Ferry import CDs with bonus tracks

The recent posting in the Roxy section about the Avalon SACD, with Always Unknowing as a bonus track, reminded me that at least a couple (as far as I recall) of BF's solo CDs were released in Japan with bonus tracks included.

Grateful if anyone could remind me of the relevant albums and bonus tracks. Thanks.

The Japanese release of Frantic had "I Forgot More Than You'll Ever Know" and Taxi had "Are You Lonesome Tonight". There is also a Mamouna E.P. that has B sides and covers, I got one from Japan on ebay, not cheap! :shock:

Thanks for the memory jogging, Roxy!

I guess it was the same version of Are You Lonesome Tonight which appeared on one version of the Girl Of My Best Friend CD single?

Am I right in thinking that the Frantic bonus track (I'll Forget More...; an appropriate title, given my original query! :roll:

) has yet to appear elsewhere?

Yes, the same version which is also on the Honeymoon in Vegas OST.

I don't think "I Forgot More Than You'll Ever Know" has appeared anywhere else to date. I have heard it and it's quite catchy in a "line dancing" sort of way.

Please forgive the bump...I've been on a fruitless search for the bonus song 'I Forgot More Than You'll Ever Know' for some time now (I can't even find the Japanese import of Frantic available online).

Does anyone have some tips as to where I can find this elusive track?
