This is looking to be a much needed release from Real Gone Records. It's posted on amazon to be released March 27 (the people at BSN also notified us of its release).

Hopefully they'll continue to get the correct single versions. The 45 version of "The Eyes of A New York Woman" is still MIA on cd, I believe. I think "Mighty Clouds of Joy" is, too.

I'm hoping Real Gone Records continues this series where Collector's Choice left off...I'm looking forward to the Mark Lindsey Singles set as well.

Only one of the three mixes of "Rock and Roll Lullabye" has been released on CD as far as I know. I believe the release history of this song is as follows:

First the long stereo single was released, radio got that as the stereo side of the promo 45, on the other side was a dedicated mono mix which was edited.

Then apparently the song was mixed again for stereo, and edited similar but not exactly the same as DJ mono side. Radio stations then got a new DJ 45 with the original mono mix/edit on one side and the new stereo mix/edit on the other.

Stock copies were then issued with the shorter, new mix, which also appeared on the album. As far as I know, only that final stereo mix has been issued on CD.

So I believe that still missing on CD is the original long stereo mix, and DJ mono mix.

This set is all mono except for the last six tracks. There is a chance they were able to track down the longer stereo single version of "Rock And Roll Lullaby." Track list is on the Real Gone Music site.

This is great news and I'm looking forward to getting this upcoming B.J. Thomas set! Up until now, the only disc where one could obtain a handful of B.J. Thomas' Top 40 singles in their original mono mixes was the Best of CD on Collectables, but the sound quality is less than spectacular on that disc.

I have the long version of Rock and Roll Lullaby 4:30 on a Scepter stereo 45, the problem is that the guitar in the beginning is buried. I hope they can locate the session tapes and remix it correctly.

If they remixed it correctly, that would not be true to the 45 mix then :-) I assume that most of the session masters are likely long gone anyway.
Live in stereo.

The song "Mama" on this new set does NOT have the background vocals that the same song has on the Rhino Greatest Hits CD (in the first minute you can hear them clearly on the Rhino disc). Every listing for this song is marked either 45 length or LP length, but if that is accurate then where are the background vocals on this new release?

Good catch Santi. After looking further at this, I discovered that the LP version is missing the background vocalists while the 45 version does include the background vocalists. So yes, the new "Complete Singles" cd does not feature the 45 version of "Mama".
