"137 new songs"?

Post by marcolino »

The sticker on the book claims "137 new songs". Well, not quite so. If you sum up all the tracks, yes, the total is 137, but... Catfish Girl was already issued on "Stony Road" (only on the 2-CD's release, but I think it doesn't matter), Are You Ready was already on "Blue Street (Five Guitars)", some songs on Blue Guitars are repeated in different versions (such as Catwalk Woman, or My Baby Told Me), and What Became Of You from album seven has the same musical theme of What Became from "Hofner Blue Notes" album (which is instrumental only). As for me it doesn't matter if Chris has written 120, 130 or 140 new songs, he has already set up some kind of record with Blue Guitars (could be a candidate for the Guinness book?) so I don't think he needs this kind of somewhat deceptive advertisements...

You are right. I don´t think that there´s someone else who has done something like this. It must be a Guinness book record :) Few retakes and adding lyrics to instrumental song or other way around is acceptable :)
Too many good words to add here.
I better just sit back and drink beer. :)

Think Guinness Book of Records need to be told about this though. :)


Who else has released 137 Tracks in ONE issue. This must be a record. :wink:

Wouldn't be funny if Chris put "the best of" as 12th CD in latest release :D:D
