live. They have a number of instrumental tracks.

Picked up a number of Blu Ray 3D films.

Wizard of Oz 3D - the conversion they have done on this classic is simply stunning. The film never looked so good.
The Hobbit trilogy extended editions - again really great and so much depth.
Predator 3D - Arnie classic but aside from a good couple of moments it's the most disappointing 3D I think I've seen.

I hope ya like em all Stevie

In the last couple days I got a few Clint Eastwood movies on VHS.....

1) Sudden Impact - 1983
2) Magnum Force - 1973
3) Dirty Harry - 1971

I got this on its first WCI HOME VIDEO release in 1979 and its goregous!! (Dirty Harry)

I am glad this tape was taken care of through the years.... Alot of VHS dont make it that long (Espeically if it was a rental)

This auction on ebay said "TAPE UNTESTED" but I took a chance and its perfect..... Glorious analogue gold!! (Its got the blue screen at the end with the rating of the movie)

I think this one I have is one of the very first ones released in 1979 of this movie.. (Its got a brown guard and has writing on the guard) (This side faces forward - Do not touch the tape inside))

...and a record

The 4 seasons - Working my back back to you (MONO)

Stephen · 12-10-2024, 23:38

Yesterday I got 2 cassettes and 2 records

1) CASSETTE: Ric Ocasek - Beatitude
2) CASSETTE: Slade - We'll bring the house down
2) RECORD: A 45 - Phil Collins: Do you knos Do ya care?/You cant hurry love
3) RECORD: A 45: Barry Manillow: Ready to take a chance again/Sweet Life

This is a stereo mix of this song (Ready to take a chance again) and it sounds better in MONO. It was on a movie and it was MONO there and its also mono on "Barry Manilow Greatest Hits (Record and 8 track))

The Ric Ocasek cassette is insanely good... Its his first SOLO album (1982 (and he does "New Wave" music and its quite good.... His next abum isnt till 1986 when Benjimen Orr put out the album LACE with the smash song "Stay the night"))

All I can find is the song was recorded in stereo. So it would have been in stereo on the single and the soundtrack releases too. I've not seen anything to indicate it was recorded in anything other than stereo. It was the late 70s most things were stereo by then. Technology had progressed by that point. Nothing sounds better in Mono!

Our ears were designed to hear 360 sound, so stereo will naturally appeal to our ears as we can hear the different sounds and instruments more clearly.
