8th Feb 2023		Vinyl Album
The Rascals - Peaceful World		'Mother Nature Land' and 'Visit to Mother Nature Land' are very similar but they are different.

In the first instance they are different in length, the former being 3:30 and the latter 5:03. The reason for this is that the latter has a lengthy instrumental section before the fade.

I suspect that they were two different takes of the same song that were both included on the album because there was room for them. Since the musicians that play on both tracks are the same, I also suspect that both tracks were recorded in the same studio session.

The Young Rascals - Original Album Series		I think the Lord Fauntleroy shirts and knickerbockers (as they are called in the UK - knickers are women's panties here) were also meant to help in the visualisation of the name 'Young Rascals'.

The Rascals - See		As with the vinyl album, the Collector's Choice CD album See does include 'Hold On' as the twelfth track - It's simply not listed on the back cover.

Oddly, the only place it is mentioned is on the back cover of the inlay card where the original back cover of the vinyl album is reproduced. I have to admit that these days I need my glasses to read it.

What this means of course, is that the track listing above, at this moment in time, is incorrect. Perhaps the moderators would care to put this right. The song was written by Felix Cavaliere.

16th Dec 2018		CD Single
John Martyn - Classic John Martyn		Interesting thread this - John Martyn's 'Angeline' was the first commercially released CD single. Dire Straits 'Brothers in Arms' (at just 700 copies sold on tour) was never commercially released.

As Steve Kelly 1st has said there were no rules or guidelines in the early days of CD singles, it being such a new format, so Martyn (or Island) were able to get away with five tracks. Not sure why he mentions later that a 'single' is 15 or 24 minutes max and then adds a link to a website which clearly states 25 minutes max.

Twenty-five minutes and four tracks was introduced as the onslaught of 12" singles in the early 80s with a variety of mixes and number of tracks ended up making it difficult to determine what constituted an album and or a single.

Steve 'Silk' Hurley had a UK No. 1 with 'Jack Your Body' in January 1987 with 12" sales included when the 12" single was 27minutes 53 seconds long and therefore an album. It seems that no-one noticed it at the time. Compare that to the Beach Boys' albums Wild Honey and Friends for example which were both under 25 minutes in length.
