Top Ten Non Album tracks!
« on: June 03, 2024, 07:29:19 AM »
So time for another Top Ten list then!

This time it's non album tracks.

Including single B-sides, Live only tracks, Japan Edition Bonus tracks and Single only tracks.


I'll kick things off with this one:



This was the B-side for the single Strange Kind Of Woman from Fireball.
Technically I could have chosen Strange Kind Of Woman as well since that did NOT appear on the European release of Fireball, but since it was included on the US release I think it still counts as an album track.

I'm Alone is a great little rocker with a great riff and a whole bunch of groove. First I heard this one was on the 25th Anniversary Edition of Fireball which I bought back in the late 90s. Loved it ever since!

Good thing you said the name, since WMG threw a red flag on that video. :redcard:

But, yes, that's a great rocker from the Fireball sessions. Those extended tracks are some of my favorites. So I'll add in Deep Purple's Freedom and make this almost a Fireball 25th Anniversary thread!  :smug:



I think it could be faster overall, but the screamfest at the end seals the deal for me quite nicely.

Oh another good one! I too have always hoped that Freedom could have been bit faster...it kind of plods along now with that mid tempo style.

I'll start with the song which made me suggest this topic in the first place...

Hawkwind - Moonglum



Moonglum was only ever performed live during the tour in support of the Chronicles of the Black Sword / Live Chronicles, the story of Michael Moorcock's Elric character (I really must read those books!). Nice, catchy rocking tune, teh video runs into the next track so cuts off abruptly.

I'll go with a live only track for my second pick as well then!


This one should be no surprise to anyone here...




This was a jam song Sabbath played part of Wicked World and later part of Sabbra Cadabra jams. No official title for it obviously but Sometimes I'm Happy seems to fit it alright.
It's a bluesy little jam with very little deeper substance but it flows nicely and it was a fun little "surprise" song back in the day I would imagine.
I'm assuming the lyrics were just adlibbed by Ozzy as they did evolve a bit over the years and they aren't really "Geezer like" if you know what I mean! :)

More Deep Purple from me!

"Dance to the Rock and Roll" - a staple of the Mk3 and Mk4 live performance jams, this one's in the studio with Tommy Bolin and it's just bonkers how great Bolin's guitar work is on this! The whole band's smokin' on it, one of my favorite jams.

My second pick is...

Marillion - Three Boats Down From The Candy



This was the B-Side to their first single Market Square Hero which was itself a non-album track. The 12" version had the 17-minute Grendel which I considered posting here instead but felt I would lose you all before the mid-point!! All three songs did make it to a "catch-up" album (B-Sides Themselves)

It's like Peter Gabriel doing post-punk rock. Nice. :)

The comparison with Genesis is not new, and Grendel was compared with Supper's Ready which gendered some shit for them.

Time for another B-side!



This one from the 1986 You Hurt my Soul single...that also was a non album single but the single itself isn't the top dog here, no sir, it's the suberb little rocker called EVIL!
The riffing and most importantly Doro's vocals here are just amazing. This one has so much drive and power it's crazy. Doro has played this live a few times in the past few years and it's been great as well.

That totally rocked!

Wanting to find a suitable follow-up, I went on a search for whatever happened to Honeymoon Disease... they broke up but their guitarist, Anna Acid, started a new band, Acid's Trip. FUN FACT: she's a welder for her day job!

Anyway, I found this and it totally works:



I give you "Trippin' Balls" by Acid's Trip. You're welcome! :)

Selection No. 3 for me and I'm not quite sure what name they went under for these songs...

Lemmy and The Damned - Over The Top / Ballroom Blitz



Recorded in sessions around 1978 when Lemmy was the bass player for the The Damned for a brief period. These songs have variously been credited to MotorDamned or the The Doomed. I believe Over The Top appeared on the B-Side of the Bomber single and made an appearance on the 40th anniversary edition of No Sleep Til Hammersmith

Great stuff!

Kilo - you for sure need to read the Elric books. I haven't picked one up in decades, but I recall being enthralled by them back in the day.

Unleashed on the world in 1991, uncle Henry teamed up with Australian punks The Hard-Ons:

These are great... I'm wondering if 10 will be enough...
