The original recording is from the Netherlands. Released
there on Polydor. 2050 633 the catalog number. Wish I
owned one of those. Own the USA Regency 45, the second
Atlantic/Atco distributed version. I think if this hadn't
changed distributors, might have been promoted better and
had a better chance of a hit .]]> Tue, 27 Sep 2022 06:26:43 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5926&PID=61910&title=diesel-sausalito-summernight#61910 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5926&PID=61716&title=diesel-sausalito-summernight#61716 Author: aaronk

It took me 20 years to find, but I managed to locate a CD in the Netherlands called Dutch Pop History Vol. II with "Sausalito Summernight." It's the LP version from tape with no evidence of noise reduction.]]> Sun, 04 Sep 2022 14:38:35 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5926&PID=61716&title=diesel-sausalito-summernight#61716 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5926&PID=28017&title=diesel-sausalito-summernight#28017 Author: Roscoe

There were a number of high profile releases from big acts within a 1-2 month window in the fall of 1981: Journey, Foreigner, Pat Benatar, Stevie Nicks, Rod Stewart, Hall & Oates, The Police. Radio and the labels were working the first singles from those albums very heavily. I wonder if that contributed to several great singles from one-off acts getting lost in the shuffle (Diesel, Balance, also "Don't Give It Up" from Robbie Patton and "My Girl (Gone Gone Gone)" from Chilliwack were memorable).

The charts were crowded with singles from name acts with few singles from new acts charting Top 10 during those months ("Harden My Heart" from Quarterflash is one of the few that comes to mind).]]> Sun, 03 Oct 2010 10:06:50 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5926&PID=28017&title=diesel-sausalito-summernight#28017 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5926&PID=28015&title=diesel-sausalito-summernight#28015 Author: Santi Paradoa

The Balance track is one that should have charted higher for sure. I love that one also. ]]> Sun, 03 Oct 2010 07:50:47 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5926&PID=28015&title=diesel-sausalito-summernight#28015 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5926&PID=28013&title=diesel-sausalito-summernight#28013 Author: aaronk

That's funny. I used to know most of the words to that song, and I
remember the promo single coming in to the station where I used to
work. I honestly didn't think you were putting these guys in the same list
as some of those other much more noteworthy Canadian bands. And
technically speaking, they are Americans (voiced by the creators of South
Park) portrayed as a Canadians.

Terrence and Phillip? I didn't realize there was a band by that name.

Yup - BIG fan of Canadian pop/rock. Good call!

Saga, Jane Child, Chilliwack, Prism, Barenaked Ladies, the Kings, Gino Vannelli, Cheri, Terrence and Phillip, Frozen Ghost, Iam Thomas, Kim Mitchell, Honeymoon Suite, the Extras, Kon Kan, Klaatu, Terry Jacks, Ray Conniff...

Don't know what it is about the pop stuff from up north, but it really hits the sweet spot for me.]]> Sat, 02 Oct 2010 08:54:08 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5926&PID=28008&title=diesel-sausalito-summernight#28008
