RICK SPRINGFIELD - Missing Shots [unreleased]


Any AOR fan should know Rick Springfield's career.
His 80's albums like "TAO" or "Rock Of Life" remains amongst the classic stylized hi-tech / Rock&Pop / AOR stuff of that time.
Grammy award winner and top 40 hitmaker, the man is a prolific songwriter.
Many of his recordings are still shelved, some in demo mode, some practically finished.

I've compiled some time ago a bunch of these 'missing shots' (demos, unreleased, alt. takes, plus a rare b-side) all songs with very good sound.
Myself made artwork included.



01 - Monkey (Sahara Snow unreleased)

02 - The Language Of Love (Rock Of Life single B-side)

03 - Faithful (unreleased version)

04 - Desperate Lives (TV movie soundtrack / vinyl fan club only)

05 - Stand Up For Love (demo - unreleased track)

06 - Veronica's Head (demo version)

07 - In Her White Room (demo version)

08 - My Depression (demo version)

09 - This I Promise You For Life (rare duet with Maggie Brandon)

Nice post mate from the greatest pop rock artist of all time. I did a comp a few years ago with around 22 tracks. If you're missing any, let me know.

What a terrific post! Thank you so much. The man is just so talented. I LOVE the song "Faithful". I've heard the recorded one, but this is amazing! Kind of fun hearing the missing songs; hope they all appear on future Rick Springfield cds. His latest Venus in Overdrive was a great combo of pop, contemporary and rock. Thanks again - these are great.
