Long (LONNNNGGG) time since I last visited and love this site:) Greetings from the Great Southern Land !! So guys and girls, if I asked you for the definitive list of B sides that should be cut to a double CD, what would they be? For me, it'd be Urban Samurai, And When She Smiles, Love to Love, Let ...

Yep,

I have that CD ... from the "on stage" series of rare recordings. Only saw it once in Australia. Bought it immediately !!

Full color sleeve and mine's called Midnight blue

Mike

In response to the first part of the original questiom, the answer is yes.

Several times in fact. His last tour here in OZ was to support the release of Dancing with Strangers.

Thanks Bart,

I wish I could lay claim to all those ideas but a couple were raised by Chris.

All in good time I'm sure ..... great site by the way.

Mike

Well, here's mine. 1. Fool (if you think it's over) 2. Diamonds 3. Cleveland calling 4. Raincoat and a rose 5. Urban Samurai 6. Loving you 7. Candles 8. Texas (and that's the Watersign version) 9. Love to love. 10. Ace of hearts 11. Stainsby Girls 12. On the beach 13. It's all gone 14. Let's dance 1...

Hi again Chris ! .... and we haven't even touched colored vinyl .... there's another example of marketing surpassing the music. JJ Cale ? Yep, I like him, very laid back. Jimmy Barnes is in fact Australian (pity he can't sing ... he just screams) and he was the front man for a very successful group ...

Totally concur Chris. My "anger" for want of a better word is most definitely not directed toward the artists .... it IS the record companies that are to blame for obsecene practice ... And it's not just Rea or Sprinsgteen as you've rightly pointed out. Remember Zeppelin's "In thru th...

Yes Chris, I bought the "Tracks" boxset ...... but I don't know what annoyed me more .... paying our huge sums on literally dozens of his 45s and 12 inch singles only to be duped by a consolidated release on CD years after the event that has instant appeal to casual fans, or indeed in Rea'...

Chris, Yep ... understand. I remember purchasing "On the Beach on cassette (I already had the vinyl LP) because (and I hope memory serves me corrcetly) it had the additional track of "Crack that mould". It's an annoying habit of some artists to constantly issue CD (and of course 45 rp...

Hi Chris, At for life downunder it's hot ..... VERY hot ..... I hate summer when the temp hits 40 degress .... and I am talking Celsius .... No, I was referring to 45 vinyl as well ..... quite a few were released down here in picture sleeves and not all followed overseas artwork or indeed track list...

Thank you for the welcome !!

It might not (in fact it doesn't) belong under this section, but is there any reason why these are so few images of CR's singles under the discography section ? I'd love to see that remedied ....

Cheers Mike

Distant Summers ....... from the Tennis LP / CD

"Where memories and dreams are crossed" ...... lyrics from an achingly beautiful song.

Good to see Tobias mentioned Urban Samurai .... a superb song.

I rate that an equal first to the following .....

"Love to Love" (b side of "I Can Hear Your Heartbeat")

Mike

Other artists ?

Mmmm .... lemme see here ......

Toni Childs
Shawn Colvin
Moody Blues
Gordon Lightfoot
Neil Young
Toad the Wet Sprocket (yes, that is a band)

Hi all, I just joined the forum ..... and I'm from Melbourne Australia. I've been a huge fan of Chris right from his first album and smash hit single downunder. I have all of his CDs and an extensive collection of 45s (to secure those rare B sides) and really enjoy his music. A hopelessly ignored ar...
