THANKS *

[tuneboy]

None of the missing volumes exist, but many of them are under preparation.
Will appear when finished.

Thanks tuneboy for all the effort you put in to create these awesome comps. Much appreciated. I always look forward to the new volumes.

Listening to Vol. 256 - Wave right now.

Keep up the good work!

Thanks for the Thunderbirds/Bonanza volume, tuneboy. I grew up with Thunderbirds and remember my parents buying me a copy of the Thunderbirds theme by Joe Loss on an HMV single which I still have. The original version by Barry Gray wasn't available commercially at that time so the Joe Loss version was all they had in the shop. I remember feeling a little disappointed that the arrangement wasn't the same as the one on the TV. The same was true of the theme from The Avengers  on the flip-side though I have come to enjoy listening to them over time.

I came close to including Barry Gray's original (from a CD reissue), but I actually find the Joe Loss version to be a bit better and tighter.
The intro is from the CD mentioned.

A double dose of Wonder:

Paul Mauriat's magic arrangement of "You Are The Sunshine Of My Life" made me realize how
brilliant that tune really is. Up until then it had only been a (sometimes) annoying earworm to me.
Then I started looking for other versions, and soon a new Ruling Tunes comp was born.

Sound Library vol 275
(Sittin' On) The Dock Of The Bay + Groovin'

(Ruling Tunes 15)

Sound Library vol 277
Raindrops Keep Fallin' On My Head + Wives And Lovers
(Ruling Tunes 17)
hxxps://mega.nz/folder/SKQG2bxJ#ingGbOFn4Kx8B1jokDcHlw

I do believe Otis Redding and his whistling on "Dock Of The Bay" is responsible for
me becoming a loud and compulsive whistler frequently annoying my surroundings.

"Wives And Lovers" has been called "the most sexist song ever".
But why bother with lyrics when we have instrumental music?
And Hal David wrote the lyrics, so I think we should look the other way
and let Bacharach escape scot-free.

"Raindrops Keep Fallin'..." was one of the first singles I regarded as mine
when I was a kid. (Another one was Roger Miller's "King Of The Road".)
I'm not sure, but I might have gotten it as a birthday present. It was a 7" in a picture sleeve,
sung by B.J. Thomas. It's still in my collection. I like it better as an instrumental, though.

Btw:
There is still one more comp in the Ruling Tunes series to come.
I have just ordered an LP from Sweden on Discogs, so I must wait until
that last track arrives before I can finish vol 276.

Thanks again , tuneboy 

[nidostar]

Thanks for the Raindrops, tuneboy. At a time when the doom and gloom merchants are telling us that July was the hottest one on record that song was certainly more appropriate for last month in this part of France! The Bacharach instrumental version of Wives And Lovers, which I have on a single, has always been a favourite of mine. As for Groovin' it's a perfect summer song. I recall when compiling a radio show a few years back that I stumbled on a French version of the song sung by The Young Rascals. It's probably the worst rendering of a song in French I've ever heard! It's on YT if you're interested.

"Raindrops Keep Fallin'..." was one of the first singles I regarded as mine
when I was a kid.

Same here. That reaches some deep nostalgia there, very deep.

[Lodbrokl]

Thank you,tuneboy !:)

Last Ruling Tunes (probably)

Two emotional ditties for a rainy Sunday up here in the northern parts
of the globe. It's been an interesting trip for me sniffing out those tunes and
putting these comps together.

(Several Ruling Tunes comps could not be completed, and will probably remain
uncompleted, due to a lack of good material.)

I have a vague idea of listening thru all of them and putting together
a 20 track "best of" to be called "One Comp To Rule Them All",
but right now I'm into collecting the best-sounding versions of
Beatles songs (originals). And that takes time. And that project doesn't belong here.

As they say, all good things come to an end. Thanks enormously for all of your Ruling Tunes releases. I have thoroughly enjoyed listening to them all.

[JimmyD]

Thanks once again tuneboy for another fine comp. I appreciate all the hard work (love) you put into this project. You have a very good ear for good music.

I like your idea of creating the "One Comp To Rule Them All" idea. Very clever title and a way to "complete" the Ruling Tunes series.

I can't wait for the Beatles comp. Really looking forward to that one.

Keep up the great work!! You're awesome!
