"Nightflight" Tue Nov 18, 9P-12M ET: "Baby...It's Andy and George!!!"

[midnight johnny]

Howdy there, Folks! A very special world premiere event for you tonight, on the heels of the brand new Universal/Motown release by Miss Diana Ross..."Baby It's Me" ...produced by Richard Perry. I have the pleasure of having the producers of the "Baby It's Me...the Expanded Edition" producers Andy Skurow and George Solomon on the show...discussing this long awaited collection! I'm most appreciative of Andy's and George's sharing this joyful and meticulous production on my show. Thanks, Guys! And a huge thank you to engineer Kevin Reeves for his masterful mixing and mastering, and to executive producer Harry Weinger! So join me for all this...and my special co-host Justine Alten...tonight...on "Nightflight"...on WOMR 92.1 FM Provincetown and WFMR 91.3 FM Orleans...and streaming live worldwide in digital stereo at www.womr.org Thanks so much! See you on the radio! John

[Glenpwood]

I'll be "Gettin Ready For Love" and Nightflight all day. Nine can't get here fast enough! The Funny Girl show George and Andy put together with Kevin was exceptional and I'm sure this will be no less than outstanding and leave me feeling on 'Top Of The World."

[[That 2014 mix of TOTW btw is amazing. I had that on loop last night for about an hour until I got the side eye of death from Carl that he might like to hear a different track from the set.)

I can't encourage folks enough to buy this, gift it, and spread the word. I'm sure the show will be the final nudge for the holdouts though...

Final unpaid solicitation. Everyone scrounge through their couch cushions or skip a few Starbucks coffees and make a small donation to WOMR.ORG. They aren't snobs about the pledge size

Tonights show couldn't happen without them after all and it's important to "Spread Love" as Miss Ross is known to say....

See everyone here later!

Will Andy & George be on the show 'Live' or will they be pre-recorded a la "Funny Girl"?

[RossHolloway]

I downloaded Baby It's Me last night on iTunes. Really looking forward to tonights show!

[Mark Desjardines]

John, from past experiences listening to "Night Flight" when you've had Andy and George share their thoughts, I know just who exciting and informative the conversation will be this evening. I purchased my iTunes copy of "Baby It's Me," yesterday and one thing for sure, Baby, I'm in!

[thanxal]

First, thank you thank you thank you for Baby It's Me. The work you do is tremendous.
Second, any whispers, hints, rumors, intimations about The Supremes A Go Go? Pweeeeeeeeezzeeee?????

[greg jones]

Kudos to Andy & George for for finally making this available!!!

Sadly, but i won't be listening tonite as i have to work! Though i do have a couple of questions:

• Were there not 12" versions from some of the songs from this album ? If so, why were they not included ?


• Since everything is going to do digital downloads, does preparing for digital downloads quicken the process for you by eliminating steps You would have to do for a physical release?


• Does catalog items going to digital downloads mean that we might get more back catalog items not currently available as downloads from record companies so that a good portion of a record companies catalog is available for downloads rather than being no longer available ?

Thanx for all the hard work guys, it is MUCH appreciated!!!

[vgalindo]

So exciting to hear Andy and George talk about "Baby It's Me" . Bought the download last night and it is wonderful. I love it. The new bonus tracks are to die for. I hope and pray it will eventually have a cd release.

[copley]

Hi John. Can you please confirm that it's 2am UK time that your show commences? Thanks

[midnight johnny]

Copley...my sources tell me you are 5 hours ahead of me...you are correct, sir!

[copley]

Actually, Carole...I've had them flown in for the show...

I too downloaded the release from iTunes last night. BIM is probably my favorite DR album of all times. My faves are "You Got It", "Your Love Is So Good For Me", "All Night Lover", "Confide In Me", "The Same Love That Made Me Laugh" and 'Come In From The Rain". Of the new release, I liked "Brass Band" and "Room Enough For Two". I would love to hear the duet version of "Room" with Ross and Billy Preston. There was a hint of an updated Diana's Duets ... is it in the works? I am looking forward to the show tonight MJ. Can't wait til 9.

[skooldem1]

Speaking of what could possibly be in the works. I know this is off topic, but I've always wondered if there were un-released tracks, or alternate versions of songs from "The Boss" album.
