I remember reading about it in Billboard as a teenager. I either saw it in one of Randy’s articles in Yesterday Once More, or one of Chris An Ordinary Fool’s posts, if that is what you are referring to.Listened to the EMI Vinyl of Yesterday Once More,
the song
Don't Cry For Me Argentina,
is a superb vocal performance.....
Too bad the News footage of Passage recording session is (apparently) nonexistent.
Listening to the Jp
Anthology Compilation-LP this morning.
I must say,
I Just Fall In Love Again...
does sound fantastic here.
This may require further investigation. I just pulled out the 1989 CD set of ANTHOLOGY and it sounds as if "I Just Fall In Love Again" has a higher degree of reverb on Karen's vocals compared with all of the other versions. Can this be a previously undocumented remix?
Debby Boone--You Light Up My Life
I’d have liked to hear Karen sing this song. I know when she heard it, she regretted not having recorded the song herself.
^^Coleman Biography, Page 229:
"Curb's record label scored a five-million-selling record (Boone's You Light Up My Life)
that stayed at the top of the charts for ten weeks. Mike Curb had played the song earlier
for Karen, who declared " I should have done it !" as the record climbed the charts.
She and many others had not registered it as such a potential winner."
I’m glad she didn’t though. That would have made her hyper-uncool.
The Jp Anthology LP is really special.
Not only is the song
I Just Fall In Love Again
crystal clear,
but, I would argue that this same clarity applies to
Don't Cry For Me Argentina.
Adds to that special place in my heart for the Passage LP.
A few days ago, played
I Just Fall In Love Again
for a friend-- he asked why it had not been released as a Single.
He believes it could have made a dent on the charts 1977 or 1978.
I concur.
In fact, looking at (a few of ) the top pop 1978 songs:
Debby Boone--You Light Up My Life
Paul Davis--I Go Crazy
Barry Manilow--Can't Smile Without You
Dan Hill--Sometimes When We Touch
Olivia Newton-John--Hopelessly Devoted To You
David Gates--Goodbye Girl,
I Just Fall In Love Again
might have fit into the list for 1978......
Here's a Victoria Day surprise. A while ago I posted some pictures of a Canadian 45 of the Edited version of Calling Occupants Of Interplanetary Craft showing a Mono mix. Well, here's a link to that scarce Mono mix. The Mono mix starts about 4 minutes into the video, however, I included the stereo side as well for comparison
Well VHS and Betamax’s HIFI have been compared to having close-to the same dynamic range and response as CD audio, whereas their linear mono tracks have been compared to being a little better than AM radio (and better than audio cassette).What a clever trick!
Since I felt like avoiding the surface noise, I had the idea of using the Gold DVD's 48khz 16bit audio track for 'Calling Occupants' - the cleanest 'single edit' available to me. I spliced the singles SACD's keyboard intro onto the track, and crossfaded them togeter (no Tony Peluso!). Here!
Something I noticed as a result of this, was that the original mix with trumpeting was used in the Gold DVD, yet on the Interpretations DVD the more common remix with more reverb and less brass was used. I'd never noticed it before!
