My purchase of the deleted single "So Damn Beautiful" arrived the other day. Obviously, the A-side is exactly what you expect if you own the album.
I just wanted to comment on the b-sdie and now unavailable through normal channels track "Too Much Too Soon." It's a song that does not deserve its cruel fate of being withdrawn from the market. The track would have fit in nicely on the Staying Power album, as it's performed in a style that's much like the rest of the album. Why it's not an album track is beyond my understanding.
The single So Damn Beautiful / Too Much Too Soon is, unfortunately, not out there to buy at your local record store. However, if you do a search for it on the UK Amazon website, you'll surely find copies at inflated prices. FWIW, there's a sticker on my CD jewel case that says something to the effect that you should not have to pay more than 2 pounds for the disc.
Trust me, I paid more than two pounds. But, I've got it now, thank goodness.
Finally, I believe that Too Much Too Soon is available as a bonus track on the Japanese pressing of the Staying Power CD. So if you can't find the single on Amazon, that's another place to seek the song out.
Cheers,
Scott |

So, what do you think of SDB? I personally feel it's a great song. |

Well, I was intending for this thread to be about the b-side.
But to answer your question, I'd say that So Damn Beautiful is one of the more commercial-sounding tracks on the album. And I mean that in a good way.
Let's put it this way -- if NSync or one of those boy bands could produce the exact same performance (maybe even hiring the Hollies to provide the musicianship ) that the Hollies gave, then the song would be a #1 hit. |

I wonder if Shayne Ward could do it justice? |

After thinking about it, I couldn't imagine anyone but Peter singing it. |
