DOWNLOAD NO.21 - PUSSYFOOT

PUSSYFOOT - DONNA JONES MARRIES “A MIXTURE”.

PUSSYFOOT HAD 2 BIG HITS IN AUSTRALIA IN THE MID 1970S AND MOST AUSSIES PROBABLY THOUGHT THE ACT WAS FROM THE U.K. WELL THAT’S SLIGHTLY WRONG! HALF OF THE ACT WAS FROM OZ.

DONNA JONES (LEAD SINGER) WAS THE SPOUSE AND PARTNER OF MICK FLINN WHO WAS A MEMBER OF THE AUSSIE POP GROUP, “THE MIXTURES” 1969-1972. THE MIXTURES SANG: “IN THE SUMMERTIME”, “PUSHBIKE SONG”, “HENRY FORD” AND “CAPTAIN ZERO” AMONGST OTHERS.

MICK FLINN WAS A WRITER, PRODUCER AND MUSO. FLINN STAYED BEHIND THE SCENES AND DONNA WAS PROMOTED AS SOLO ARTIST PUSSYFOOT.

THEIR FIRST HIT WAS “THE WAY YOU DO IT” IN 1975. IT REACHED #1.

THEIR SECOND HIT WAS “OOH JA JA” IN 1976-77. IT REACHED #9.

DONNA AND MICK WORKED TOGETHER FOR THE REST OF THE 1970S WITH MINOR SUCCESS IN OZ. THEN DONNA GOT A GIG IN “THE NEW SEEKERS” CIRCA 1980.

IN EARLY 1983 FLINN AND JONES FORMED A “PUSSYFOOT BAND" AROUND DONNA (MOSTLY FEMALE BAND MEMBERS + MICK ON BASS) AND THEY TRIED THEIR HAND AT DISCO 12" MIXES.

“MIND OVER MATTER” - EXTENDED MIX

“LAY YOUR LOVE ON THE LINE” - EXTENDED MIX

THE 12" RECORDS DIDN’T SET THE DANCE WORLD ON FIRE BUT MANY AEROBICS TEACHERS USED THESE LONGER SONGS FOR THEIR WORKOUT MUSIC. IN 1984 MICK CO-WROTE "DO THE CONGA" WHICH WAS A HIT FOR U.K. GROUP "BLACK LACE"

PUSSYFOOT BAND WAS IN THE “SONG FOR EUROPE” CONTEST IN THE MID 1980S BUT BY THE END OF THE DECADE DONNA WAS BACK AS A SINGER IN “THE NEW SEEKERS”.

NOWADAYS DONNA FLINN (MARRIED NAME) IS SINGING AS PART OF A JAZZ ENSEMBLE AND STILL REMAINS PART OF “THE NEW SEEKERS”. SHE HAS NUMEROUS INTERNET SITES ABOUT HER EARLY WORK IN THE U.K. AS PART OF POP GROUP "SPRINGFIELD REVIVAL".

THE 4 SONGS IN THIS DOWNLOAD ARE:

1. 'THE WAY YOU DO IT’ (EXTENDED TOM MIX FROM C.D.)
2. ‘OOH JA JA’ (EXTENDED TOM MIX FROM C.D.)
3. 'MIND OVER MATTER' (EXTENDED LONG VINYL MIX)
4. 'LAY YOUR LOVE ON THE LINE' (EXTENDED LONG VINYL MIX)

DOWNLOAD NO.19 - CROWDED HOUSE

CROWDED HOUSE BURST ONTO THE WORLD STAGE WITH THEIR SECOND SINGLE FROM THEIR FIRST SELF TITLED ALBUM.

IN THE U.S.A. THE 1ST SINGLE WAS "MEAN TO ME", THE 2ND WAS "DON'T DREAM IT'S OVER" RELEASED IN DECEMBER 1986. IT WAS A MASSIVE #1 HIT HERE AND IN THE U.S.A. WHERE IT GOT TO #2. "SOMETHING SO STRONG" WAS THE 3RD SINGLE AND THE 4TH WAS "WORLD WHERE YOU LIVE". THE 5TH SINGLE WAS "NOW WE'RE GETTING SOMEWHERE".

THE SINGLES WERE RELEASED IN A DIFFERENT ORDER IN AUSTRALIA, "WORLD WHERE YOU LIVE" WAS 1ST...

FOR SOME REASEON THEY DIDN'T DO 12" VERSIONS FOR ALL THE SINGLES BUT 2 WERE REMIXED AND EXTENDED.

THE DOWNLOAD BELOW HAS BOTH RARE 12" VERSIONS OF "DON'T DREAM IT'S OVER" AND "WORLD WHERE YOU LIVE".

THE ORIGINAL 12" MIXES WERE NOT LONG ENOUGH FOR ME, SO OF COURSE, I HAD TO ADD SOME TOM MIX TOUCHES AND PAD THEM OUT TO 7 MINUTES LONG.

http://rapidshare.com/files/103463327/2_crowded.rar

IN MY SELF-MADE COLLECTION THERE ARE MANY MORE CROWDED HOUSE TOM MIX 12" REMIXES. IF YOU WANT MORE PLEASE LEAVE A REQUEST IN THE COMMENT LINK.

DOWNLOAD NO.18 - HOME

THIS DOWNLOAD IS THE 7" SINGLE "BANG BANG BANG" BY AN N.Z./OZ GROUP CALLED "HOME". THEY HAD A CONNECTION TO A VARIETY OF OZ AND N.Z. BANDS. THE GROUP MEMBERS HAD BEEN IN SEVERAL BANDS BEFORE CUTTING THEIR ALBUM "LONG LONG WAY TO NOWHERE" WHICH CONTAINED THIS SINGLE. GLYN MASON WAS FROM MELBOURNE GROUP "CHAIN".

IF YOU DIDN'T KNOW WHO YOU WERE LISTENING TO AN EDUCATED GUESS MIGHT BE BRIAN CADD. THE VOCALS ARE VERY SIMILAR TO WHAT HE WAS SINGING AT THE TIME. IT IS SOPHISTICATED COUNTRY ROCK.

THE SONG IS EDITED FROM AN ALBUM VERSION THAT IS 8 MINS LONG AND HAD THE 3RD VERSE AND OTHER SECTIONS EDITED OUT FOR THE SINGLE. WHEN YOU GET TO THE END OF THE INSTRUMENTAL BREAK OF THE EDITED SINGLE THE SINGER SAYS "I LAID HER RIGHT THERE" AND UNLESS YOU KNEW ABOUT THE CUT OUT VERSE YOU WOULD BE WONDERING TO WHAT HE WAS REFFERING???

http://rapidshare.com/files/103388533/home_-_bang_bang_bang__vinyl_tom_mix_.mp3

I HAVE ALWAYS LIKED THIS SONG. IT WAS NOT AND ENORMOUS HIT BUT THE BAND MEMBERS ALL WENT ONTO OTHER GROUPS AFTER THIS COLLABORATION.

IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO CHECK OUT THEIR WORK IT IS AVAILABLE AT "MIDOZTOUCH".

THE PEOPLE WHO RUN "MIDOZ" MAYBE MOVING TO A DIFFERENT DOMAIN SOON AND THIS LINK MAY NOT WORK, CHECK IT OUT NOW, DON'T WASTE TIME!

DOWNLOAD NO.16 - RICK SPRINGFIELD

RICK SPRINGFIELD FROM THE EARLY DAYS WAS TALENTED AND GOOD LOOKING. HIS TEENAGE APPEAL (LOOKS) REALLY HELPED HIM BREAK INTO THE U.S.A. MARKET. HIS FACE WAS IN EVERY TEENAGE MAGAZINE THEN HE WAS ABLE TO CRACK THE SATURDAY CARTOON MARKET WITH HIS SHOW "MISSION MAGIC".

"SPEAK TO THE SKY" WAS HIS FIRST MAJOR OZ SINGLE AFTER LEAVING OZ POP GROUP ZOOT. "SKY" WAS FOLLOWED BY OTHERS INCLUDING "HOOKY JO". FOR THE U.S.A. MARKET HE RE-RECORDED "SPEAK TO THE SKY" BUT FOR "HOOKY JO" THEY JUST HAD A SPELLING CHANGE: "HOOKY JOE".

WHEN THEY DECIDED TO RELEASE RICK'S C.D. ANTHOLOGY IN THE LATE 1990S THE TEAM WORKING FOR ROBBIE PORTER (ORIGINAL PRODUCER) WERE TRYING TO FIND ORIGINAL TAPES FOR RICK'S SINGLES. I WAS ABLE TO HELP SUPPLY SOME SONGS ON C.D. WHICH I HAD AS BOOTLEGS FROM KOREA. THE AUSTRALIAN MASTERS HAD BEEN LOST.

WHEN THE ANTHOLOGY C.D. GOT TO MARKET MY FRIEND STEVE SCANES GAVE ME A BI-LINE FOR MY HELP.

TO FIX ONE OF THE GLARING ERRORS ON THE ANTHOLOGY C.D. I AM PUTTING UP FOR DOWNLOAD AN EXTENDED VERSION OF "HOOKY JO". ON THE C.D. ITS STARTING DRUM LINE HAS BEEN RUN OVER THE END OF THE PREVIOUS SONG AND IT SOUNDS REALLY OUT OF PLACE.

"HOOKY JO" WAS MADE IN 1972 AND HAS A WHISTLE SECTION WHICH WAS LATER COPIED BY BRITISH GROUP "PAPER LACE" WHEN THEY RECORDED "BILLY, DON'T BE A HERO". IF YOU PLAY THEM BACK TO BACK THEY ARE VERY SIMILAR....ALMOST SAME STORY USED ABOUT THE U.S.A. CIVIL WAR.

DOWNLOAD NO.15 - BODY AND THE BEAT

DRAGON FROM N.Z. HAD STORMED THE CHARTS A COUPLE OF TIMES IN OZ WITH THEIR BLEND OF GOOD-TIME POP AND ROCK. THEN THEY TRIED THEIR LUCK IN THE U.S.A. MARKET.

ON OFFER IS THE EXTENDED SINGLE OF "BODY AND THE BEAT". THIS REMIX IS CALLED "THE WOMEN AND CHILDREN FIRST" EXTENDED REMIX. IT WAS MADE FOR CLUBS AND DANCE FLOOR VENUES HERE AND IN THE U.S.

THE FLIP WAS A SINGLE MIX OF THE ABOVE AND THE U.S.A. DANCE REMIX OF "RAIN". I MAY POST THAT ONE TO THIS SITE AT A LATER DATE IF PEOPLE MAKE REQUESTS IN THE COMMENT SECTION BELOW.

THIS DOWNLOAD OF THE ORIGINAL VINYL MIX IS PRISTINE AS I HAD NEVER PLAYED IT UNTIL THE DAY I RECORDED IT AND TURNED IT INTO A WAVE FILE.

DRAGON HAVE A LINGERING FAN BASE IN OZ AND N.Z. BUT AS USUAL NOT ALL THEIR OLD REMIXES AND RARITIES HAVE MADE IT TO C.D.

IN MY OWN REMIX COLLECTION I HAVE MADE LONG DANCE MIXES OF "GET THAT JIVE", "APRIL SUN IN CUBA" AND "RAIN". AT THE TIME THERE WERE NO LONG MIXES FOR THESE SONGS SO I HAD TO BE INVENTIVE MYSELF - WHEN I WAS WORKING AS A MOBILE DISC JOCKEY.

DOWNLOAD NO.12 - BEATHOVEN / THE INNOCENTS

SOME OF THE BEST POP MUSIC IN AUSTRALIA WAS MADE BY GROUPS THAT WERE NOT PROMOTED FULLY AT THE TIME BY THEIR AFFILIATED RECORD COMPANIES. BEATHOVEN WAS ONE SUCH AUSSIE GROUP.

THEY HAD A NAME THAT WAS A PLAY ON SPELLING, LIKE THE GROUP THEY STYLED THEMSELVES AFTER, "THE BEATLES".

BEATHOVEN HAD SOME BEAUTIFUL 7" SINGLES THAT IF RELEASED OVERSEAS WOULD HAVE MADE A BIG AURAL IMPACT.

THEIR SINGLE "SHY GIRL" SOUNDED LIKE AN EARLY BEATLES SONG BUT DONE IN A MID-1970'S STYLE. IT IS THE MOST LENNON-MCCARTNEY SOUNDING SONG NOT RECORDED BY THE BEATLES.

http://rapidshare.com/files/102973830/Beathoven_-_Shy_Girl__Ext_Tom_Mix_.mp3

DAVID MINCHIN AND THE BEATHOVEN BOYS WENT THROUGH A NUMBER OF STYLE CHANGES AFTER THEIR FIRST SINGLES WERE RELEASED. FINALLY THEY METAMORPHOSED INTO THE GROUP "THE INNOCENTS". IN THEIR NEXT PHASE THEY PRODUCED SOME EXCELLENT POWER POP IN THE 1980S. IT IS STILL VERY COLLECTABLE TODAY.

IN MY STUDIO COLLECTION I HAVE MADE SOME EXTENDED 12" VERSIONS OF THEIR SINGLES. DAVE AND I WOULD LIKE TO PUT OUT A C.D. OF THE EXTENDED REMIXES.

DAVE HAS ALLOWED ME TO EXTENDED BEATHOVEN'S "SHY GIRL" AND PUT IT ON THIS SITE. THE MIX HAS AN EXTRA FEW BARS AT THE START AND SOME SLIGHT DIFFERENCES THAT HARDLY CHANGE THE INTENT OF THE ORIGINAL. DAVE LIKED THIS 12" MIX BECAUSE HIS GUITAR SOLO GETS 2 RUNS WITH THE SECOND VERSION BEING SLIGHTLY FUZZY. THE ORIGINAL 3 MINS IS NOW 5 MINS.

DAVE WANTS INTERESTED PEOPLE TO CONTACT HIM BY E-MAIL OR PHONE ABOUT THE UPCOMING C.D. COLLECTION HE IS ABOUT TO RELEASE WITH THE SUPPORT OF RAVEN MUSIC.

DAVE'S MOBILE NUMBER: (OZ PREFIX PLUS) 0 4 3 8 1 9 0 0 2 1

DAVE'S E-MAIL: minchinhampton@gmail.com

PLEASE TELL HIM TOM SENT YOU.

NO, YOU DON'T GET A DISCOUNT !

DAVE AND THE BOYS (MEN) HAVE ALSO PRODUCED SOME NEW "INNOCENTS" SONGS IN "THE" ABBEY ROAD STUDIOS LONDON. THEY WERE THERE IN 2006 JUST BEFORE MY WIFE AND I WENT TO LONDON. IF ONLY I WOULD HAVE KNOWN, I WOULD HAVE TRIED TO POP ALONG TO SEE THEM.

DOWNLOAD NO.11 - ALISON MCCALLUM

TODAY'S FEATURED DOWNLOAD ITEM IS 2 DISTINCT VERSIONS OF "SUPERMAN" BY ALISON MCCALLUM/ALLISON MCCALLUM/ALSISON MACCALLUM. . .

ALISON'S NAME IS WRITTEN IN A VARIETY OF CONFIGURATIONS AND IT'S DIFFERENT ON SEVERAL OF HER R.C.A. RELEASES. THE NAME MAYBE SPELT DIFFERENT BUT HER VOCALS ARE UNMISTAKABLE.

ALSISON WAS THE SINGER ON SEVERAL SONGS BY THE GROUP "FRESHWATER" AND SHE DID COMMERCIALS AND BACKING ON MANY OTHER SONGS. "SUPERMAN" WAS HER BIGGEST SOLO HIT. A MID 1970S HIT CALLED "EXCUSE ME" WAS A CLOSE SECOND.

THE ORIGINAL VERSION OF "SUPERMAN" CHARTED IN THE EARLY 1970S THEN THE DISCO 12" MIX CHARTED AT THE START OF THE SUPERMAN MOVIE CRAZE (LATE 1970S EARLY 1980S). IT CHARTED OVERSEAS TOO BUT NOT IN A MAJOR WAY.

THE 2 VERSION HERE ARE:

EXTENDED VERSION OF THE ORIGINAL 7"

DOWNLOAD NO.10 - MONDO ROCK

AN OLD MONDO ROCK 12"

"THE MOMENT"

IT'S ONE OF THOSE DANCE MIXES THAT NEVER SAW MUCH CHART ACTION. THE 7" MIX WAS NOT A HUGE SUCCESS.

CLICK LINK TO DOWNLOAD:

http://rapidshare.com/files/102719549/mondo_rock_-_the_moment__ext_vinyl_tom_mix_.mp3

THE SINGLE IS SOMETIMES CALLED "MOMENT" ON VARIOUS C.D. COMPILATIONS.

THERE WERE MIXES MADE IN NEW YORK FOR THIS SONG BUT IT WAS NOT BIG IN THE OVERSEAS MARKET EITHER.

DOWNLOAD NO.9 - THE NEW DREAM

HOW MANY TIMES HAVE YOU WISHED AN OLD SONG YOU LIKED COULD JUST BE A BIT LONGER?? YOU'D GO ASK A GIRL FOR A DANCE AND THE RECORD WOULD BE OVER BEFORE YOU KNEW IT.

THE SONG USED FOR THIS DOWNLOAD WAS FROM THE ERA WHERE BUBBLEGUM SHORT SONGS WERE VERY POPULAR...BUT I ALWAYS WANTED A LONGER DANCE VERSION OF THIS SONG.....

WHEN I FIRST GOT MY POCKET MONEY SAVED UP TO PURCHASE MY FIRST VINYL 7" RECORDS I HAD NO IDEA THAT ONE DAY I WOULD BE ABLE TO EXTENDED SONGS AND MY WISH WOULD BECOME A REALITY.

"SOFT DELIGHTS" WAS FIRST DONE BY TANGERINE PEEL WHOSE BAND MEMBERS INCLUDED MIKE CHAPMAN - HALF OF THE TEAM CHINN/CHAPMAN THAT WROTE SONGS FOR THE SWEET, SUZI QUATRO, MUD, BLONDIE ETC. MIKE WAS THE SOLE WRITER OF THIS SINGLE. TANGERINE PEEL'S VERSION SOUNDED OK BUT HAD NO HOOK UNTIL THE MELBOURNE GROUP NEW DREAM GOT SOME HORN RIFFS ADDED.

HERE FOR THE FIRST TIME IS THE EXTENDED BUBBLEGUM HIT FROM 1971. THE ORIGINAL 2:30 MINS IS NOW A MASSIVE 4:00 MINS !

MY GOOD FRIEND MICKO GOT A VERY PRISTINE COPY OF THE SONG IN STEREO FOR ME TO USE. THANKS MICKO.

http://rapidshare.com/files/102486602/The_New_Dream_-_Soft_Delights__ext_cd_tom_mix_2008_.mp3
