I can say with absolute certainty that this song is one of my favorites by them. I would have loved to hear a fully produced version.



This one is very interesting to say the least. It's the only song by The Ramones that I'd ever classify as metal. Lead and rhythm guitars, melodic vocals, and the drumming style really makes it sound completely different. I love it. It was never on the original version of TTTD, and it was released with the expanded and remastered version.

Such as "Past Masters, Vol I and Vol II" - Beatles. Terrific!

ZZ Top had the following songs as either Euro-only, Japan-only or CD Single bonus tracks:

Mary's ("Breakaway" CD Single bonus track)
Everything ("Antenna" album, European bonus track)
Isn't Love Amazing ("Rhythmeen" album, Japanese bonus track)
Nasty Dogs and Funky Kings (live in 1996) ("What's Up With That" CD Single bonus track)
Stop Breaking Down (live in 1996) ("What's Up With That" CD Single bonus track)
Ninja Shack ("XXX" album, Japanese bonus track)
Sanctify ("Mescalero" album, Japanese bonus track)
Threshold of a Breakdown ("La Futura" album, Best Buy-only bonus track)
Drive-by Lover ("La Futura" album, Best Buy-only bonus track)

They also would release a song recorded live here and there as a B-side of a single at different times.
Besides these songs (all of which I own), I have a bootleg recording of them playing the old Ernest Tubb song "Waltz Across Texas" live at the Houston Rodeo, with Billy's guitar tech (Elwood Francis) playing pedal steel...Billy does a mighty fine Ernest Tubb impersonation!

Led Zepplin's "Hey Hey What Can I Do" was not originally found on any album.

The Rolling Stones "Jumpin' Jack Flash", "Honky Tonk Women", "Everything is Turning To Gold", "Fancy Man Blues" and "Cook Cook Blues" were all b-sides for 45 rpm singles.

Many of these songs have found their way on to compilations, but the only way to have them originally was to own the 45.

This made it onto the remastered and rereleased Machine Head ... can't listen to the digital remaster myself, I need the original warts and all version.

Jeff Lynne - 'Doin' That Crazy Thing' with B side "Goin' Down to Rio' - found it today in a vinyl record shop.

What a studio setup he has in his digs over there!

The Stones fabulous "Child of The Moon" which was a B side to "Jumpin' Jack Flash" I believe,never made it to an album until the 2nd Hot Rocks album.

The wonderfully flanged and dreamy "Observation From Flight 285" also written by Mark Lindsey which was on the B side of "Don't Take It So Hard" by Paul Revere and the Raiders was only put on fairly recent compilation hits albums.Unlike a lot of other bands at the time,Paul Revere and company wrote most of their own songs that became big hits,with Lindsey making the most contributions to them,as he wrote many on his own.

The flip side of Donovan's "Hurdy Gurdy Man" 45 was one of his most beautiful songs both lyrically and musically, "Teen Angel",it was an incredible song and that too only came out on fairly recent compilation albums.

The Stones' really cool and blues soaked "Who's Drivin' Your Plane" on the flip side of "Have You Seen Your Mother,Standing In The Shadows" also never made it to an album back in the day either.

One of Paul McCartney's best blues rocker songs and with a vocal track that even blows "Oh Darling" away is the incredible "Oh Woman Oh Why" which is on the flip side of the "Just Another Day" 45 only made it to an album at least 25 years after the original recording and is now available on a remastered reissue of either McCartney or Ram CDs.

There are hundreds of songs that were in many cases better than the songs that were intended to be the hit songs,yet never got any attention until many years after the initial release.....that's a pity.

As well as "Travelling Riverside Blues" by Zep, which is an awesome tune.

Call Me by BLONDIE (their biggest hit) doesn't appear on any of their albums, besides the later compilation ones.

Hold Me Up by LIVE is their greatest song, and can only be heard in the film Zack & Miri Make a Porno. That films director Kevin Smith had asked LIVE to use it for 13 years before they agreed.

HIDDEN GEMS.(SONGS THAT WEREN'T ON THE ALBUM), that weren't singles, how about demos. Are we talking obscure practice sessions? :?
