austinberries Posted June 15, 2007 Share Posted June 15, 2007 its prob already been covered before somewhere, but can eric, or someone, describe to me if there are any raspberries tunes that were recorded but never saw the light of day? maybe they were tunes that got squeezed off the album b/c of space or aesthetics or preferences, or they weren't fully happy w/ the performance captured. i guess i'd be mainly interested if any of them were eric's more so than the other guys, & if a version of any of these tunes are floating around out there somewhere (like on eric's or bernie's computer that he could upload!;-) would just be interesting to hear any, since their published library consisted of 4 albums (just enough to leave us hanging & calling for more 30+ years later) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paulie Mississippi Posted June 15, 2007 Share Posted June 15, 2007 A couple of years back... more?... Capitol had a "Best of" package ready to release that included a few of these... but it never got through the legal squabbles... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

darlene Posted June 19, 2007 Share Posted June 19, 2007 The way things are going, I wouldn't count out anything unexpected and wonderful happening. Some things we would never have believed have already taken place and the good stuff just keeps on coming! --Darlene Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

seattlesteve Posted June 19, 2007 Share Posted June 19, 2007 Unreleased 'berries. You got to track down I believe it's called "Oh Tonight" It's a combination of Eric doing Elvis, Friday On My Mind (Easybeats), Beatles, and Raspberries all in one. More hooks than a bait shop.Killer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MAM Posted June 25, 2007 Share Posted June 25, 2007 I have the BMG "Greatest Hits" that wasn't supposed to be released (lucky me!)and I think they're both listed as Eric & Wally. Correct me if I'm wrong Eric.Wally plays a mean harmonica on one of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bought two copies of that when BMG Music Service had it briefly (gave my extra copy to a Cleveland Plain Dealer writer), and you are correct sir --- both songs were written by Eric and Wally! Wally's harmonica is too cool! Don Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raspbernie Posted June 26, 2007 Share Posted June 26, 2007 In case you need another reason to buy the "Special Edition," the demos on the new release are remastered from the original tapes and sound much better than those on the hard-to-find Capitol CD. The only versions of the tunes that existed when Capitol issued their "Greatest Hits" CD were on acetates. The new material (discovered just a short time ago) even features some pre-roll, so you hear the boys fiddling with their instruments and harmonica before the take starts!!!Bernie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
