ROBBY VALENTINE – Unreleased & Japan Bonus Tracks

Waiting for the really good new ROBBY VALENTINE 2018 album, in recent posts we have been featuring here his rare and hard to find singles and EP’s. Today we bring to you some Robby’s Japanese album edition bonus tracks plus lots of unreleased material taken from a private collection.

Valentine is a prolific musician, and many of his recordings still remain unreleased.
Among the material compiled here we have the 3 bonus tracks from the Japan edition of his album ‘The Most Beautiful Pain’, but also an outtake from these sessions, titled ‘Payback Time’.
The radio edit version of ‘Soldiers Of Light’ (from his 2018 new album) is a B-side of the 100 copies only CD single, slightly different from the album version.

While Valentine is releasing this 2018 another album (Bizarro World – The Piano Versions) including instrumental piano-solo recordings, the take of ‘Black Rain (exclusive Piano & Vocals) includes vocals as well, an unreleased and rare track.
Speaking of rare songs, we have one from his first album, ‘Broken Dreams (Different version), the stupendous ‘Go Your Own Way (Fleetwood Mac cover)’ on offer to the fans via his Facebook for limited time, and the mega rare ‘Thinking of You’, recorded with his friend Valensia from a project ‘V III (Nymphopsychoschoziphonic)’ that never materialized.

On the Japan only EP ‘Live & Demos’ already featured in a previous post, there’s 3 demo versions of Robby’s early songs. We have 3 more here.
‘Only Love (Demo)’ will appear for the first time this 2018 into ‘Pride & Heart – The Magic Infinity Demos’ (a limited edition CD), but ‘Broken Dreams (Demo)’ and ‘Forever And Ever (Demo)’ are unreleased.
There’s also a rare version of the hit ‘Over And Over Again (Acoustic Version)’, unreleased. All with very good audio quality.

You can hear Robby’s version of John Lennon classic ‘Imagine’, a single CDr made in a limited quantity of 150 copies as a special thank you to the fans and released at the concert in Cappelle a/d IJssel on 13 December 2014.
There’s a lovely song titled ‘A World Of You And Me’ (The Magic Infinity Japan bonus track), and Valentine jingles for Radio / TV station Veronica (quite AOR jingles by the way).
Also included is ‘Holland Nº1’ the World Cup ’98 Hymn for the football team recorded by Robby as part of the all-star Dutch musicians group called ‘OffSide’.
