Hey pallies, when I was doin' the editin' of yester-Dino-day's post I was thinkin' that the titles of the Dino-amore-songs in the "new" upcomin' collection, "Dean Martin: Essential Love Songs," seems like some of the same tunes as in last year's "Dean Martin: Amore," CD. And, 'cause both al-b-ums are puttin' the accent on our great man singin' his greatest amore tune, I woulda not be surprised if a few of the Dino-selections woulda be the same.
But, this mornin' when I looked at the titles on "AMORE," I thoughts to myself, "these all seem likes the same songs as bein' released on "Essentials." Well pallies, soon as I got on the computer this mornin' I compared the 16 songs on "AMORE" to the 16 songs on "Essentials." And, guess what pallies....THEY ARE TOTALLY EXACTLY THE SAME SELECTIONS!
Now, the tunes are not in the same order on both al-b-ums...but they are exactly the same 16 Dino-numbers. How uncool is that! The folks at Capitol are goin' to get unsuspectin' Dino-philes likes us to buy the same exact Dino-al-b-um all over 'gain, except of course for the change in cover.
I was so thrilled last year when our Dino's "AMORE" hit number one of the Billboard Charts it's first week out and stay high on the charts for a while. I was fully expectin' "Essentials" to do the same....but thinks how many of us truly fully Dino-devoted Dino-enthusiasts woulda---gone off on January 26 and purchased this "new" Dino-collection without realizin' what we were really doin.
Well, I am so grateful to our Dino for nudgin' me to look closely at the "AMORE" al-b-um and then closely compare it with the list of Dino-selections on "Essentials."
I'm all for more and more of our Dino bein' released, but please, please don't rip off all us Dino-holics by simply puttin' a new cover on the same al-b-um that is only one year old. Dino-reportin', DMP
shame on them ! dean recorded hundrets of songs (nearly 1000?) and this all they think of ?
ReplyDeleteHey pallie, thanks for your stoppin' by and sharin' your thoughts...I do believe that our Dino recorded between 500 and 600 tunes in his career...still a huge quanity to be able to draw from...
ReplyDeleteNice catch pallie!
ReplyDeleteIt's a shame they don't put the time and effort to dust off the lesser known Dino-gems.
Eda
Hey pallie, thanks for the Dino-encouragement...and you are likes so right 'bout this Dino-matter...I can't believe that it is exactly the same al-b-um 'cept for the cover...likes how many truly devoted Dino-philes are goin' to take the bait and then find they already have the complilation....
ReplyDeleteThank you for doing your research, Mr. Peters. I might have been duped into buying what I already possess. It's certainly unpleasant to think a company would stoop to this level to get an extra dollar from us.
ReplyDeleteHi pallie DMP,
ReplyDeleteIf the guys at Capitol can't find another list of Dean Martin's songs to release, maybe we should send our own favourite list to them so that they know there are many many more great songs from Dean Martin.
Hey pallie, thanks so much Miss Gayle Carline for your appreciato...does try to dos my best by my Dino-devoted pallies to gets you all the Dino-truth all the Dino-time....certainly Dino-al-b-ums dos gets updates in their covers at some points, but this "issue" which is really a "re-issue" really makes no sense to this Dino-holic...
ReplyDeleteHey pallie, likes what great Dino-thoughts BC....maybe we all oughta takes you up on your suggestion...thanks for stoppin' by and droppin' your Dino-words...much Dino-appreciato to ya...
ReplyDeleteShame they are promoting Dean less then Frank... Have you seen the choices from his cd´s? There some old, but very famous and there are many old and not that well known once!
ReplyDeleteBut anyhoo, i agree with VAN T.ZIERMA!
Hey pallie, let's just say they can't be in their right Dino-minds...frankie more then our Dino...very sad indeed....
