It Happened In 1977...3 Girl Scouts...Tent #8

2011-06-18T10:21:00.004-04:00

It was the case that shook Oklahoma City in 1977.

3 girls, aged 8, 9 and 10, were brutally beaten and murdered during the early morning hours at Camp Scott in Locust Grove.

After the beating all 3 girls were raped and their bodies were placed in their sleeping bags and arranged on 2 different trails so that they would definitely be discovered.

The only suspect in the case was one Gene Leroy Hart, a Native American who had escaped from jail almost 10 years earlier. When he was found, he had been staying in a rundown cabin in the woods, not far from Camp Scott. After the incident, the Magic Council for Girl Scouts closed the gates on Camp Scott and never reopened it. It had been in use for over 50 years.

Here, I present to you, is the documentary that is so hard to find. It is a very interesting story and fills in a lot of holes. Download it and watch it! Don't buy cheap bootlegs online!!!

One Girl. Two Guys. Three Possibilites.

This is one of my favorite movies from the '90s. Stephen Baldwin, Lara Flynn Boyle and Josh Charles starred in Threesome, a movie about 2 college guys sharing a dorm room and having a third roommate sent in later, who happens to be a girl named Alex.

Because her name is Alex, the college assumed she was a male and put her in the boys dorms.

At first, she has a problem with it but after a while all three become close friends and start to appreciate each other in ways they never imagined. If you've never seen it, you should seriously consider checking it out.

This movie so defines the '90s. From the hairstyles to the clothes, and of course, THE MUSIC, this movie is a permanent staple in '90s history!

I am presenting here the soundtrack for the movie which has a lot of great songs on it!

I am also presenting it in my first ever FLAC format so that the quality is lossless. That is what I will be doing from now on.

I am posting my own version of the 25th Anniversary Edition of The Goonies soundtrack for the simple fact that while Varèse Sarabande did an amazing job releasing the entire score for the film, they didn't include any of the lyrical music from the film and it was a disappointment, to say the least.

This release would have been much better with a 2-disc release instead of just the score being released all by its lonesome.

So, that is why I took it upon myself to rectify this release with a special 2-disc edition that is EXCLUSIVE to the Pop Tate's Vinyl shop! I remastered the entire soundtrack myself and everything sounds WONDERFUL and is a joy to listen to. I hope you enjoy this as it took a long time for me to complete and please comment if you love it as much as I do! Thanks!

A Heavenly...EXCLUSIVE

2010-07-16T14:36:00.005-04:00

For a while now, I have been satisfied with my previous LP rip of The Heavenly Kid soundtrack...it sounded great and was the best available online, ANYWHERE...(pats self on the back)...but I was not happy about some of the imperfections in the songs that the LP left behind and I could not get rid of...so, I managed to find the soundtrack on its cassette release (never opened no less) and make a new version.

I know that I said I would never post this soundtrack again due to people selling it online for profit but this is the ULTIMATE version on ANY blog, website or auction site.

Transferred from a Pioneer CT-W205R [SR] in 48000 sample WAVE and then de-hissed and CD mastered at 44100.

Tracklisting for this post includes:
01 - Joe Lynn Turner - Heartless
02 - Jon Fiore - The Heavenly Kid (Out On the Edge)
03 - Jamie Bond - Heart of Love
04 - Howard Hewett - Obsession
05 - Debra Laws - Crusin' Tonight

Stay Tuned For This...

2010-07-14T17:23:00.005-04:00

This was requested, but I am pretty sure I have posted it before on my former blog for Dusted Soundtracks.

Regardless, this is the soundtrack the John Ritter/Pam Dawber comedy movie Stay Tuned!

It's a bizarre soundtrack that features songs that were in the movie but also has several crappy songs that were NOT in the movie. And to top it off, this soundtrack is classified as R&B which did not even fit the tone of the movie AT ALL. The movie was about John and Pam getting sucked into TV and having to fight their way back out by going through channel after channel. The funniest part of the movie is where John ends up on Three's Company again and Chrissy and Janet walk in and ask him "Where have you been?" and he screams a blood-curdling scream and changes the channel quickly! LOL

Anyway, here is the soundtrack. Enjoy!

Tracklisting for this post:
01 - Salt N' Pepa - Start Me Up
02 - Black Sheep - The Choice Is Yours
03 - Auto & Cherokee - Taste
04 - X Clan - Xodus
05 - Black Sheep - Strobelite Honey
06 - Ultra Magnetic M.C.'s - Message From the Boss
07 - Dr. Ice - The Mic Stalker
08 - Kool Moe Dee - Bad, Bad, Bad
09 - Bruce Broughton - Darryl's Dad
10 - Bruce Broughton - Stay Tuned (Main Theme)

Hard to Get? Not Really...

2010-07-14T16:07:00.005-04:00

Here is a band that we know little about. They called themselves Starclub and, to the best of my knowledge, this was their only album. Go figure.

Now, you probably will recognize the first track right off the bat because the song was popularized by the movie The Crush in it's opening scene. The song is called Hard to Get and was the ONLY top 20 single the band ever saw in the USA.

Starclub originated from the UK and that's probably why there is little known about them in the US, but none the less, this album was their legacy to music and I present it to you here in a HQ rip along with HQ scans of the CD artwork.

Tracklisting for this post:
01 - Hard to Get
02 - Let Your Hair Down
03 - Call My Name
04 - Forever
05 - All Falls Down
06 - World Keeps Turning
07 - Bad Machine
08 - We Believe
09 - The Question
10 - The Answer
11 - Pretty Thing

Hang 2GE+HER....

2010-07-13T16:04:00.008-04:00

In early of 2000, MTV aired a spoof movie that they had made to, basically, make fun of all the boybands out there.

They created a fictitious band named 2GETHER, but replaced the T with a + sign to give themselves "an edge". LOL

The movie was very funny and the music was surprisingly decent. As a matter of fact, the band was so successful that they toured with Britney Spears and even had a sophomore album named "Again" that had a top 20 hit, The Hardest Part of Breaking Up (Is Getting Back Your Stuff). No one could have been more surprised than MTV at what they had created and tried to capitalize on the band by giving them their short-lived TV series on MTV.

As usual, their success was short lived and so was youngest member Michael Cuccione, known as "Q.T." who had passed away of Hodgkin's Lymphoma on January 13, 2001 at the age of 16. He spent his last Christmas, New Years and birthday in the hospital. May he rest in peace.

Anyway, I am posting both of the bands albums here in the same file for you to download. Complete with new scans of the artwork and a brand new rip of the CDs, all created by me. I hope you enjoy this one as the first CD is now out of print and can be difficult to find online.

Thinking Deadly Thoughts...

2010-03-04T18:12:00.006-05:00

Hi everyone! I have been gone for nearly a year, and I am sorry for my absence. But I have returned, maybe briefly, for now.

I understand that Vinnie has posted the soundtrack before, but it was still missing a few songs, a few songs that I have managed to find to create a longer and more complete soundtrack.

I am not including the songs from the soundtrack CD that did not appear in the movie, that's a waste of time. Who wants to listen to music at random that doesn't even strike a memory of the movie? Seriously. But I am including everything that I managed to find from the REAL soundtrack.

Tracklisting for this post are as follows:
01 - Danny B. Harvey - Main Title
02 - LCD - Mad Love [Vocal Remix - Radio Edit]
03 - Billie Holiday - God Bless the Child
04 - Mono Puff - Back Stabbing Liar
05 - Transmutator - Take Over
06 - The Hippos - Far Behind
07 - 13 Cats - 13 Cats
08 - 5 X Down - Looking Down the Barrell
09 - Billie Holiday - Comes Love
10 - Trailer Park Pam - Sleep
11 - RA - Crazy Little Voices
12 - 13 Cats - Teddy Boy Kung-Fu Weapon
13 - Transmutator - My Wonderful Friend
14 - Razed In Black - What's Fair

Baby You Can Taste Me Too...

2009-07-19T17:00:00.008-04:00

In the early to mid-'90s, practically all Morgan Creek movies featured a song from their own record label. Auto & Cherokee, Chris Kowanko, Miracle Legion and several others....

This is the first and only album by Morgan Creek artists, Auto & Cherokee, Naked Music.

Their single for 'Taste' is featured in at least 2 Morgan Creek movies, The Crush and Stay Tuned. The song is very sexually charged and is, in all respects, about oral sex. Even though the single was somewhat popular, Auto & Cherokee failed to establish a staying career in music and dropped out of sight in 1994 leaving behind Naked Music as their only album in the world.

This album is long out of print and next to impossible to find online anywhere to download, which is why I am bringing it online here. It's a good album and deserves more recognition than it received. I hope you appreciate it like I did. Enjoy the 'Naked' music! :)

Track listing:
01 - Introduction to Our World
02 - Naked Music
03 - Taste
04 - Indian Summer
05 - So Good to Be In Love
06 - Best of Friends
07 - Interlude/Breed of the Apple Children
08 - She Eats Like a Lion
09 - Hack Your Bed
10 - Hook You Up
11 - Forever Yours
12 - Homeless
13 - Taste (Street Single Mix)
14 - Taste (Stay Tuned Soundtrack Version)

Super-Duper Alisha MegaPost!

2009-05-13T20:18:00.024-04:00

If you are a fan of '80s pop music, you're gonna love Alisha! She started off in the early '80s with her first album just titled Alisha, which had several dance hits and club tunes for her. Her second album, Nightwalkin', was an even bigger success for Alisha as it featured a track that was featured in the major motion picture Mannequin. The song is Do You Dream About Me and is a favorite among Alisha and Mannequin fans.

Next, I've included the CD single for I Don't Know What Comes Over Me, which has a few remixes and club versions of the title
track.

Alisha's third album, Bounce Back, was released in 1990 on the MCA records label and featured only one hit single, Wrong Number. After this, Alisha seemed to have disappeared and reappeared briefly in the late '90s for the Superstar soundtrack in which she did the title track for the movie.

Included here are the following CD rips:

Alisha

Nightwalkin'

I Don't Know What Comes Over Me (Maxi Single)

Bounce Back

Into My Secret (12" Remix)

It's Been A While.....

2009-05-05T19:03:00.006-04:00

Since it's been a while since I've posted anything, I thought I would put this up just to keep my Shop open instead of just letting it sit here with vacant posts.

I am giving you Tim Feehan's self-titled CD from 1987. Tim is widely known for his hit single "Where's the Fire" from the movie 'The Wraith'. The single was featured on the soundtrack to the movie, however it was an edited single version of the song. This album contains the complete version of the song, almost running at a total of 5 minutes.

This album was released in 1987 by the nastiest record label in the world, Scotti Bros. I call them that because they had to be the most inept record label for pleasing their fans in the USA because even though they were based in the USA they only released 2% of their catalog on CD in the USA and the other 98% went to Germany and Japan. Also, most of all of their PRESSED compact discs have suffered disc rot because they used sub-standard CDs to record the music onto back in the day. No wonder they went defunct and were sold off in 1996.

Tracklisting for this CD:

01 - Where's the Fire
02 - Listen For the Heartbeat
03 - Vanna
04 - Loveline
05 - Read Between the Lines
06 - Mean Streak
07 - The Painter
08 - One Step Away
09 - Isolation

Mall Madness....Tiffany!!!!

2009-01-09T21:51:00.005-05:00

As a child of the '80s I was subjected to all walks of '80s pop music. In the late '80s I was introduced to Debbie Gibson and Tiffany, which appeared to be two teen rivals doing the same thing.

I loved both of them dearly, but Tiffany was a choice pick for me because her tracks Could've Been, I Think We're Alone Now and All This Time are just a few of my personal favs by Tiff.

Years ago, and I do mean when Napster was still illegal and AudioGalaxy still existed, I found a whole bunch of Tiffany songs and compiled them onto one CD. Well, a few days ago while cleaning out some stuff, I found the CD. It's a 74-minute CD-R, if that tells you how old it is. LOL The date on the files reads March 2nd, 2002. So, it's old.

Anyway, I am putting up all the songs that I managed to find and a special track from me, I Think We're Alone Now [Video Mix], because I love the video mix more than the album version and it was never released anywhere except for on the 12" dance single of the song. But this is the actual video mix, and I ripped it from a DVD of the music video and remastered it. :)

I hope you enjoy this, and please keep in mind that I found these files years ago and some of them do not sound too hot and some are only 128kbps, which is not up to my standard now, but what can you do? Enjoy this one!!!

A Special Post For Vinnie....and the Vampire Fans Out There!

2008-11-18T13:06:00.007-05:00

For the longest time now, I have been trying to find my VHS copy of a music video from 1985 and have had no luck at all. It was only recently that I found out that the video I was looking for was one of the most elusive music videos ever made for a movie soundtrack, at least in my opinion!

The video I am talking about is 'Fright Night' performed by the J. Geils Band. I finally found the music video again on DVD, thanks to the good people at Promo Only. I've uploaded it here so that you can either see the video for the first time or finally get to re-live it!

I hope you enjoy this classic as much as I enjoy bringing it to you.

Why Are You Doing This to Us?

2008-10-25T00:28:00.010-04:00

This HAS to be one of the most scariest movies I have EVER seen!

You can say whatever you want about it but after watching this movie my nerves were completely shot! I can't believe that this movie got to me the way it did. I never let movies do this to me but this one, and Hard Candy, is the most nerve-wrecking, nail-biting and edge-of-your-seat movie I've came across.

In case you haven't seen it, you can watch the trailer below that I uploaded for your convenience. It's now out on DVD and you should really check it out because, for once, the trailer lives up to the movie.

Here, I am bringing you the score/soundtrack to the movie. The intense music added to the already creepy atmosphere and it's a great listen. I've also included the three lyrical songs heard through-out the film. I hope you enjoy this because it took a long time to get my hands on it, even though it is widely available but does not come with the extra tracks. Enjoy!!!

Tracks include:
01 - Opening
02 - The House
03 - Empty
04 - Wedding
05 - Apology
06 - James and Kristen
07 - 3AM Knock
08 - Alone
09 - James Returns
10 - Run to Car
11 - Waiting
12 - Angry
13 - Mike
14 - Cold
15 - The Barn
16 - Run
17 - Scrape
18 - Mercy
19 - Over
20 - Joanna Newsom - Sprout and the Bean
21 - Merle Haggard - Mama Tried
22 - Gillian Welch - My First Lover

Right On Track

This band calls themselves Breakfast Club, not be confused with the movie of the same name! My reasons for posting this are far and few between except for the fact that I friggin' LOVE this album and wanna share it!

It is hard nowadays to find any type of music that is just FUN to listen to and also fun to sing along with but when I found the Breakfast Club's CD, I thoroughly enjoyed it! It's such campy '80s pop that you can't help but love it!

With songs like Expressway to Your Heart and Right On Track, this album deserves to be in the '80s hall of fame for fun, dance and great pop music from the era! Download this and let me know what you think! I am sure you might enjoy it as much as I did if you are a fan of the '80s like me! Oh yeah, Madonna used to be a member of this band as well as American Idol judge Randy Jackson. Fortunately neither had a hand in this 1987 album to ruin it. :)

Tracks include:
01 - Never Be the Same
02 - Right On Track
03 - Kiss and Tell
04 - Always Be Like This
05 - Rico Mambo
06 - Expressway to Your Heart
07 - Speciality
08 - Standout
09 - Tongue Tied

There's A Stranger In My House.....

For the LONGEST time I have been searching for this Ronnie Milsap album titled Keyed Up from 1983. I didn't want some nasty LP rip or a cassette rip because it got a CD release back in the '80s when RCA famously released a majority of their '80s catalog to CD but quickly removed them from circulation due to the high price of CD players at the time.

Anyway, I FINALLY got the album and of course I am not going to keep it to myself because I don't play like that. If I find something rare, I share it, especially if it's not available online to buy or download and believe me, right now the only copy of this CD I've seen is on Amazon, used for $150.00 and I ain't even paying that shit. I love this album but I'm sorry, it's not worth that to me.

I hope you enjoy this as much as I do and not just because it's rare and hard to find but because the songs are some of Ronnie's best and most underrated.

PS - I also remastered the album. Extra loudness, bass, etc. ;) Enjoy!

Tracks include:

01 - Stranger In My House

02 - Watch Out For the Other Guy

03 - Don't You Know How Much I Love You

04 - Show Her

05 - Don't Your Mem'ry Ever Sleep At Night

06 - I'm Just A Redneck At Heart

07 - Feelings Change

08 - Like Children I Have Known

09 - Is It Over

10 - We're Here to Love

Find Your Stranger Here

For Truth. For Justice. For Five Bucks A Day.

He's widely hated. He's widely panned and most people wish him off the face of the planet but one thing is undeniable, Pauly Shore is like a train wreck, sometimes you can't help but look.

And in 1995 I found myself in this position with the movie Jury Duty. My sister was dating an AM radio station DJ who got into the local movie theater for free and I thought what the hell. I got a pass from him to go see Jury Duty with them with my bestest friend, still to this day, Lori.

I'm sorry folks, I found myself lauging my ass off at this ridiculous movie. Tia Carrere was so funny as the beauty that Pauly had his heart set on and in one particular scene of the movie Pauly is falling asleep in the jury box and the prosecuting attorney is making her closing statement and he invisions his fellow jurors in far-fetched scenerios giving the closing statement in the attorney's voice and when it gets to Tia he invisions her on a beach with a keg of Hawaiian Tropic lotion, squeezing mounds of it in her hand and when the attorney says the word "puh-leeze", the way Tia does it just nearly put me on the floor of the theater. I can't explain it. I just found this movie to be too funny and I loved it. Damn shame Columbia only saw fit to release a full-screen DVD of it. Looks shitty on a 50' plasma TV.

Anyway, the music was another memorable part of the movie but yet it did not have a soundtrack issued for it and so I did the best I could with tracking down most of the songs from it. I know it's been a while since I posted and for some reason my good friend Vinnie won't write me back and it's starting to piss me off so if you're reading this Mr. Rattolle, you really need to mind your manners and write your friends!!!! LOL

Tracks Include:

Extreme - Play With Me

Pizzicato Five - Sweet Soul Revue

David Lindley - Mercury Blues

Blackfish - Check It Out

Barry De Vorzon - Theme From S.W.A.T.

Odds - Heterosexual Man

See..all you have to do is ask and I make your request a reality!

This was requested by an anonymous reader of my blog. The original soundtrack to the 1984 movie 'Teachers'.
Having never seen the movie, I can't tell you anything about it except it does have a who's who of '80s stars in it. Richard Mulligan, Ralph Macchio, Nick Nolte, JoBeth Williams, Judd Hirsch...etc.

Apparantly, and this is not a HUGE leap, but the movie is about teachers. LOL

The soundtrack, taken from the CD release, is mostly AOR music and not half bad, which is why I have both the LP and the CD. Enjoy!

Tracklisting:
01 - 38 Special - Teacher Teacher
02 - Roman Holliday - One Foot Back In Your Door
03 - Joe Cocker - Edge of a Dream (Theme From 'Teachers)
04 - Night Ranger - Interstate Love Affair
05 - Freddie Mercury - Foolin' Around
06 - ZZ Top - Cheap Sunglasses
07 - Bob Segar & the Silver Bullet Band - Understanding
08 - Eric Martin - I Can't Stop the Fire

Hi everyone out there! Have I got a special treat for you!

I have here, an absolute, 100% compact disc rip of Vitamin Z's obscure CD album of Rites of Passage!

Couldn't you just lose it?!?!

This album has to be in the top 20 of the rarest albums on compact disc!

I am not 100% familiar with this band to tell the truth but I have really taken a shine to this particular album! Mainly my efforts to get my hands on it were just because of it's value but now, after listening to it, I quite enjoy it.

This is the ORIGINAL Mercury CD release which only features 8 tracks as the album was released in the first place, however there are a lot of bootlegs out there with bonus tracks b-side tracks etc BUT they are all inferior in sound because they are poor LP transfers. NOTHING that I've found online can compare to this! I hope you enjoy it!!!

Tracklisting:
01 - Hi Hi Friend
02 - Casablanca
03 - Circus Ring (We Scream About)
04 - Something We Can Do
05 - Burning Flame
06 - Angela
07 - Every Time That I See You
08 - Anybody Out There?

You might know this band...

Lion is the name and I'm not sure if you'd label them AOR or Alternative or Metal or what but that is up to you.

All I know is that they've appeared on both The Wraith and Transformers: The Movie soundtracks and that's good enough for me.

This album, apparantly, is highly sought after by fans of the music because it was so limited in compact disc form. Well, I don't know how much of that is true as I've hardly taken the time to research any facts about this album but I did download it a long time ago when we still had AudioGalaxy, man I miss that site!

None the less, here is Trouble In Angel City, direct from the original compact disc release. Enjoy!

Tracklisting:
01 - Come On
02 - Lock Up Your Daughters
03 - Can't Stop the Rain
04 - Love Is A Lie
05 - Victims of Circumstance
06 - Stranger In the City
07 - Hungry For Love
08 - Hold On
09 - Lonely Girl
10 - Forgotten Sons

Empire Records is absolutely one of my all-time favorite movies! It came out when me and my friend Lori were listening to all that kind of music and grunge was starting to take over MTV....Remember when MTV actually played videos?

Anyway, the soundtrack for the movie REALLY fuckin' cheated the fans out of the music from the film! The soundtrack consisted of like 14 songs from the movie when there was well over 40+ songs featured in the movie! WTF?

Anyway, I've been working on this one for at least since early March and even though I couldn't get my hands on EVERY song, I did manage to get 98% of them from excellent quality sources. I hope you enjoy this as much I do!

If you're a fan of scary things, you're gonna love this post!

In the early, mid and late '80s, Alvin Schwartz released a trilogy of his re-tellings of classic scary stories and urban legends.

The books came under fire almost immediately from outraged parents who could not believe that these books were targeted at elementary school-aged children. All three books, Scary Stories to Tell In the Dark, More Scary Stories to Tell In the Dark and Scary Stories 3: More Tales to Chill Your Bones have been renewed repeatedly on the list of books that should be banned from libraries and accessible by children.

None the less, I LOVE these books, I own these books and would not give them up for anything else! However, here I offer you all, the audiobook collection put out by Harper-Collins a few years back. This is titled Scary Stories: The Complete 3-Book Audio Collection and is narrated by George S. Irving.

With such classics as The Big Toe, High Beams, The Hook, The Babysitter and The Church, these stories, along with Mr. Irving's creepy vocals, will have you twisting in the wind! LOL

There are far too many titles to list here but this is the complete collection and if you search online, I am sure you can find the tracklisting for all 3 discs. Enjoy!!!

My Favorite Things...

2008-05-31T15:07:00.006-04:00

In 1993, country music singer Lorrie Morgan released her first Christmas album to rave reviews!

However, she also came under fire from PETA for wearing fur on the cover...tsk...tsk Lorrie....you should know better!

Anyway, she titled the album Merry Christmas From London and featured The New World Philharmonic on the album. And I have to tell you, this is my all-time favorite Christmas album. And I know that Christmas is still 6 months away, but I don't care. I finally got my hands on this CD again (I had purchased it when it came out but got rid of it for personal reasons) and I want to share it with my fans.

Trust me people, this album is so freakin' elaborate it's incredible to listen to. It's such a powerful season setter and I don't know what I'd do without having it during the holidays. Before all I had was an inferior copy because it's not available on Napster, Rhapsody or iTunes. I had to make do with what I had and trust me, it sucked ass. Whoever encoded it did a shitty job. But, this is a new rip that I've done from the original disc at 192kbps.

Listen to it, even if you hate Lorrie Morgan, you will be surprised. Don't forget she also had a huge hit in Dec. of 1993 with her version of My Favorite Things....that's also on this album!

Tracklisting:
01 - My Favorite Things
02 - A Christmas Festival (Medley)
03 - Little Snow Girl
04 - Up On Santa Claus Mountain
05 - O Holy Night

You're probably wondering where I've been the past few weeks with no posts, well I've been working on this little gem especially for you.

Dawn of the Dead is absolutely, bar-none, my all-time favorite horror movie. I am totally obsessed with this movie and can't watch it enough times. I am in the process of purchasing the Ultimate Edition 4-disc set so that I can see all 3 cuts of the movie in a row.

Now, here, I bring you MY most complete collection of the soundtrack. This can't be found on any other blog for one simple reason. I took it upon myself to remaster all the songs. Amplification, treble increase, bass increase, hiss reduction...etc.

This is the ultimate 2-disc edition of this soundtrack/score with practically everything you've heard in the movie. And once I get motivated about something, I don't go half-assed, I go all the way.

I hope you enjoy this labor of love that I've created for everyone to enjoy and I also hope you enjoy the new crystal-clear sound that I've introduced to this classic!

We Don't Have to Take Our Clothes Off....

In 1984, Jermaine Stewart came onto the scene of the music business. His first album, The Word Is Out, was a big hit for him and Arista Records and he was signed to a 4 album contract.

After releasing The Word Is Out, Jermaine came back in 1986 with his sophomore effort entitled Frantic Romantic. The landmark album put Jermaine on the map with his #1 hit single We Don't Have to (Take Our Clothes Off)! Everyone all over the world that was alive in 1986 heard this song and like it or hate it, you know damn well you still sing along to it even today! :)

None the less, even though all of Jermaine's albums got the compact disc treatment, few copies were pressed and made his albums elusive on CD. This here, however, is a genuine rip of the American pressed CD. You have no idea how hard it was to get this album from a CD but I was happy when I finally had it and happy I can spread it on. It sells over and above $80 on eBay to this day. I hope you enjoy it!

Take Your Clothes Off

Well Your Nobody Called Today....

2008-03-22T17:50:00.003-04:00
Sylvia's musical journey began at age three when she was asked to sing at a small church near her hometown of Kokomo, Indiana. This set Sylvia on a course that eventually led her to Nashville soon after high school graduation on December 26, 1976. With a burning desire to become a recording artist like her idols Patsy Cline and Dolly Parton, Sylvia packed her bags and a demo tape and headed for Music City, where she ultimately landed a job as a secretary for producer/publisher Tom Collins, who produced records for such luminaries as Barbara Mandrell and Ronnie Milsap.

After trying out for Dave and Sugar, Sylvia was later signed by RCA Records in 1979. Her first RCA single was called "You Don't Miss a Thing". The song reached the Country Top 40, which got her name noticed. in 1980 she released another single called "It Don't Hurt to Dream". The record was slightly more successful then the previous title, going to #35. That same year, she finally made it to the Top 10 with "Tumbleweed". The next year, Sylvia became an even bigger star, when her song "Drifter" hit #1 hit on the country charts. That year, two other singles became top-ten hits for her, "The Matador" and "Heart on the Mend". "The Matador" was country music's first concept music video to go on CMT. "Drifter" was her first No. 1 single and the title of her 1981 RCA debut album. The album contained several top-ten songs, including "Tumbleweed" and "Heart On The Mend".

In 1982, from her "Just Sylvia" album, the singer released the single "Nobody", which reached No. 1 on the country music charts, hit #15 on Billboard's Hot 100, and sold more than a million copies. The song was also an Adult Contemporary hit, making the Top 5. "Nobody" became Sylvia's signature song and made her a success on both the Country and Pop music charts, which was what so many of her contemporaries were doing at the time, like Juice Newton, Dolly Parton, Anne Murray, Ronnie Milsap and Kenny Rogers.

"Nobody" and the album Just Sylvia were certified gold in the United States and Canada. "Nobody" was the 1982 BMI Song of the Year, awarded for receiving more radio airplay than any other single that year. In a way, Sylvia's bouncy and youthful style made her very popular among teenage girls, making her a teen idol briefly, which foreshadowed the female pop teen idols of the late '80s, like Debbie Gibson and Tiffany. In 1982, Sylvia was the Academy of Country Music's "Female Vocalist of the Year" and a Grammy nominee for "Best Female Vocalist".

Here, I present to you, is Sylvia's 1982 album Just Sylvia. This compact disc version is EXTREMELY hard to find today as it was only pressed in Japan and imported into the USA in the early '80s, like all of Sylvia's albums. This album is a very strong and heartfelt effort for Sylvia and you can tell from the lyrics of the songs. As you may or may not know, compact discs manufactured in the early '80s suffered from low decibel volume and sometimes muffled sound due to the mastering tapes. I've taken this CD and remastered it using Adobe Audtion 3. I made the sound crisp, loud and more clear! I hope you enjoy it!
