Best NMA Song Not On A Proper Album
« on: April 07, 2015, 11:25:05 PM »
What do Beatle classics like "Hey Jude," "Day Tripper," "I Want To Hold Your Hand," "We Can Work It Out," "Strawberry Fields Forever, " "Penny Lane" all have in common? None of them are on any Beatle album. Singles, EP tracks, B-side...none of those iconic songs were actually on a Beatles album.

Well, what are the best non-album New Model Army tracks? Name the three best NMA songs that aren't even on a proper studio album.

"I Wish"
"Ten Commandments"
"Space" (live from "Raw Melody Men")

Yeah 'Ten commandments' is one of my favorites, brilliant song.

I'll go with 'Nothing touches' - always loved it.

and...

'Southwest' hearing this B-side of 'Wonderful way to go' got me back into the band after most of the 90's listening to Electronica.

A) "Yellow Submarine" is not a proper album. The band didn't go into the studio to record that album. It was basically a compilation of various songs compiled to make a soundtrack for the film.

B) And just to clarify, "Strawberry Fields" and "Penny Lane" are not even on the soundtrack to YELLOW SUBMARINE. Those two songs are on the soundtrack to MAGICAL MYSTERY tour -- another collection of songs compiled to make a soundtrack.

Not NMA proper, but how 'Sooner or Later' never made it onto an album is beyond me.  'Higher Wall' is NMA proper, and a damn fine tune it is.

In my 100 or so NMA gigs, never played live before my eyes... until the Nottingham 30th shows!  Only made it to one of those dates...  and, yes, it was played on the date I didn't make it to...  :-\

Oh well, perhaps the 40th, eh?

OK, yes I know it's a JSAF track, but I can't believe I forgot 'Stoned, Fired And Full Of Grace'...
