🔸Pre-Queen Singles Discography🔸

Today, on June 29th, 1973 - 'Pre-Queen' Story!

'I Can Hear Music' / 'Going Back' released in the UK, Germany and USA

🔸In the summer of 1972, Trident Studios' in-house engineer Robin Geoffrey Cable instigated an experimental project in an effort to emulate the "wall-of-sound" style made famous by Phil Spector. Queen happened to be recording their debut album in the studios at the time, so he invited Freddie Mercury to lay down the lead vocals who, in turn, roped in Brian May and Roger Taylor to provide percussion, guitar and backing vocals - as paid session musicians.

In June 1973, shortly before Queen's own debut album was released, EMI decided to cash in on the emerging glam rock trend and rushed out the resulting recordings as a 7" single under the name of Larry Lurex - an obvious send-up of Gary Glitter.

🔸The Ronettes (and later Beach Boys) classic 'I Can Hear Music' was recorded that summer in Trident Studios and features (per Freddie's insistance) Roger Taylor on drums and Brian May on guitar. The single was released in the UK a week before Queen's first album, becoming the first solo product by a Queen member. Freddie insisted the Queen name not be used for the release, so it was released under the pseudonym Larry Lurex.

🔸'Goin' Back' is best known as a 1966 single by Dusty Springfield. The song written by Carole King and Gerry Goffin and was recorded by a number of artists including The Byrds, Phil Collins and eventually Carole King herself.

The song was used as the B-Side to the Larry Lurex single "I Cant Hear Music".

"Earth Angel (Will You Be Mine)"

The song was originally recorded by The Penguins in late 1954, with Belvin (using the pseudonym Curtis Williams) as lead singer. "Earth Angel" entered the rhythm and blues chart in early 1955 and was #8 on the Best Selling Singles chart. Other charting versions include Gloria Mann's version in 1955, Johnny Tillotson's in 1960 and The Vogues' version in 1969. Excerpt from site: elvis100percent.com

Album: "From The Vaults -'50s" (2016). Originally recorded in 1959 as a home recording (informal session).

LYRICS:

Earth Angel, Earth Angel Will you be mine My darling dear Love you all the time I'm just a fool A fool in love with you Earth Angel, Earth Angel The one I adore Love you forever and ever more I'm just a fool A fool in love with you I fell for you And I knew The vision of your lov-loveliness I hoped and I prayed that someday That I'd be the vision of your hap-happiness Oh, Oh, Earth Angel, Earth Angel Please be mine My darling dear Love you all the time I'm just a fool A fool in love with you

A private recording of Elvis singing "Earth Angel" in Germany (1959) appeared on the 1984 LP "A Golden Celebration" and the track was also later featured in other of Elvis' posthumous albums such as "From The Vaults -'50s" (released in 2016 as part of the monumental 60-CD set "The Album Collection" made by Sony DADC, Austria, which includes also "From The Vaults - '60s" and "From The Vaults - '70s" in the set) and the FTD reissued of the 1959 compilation album "A Date With Elvis" (released in 2017).

Elvis Presley: A Golden Celebration LP cover (1984) -- A few of the private recordings Elvis taped informally at home while stationed in Germany (Army period) are featured on this album, including 'Earth Angel' by the Penguins. The 50th Anniversary LP contains 3 discs with recordings of some of Elvis' most iconic moments in his career, including tracks from Sun Records Sessions, TV appearances, the Mississippi-Alabama Fair And Diary Show in Tupelo, MS (1956), some tracks recorded during the '68 Comeback TV Special (NBC, 1968) and even some unknown-recording-dates tracks discovered in Graceland ("Collector's Treasures").

If you're of a certain age, you remember the ads for the compilation albums by Ronco and K-Tel -- "20 original hits by the original stars" was always the tagline -- but there were other companies out there putting out mixtapes on vinyl, like Sessions, and then there is this two-record collections by a company called I & M Teleproducts which has 23 releases listed in Discogs.com -- several of which are Lawrence Welk, but many of which are contemporary collections.

Dreamin' is from 1979 and I approve of the tracklist. While Ronco was putting Wild Cherry's "Play That Funky Music" and Barry Manilow on the same record, or K-Tel was mining the latter half of the Top 100 with Forgotten Charting Singles By Major Artists, I & M was attempting to stay a bit more on-topic and contained mostly music that neither of the bigger names had tapped but you knew. And being a two-record set, you felt like you got twice as much tunage when actually you didn't (21 songs) but there was a better chance of higher quality sound due to the uncompressed groove on the vinyl. It's up to personal opinion whether the line "21 original hits by 18 original artists" sounds impressive, especially since the songs by those repeated artists have been pretty much forgotten.

Here's the track list and you do know many of them:

A1 Samantha Sang– Emotion A2 Dan Hill– Sometimes When We Touch A3 Gladys Knight & The Pips– Best Thing That Ever Happened To Me A4 David Soul– Don't Give Up On Us A5 Paul Anka– The Times Of Your Life B1 Kenny Nolan– I Like Dreamin' B2 Gladys Knight & The Pips– The Way We Were B3 Atlanta Rhythm Section– So Into You B4 Mary MacGregor– Torn Between Two Lovers B5 Jessi Colter– I'm Not Lisa C1 Peter McCann– Do You Wanna Make Love C2 Eric Carmen– All By Myself C3 Jennifer Warnes– Right Time Of The Night C4 LeBlanc & Carr– Falling C5 England Dan & John Ford Coley– Nights Are Forever Without You C6 Daryl Hall & John Oates– She's Gone D1 Roberta Flack– The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face D2 Paul Anka– There's Nothing Stronger Than Our Love D3 Dorothy Moore– Misty Blue D4 The Spinners– They Just Can't Stop It (The Games People Play) D5 Gladys Knight & The Pips– So Sad The Song

Trivia: The Bee Gees wrote "Emotion" though didn't record it themselves for many years. David Soul was Hutch on the TV show Starsky & Hutch. Many of us can't help but think of Kodak film ads in regard to "The Times Of Your Life". Peter McCann technically makes two appearances on this list because he also wrote "Right Time Of The Night". "The Way We Were" is a Barbra Streisand cover from a 1973 movie by the same name, and the spoken introduction to the Gladys Knight song is "Try To Remember" from the long-running 1960 Broadway musical The Fantasticks.

Biography from : Discogs.com

Born to Lieutenant Bekele Kinfe and Mrs. Tenagnework Mekonnen on October 8, 1942, in Addis Ababa.

Died May 12, 2023, while receiving treatment for an undisclosed illness.

Hirut lost her father when she was very young and was raised by her mother and paternal grandmother. Her interest in music started at a young age. Hirut would sing around the house to her closest friends. Hearing her vocal ability, they would encourage her to take music more seriously and consider it a profession. Inspired by these comments, she decided to pursue music professionally. This proved difficult early on as being a musician had many negative connotations in Ethiopia.

At the age of 16, Hirut went to an Army Force Orchestra (ምድር ጦር ኦርኬስትራ) for a vocal competition where she was selected on the spot. Her first song (in 1958), Ye-Hare Shererit [የሐር ሸረሪት, Silk spider], was a hit. At that time, the Police Orchestra was looking for a young talented female vocalist, and she happened to be exactly what they were looking for. The Police Orchestra then plotted a secret mission to kidnap and hide her.

After three months of an intense search, the Army Force Orchestra gave up on finding her and called off the search. Then, only then, she officially became a member of the Police Orchestra. She stayed with the Police Orchestra for 35 years until her retirement from the entertainment business in 1994.

Did Taylor Swift ever release a cassette for the original 1989? And was there a regular and deluxe version? Also was beautiful eyes ever released on vinyl?

No, as previously answered, there was no cassette for the first 1989 release. There was a regular and deluxe CD for 1989. Beautiful Eyes was officially released on a CD/DVD.

Something to keep in mind is that vinyl did not make a significant comeback until a few years ago, so it wasn’t much of a focus for music releases. Taylor’s team started making tapes with reputation. The RSD version of pre-Reputation albums were released as a cash grab by Big Machine when Taylor was in the process of leaving them.
