BenLPMarts ● 19th Feb 2024		CB review 2.7.81 pg 9



BenLPMarts ● 19th Feb 2024		I rarely ramble on here but since no one has I'm gonna. I'm on a mission to remaster the top 1000 song artists of all time. I merged data from 2 big providers one of whom is US & UK-centric and the other more global and that left me around 1300 and I try to 'remaster' [combine an artist's best 80mins and best sounding tunes onto a CD [or 2-3-4-5]. I'm working on Don McLean trying to sort Crying & Chain Lightnings' timelines. I'm gonna suppose that Don's contract was done at UA and he did a 1-off with Arista and then signed with Millennium for 1978's Chain Lightning. It 'feels like' Millennium which was being distributed or marketed by Casablanca was leaving them to go to RCA. Send lawyers guns & money as Casablanca said 'whoa- not so fast'. Record is ready late 1978 and CL gets released 1st strait-away legally 12-78 to Don's fans in NL [& likely Belgium]. UK follows next 2-79 and then powers that be say let's chill as North America release gets held off until Millennium-RCA can then release and promote this product in 1981. I'm guessing here that Don's still gotta work and maybe does an EU-UK tour winter '79-80. Crying takes off as hit and goes #1 NL 1-80. Belgium follows in Feb and UK in May which triggers S. Africa. That triggers Oz & NZ where Crying charts but kinda average. Jan-81 finally rolls around and luckily for all Millennium gets Crying to hit again in US-Can & hence Brazil 2+ years after 1st release fall '78 where Don can actually smile like the back of this LP after sitting in his corner of this boxing with the politics of this album. Ramble over.
