My Top Music Of The Week 8/14

1.  Something To Tell You - HAIM **2 weeks #1**
(Columbia - 2017)

2.  Pollinator - Blondie
(Noble ID - 2017)

3.  The Love Songs - ABBA
(Pickwick - 1989) UK

This disc was the last of four in a series by Pickwick Music.  The three previous ones were The Hits, The Hits Vol. 2, and The Hits 3.  The last release was titled The Love Songs as there were only two singles yet to be included, So Long and Under Attack.

4.  The Very Best Of Eve Graham & The New Seekers
(Home compilation)

I put this disc together using 16 songs by the New Seekers with Eve Graham on lead vocals.  These include the singles Look What They've Done To My Song Ma, Beautiful People, The Nickel Song, The Greatest Song I Ever Heard, and I Wanna Go Back.  I tagged three duet singles with former New Seekers member (and Eve's husband), Kevin Finn, at the end.

5.  Box Set - Linda Ronstadt
(Elektra - 1999)

6.  Anthology - Dave & Sugar
(Renaissance - 1998)

This disc is made up of 23 singles and album tracks.  It includes their three #1 US Country hits The Door Is Always Open, Tear Time, and Golden Tears.

7.  Favorites - Juice Newton
(Home compilation)

I put this together on Spotify.  It's mainly inspired by both the original and expanded versions of Juice's Greatest Hits album on Capitol from 1984.  The only difference is the inclusion of three later RCA singles A Little Love, Can't Wait All Night, and Both To Each Other (Friends And Lovers), a country version of Carl Anderson and Gloria Loring's hit Juice recorded with Eddie Rabbitt.

8.  Gold - Olivia Newton-John
(Hip-O - 2005)

For my money, this 2-CD set is the piece de resistance of compilations by Olivia.  It has practically every single she ever released including two versions of I Honestly Love You (the original and 1998 remake).  One bonus track is thrown in, Fool Country.  It was recorded for Xanadu but previously only available at the B-side of Magic in 1980.

9.  The Very Best Of Frida 1967-1996
(Home compilation)

I put this disc together combining the ABBA singer's solo and group work.  This includes the original Swedish version of Fernando and an a capella version of Dancing Queen with The Real Group.

10.  Ta-Dah - Scissor Sisters
(Universal/Motown - 2006)

Today is member Ana Matronic's 43rd birthday so I played my two favorites from this disc, I Don't Feel Like Dancin' and Kiss You Off.  The former was co-written by Elton John who also played keyboards on it.
