Does anyone know if 'I Don't Want To Go On' from the upcoming hits album is the same as ' I Don't Want To' from the Alphaville outtakes?

-Dunno. It`s a non-event all the same. I`ve never heard the Alphaville outtakes.

I`ve said it before and I say it again; "A Fool For Love" - what a better song it would`ve been with a stronger voice... It could`ve been the key song of the whole Frantic album. It coul`ve been a great, great song in Bryan`s career, an anthem!!!

It is indeed the same song.

I can't recall what The Drifters version sounds like but we have a couple of other versions on CD by Van Morrison and Nazareth here at home. I really like Bryan's version and I am really pleased his piano & voice version of A Fool for Love from The Porter is getting a CD release, it's a simple but stunning track.

Yeah i love BF's version of this track, I also have it by Nazareth equally very good, and its good to know it will get some recognition....There are a few hidden treasures on Alphaville, Whatever Whenever & Horoscope....just wish they would do something with them officially 8-)

Interesting selection. Personally I would have included 'She's Leaving Home' - but I know we all have our personal favourites.

I have the Drifters version (the Moody Blues covered it as well,during Denny Laine's time I think) I don't know if it's one of their more well known songs but Ferrys is a good version, he must have had a Drifters kick at the time of Alphaville as one way love was one of theirs as well. I presume it's the Alphaville guitar version and not the Whatever, Whenever version. The Alphaville version of fool for love would have been a good version to put on the best of as I think it superior to the Frantic version. Interesting how it gets from the Alphaville treatment to the piano onlyversion

Thanks J.O.B. and everyone. It's the Alphaville version. Sweet melody and strings, and Bryan's vocal from that session is exquisite.

His best cover ever, imho. The strings section seems euphoric to me.

Close to it, along with Hard Rain. I think that Sir George Martin arranged She's Leaving Home. The strings are magic, and Kate Bush once said Bry's version is one of her all-time fave tracks.
