Peter Gabriel

Album:
So (Remastered 2012)

Track:
Don't Give Up (Alternative Version - Piano and Bvox mix)

PETER GABRIEL - DON’T GIVE UP (ALTERNATIVE VERSION - PIANO & BVOX MIX)

So here’s the last of the three exclusive tracks from the “So” remastered deluxe box set. This time it’s not a new track, but a different version of a song that already exists on the album. I absolutely LOVE this version. The extra background vocals from the goddess Kate Bush add a lot to the song. I’m surprised this version never surfaced before. They could have easily included it as a bonus track on the original 12” single, which had no alternative version other than a shorter edit of the song.

Artist:
Hubert Kah

Album:
It's Me, Cathy (Follow My Heart) [12" Single]

Track:
The Picture (12" Remix)

HUBERT KAH - THE PICTURE (12” REMIX)

Here’s another track from Hubert Kah. This one’s a bit rare. I had never actually heard the song before I found this 12” single. This song only appeared on the soundtrack to the 1985 movie “Once Bitten” and never on a Hubert Kah album. Luckily, they did include the song (plus remixes) as the b-side to “It’s Me Cathy (Follow My Heart).”

Artist:

Album:
So Many People (12" Single)

Track:
So Many People (Remix Single Version)

HUBERT KAH - SO MANY PEOPLE (REMIX SINGLE VERSION)

Hubert Kah is a German synthpop band. Some of their albums were sung in English and some in German. This song, the one that introduced me to the band and made me fall in love with them, is from their record “Sound of My Heart.” This album is their only one to get a US release. (Unless you count the remix collection they put out of songs from this album.) I still look back and wonder why they weren’t more successful. It really is a fantastic collection of songs. I’ll probably post more of their remixes soon. :)

Artist:
Robert Palmer

Album:
Discipline of Love (12" Single)

Track:
Discipline of Love (Eric Thorngren Mix)

ROBERT PALMER - DISCIPLINE OF LOVE (ERIC THORNGREN MIX)

Here’s a song that appeared on Robert Palmer’s 1985 album RIPTIDE. This remixed version of the song is not named on the 12” single, so I just named it after the remixer. Eric Thorngren also worked with Eurythmics back in the 80’s.

Artist:
Dropbears

Album:
Shall We Go (12" Single)

Track:
Shall We Go (Extended)

DROPBEARS - SHALL WE GO (Extended)

Dropbears were an early 80’s Australian band. I’d never heard of them until I found this 12” single in a bargain bin. Apparently they only released a few singles, but never a full album. Funny how fleeting some bands can be…

This is the extended mix of what was supposedly their most popular single. I don’t think it’s very interesting. That may be why they weren’t very successful. LOL!
