I brought up my initial question about George Harrison's "Bangla-Desh" because the database shows the song's lone CD appearance with a "45 version" comment. Therefore, I simply drew from this that an LP version exists somewhere and was trying to determine its origin. However, Paul is saying the hit studio version never appeared on an LP until The Best of George Harrison in 1976. So if that's the case, then the "45 version" comment for the lone database entry really isn't needed, is it? Or does Pat perhaps consider the "live" version on the Concert for Bangladesh LP to be an official LP version?]]> Thu, 20 Jun 2013 21:26:03 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1991&PID=38098&title=george-harrisonbangla-desh#38098 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1991&PID=38092&title=george-harrisonbangla-desh#38092 Author: jimct

Thanks, Paul. I would certainly agree that Pat, as a matter of normal
policy, both would not and should not include live versions of hits, since
98% of those versions were recorded years later. But, given the fact that
the "Bangla-Desh" 45 and the LP were both issued in 1971, I found Todd's
initial question in this case to be quite valid. Him thinking that the 1971
hit version of the song could very likely be included on a 1971 album that
the hitmaker was the "mastermind" behind, to me, is not a "reach." I only
remembered myself that Harrison had recorded a studio version of the
song days before the event because your post reminded me of that fact.
(Thanks, Paul!) The concert LP was the initial album appearance for the
track. Given the "exact same year of release" 45/LP situation here, I think
Pat clarifying, in this case, that the hit version isn't the LP version would
be of value to subscribers. But, as always, I will defer to Mr. Downey's
judgement...

Yes, a live version of "Bangla-Desh" is on that album. I wasn't aware that Pat was including all "non-hit live" versions in his database. If he is, then I gladly stand corrected!]]> Thu, 20 Jun 2013 11:02:40 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1991&PID=38091&title=george-harrisonbangla-desh#38091 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1991&PID=38090&title=george-harrisonbangla-desh#38090 Author: jimct

There's no hit singles on that album, so why would it be listed in the database?]]> Thu, 20 Jun 2013 10:43:40 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1991&PID=38089&title=george-harrisonbangla-desh#38089 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1991&PID=38088&title=george-harrisonbangla-desh#38088 Author: jimct

The single "Bangla-Desh" is a studio recording that was recorded a few days before the actual concert took place.
