DEEP CUTS AGAIN
VA - Deep Cuts, Better Than The Album Singles (A Butterboy Compilation) CD1+CD2+CD3
Many terrific tracks remain hidden on an album. These tracks have been overlooked. Sometimes there is a hit lurking on the B-Sides of singles from that album. There are literally thousands of great album tracks that are as good as the singles released from an album that could, nay SHOULD, be on this list. Due to the subjective nature of a songs appeal to the individual listener there could be hundreds of compilations of great material that could be generated. Alternatively, there are also many tracks that live on the B-Sides of singles that should have been on albums. (This will be for another series of compilations to come. Stay tuned)
Here are 60 deep cut tracks that are better than the singles that came from these albums. Enjoy!

Sometimes it seems there are hundreds of milions so called "underrated" bands in history of music - When in Rome are surely one of them.
ReplyDeleteHi StoneRose.
DeleteWhat a great sound they had. All these artist, whilst many are famous, have many hidden gems on albums and when compared to their singles are sometime better. Enjoy the selections.
Cheers.
Excellent choices, Mr. B.! Many thanks & kudos. Best, TC
ReplyDeleteThanks TC.
DeleteAppreciated.
Cheers.
It is interesting to listen to older album tracks. There is always something overlooked that jumps out with todays ears.
ReplyDeleteHi lemonflag,
DeleteAlbums always give more than just the singles lifted from them.
Cheers.
great choices Bowie Sweet Thing and Stones Fingerprint File so glad to see/hear them....
ReplyDeleteThanks JD Hogg,
DeleteAlbums tracks are great especially when they are of this caliber.
Glad you like this set.
Cheers.
Love the concept, BB. I know a bunch of your choices and am excited to explore the ones I don't know! Thanks for all you share...always something interesting.
ReplyDeleteHi OldDJ.
DeleteThank you.
I always try to make my comps interesting and appreciate that you think that is the case.
Cheers.
Love this comp, but was disappointed when I saw the album cover and, what? No Strawbs?
ReplyDeleteHow about Sweet? Off The Record always reminds me of Strawbs Deep Cuts anyway
Hi Pol,
DeleteThanks.
I hope you are not too perturbed.
I thought I may get some flack for that cover and no Strawbs tracks.
Is there a track called Sweet on their Deep Cuts album?. I only know 'Sweet Voices" by the Strawbs but its not on that album but I do like "So Close And Yet So Far Away" from Deep Cuts
Cheers.
Never judge a book by its cover!! Thank you both, for making so great compilations.
DeleteCheers!!
Thanks Manolis
DeleteΚαληνυχτα.
Μείνε ασφαλής.

BB

Hi Sam I. R. Davies,
DeleteNew links established, tested and working.
Cheers.
This must have been overlooked by me.
ReplyDeleteDo I understand it wrong? Are these songs from albums, and not 45 singles a-side releases?
What are The Beatles - A Hard Days Night doing there, it was a number one hit in 1965
Yes - Yours is no disgrace was a single (no chart-hit) as was 1986 Smiths - There's a light..
Fleetwood Mac -Tusk top ten late '79
Most are correct, but in quick viewing these stood out ( I have 3 of the 4 myself)
Thanks, Richard.
DeleteI appreciate the thoughtful look! You’re absolutely right to flag those, and it’s worth untangling a few details:
Beatles “A Hard Day’s Night” It was definitely a #1 hit, but in 1964, not 1965.
Yes “Yours Is No Disgrace” Technically released as a single in Italy and the Netherlands in 1971, but not in the UK or US. It didn’t chart, and most fans know it as the opening track of The Yes Album.
Smiths “There Is a Light That Never Goes Out” This one’s tricky: it was not released as a single in 1986, only appearing on The Queen Is Dead. It became a single six years later in 1992, posthumously.
Fleetwood Mac Tusk” Absolutely. Released in September 1979. Huge oversight on this one
So yes, most are album tracks, but a few had later or limited single releases. Great eye catching those.
I will do better next time.
Cheers.
Yes, (Yours) I agree, as is done with songs like Child In Time (Deep Purple), it became a single in some countries.
DeleteThe Beatles and Fleetwood Mac, we agree on
this link to the Smiths
https://www.discogs.com/master/2732795-The-Smiths-There-Is-A-Light-That-Never-Goes-Out
also shows it was a single, and that is why I do not have that one myself, only in France in 1987
and as a promo in the US
