The Essential Survivor

[bulldog]

I just noticed on Itunes They just released The Essential Survivor collection as an mp3 download . 35 tunes . 18 Bickler and 17 Jamison tunes . No new songs ! You would think there almost had to be some Jamison song tunes that were recorded back in the early 90's when they were still together.

I found a new version of Eye of The Tiger that is actually quite good and different from the original song by Jimi and recorded in 2014 on Itunes as well.

Maybe some unreleased stuff will turn up in the near future .

I hope that we will get to hear a lot of Jimi material that has never been released before!

I know...It angers me...I just got the Bryan Adams Reckless 30th Anniversary and how hard is it to put out five or six unreleased songs that we all know exist and maybe a live concert and the videos on DVD?

Oh well...The definition of insanity if following Survivor and expecting a different result...

I doubt there are very many early 90s JJ demos at all--maybe a few leftover 80s ones. Now, there are enough Bickler demos for a couple of albums, but I wouldn't expect many Jamison songs.

As an example, 'Missing Persons' (discussed in other topics here) should've been an extra track on "Premonition" re-release..

Yes. It's a travesty that Premonition only has 8 songs on it. That's probably one of the biggest reasons why Premonition is probably my least favorite of the 80's Survivor albums. If the album had two more songs like TYOAS and LIOMS it would rank much better on my list.

Curious as why Tidal is showing this as "HiFi" meaning full cd quality when its only available in mp3?
Or is there now a CD version? sorry if this was covered.

If "ISYIE" live in Japan 1985 was in it, I do think it will be one of the best moves ever. That Live version 9 mins and then some, is probably the greatest live rock song Ive ever heard. Jimi is perfect, Frankie's solo, well that is exemplary. There's NO ONE who has that tone nor style. Just blows me away EVERYTIME.
