CubbiefanMike Posted September 19, 2005 Share Posted September 19, 2005 Anyone know what the names of the Ktel Records that the Raspberies Music appeared on? I just got "Fantastic" from a garage sale today with IWBWY on it! Is there a Rapsberries Discography available with all the albums Raspberries music appeared on and all solo stuff as well.

marvin Posted September 19, 2005 Share Posted September 19, 2005 K-tel's "Believe in Music" had "Go All the Way" on it and was my introduction to the band.Marv Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pierson Posted September 19, 2005 Share Posted September 19, 2005 i posted all the ones i knew somewhere... there's at least 3, probably 4.... beware on Fantastic, IWBWY is edited... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darlene Posted September 19, 2005 Share Posted September 19, 2005 Who would have the *gall* to "edit" that song?! --D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
popdude Posted September 19, 2005 Share Posted September 19, 2005 Who would have the *gall* to "edit" that song?! --D Sad to say, I've been hearing more and more brutal edits of classic pop songs on oldies radio stations lately, including hatchet jobs on Rod Stewart's "Maggie May," the Chi-Lites' "Have You Seen Her?" and, worst of all, on Paul McCartney's "My Love," where some genius edited out the entire guitar solo!

Bill C Posted September 20, 2005 Share Posted September 20, 2005 I think Dynamite was another title, I think, if I remember correctly, that it had "Tonight" on it. By the way, all songs were terribly edited if it was longer than a minute and a half Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trindy Posted September 21, 2005 Share Posted September 21, 2005 I am ashamed to say I had a copy of the 3-record set "Today's Super Greats" that I got for Christmas in '73. It had "Go All the Way" on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CubbiefanMike Posted September 21, 2005 Author Share Posted September 21, 2005 Yeah they are edited but still cool to see the Raspberries featured on a collection of hit records and fun to listen to. I got "Fantastic" for 1 dollar. The record is in great condition sans inner sleeve. I used to have all the K-tel records that had Raspberries songs on them... and forgot the titles... also my introduction to the band and Rock Music. I didnt know they were on cd must be missing alot of songs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CubbiefanMike Posted September 21, 2005 Author Share Posted September 21, 2005 Bernie, If you are going to show the Dirty Dancing Soundtrack as part of the Discography then you should add The KTEL Records that had Raspberries songs as well.

aggiesjc Posted September 21, 2005 Share Posted September 21, 2005 When I was 6, my older sister got K-Tel's "Believe in Music," my first introduction to GATW. However, I didn't realize it until the mid-1980s when I bought that "Raspberries' Greatest" compilation and recognized the song from early childhood.

Tiggsherby Posted September 21, 2005 Share Posted September 21, 2005 Sounds like another great thread:What other great songs (singles) were chopped to fit radio: American Pie, Love Machine and I even remember hearing a version of Bohemian Rhaspody which cut out all the operatics in the middle.Wasn't "Sunrise" also cut significantly for airplay on the radio?

pierson Posted September 21, 2005 Share Posted September 21, 2005 Bright Side also contained "Let's Pretend"...songs cut/edited for radio are numerous (probably thousands)... still in my dna are the radio edits for "miss you" by the stones & the early U2 singles (New Years Day)...

marvin Posted September 22, 2005 Share Posted September 22, 2005 Or better still, what was the first 5 min+ single that *was not* chopped because the artist refused editing?Marv Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kirk Posted September 22, 2005 Share Posted September 22, 2005 Good catch, Pat. After I saw the 'berries on side one I didn't even think to look at side two. I guess that makes this K-Tel record the berry best with two Raspberries tunes on it! Kirk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimmy19029 Posted September 22, 2005 Share Posted September 22, 2005 Yeah, there were some horrible edits on those. I had 22 Explosive Hits. No Raspberries on there, I don't think. I remember a Hollies 20 Greatest Hits that would fade all the songs out early.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pierson Posted September 22, 2005 Share Posted September 22, 2005 DOA...Bloodrock. (Just kidding) Hocus Pocus by Focus is on Fantastic... kinda close.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CubbiefanMike Posted September 25, 2005 Author Share Posted September 25, 2005 Marvin I think I remember reading that the Police "Every Breath You Take" was one of the first singles Un-Cut. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
