I think the Bowie re-
charting was
because of Young Americans doing so well on the charts
and Fame hitting #1 where in 1972 he was not a household
name yet (The Man Who Sold The World was a commercial
failure) because Hunky Dory got great reviews but it did
not sell as well and the success of Rise and Fall of
Ziggy Stardust, the next album, brought him the
recognition and superstar status.


The "Changes" single re-charted in December 1974, a few
months before the release of the Young Americans album.
I think it was more a case of RCA re-promoting it to
radio and it finally catching on.

As for "Sail On Sailor" it got another chance thanks to
the success of the Endless Summer album. In 1974-75 the
Beach Boys were suddenly "hot" again with both Capitol
and Brother/Reprise re-releasing old singles.


Plus "Sail on Sailor" was the lead track on a 1975 single disc
compilation called "Good Vibrations: Best Of The Beach Boys."
They were really milking the success of "Endless Summer" in
1974 & 1975. I would argue that this marketing forever branded
them as a nostalgia act.

December, 1963 (Oh, What a Night), The 4 Seasons
1976 - 27 weeks with 3 weeks at #1
1994 - 27 weeks peaked at #14

This particular remix took off and was played extensively in 1994 (and
is also known as the "dance mix") making it different than the 1976
single, which was slower.


If I recall correctly, this was the same remix issued in 1988, remixed by
Ben Liebrand, and runs at the same tempo (104 BPMish) but adds a lot
of extra percussion.

I’m not sure what catalyzed the rise in ‘94 but I do recall hearing the
remix on Open House Party, the syndicated radio show that commonly
played (plays?) remixes and mix segments. I heard the remix on OHP
before I’d heard it on the radio anywhere else, possibly as early as late
‘93, so some credit may go to OHP. Does this jibe with others’
memories?


Living in Boston, I can confirm that the Four Seasons remix was played on OHP,
and extensively at local dance clubs as early as Spring 1992! It may have even
been played by Kiss108 once in a while. This is why when it was released
nationally in mid 1994, it felt 'old' to me, and I never knew the real reason for
the mainstream re-release.
