“Damn Dog” 12-inch single
FacebookTwitterTumblrRedditPinterestGoogleEmail You too might have had perhaps Robin’s only solo release, if you were a DJ… in 1981… in Belgium. The mind boggles at the series of meetings that must have occurred to result in the decision that this was a good idea. A 12-inch single of “Damn Dog”… but not a remix or extended…

Música Original de la Película TIMES SQUARE (soundtrack album, Mexican edition, 1981)
FacebookTwitterTumblrRedditPinterestGoogleEmailThis is the last version of the soundtrack album I have, and the one in the worst condition. I’ve seen one or two other copies and they were as beat up as this one is. They might have had their spines intact, where this one’s is completely worn away (which is why I have no…

SONIDO – la revista musical, No. 56, June 1981
FacebookTwitterTumblrRedditPinterestGoogleEmail The June 1981 issue of the Mexican pop music magazine Sonido contained on pages 38 and 39 an article credited to “Vicco,” but which seems to be exactly the same kind of AFD/RSO-written publicity published in English in similar magazines a year before. The article calls the film Times Square.…

Record World, Vol. 37 No. 1729, September 13, 1980
FacebookTwitterTumblrRedditPinterestGoogleEmail Most of the “new” items that turn up now are variations of things we’ve already seen. This Times Square soundtrack ad is identical to the ones shown here, but unlike those two it’s still attached to the magazine it was published in. It’s page 126,…

I Wanna Be Sedated
FacebookTwitterTumblrRedditPinterestGoogleEmailI made another exception to my vow not to collect any more soundtrack-related items, because this one has a picture of Robin on it. It’s the UK version of the Ramones’ “I Wanna Be Sedated” single as released by RSO as a Times Square soundtrack tie-in. I might have bought it anyway, just for the…

Bande Originale du Film Times Square (soundtrack album, French edition)
FacebookTwitterTumblrRedditPinterestGoogleEmailI made another exception to my decision not to collect any more copies of the soundtrack when I saw the bright red labels on this French edition. Sadly we don’t get all the text in French as well. It’s pretty much identical to the Canadian version, with the blank red spot in place of Nicky’s…

TIMES SQUARE IS MUSIC OF THE STREETS
FacebookTwitterTumblrRedditPinterestGoogleEmail WHAT: A yellow-orange, red, and black sticker, 2¼ inches in diameter, with text reading “Times Square is music of the streets.” WHERE: Australia. The tag line on the Australian posters was “Times Square is the music of the streets.” The sticker omits the first “the.” Also, where the phrase is in a graffiti-like…

FacebookTwitterTumblrRedditPinterestGoogleEmail “There’s a hot new talent, Robin Johnson in Robert Stigwood’s Times Square…” Times Square was still in theaters in London when the February Movie 81 came out in Australia and editor John Fraser made the above announcement. The two-page spread later in the issue is comprised of “An Appraisal by Terry O’Brien,”…

Musica Original de la Pelicula “Times Square”
FacebookTwitterTumblrRedditPinterestGoogleEmailI should have posted this along with the other versions of the soundtrack album I have, but I somehow had it in my head that it was released in 1981. It wasn’t; all the international editions of the soundtrack were released in 1980, with only one exception I know of, and this isn’t it. This…
