What am I missing from Discography?

[cliffcake]

At the end of 1991 I emigrated to the USA and returned in 2002. I was completely unaware of the Franks until 2005 when I went along to the Savoy gig with a friend of mine - what a gig that was! So, I basically missed out on them while I was away but since returning, I have tried to get every track they ever released ... being of a rather compulsive nature ... so can anyone tell me if there are still Franks tracks that I have not heard from the following collection? ...

1. Trains boats and planes
2. Grand Parade
3. Beauty Becomes More than Life Itself
4. Glass
5. Souvenirs (Discs 1 to 3)
6. Best of Album + DVD
7. A renewed interest in happiness
8. Miles and Miles single
9. Fight single

I see that there are numerous single releases that appear to now be on the Souvenirs discs. But I am not sure about that.

loads of the ep's. I bought them all in the 90's. Check ebay, they're always on there if you want them. I got a disc labeled Set 009 CD, its a compliation of fashion crisis and walters trip

[cliffcake]

Thanks, H. I think I will go ahead and try to collect the singles anyway.

Almost all of the songs on the singles seem to be on the Souvenirs discs though and I was just curious to know if any of them are missing.

Do you know if it's possible to get all of the singles in CD format, or will I need to get some on vinyl?

[hebburncurly]

You can get them on cd mate, if you hunt them out, mine are all cd's

[ash]

rock n roll, b side on underground 7inch is the only one i can think of.....ash

[cliffcake]

Does anyone know if it is possible to get a copy of the Black Sessions which is listed on the ultimate discography link? This seems to have been a live recording in Paris in 1992.

[humphrey]

think i have that,dont think its an official release though,is that the gig at La Cigale 92?

[humphrey]

there's 13 songs on my version (only 7 on the ultimate discog version) and its like a recording off the radio,one can hear the dj talking over some of the songs.......

[Frankie]

There are some rare "Un-official" promo CDs around that I'd say you'd only get in the second hand shops in IRE.

Robbie - where did you get the "How can I exist” single? I’d heard stories about that release but I thought it was a myth, just like Fionn MacCool or something.

[cliffcake]

Frankie, your post is very timely because I am trying to locate 'How Can I exist' promo and 'Four Songs' promo put out on Elefant (Spanish Label).

What's Fionn MacCool by the way?

[cliffcake]

Just to clarify the last point - did you mean there's an unofficial release titled Fionn MacCool, or were you just being metaphorical - sorry to be so dim

[cliffcake]

Frankie, I just didn't read you message carefully enough and I can see I was being dim :p

Anyway, any info or help on where to locate Franks singles is much appreciated - Robbie?

[Robbie Williams]

Hey cliffcake

I found most of my missing back catalogue from searching on ebay (including ebay shops - seperate search), Amazon, and putting the title and/or reference numbers into Google and seeing what came up. I ended up getting a few items shipped from the States/Germany as they seem to have more stocks than shops in the UK/Ireland and also it was cheaper - even with the shipping costs.

Hope that helps....

If you search other ebay shops you can find loads of old stuff...

Think this is my 100th post on here!!

[cliffcake]

Hey Robbie -

Congratulations on your 100th post!

Thanks for those links, I'm sure they will be useful.

seems like trustworthy place anytime I've used it

[Frankie]

Robbie - I don't believe that you have the "How Can I Exist" single because I don't believe it was ever pressed. Can you post an image of the cover?:)

[Robbie Williams]

Its a promo CD with How can I exist, Fast Anthony and Last Train Home.

CD is as per image on discography below:

I do have it - honest!

[Jish]

I've got it too. Bought it in a record fair in Middlesbrough Town Hall years ago.

I also have a cd single of Fashion Crisis Hits New York which has the following tracklisting...

1) Fashion Crisis
2) After All (Acoustic)
3) Happy Busman
4) Franks Right

The version of After All is from a Dutch Radio session. It is gorgeous as well. I never knew this existed. Anyone else have this?
