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"

  1. Very nice work Tom, here and elsewhere. I was looking for this track for years until I found the album "Fresh Water" on vinyl in Atlantis a year ago, then on a CD comp from Sony/BMG more recently. Check out my page for a little surprise regarding this track very soon!!
    Keep up the good work,
    Adam
