Also, we're starting a new series, [b]Battle of the Bands, which features two artists on the same disc. Kicking it off is Queensryche vs. Rush, which will be followed during the rest of the year by:

AC/DC vs. KISS
Van Halen vs. Aerosmith
Queen vs. Styx
Journey vs. Foreigner

These last 4 discs have mostly new songs on them (new for SC). Sorry... I will not be responding anywhere about what songs are included.

Chapin/Croce/Lightfoot: Kind of screwed the pooch for this disc when we put three new Chapin songs (for SC) on 8668. That left four new Croce songs to put together with 5 songs by the other two that we had already released on previous Spots. I don’t think that's enough for those particular artists to make that disc fly, so we canned it.

So what to do with the 4 new Croce songs? They will end up on a Star, along with 4 Lightfoot songs from our catalog (new redone versions of Carefree Highway and If You Could Read My Mind – I think). July, maybe August.

No Queen vs. Styx disc. After researching songs that we hadn’t done yet, we didn’t feel there were enough strong candidates to create a whole disc of “new” songs that would have any appeal beyond core fans. So we took what we thought were the strongest and most requested songs and put them on 8725.

A Harry Chapin/Gordon Lightfoot/Jim Croce disc is right down my alley. Hopefully the songs will be those not already available. Nothing worse than duplicate songs especially since these artist have collectively produced and recorded hundreds of songs.

I missed the previous post. It would be criminal to can the disc as I said there are a number of hit recordings of these artists, enough infact to make many discs. I could name the songs but time doesn't permit me, however I will mention Jim Croce's 50th anniversary album as having 40 hits alone.

If Chapin seems to be out of the loop for the disc concept, may I suggest perhaps put James Taylor with Jim & Gord. There are a number of hits of his yet to be put on the karaoke format, and being a singer/songwriter
certainly places him in good company there...

lots of songs. LOTS of'em!

(hell, since I'm dreaming, can we please get "Mona" out on karaoke? It's a fairly obscure but funny song about a pig from his "That's Why I'm Here" album. Every time he comes to town, my sister and I are up front screaming "PLAY MONA!!!" )
thanks,

I'm very excited about the Headbanger's Hits - Vol. 11 as it has DU HAST by RAMMSTEIN on it. I would like to know if this track has English backup vocals on it. I'm hoping that it does not as myself and several of my customers want to sing it in German, but if the track has the English backup vocals as well, it wouldn't sound very well with the English and German combined.

Can anyone help?

Thanks

We’re going to take the bulk of our existing Queen catalog, possibly add two new songs (or maybe not), and release a Queen Spot when school starts again.[/B]

Yes, Dan, 8434 seems to be discontinued. But, if I were a betting man,
I'd wait on the possibility of a Jerry Reed Star disc with both those
songs (not real soon, but not too much later, either).
