We all do...very deeply. I miss her "killer" smile. I miss that incredibly beautiful voice. I miss the great songs she would have owned.Another year without my favorite artist of all time.
I miss her
Another year without my favorite artist of all time.
From what I’ve heard Vinny’s contract ended and he is no longer working on any of her releases and that was before the duets arrives so he’s been gone for awhile. I also heard that US MCA/Geffen/Ume released their own version of Totally Hot because they own the rights to that album. Primary Wave also released their version in the UK only, same tracks, no bonus material. Either there isn’t any or MCA won’t allow it, not sure. The US MCA Cd is very nice packaging cover represents great replica of colors although it’s missing the red border. The UK primary wave colors are off slightly more reddish saturated. The UK comes with a nice folded poster inside. The mastering is another story, it’s brickwalled, super loud and hard to listen to. I prefer the original analog MCA CD which is hard to find and expensive.Just touching on the subject of Olivia briefly, the deluxe edition remasters seem to have stalled or been cancelled completely. We got the deluxe two-CDs of If Not For You and Physical (which was outstanding), but the rest, like the much anticipated Totally Hot, have since only been released as the original standard CD or LP - nothing like what they promised.
When people contact Primary Wave, they just ignore them. Vinny Vero, the Head of Deluxe Projects, who was going through all the tapes and digitising and cataloguing them for the deluxe releases, has been really quiet lately too and avoiding questions. All very strange…
I also heard there may not be any more deluxe editions. It’s all quite sad, not impressed with how PW has handled her work but at least her albums are being remastered and out in the public after they have been neglected for so long.
Songwriter Holly Knight complete self-titled 1988 album. The song "Heart Don't Fail Me Now" went to # 59 (Hot 100) in October of 1988 which starts the album with the music video. Like Diane Warren, Holly wrote songs for other artists or groups including Pat Benatar 1983 song "Love Is A Battlefield" which Holly does the remake.
I just finally figured out what this song was called…I’ve been hearing it for years without knowing the name. I love this song, definitely my favorite by Billy Idol.
Perri Lister’s French backing vocals really add something interesting to the song - she’s got great tone.
Hah - I always forget that the C’s version was technically a cover, too…Very nice cover of the Carpenter's cover
