### Sound Choice RULES! ###

Now that I've buttered up the studio, allow me
to present my Want List. It's rather long (sorry),
and also a bit unusual, because NONE of the songs
has EVER been released in the CD+G format in the
US or UK. (A few have appeared on cassettes.)
Every tune is a chance for Sound Choice to release
a KARAOKE WORLD PREMIERE!

I've noted which songs appeared on Billboard's Top
Pop list. Quite a few are Top 20s, or even Top 10s!

[This message has been edited by Professor (edited March 19, 2001).]

I do have to make one correction though. The Beatles, Anna (Go to him) has been released on CD+G. It was on the original DK 1-99. I have it in the set that I use. I can't recall the exact number... wait let me check my database...
Thanks for waiting. It was on DK 22 track 15.

SC has already put out "Love Is Like Oxygen" and "Conquistador", albeit the latter is on an NSC series.

However, I will second these songs from above:

Thanks for the correction. Now I have to go find a copy of the disc for my Ultimate Beatles Karaoke Collection. Sigh.

Duh. Thanks for the correction. Chalk up another reason to save beaucoups $$$ for that Brick.

May I add?

Today - Jefferson Airplane - Surrealistic Pillow Album
Wind Up - Jethro Tull - Aqualung Album
8:05 - Moby Grape - Great Grape Moby Grape (I thought I was alone remembering them so I never suggested it)
Keep On Trying - Poco - Album title eludes me now
Dino's Song and Don't Cry My Lady Love - Quick Silver Messenger Service Anthology

Seconds on:

Avenging Annie - Andy Pratt (cool, why not reach!)
Summer Rain - Johnny Rivers
All Beatle Songs from the Album Help! not already produced (by SC, of course)
More Cat Stevens would be wonderful - Miles From Nowhere would make my hubby really happy

Professor, you and I must be around the same age and listened to the same type of radio stations in our teens. Do you remember a comical classic by Wilderness Road called "The Gospel Hour"?

As far as music and radio goes, Lincoln, Nebraska's only claim to fame was the very first FM Progressive Rock station in the nation - KFMQ. Man, I loved them! They played everything, from Andy Pratt to Linda Ronstadt and Gordon Lightfoot to Black Sabbath and Jethro Tull.

Add IN MY LIFE

I would definitely shell out $179 (maybe even more) for 8 discs of Beatles tunes (8 x 15 = 120 songs... I think that would get just about everything that is singable) especially if they were made by Sound Choice.

I would love to get a good version of "I've Got A Feeling", and "Hey Bulldog" in any event.

So HOW ABOUT IT SOUND CHOICE? Lets have a BEATLES BRICK!!!!!!

People use the various Elvis packs to do Elvis shows. I saw a guy 2 weeks ago, an impersonator, who doesn't really have to try to look like Elvis, go into the karaoke store and buy the Velvet Elvis set because he was missing a song that was only in that set.

Don't get me wrong. I'm not against a Beatles set, and I have sung far more Beatles songs than Elvis (once). I just have hard time thinking a Beatles set would be a big seller. Even with all the Elvis stuff out there, I think an SC Elvis set would outsell an SC Beatles one. Of course, with all the songs already produced by SC, they could package Elvis and the Beatles into a Hits Pak. That's omething even I would buy.

The Poppy Family
"Which Way You Goin' Billy?"
"That's Where I Went Wrong"

Some of the titles include:

That is going to be a must have Beatles disc come May.

Thanks so much!

Actually, a couple of us around the SC block here did dub this the "obscure" Beatles disc - kind of an oxymoron, though. It started out with an emphasis on the quieter, more acoustic oriented songs, then we included some of the others after looking at the requests, and found a couple of "wow, we haven't done that one yet?". (We thought about "...Me and My Monkey", but, after listening we thought there was too much instrumental and vocal filler and not enough singing for karaoke. I could just see us trying to encode all those "c'mon, c'mon, c'mon"s there are at the end.)

Anyway, if you're serious, here's the lineup by album in chronological order:

Help
I've Just Seen A Face

Rubber Soul
In My Life
Norwegian Wood

Revolver
And Your Bird Can Sing

Sgt. Peppers
Getting Better
She's Leaving Home
Being For the Benefit of Mr. Kite

This is certainly a welcome disc. Thanks again, SC!

Although only four of the offerings are actual premieres (specifically, "I've Just Seen A Face," "Mr. Kite," "Don't Pass Me By" and "Glass Onion"), many of the others are available only in dreadful arrangements from other, less tasteful labels.

I wait with baited breath for a Sound Choice version of what IMHO is the single most amazing Beatles song ever: "You Never Give Me Your Money." I have a pretty good Video CD version which I made myself using an obscure Japanese music-only backing track, but it would be nice to have a decent CD+G edition. (The CD+G offered by another US label is chintzy and anemic.)

I can't believe that I missed this BEATLES thread until now. I'm bouncing off the walls right now with the track listing for the new SC Beatles CD+G. I can't even begin to tell you how excited I'm looking forward to buying this CD the day it hits the karaoke shoppe. Think I'll start off with GLASS ONION, SHE'S LEAVING HOME, and finish up with BUNGALOW BILL.

I've been waiting years to sing the line, "I told you 'bout the Fool On The Hill...I tell ya man he's living there still..." with the little recorder/flute playing the lick from the original song.

Thanks a million, guys and gals at SC!

BTW: Can't you squeeze PIGGES on that disc somehow? lol

In my original post, I only listed 13 songs. But in the song-by-album post, I added "Norwegian Wood" and "Fool On The Hill" that complete our disc.

BTW: The Philips electronic company uses "Getting Better" as a running theme for thier commercials. This has always cracked me up because they keep leaving the last part of that verse out...

"You got to admit it's getting better, geting better all the time...*IT CAN'T GET MUCH WORSE*"
