In the last few months, a number of "lost" 80s tunes have been popping up on iTunes. In addition to "Shine Shine" by Barry Gibb and "Boys Do Fall in Love" by Robin Gibb, the following songs are now, finally, available on iTunes as well:
Don't Give it Up-- Robbie Patton
If I Had My Wish-- David Lasley
That's Love-- Jim Capaldi
So Wrong-- Patrick Simmons
Without looking at the db, I think all of these songs are otherwise available on cd, but the cds on which these songs appear are long out of print and ridiculously expensive on the secondary market.

"Don't Give It Up" wouldn't be in the database. It only exists on an import CD from France, and was taken from vinyl, and the software used to clean the recording took the life out of it (and the music out of it). It's the least-bright recording I've ever heard, and if you turn the treble up to 10, it's still the least-bright recording ever heard.

I looked at the very first post in this thread - from Pat - listing the songs that had yet to appear on CD. I specifically looked at the '70s and '80s titles, and since this list was created nearly 10 years ago, I was curious to see how many '70s/'80s hits have since appeared on domestic CD since then. I was VERY surprised to see how little there was that's since been released in the past decade!

Time flies! October 12 will actually mark the 10th anniversary of this chat board - well, since it was opened to folks outside of Pat's administration, anyway - and I joined two days later, on 14 October 2004. (Had just purchased the 10th edition of Pat's book weeks earlier.) I remember this thread well. :-) So because it has now (for argument's sake) been a full decade since Pat left the list in the very first post in this thread on 05 February 2005, and because the '70s & '80s are by far my two favorite decades of interest as well, after reading your post, I decided it would be fun to go ahead and crunch the numbers, just to see how much merit your surprise/disappointment had. (And heck, since I've finally become a registered user of the on-line database, I could actually look up the current listings, so why not put that new access to some good use, lol...)
After a detailed analysis of all the titles from the '70s & '80s, the numbers are in, and they're actually fairly decent, IMO. (Drum roll...) It turns out 18 of the 39 (46.2%) top 40 hits from the '70s that were unavailable on U.S. CD ten years ago have since made their debut, along w/ 10 of the 24 (41.7%) top 40 hits from the '80s. So combined, that's 28 out of 63 - or 44.4% - that we've been able to scratch from the era you specified. (Hardly my definition of "little", but your mileage may vary.) By far, the most credit goes to the Wounded Bird label for filling in the largest number of gaps from this period, w/ nods to Eric, Renaissance, and Collectables as well. We're now down to just 35 songs from the '70s & '80s that are still MIA on U.S. CDs...
In chronological order, as of February 2005, this was the complete list of 63 missing songs dating from the '70s & '80s, w/ the 28 that have since made their U.S. CD debut shown in bold, complete w/ where & when:

I must thank Todd Ireland for an assist in this, as his post from 13 February 2005 - where he took the time to break down Pat's original list into decades - saved me a bundle of time in compiling this, by making it easy to skip over the 200+ titles that dated from the '50s & '60s, which I have little interest in. (Anyone here care to tackle the stats from those two decades, now that we've reached the 10-year marker???)
Over the course of researching Todd's modified list of Pat's original, I realized it was necessary to DELETE nine titles from it, while actually ADDING two others (net loss of seven). Specifics below...
The following titles that were in Pat's original list from 05 February 2005 are NOT shown in my list above. This is because it turned out these top 40 hits had indeed been available on at least one U.S. CD at that time, so they shouldn't have been on the list in the first place (Pat just wasn't aware of those CDs back then, due to their rarity):
1973 EDWARD BEAR - "Close Your Eyes" (on one older V/A CD from 1998)
1976 JIMMY DEAN - "I.O.U." (on one older Jimmy Dean CD from 1987)
1976 AL WILSON - "I've Got a Feeling (We'll Be Seeing Each Other Again)" (on one older V/A CD from 1995)
1982 DR. HOOK - "Baby Makes Her Blue Jeans Talk" (on one older Dr. Hook CD from 1983)
1982 STARS ON 45 - "Stars on 45 III" (on one older V/A CD from 1991)
1983 AGNETHA FALTSKOG - "Can't Shake Loose" (on one older Agnetha Faltskog CD from 1983)
1984 BARRY GIBB - "Shine Shine" (on one older Barry Gibb CD from 1984)
1986 ANDY TAYLOR - "Take it Easy" (on one older O.S.T. CD from 1986)
I should also note that I did bend the rules slightly for four others which I did keep on the list, as their initial CD appearances did occur prior to 2005, but I felt they were close enough: Joey Heatherton (2004), Sam Neely (2002), Beach Boys (2003), and David Lasley (2001)...
In addition, since February 2005, it appears Pat has changed his mind w/ regards to the following song qualifying as a top 40 hit, as it no longer appears in the database at all (so it's gone from my list above as well):
1970 FRIJID PINK - "Sing a Song for Freedom" (#39 Cash Box, #41 Record World, #55 Billboard)
However, the following two did NOT appear in Pat's original list from 05 February 2005, but are now shown in my list above, as it has since been decided by folks here on this chat board that their CD appearances ten years ago should be disqualified:
1975 JOHN FOGERTY - "Rockin' All Over the World" (lone CD appearance was on an import that Pat had listed by mistake; only other CD appearance is a live version)
1980 JIMMY RUFFIN - "Hold On to My Love" (lone CD appearance was deemed too short; other two CD appearances are re-recordings)
Not to open up a can of worms, but it's worth noting that the appearance of the Beach Boys' 1981 hit, "The Beach Boys Medley", was on a CD single. I only point this out because Pat has been inconsistent when it comes to entering situations like this into the database, where a top 40 hit's only U.S. CD appearance is on a single. At this time, I can think of four examples: The aforementioned "Beach Boys Medley" (1981), "Voices That Care" by Voices That Care (1991), "Long Road" by Pearl Jam (1995), and "Candle in the Wind 1997" by Elton John (1997). (It's possible I may have forgotten one or two others.) I certainly DON'T feel that all CD singles need to be in the database - but how is it that both the Beach Boys and Voices That Care qualify for inclusion, while Pearl Jam and Elton John DON'T??? Speaking for myself, I feel that if a top 40 hit's ONLY U.S. CD appearance is on a single, then that single SHOULD be in the database; if the song becomes available on an album-length CD at a later date, then the single should be dropped, and the new album added in its place. Therefore, at this time, I think the listings for both the Beach Boys and Voices That Care should stand, while Pearl Jam and Elton John should be added (and you'd also have consistency!). Just my two cents on this issue, but I think most other database subscribers would agree - after all, the more info, the better, right??? :-)

Great detailed info. I didn't pull out the calculator like you did, but at 40% or so, I agree that's a significant amount!
But as for the Al Wilson song I'd modify the list you put it on. The one CD appearance is from vinyl (and not cleaned very well), so I'd like to suggest putting it back to the original list and saying something like "Only available from vinyl transfer", just as you had other qualifiers on other songs (re-recording, etc.) to warn the buyer of the issue with the original source.

Well, just to clarify, the criteria for which songs appeared on my list above was based solely on what Pat currently says when you look them up in his on-line database. In other words, type that artist and/or title into his search engine, and you get his "not on CD" symbol, w/ the red circle and line through it. Of course, another approach you can use to highlight those songs is to type dates into the "YEAR RANGE" fields and click on the "N" next to "ON CD", before hitting the "SEARCH" button...
Currently, the song you mentioned - Al Wilson's 1976 hit, "I've Got a Feeling (We'll Be Seeing Each Other Again)" - does NOT yield the "not on CD" symbol when you look it up in Pat's database. Therefore, he considers its lone CD appearance to be legit. And I see that he does, in fact, note in the database that the song is "mastered from vinyl" on that one CD - so I feel he's already done his part to warn us... :-)
The qualifiers that I noted on some of the other songs merely reflect what Pat currently states in the database, which he feels is enough to warrant the "not on CD" symbol when you search for them (from re-recordings to live versions to "digital download only", all of which I agree with - again, my only complaint being his lack of consistency when it comes to songs available only on CD singles). So if - like w/ Al Wilson - you feel that when a song's only CD appearance to date is from a vinyl transfer, that that should be enough to warrant disqualification from counting as being on CD, I suggest taking that up w/ Pat - after all, it's his database. :-) And let's face it, there are MANY additional songs in the database where their only CD appearances are "mastered from vinyl", so again, let's be consistent, and change all of those to "not on CD" as well. Personally, I think that's going a bit too far, but perhaps I'm in the minority on that one...
Edited to add: Just minutes ago, I checked Pat's on-line database again, and I see that in the last few days he's ADDED the CD singles by both Pearl Jam and Elton John to the listings, and thus you no longer get the "not on CD" symbol when you look either of those up - thumbs up! :-)

Alright, so over the last couple of days, I decided to take on that challenge myself. :-) HOWEVER, due to the sheer volume, I chose not to go into as much detail as I did w/ the '70s & '80s. No album titles or release dates this time - just the no. of CDs and the record labels - which means I also made no attempt to weed out the songs that were already on CD as of February 2005, but appeared on the list because Pat wasn't aware of their existence on CD at that time (although I'm sure there are a few examples). Still, it turns out Pat made some additions (18) & deletions (2) of his own over the last ten years from this period, and those are noted after the list...
Here are the stats, and frankly, I was SHOCKED at the numbers, as both decades are almost double what I was expecting: 56 of the 104 (53.8%) top 40 hits from the '50s that were unavailable on U.S. CD ten years ago have since made their debut, along w/ 96 of the 127 (75.6%) top 40 hits from the '60s. Combined, that's 152 out of 231 - or a pretty remarkable 65.8% that have been scratched! It was interesting to see that about 95% of the effort goes to just eight labels, though: Hit Parade, Complete 60s, Abkco (due entirely to their release of the Cameo-Parkway catalog, of course), Reader's Digest, Time-Life, Collectors' Choice, Eric, and Real Gone. Take away all of the CD releases from those eight labels over the last ten years, and the number of songs we could delete drops to only about 15(!) from both decades, combined. But mainly to their credit, we're now down to just 79 songs from the '50s & '60s that are still MIA on U.S. CDs...
So again, in chronological order, as of February 2005, here's the complete list of 231 missing songs dating from the '50s & '60s (including the 18 Pat's added since then, and minus the two he's since deleted), w/ the 152 that have since made their U.S. CD debut shown in bold, complete w/ the no. of CD appearances and the record label(s) that the legit versions were issued on:
1955 DAVID CARROLL - "Melody of Love" (one CD - HIT PARADE)
1955 DeCASTRO SISTERS - "Boom Boom Boomerang"
1955 JOHNNY DESMOND - "The Yellow Rose of Texas" (one CD - READER'S DIGEST)

The following is the list of songs that Pat has since added to the on-line database, apparently deciding over the last ten years that they were indeed top 40 hits (and thus they're also on my list above):
1955 DeCASTRO SISTERS - "Boom Boom Boomerang"
1955 FERKO STRING BAND - "Alabama Jubilee"
1955 GEORGIE SHAW - "No Arms Can Ever Hold You"
1955 GORDON JENKINS - "Goodnight, Sweet Dreams"
1955 LAURIE SISTERS - "Dixie Danny"
1955 McGUIRE SISTERS - "Rhythm 'n' Blues (Mama's Got the Rhythm - Papa's Got the Blues)"
1955 PATTI PAGE - "Piddily Patter Patter"
1955 PRISCILLA WRIGHT with DON WRIGHT and the SEPTETTE - "The Man in the Raincoat"
1955 SUNNY GALE - "Unsuspecting Hearts"
1956 DREAM WEAVERS - "A Little Love Can Go a Long, Long Way"
1956 EDDIE FISHER - "Without You"
1956 McGUIRE SISTERS - "My Baby's Got Such Lovin' Ways"
1957 JOHNNIE RAY - "You Don't Owe Me a Thing"
1957 JOHNNIE RAY - "Look Homeward Angel"
1957 PERRY COMO - "Ivy Rose"
1957 TECHNIQUES - "Hey, Little Girl"
1960 JUNE VALLI - "Apple Green"
1961 KENNY DINO - "Your Ma Said You Cried in Your Sleep Last Night"
The following is the list of songs that Pat has since deleted from the on-line database, apparently deciding over the last ten years that they WEREN'T top 40 hits (so they're gone from my list above as well):
1956 RICHARD HAYMAN - "Mack the Knife"
1956 LAWRENCE WELK and HIS ORCHESTRA - "Mack the Knife"
One new inconsistency that I discovered along the way, though: The original recording of Johnnie Ray's 1957 hit, "You Don't Owe Me a Thing", appears on two CDs, where it's "missing a whistling overdub" on both - yet that missing overdub is enough to disqualify the song as appearing on CD. According to the database, Senator Bobby's 1967 hit, "Wild Thing", has appeared on one CD to date, where it's "missing a kazoo overdub" - however, that missing overdub apparently ISN'T enough to disqualify the song as appearing on CD. My two cents: Disqualify Senator Bobby, just like Johnnie Ray - but again, I'm just looking for consistency, more than anything. (Or maybe Pat just hates kazoos, so he can live w/o it??? ;-)) Thoughts, anyone??? (Actually, after just reading the thread devoted to "Wild Thing" here on this chat board, I believe that Pat needs to add some more details to the database regarding this one - after sorting out the mono vs. stereo LP versions, etc., to be fair, it appears that the lone CD version that's missing the overdub may qualify after all...)
Also, Kenny Dino's 1961 hit, "Your Ma Said You Cried in Your Sleep Last Night", currently appears on only one CD, where Pat merely states, "this is not the 45 version" - but that incomplete info is enough to disqualify it as counting on CD. I don't disagree w/ that analysis at this time, but point being, it would appear that w/ further investigation, this song could potentially see its status changed for its lone CD appearance. (Could it be a second 45 version that's on that CD??? An LP version??? Anyone???)

"Give Ireland Back To The Irish" has been released as a bonus track on the new Wings' Wild Life CD reissue. It may have been on a UK reissue a couple of decades ago but finally appears on a US release. McCartney never included the song on any hits compilations despite hitting #21 in the US in 1972.

80smusicfreak,
Now that it is 2019, I would be quite interested to see what top 40 hits still have not made it to CD at all. From 1955-2019.
To be entirely accurate, Coming Up (Live At Glasgow) made it to CD timing in at 3:28, but it's a version that NEVER was released as a promo and never existed. So if Hold On To My Love has an incorrect shortened version that does not match the 45 and its sole appearance should be disqualified, shouldn't Coming Up be held to the same standard since it runs 3:48? It has never made it to CD in its correct 45 version so it should be on the list.
I can say that in the 2010's thanks to the NOW series in the UK and US a lot of top 40 songs have appeared on CD. However with the digital download not everyone has appeared on a CD here in the US.
I can say that the 2012 Somebody I Used To Know Mike D Remix that was played constantly is not on any US CD (or even any import I know). The 2011 S & M remix with Britney Spears only appeared on the CD single. It, along with the other Til The World Ends remix remain only on CD singles and have never gotten commercial release on a US album. It was not even on Britney's essential a few years back.
What complicates expanding the list to the 2010's further is the disappearance of the CD single and the emergence of digital download. The other thread with the ITUNES only downloads should be incorporated into one huge list of songs not available on CD from 2005 to the present.
Just this year numerous top 10 hits have no CD release (Old Town Road, Without Me etc) but do have a digital download available. Let's face it, many hits (Girls Like You with Cardi B, not the album version) are digital downloads now and not on CD.
So lets see what is remaining...

Isn't the version on CD of Jimmy Ruffin's "Hold On to My Love" the dj edit? If that's correct - when the only version on CD is the dj edit, how does Pat define this situation? Is it listed regularly but with the listing saying "dj edit" in its description? If that CD version was never on a 45 (stock or dj) in 1980, I agree that it should be disqualified for the list.

The CD with "Hold On To My Love" is :05 shorter than the promo 45 length. The CD is 3:03 and promo 45 is 3:08.

Aaron, I don't recall where the line is drawn. If it's 5 seconds shorter than a dj edit or a single version, is it excluded as being that version? If it's within, say, fading 3 seconds early, it's included as that "version"? I know this conversation came up before. But I just can't recall what the decided parameters were.

I'm not sure, either. Pat would have to weigh in on that.

Usually I make the comment that a cd appearance is :xx shorter than the commercial or dj 45 and if it is only a few seconds shorter then I do not make any comment. So to answer your question completely there is no hard and set time limit that has to be attained before I make that comment. I assume now that most 45 running times have been entered in the database and you can reach your own conclusion based on that information.
