I know it's been said that RC is "all done", but as a fan I can dream can't I?
I'm aware this topic may not be welcome and maybe it's been exhausted, however I want to try and see if I can get any more information on these songs I listed if possible.
It's really early to mention the 50th anniversary compilation, but I'm wishing and hoping for that bonus track. Am I nuts? Unless everything was lost in that fire, but I think there's got to be something floating around somewhere. I've read that Richard is "over it" and he's not part of the business anymore for a number of reasons, BUT if there were any songs that were completed for "As time goes by", but didn't make the cut I hope they surface.
Based on the buried treasures list there was still some unreleased songs that have a whole lead according to an interview with Richard. There's some he said "sucked" and wouldn't put out, but other titles he said he would consider.
So, I picked at that list and I guess this is what we're left with that would actually be releasable.
1) All my life (Rich said he wanted to put it out)
2) Slaughter on tenth avenue (instrumental)
3) Try and win a friend
4) A wedding prayer- RC
5) Won't you play a simple melody
6) You'll never know- RC vocal
7) The moon's a harsh mistress
8) And when he smiles
9) All it is now (was said to be too Carpenter-esque, but has a whole lead)
10) Why don't they understand
11) Something's missing (it was rumoured that Richard wanted to work on this KC outtake)
12) Love makin' love to you (I included it here just because it was a finished song)
What do you think? Which ones would you really want to hear or see officially released?
