Sony-BMG digital singles

I have a contact at Sony and pitched him the idea of releasing several artist Playlist CDs (and other series like that one) that would contain single mixes and songs never released on CD. Unfortunately, Business Affairs isn't interested in ANY of this, even though my contact thinks I presented some great ideas. So then today I suggested releasing digital singles of single mixes that have never been released on CD anywhere. He thought that idea had lots of potential and will be forwarding it on to the powers that be. I'm giving him a list of suggestions but before I do, I thought I'd reach out to all you guys - if there are any Sony/BMG singles that have single mixes never released anywhere in the world on CD, and you'd like to see digital releases that come right off the master tapes, please indicate so here and I'll put together a list. If you have the following info, please include the catalog # and the tape # as listed on the 45. Also, please don't include singles that can just be edited from their album versions. I'm pitching him on the idea of single MIXES that have not come out. My list won't be limited to top 40 hits, but obviously a big artist with a non-top 40 hit would be more appealing than a lesser-known artist with a non-top 40 hit.

So the commercial 45 single versions of "Keeping The Faith," "Sometimes A Fantasy," and "Movin' Out(Anthony's Song)" might be what you're needing? Also, Loggins & Messina's "Thinking Of You."

Oh and also can someone please include the info for the 12" version of "Keeping the Faith", since that isn't on CD either?

Eddie Money - Two Tickets To Paradise

might be nice to see that see the digital light of day.

(and i was gonna mention "Sometimes A Fantasy" i see that's covered!)

Bruce Hornsby - Every Little Kiss

Jefferson Starship - No Way Out

John Denver - Sweet Surrender (i was just talkin' about this one with some friends...the 45 is neither the studio recording nor the live take, it is a special mix for the 45, using some elements of the live version, but remixed, with extra overdubs.)

aren't there a few Hall & Oates 45 mixes? Not sure....

Hmm. For Sony/BMG this could be quite a list.

Two Tickets To Paradise was released on the Playlist: Best Of Eddie Money CD, so that one is available. I think the Playlist series also knocked out the remaining Hall & Oates songs that were hard to find, too, at least in terms of special mixes. Every Little Kiss is a great suggestion!
