Old vinyl singles

LostSoul · 22 Feb 2006, 12:43

I've just bought three second hand vinyl singles (You Took The Words, Dead Ringer and I'm Gonna Love Her For Both Of Us). I know there's that information somewhere but I can't find it (Yes R., I've tried the search engine!

). How many singles went out from Bat I and Dead Ringer?

Does anyone have all of them or even some? I guess so...

Paradise by the Dash Board Light in 2 different sleeves

Have to go and check if the Bsides are similar though.

Hi there. Here's a link (although not updated in years, I think '99 was the last update, it does have the most comprehensive discography of Meat's releases I have ever found on the net), where you should be able to find out all about all the different versions released over the years.

For quick reference the UK singles are:

Took The Words (7")
Two Out Of Three (7")
All Revved Up (7")
Bat (7" & 12" blood red vinyl)
I'm Gonna Love Her For Both Of Us (7")
Dead Ringer (7" & 7" pic disc)
Read 'Em & Weep (7" & 12")
Greatest Original Hits EP (7")

There have also been re-releases on CD, 7" & 12" by Epic and Old Gold.

For really cool pic sleeves and additional releases ... Paradise & Peel Out ... look for the Dutch, German, Spanish, Italian & Japanese pressings. My favourite is the Japanese 7" "66% Ain't Bad"/"You Took The Words Right Out Of My Mouse"!

LostSoul · 23 Feb 2006, 00:31

That 66% is killing me!

Does anyone have it?

Actually, I still have a lot to buy before calling it a collection.

Yeh, i saw that on graham nortan, aswell as the 'you took the words right out of my MOUSE'! i was wetting myself

The picture above is of my own copy and it's one of my very favourite Meaty items. I was lucky to get it back in the '80s. They were very hard to find back then and I've hardly ever seen another copy up for sale.

There are lots of great picture sleeve singles to collect. Have fun!

For crying out loud was the only song from BOOH not to get released as a single. Am I right?

I always wondered why it didn't get released, because after BOOH, it's the best song on the album.

**Diane** · 23 Feb 2006, 01:40

For Crying Out Loud was only released as a B-side. Paradise and Heaven Can Wait were also only released as B-sides in the UK.

Paradise was an A-side in Holland, Germany, Italy & Japan ... all with great different picture sleeves.

Paul191 · 23 Feb 2006, 01:41

every song on the album was released somewhere in the world apart from for crying out loud, i think (correct me if i'm wrong). But in the UK the singles he released are Bat, Words and Two.

Paul191 · 23 Feb 2006, 01:42

Can i please ask, what is a b-side? lol, cheers

Steve6 · 23 Feb 2006, 01:50

What about Bat 2. Life is lemon wasn't released. It just won't quit wasn't.Out of the frying pan, Everything louder,Good girls go to heaven and Lost boys weren't released. That was a lot on Bat 2. WHY WAS THAT?

**Diane** · 23 Feb 2006, 02:11

Thanks for making me feel so old Paul!

This is old vinyl speak. A b-side was side 2 of a vinyl record .... single or LP. The A-side of a single was the main track.

Paul191 · 23 Feb 2006, 02:29

Oh i see, lol. Thanks anyway. So in a way testify was released as a B-sde on the Man of Steel single.

**Diane** · 23 Feb 2006, 02:31

Agreed Jeanie eBay probably is the best bet.

Most songs on an album don't get released as singles. It is only a selected few. Thats why a lot of people only buy singles because are usually the best songs from the album. However this does does sometimes cause a minor uproar because you get some people disagreeing with cretain songs being released as singles.

Hope that helps.
