I've had a few PMs and I have shared my Google Drive link
to the mp3.

Everyone here is so nice! Thank you for allowing me into
the forum!

One of my favorite "forgotten" tunes from 1985. It actually peaked at #3 on the WLOL-FM (Minneapolis) weekly survey.

Did a bit better on the Cash Box singles chart peaking
at #31. The song did spend 16 weeks on both the
Billboard and Cash Box singles charts. Since it has
never been officially released on CD it's no wonder it
doesn't ring a bell. It's a lost 80s tune for sure.
Pretty cool tune in my book (I prefer the shorter 45
remix).]]> Fri, 12 Mar 2021 21:05:06 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4177&PID=57655&title=john-hunter-tragedy#57655 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4177&PID=57654&title=john-hunter-tragedy#57654 Author: AdvprosD

1985 was a busy year for me outside of music related interests. I have been reminded of that twice now after this topic and watching a mini-series on Netflix about the guy in Salt Lake who
was forging Mormon documents. The whole year appears to be a blank! This song doesn't ring a bell for me at all.]]> Fri, 12 Mar 2021 20:03:59 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4177&PID=57654&title=john-hunter-tragedy#57654 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4177&PID=57651&title=john-hunter-tragedy#57651 Author: EdisonLite

There are no rights problemd with the song. Sony owns it. Had Rhino's Radio Daze series expanded beyond 1981 and gone to at least 1985, we surely would have asked for this song.

I think it simply boils down to the fact that no label has ever requested this song to be on a comp. (And the original album has never been released on CD in Japan or Europe, etc.)

I really like the song a lot!

Another song in the same category is Stallion's "Old Fashioned Boy (You're the One)" - a top 40 hit that peaked in the low 30s that's never been released on CD.

It's hard to believe a Top 40 song from 1985 (okay, just
barely breaking that barrier) has yet to be officially
released on CD.

Was it just too low of a chart success to be licensed for
any 80s CD compilations, or are there rights issues?]]> Fri, 12 Mar 2021 11:56:43 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4177&PID=57650&title=john-hunter-tragedy#57650 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4177&PID=49166&title=john-hunter-tragedy#49166 Author: JL328

I'd bet dollars to donuts there's an early vinyl pressing of "Famous at
Night" with the 4:13 version on it.]]> Sat, 07 Apr 2018 08:49:40 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4177&PID=49166&title=john-hunter-tragedy#49166 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4177&PID=48939&title=john-hunter-tragedy#48939 Author: EdisonLite

Yeah, ruthem - that's the one who cleans records from vinyl.

Nice to know he cleans them up so well. Have you bought anything else from this seller?

Sometimes I don't notice something's from vinyl when listening on speakers. Then when I hear it on headphones, it becomes very evident. You hear record noises more clearly. ]]> Wed, 07 Feb 2018 23:55:10 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4177&PID=48939&title=john-hunter-tragedy#48939 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4177&PID=48937&title=john-hunter-tragedy#48937 Author: mlyles

The seller is "ruthem." If this is from vinyl, it's the
cleanest I've ever heard. ]]> Wed, 07 Feb 2018 19:13:33 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4177&PID=48937&title=john-hunter-tragedy#48937
