    Today, in the mail came:

     

    Y & T - Contagious. Totally awesome CD!!! :banger::headbanger:

     

     

    Went to a used CD store in Burnaby and bought:

     

    Shania Twain - The First Album. This is the ORIGINAL demo recordings that were recorded in the guitar player's apartment in Toronto. The versions on the Beginnings 1989 - 1990 CD are slightly different.

    Just finished listening to some of Vancouver's finest bands right now before I watch the hockey game between my Vancouver Canucks and the Calgary Flames:

     

    GO CANUCKS GO!!!

    All Those Wasted Years: Live At The Marquee - Hanoi Rocks. I was psyched to pick this up because I had no Hanoi Rocks and then SHK showed me a Classic Rock magazine that tapped this disc as the 20th greatest live disc of ALL TIME!

     

    Wow, a great disc (not only in my opinion), for only $3.98! How often do you luck into a deal like that. (Not too often, in my case.)

    Glad you enjoyed it, hsf!

    ... See if you can track down "Lost Tracks".  I ordered it in Seattle.  ...

     

    But my friends, especially my college classmates, laughed at me.   :angry:  That's how limited their taste in music is.  They only listened to whatever was on the radio which I no longer listen to.  Newfoundland is no place to introduce different music, unless it's on the radio.  My God, they actually went along with what was being played on the radio in the 1990's!  They listened to grunge. :lol:  :crazy:  :(

    Spring Session has two bonus tracks: "Hello, I Love You" and "Mental Hopscotch". As for the friend factor. Just shows what they know! ;) Grunge wasn't about musical expertise anyway. Which is something you can expect from ex-Zappa musicians! And trust me Holland isn't a picknick either when it comes to new music.

    I have those two songs on "The Best of Missing Persons".

    I LOVE that song.  Have you ever seen the video?  I still think it is cool.  I have it on LaserDisc.  It's too bad Missing Persons never got their due.  I'm glad I have all their CDs, except the first one "Spring Session M".  They were my favorite New Wave Band.

     

    They released a "Lost Tracks" CD that's worth owning.  My favorite CDs by Missing Persons were:

     

    Color In Your Life

    Rhyme and Reason

    Yay, Missing Persons.

     

    That's one band that people in Europe have hardly heard of. How many albums did they make? I've got three of 'em:

    • Spring Session M
       
    • Color In Your Life
       
    • Rhyme And Reason

    LaserDisc :angry: Grrrr. I've never even seen a video of Dale and her boys, let alone a LD.

    The 8" LaserDisc has four videos - "Destination Unknown", "Give", "Right Now", and the title, "Surrender Your Heart".

     

    I ordered Spring Session M through Borders Books and Music in Seattle but they couldn't get it. They could re-order it for me and I will try again in May. I still have it on vinyl. I last saw it at Tower Records but never bothered to buy it. The other two CDs "Color In Your Life" and "Rhyme and Reason" each have 6 bonus songs. There are two that were never released + 4 live tracks. And I must say that Missing Persons were great live! There was not one song by them I never liked. They made a brief tour in 2001.

     

    Their videos are "ok". I want to see "Words" and "I Can't Think About Dancin'".

    I hear Dale Bozzio still shows more class than Britney, Christina Aguilara, Madonna, and Gwen Stefani. But, I still like Gwen Stefani.

     

    They only had three albums. See if you can track down "Lost Tracks". I ordered it in Seattle. You might get it on Amazon.com. I'll look into it for you. I paid $9.00US for mine.

     

    I only discovered them in 1991 at a used record store when I lived in St. John's, Newfoundland. But my friends, especially my college classmates, laughed at me. :angry: That's how limited their taste in music is. They only listened to whatever was on the radio which I no longer listen to. Newfoundland is no place to introduce different music, unless it's on the radio. My God, they actually went along with what was being played on the radio in the 1990's! They listened to grunge. :lol::crazy::(

    Teri Tims - Made in USA. Sounds like early Shania Twain, from 1989-1990, meets Faith Hill. AND, man, can this girl SING!!!

     

    According to www.shaniaup.com, the best way to describe her voice is "Teri’s amazingly powerful, yet sultry voice will make a married man wish he was single, and make a teenage boy wish he was a man." :o

     

    Who says women singers can't rock? ;)
