LYIN' IN MY ARMS - REX ALLEN JR

Rex Allen junior is an American country singer whose fortunes have been good but have not surpassed that of his father Rex Allen senior.

In 1975 Rex released a non-album single "Lyin' In My Arms" which did well in country NSW and other places in Oz.


I have not been able to find the original single on CD anywhere in the world. The only version I've heard has been a re-make which sounds inferior and doesn't come close to the original's production values.


Here for download is "Lyin' In My Arms":

MEGA-IDOL MIX - BILLY IDOL

In my old 12" vinyl collection I have a few original mega mixes that have not made it to CD.

Billy Idol's work is widely known but his "Mega-Idol Mix" only briefly made it to vinyl in a few parts of the world. It was the flip of the "White Wedding" 12".


A second attempt at a mega mix was made by DMC (Disco Mix Club) who commissioned Sanny X to release an alternate mega mix but it too has not been on CD.


For download is a Tom Mix CD version of the original
"Mega-Idol Mix". It is an almost exact match of the vinyl 12" original.
