I saw there are only 18 1970s top 40 songs & 12 1980s top 40 songs not on US CD, according to the database. I thought I'd list the songs I know of that are either on import CD, or digital download - from tape sources.

70s:
ANDY KIM      1970      BE MY BABY
ANDY KIM      1974      FIRE, BABY I'M ON FIRE
-both on the Andy Kim CD "Baby, I Love You - Greatest Hits" (EMI/Germany)
("Fire, Baby..." is not the single edit, but album length)

FANNY      1975      BUTTER BOY
- LP version on the CD "Rock and Roll Survivors" (Cherry Red/UK)

MARSHALL HAIN      1979      DANCING IN THE CITY
-on the V.A. comp "100 Hits Super 70s" (Demon/UK)

WEDNESDAY      1974      LAST KISS
-on the Wednesday CD "Last Kiss" (Unidisc/Canada)

WILTON PLACE STREET BAND      1977      DISCO LUCY (I LOVE LUCY THEME)
-12" Version on the V.A. comp "D.J. Disco Mix Vol. 2" (Beast/US) where all tracks are segued together

80s:
BARRY MANILOW      1982      OH JULIE
-on the Manilow CD "Here Comes the Night" (Arista/Japan)

CLIFF RICHARD      1981      GIVE A LITTLE BIT MORE
-on the Cliff Richard CD "I'm No Hero" (EMI/UK)

GREG GUIDRY      1982      GOIN' DOWN
-on the V.A. comp "The Very Best Of AOR" (Kat Family/Japan)
-it's also on the Greg Guidry CD "Over the Line" (Sony/Japan) (which I don't have)

JIM PHOTOGLO      1981      FOOL IN LOVE WITH YOU
-on the Jim Photoglo CD "Fool in Love With You" (Vivid Sound/Universal/Japan)

JIMMY RUFFIN      1980      HOLD ON TO MY LOVE
-on the V.A. comp "25 Years of Rock 'n' Roll 1980" (Connoisseur/UK). Note: there's another version with the same title, label and UPC Code that doesn't have this song
-dj edit on "Ocean Drive 4" (Ripete/US)

ROBBIE PATTON      1981      DON'T GIVE IT UP
-on the digital release "Lost Hits of the 80's (Vol. 2)"

If anyone wants to fill in the other '70s & 80s songs not on US CD, please feel free to share the info, and I'll add it to this list.

UPDATE(S) FROM OTHER MEMBERS:

SONNY CHARLES   1983 "Put it in a magazine"
- V.A. comp "80s Soul Classics #8" (PTG/European)
(potentially LP version.)

Hi! I could add Sonny Charles "Put it in a magazine" in a european compilation released in December on the PTG label from 1983 (#40 in BB). Compilation is 80s Soul classics #8 (PTG 34262). At 3:59 it guess it is the LP version.

On the other hand Robbie Patton "Distant Shores" album which includes Don't give it up was released in 2000 by French label Magic Records.

"Don't give it up" sounds a lot better in a 6 cd compilation (in 3 double cds) from the Philippines: Best 100 Music from the Eighties. Official release from EMI Philippines released in 2007.

In 2000, I had bought (and then sold) that "Distant Shores" CD from France, as it was from cleaned vinyl, where the removal of vinyl also removed much of the music and sounded awful. I'm not even sure if it was a gray-area bootleg, though I recalled it included "EMI". That's why I didn't include it.

Though I don't need a great sounding "Don't Give It Up" now, I'd be curious about getting the Philippine CDs you mentioned, but I couldn't find them in Discogs, from that title. Can you give me more info so I can hopefully find it?

Added the other entry to my original post.
