You
didn't think the songs that appear on Bette's albums are the only songs
she ever recorded, did you? I hope not, because you'll be in for a
big surprise if you did. Catalogued below are some of the many
recording sessions that took place during the making of Bette's early
albums. What you'll find listed in those sessions are many songs that never saw the light of
day. This list is far from being complete, but it definitely goes to
show how much was actually recorded, and how little of it
we've actually heard.
Want to help get these songs released? Write to Rhino
Records (who now own Bette's catalogue) and tell them that you
know about all these songs that are missing - link to this page if you
want - then request that this material finally be released, once and for
all! If enough of us show them that there is a
demand for these recordings - and no doubt there is - maybe they'll
finally open up the vault and
let them out. Spread the word and lets make a
difference. |

Please keep in
mind that this listing is not complete. The missing songs
from the "Songs for the New Depression" sessions were
not found in this catalogue - but click
here to learn more about those.. The three separate
shows recorded in Cleveland for "Live at Last" were
not found in this catalogue, only the final edited album was.
The studio session for "Bang You're Dead," which was
included in "Live at Last," was not found in this
catalogue. Plus everything after "Broken
Blossom" was not found in this catalogue. But if this
many songs are missing from these few albums, just imagine
what's missing from the rest. |
