THE WIZARD OF OZ? Most of us grew up on the classic MGM
film starring Judy Garland as Dorothy Gale. We grew up singing along
with the songs such as "Somewhere Over The Rainbow," "If I Only Had A
Brain," "Ding-Dong The Wicked Witch is Dead," etc.
Did you know that when the film came out, there was no soundtrack to buy in stores?
In
1940, an album finally came out -- but it wasn't a soundtrack. It was
four 78 rpm discs where Judy sang but the other performers who sang in
the film were not on it -- the Ken Darby Singers were substituted. In
1956, MGM finally released a soundtrack (of sorts). It was forty
minutes long.
You know
what? If CRAPAPEDIA had its way, in 1956, that album wouldn't have been
noted when it was being released. We say that because (see Betty's "Wikipedia needs to expell the sexist editor MBurrell")
Carly Simon gave a live concert at Grand Station in New York back in
1995. The concert was shown on LIFETIME and, later, a DVD was
released.
Fans of Carly
(including Kat) have long complained that the concert was never released
on cassette, CD or vinyl. They think it is far superior to the HBO
concert Carly did in 1987, CARLY SIMON: COMING AROUND AGAIN. On VHS and
DVD this became LIVE FROM MARTHA'S VINEYARD. In 1988, a year later, it
was released on cassette, vinyl and CD as CARLY SIMON'S GREATEST HITS
LIVE.
This Friday, Carly's
Grand Central concert is finally coming out on audio formats. It is
entitled CARLY SIMON LIVE AT GRAND CENTRAL. But if you go to
WIKIPEDIA's list of albums being released this year, you won't find it.
Why?
Because a sexist idiot named Mburrell doesn't want it on the list and wrote "Removed
Carly Simon live album as a re-release of 1995 initial release. Lists
are for first release of original albums, not re-releases or deluxe
versions, or compilations."
Stupid idiot is saying what?
CARLY
SIMON LIVE AT GRAND CENTRAL is not a re-release. It's never been
released in music format before. It's also not a 'deluxe version' of a
previous album. Nor is it a compilation.
They
just make up whatever excuse they want to keep women out. That's
CRAPAPEDIA -- Ava and C.I. named it that nearly two decades ago and the
title still fits.
