"Nightflight" Tue Nov27, 9P-12M ET: Alternate and Demo Versions!!!

[midnight johnny]

Howdy, All! Now that the first of the holidays is slipping out of our grasp....join me tonight for 3 hours of
Alternate and Demo versions of songs that you most likely know...maybe a few that you don't.
The genre of music covers the gammit...from Motown to great American Songbook...psychedelic to classical...
and everything in between and on the edges.

FYI....on Thanksgiving day I hosted "Sounds of America" on WOMR. On this coming Friday, Nov 30, from 5P-7P,
I will be hosting Lady Di's "Legs Up....and Dancing"...an great WOMR oldies show! But keep in mind....if you are
looking to see MY legs up....it's RADIO....you'll never know!
And next week...the irrepressible...and remarkable informative VP of A&R at UMe...and our dear friend in Motown...Harry Weinger will be joining me for the premiere broadcast release of the new "Mary Wells "Something New...the Lost and Found Collection"...and to talk about the cd set!

So do join me for all this and more...tonight...on "Nightflight"...on WOMR 92.1 Fm Provincetown amd WFMR 91.3 FM Orleans and we are streaming live worldwide at www.womr.org [[http://www.womr.org/)
Thanks!
John

Perhaps Disco-Tex [[Monti Rock III) and the Sex-O-Lettes said it best: "My chiffon is wet, dahling."

And that can only mean one thing: If it's Tuesday, it ain't Belgium--It's NIGHTFLIGHT. Friday or no Friday, it's Tuesday and my legs are up! Or they're gonna be. The lotus position will just have to wait. NIGHTFLIGHT is about to board. But I'm never bored listening to NIGHTFLIGHT. It's the show of shows. It's the host of hosts. It's the legs of legs. And tonight, it's the demos and alternate takes of, well, demos and alternate takes. [[Do you mean like Democrats and Republicans? Whadda I know.)

[Glenpwood]

Hi John!

You are quickly becoming WOMR's guy Friday when they need a fill in host. You always have a leg up on the competition so I can see why they thought you were the perfect host. Of course, If I could get my legs up like this I'm not sure I'd ever close them......

http://forums.techguy.org/attachments/189436d1300730419/rockettes1.jpgSee everyone tonight!

[Methuselah2]

Glen, you're a hoot and a holler. Very, very funny!

Hey Tone, Joe, Glen, Steve, Carole and Bruce!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Glenpwood]

John, Love this demo version of Is That All There Is..... Where on earth did you find it?

[midnight johnny]

John, Love this demo version of Is That All There Is..... Where on earth did you find it?


....oh...on Earth [[*grin). No....Glen...just years and years of searching high and low...can't even remember where I got it.

[sophisticated_soul]

It's definitely an alternate version John. Done slower than the released version. But I don't think I have it! Actually it sounds to me like it was record years after the original.

[Methuselah2]

"LEGS! IN THE NAME OF LOVE"

Great pic Bruce, she looks like she's about 12.

[carole cucumber]

I know why......The Supremes 2000 box set lists this as a 'Previously Unreleased Demo Version'

Brown Eyed Girl. I had to look at my phone as it is the ringtone for a friend of mine.

hahahah.....

[sophisticated_soul]

This must be what is titled "You're Loss, My Gain" on the new set.

[lovechild]

Did you say the Sweetest Boy is on the new release?

[lovechild]

[QUOTE=sophisticated_soul;133048]This must be what is title "You're Loss, My Gain" on the new set.[/QUOTE
oh yeah good eye Joseph...

[MotownSteve]

When Carole King wrote Pleasant Valley Sunday she was living near Pleasant Valley Road and Mount Pleasant Avenue

She sings the lyric "your loss, my gain" in this alternate version.

[sophisticated_soul]

Technically it would probably be called a remake, but this version of "Both Sides Now" is beautiful and better than her original. Better than Judy Collin's hit version - and I love me some Judy Collins!:cool:

[Methuselah2]

The Joni Mitchell selection is interesting.
But what's she doing doing Julie London
by way of Mary Wilson?

[midnight johnny]

It's so pretty.....

[Methuselah2]

Oh Miss Kim!
Soundin' so great.
Thanks for playin' it, John.

[JimBagley]

Great songs John

[sophisticated_soul]

Great songs John

I was wondering where you were?!:)

[Methuselah2]

Joseph - Judy C. does a great BSN live with the Boston Pops. I love that version. Just beautiful.

[midnight johnny]

Great songs John


Hey there Jim...good to see you!!!

[sophisticated_soul]

Weather in San Diego today is cold and cloudy.:[[

[sophisticated_soul]

Joseph - Judy C. does a great BSN live with the Boston Pops. I love that version. Just beautiful.

She is amazing! I saw her live in the early 70's and she was just stunningly beautiful. Those eyes!

[JimBagley]

We had snow in Pennsylvania today.

[MotownSteve]

Same here in NJ

[midnight johnny]

Oh Miss Kim!
Soundin' so great.
Thanks for playin' it, John.

Glad you likeee!!!

[Methuselah2]

What's Carole King doing doing Annette Funicello?
Demo or no demo, very strange-sounding recording.
But, as the expression goes, interesting.
Not "Artie Johnson very interesting" perhaps but interesting
yet and still.

[sophisticated_soul]

I am woman, hear me bitch
buy this record make me rich;)

[[sighhhhhhhhhhhh.......)

[Methuselah2]

According to T J Lubinsky, new remixes of THE HUNTER GETS CAPTURED BY THE GAME and [[COME 'ROUND HERE) I'M THE ONE YOU NEED are in the works from Tom Moulton.

[Methuselah2]

I'M LIVIN' IN SHAME.
That's not about Mrs. Smucker
is it?

[Glenpwood]

This alternate of Livin In Shame has a very MOR laid back Muzak vibe to it. Rather than sounding ashamed Diana sounds indifferent about poor pot eating jam making mama....

[lovechild]

you go Neil!

[Glenpwood]

If Neil wanted to know where the boys are he couldve just asked his songwriting partner, Howard Greenfield....;)

[Methuselah2]

I co-sign, Tony.
Neil worked the room.
Probably had someone else drive the getaway car.

[sophisticated_soul]

Probably had someone else drive the getaway car.

Probably Howard Greenfield.;)

[Methuselah2]

John, YOU never have to be ashamed.
I will be ashamed for you.
Please note: The song title was originally
I'M LIVIN' ASHAMED.
Perhaps.

P.S. Great Chantels take.

JUST TWO KINDS OF PEOPLE IN THE WORLD.
That is perfection.
John, you now never have anything to be ashamed of.
Until tomorrow.

[Methuselah2]

I am woman, hear me bitch
buy this record make me rich;)

Helen performed in SF last month.
I hear she did I AM WOMAN completely spoken.
I understand the audience loved it.
To me, that's very scary. Very.

[sophisticated_soul]

I had such a crush on Ricky Nelson when I was a kid!:o

[midnight johnny]

Thank you all for such a wonderful night........see you next week...be safe and warm................

[Methuselah2]

For me--David. Definitely David.

[sophisticated_soul]

Thank you all for such a wonderful night........see you next week...be safe and warm................

Where did the time go?! Wonderful show John! Thanks everybody! See you all next time.:)

[Glenpwood]

Would be more fun to see Helen Reddy recite all the Leave Me Alones in Ruby Red Dress if shes gonna do a spoken word interpretation of one of her hits..

[lovechild]

I had such a crush on Ricky Nelson when I was a kid!:o
so did 10% of the men in America lol

[sophisticated_soul]

For me--David. Definitely David.

When I became a teen it was definitely David. Oh yes, I out grew Ricky.:rolleyes:

[Glenpwood]

Always A Great Time..... enjoy the week one and all! Nite!

[lovechild]

Thanks for a groovy night of alternates and demos JP :) have a great week

[sophisticated_soul]

True, true. LOL!

Glen - That's a riot!

[Methuselah2]

You did, John.
You blew my mind this time.
Great show.
Always fun being with the ol' gang.
Now, how do I get in touch with Howard Greenfield?

[Glenpwood]

Get a direct line to heaven, poor Howie died in the late eighties from Aids Complications. The Captain and Tennille who had most of their hits from Sedaka/Greenfield covers when not covering Shop Around did a great tribute song to him and his partner in the 90's called Love Survives.

[Methuselah2]

Sorry to hear that, Glen. But thanks very much for the update.
