Here's some 'off -the-wall' tunes for you. I never thought I'd be
posting material by Mariah Carey, but as I've stated before, if it's good
enough it doesn't matter who it's by. Forget who it is and listen to the
groove.
Mariah Carey [1998] - The Roof (Back In Time) (Full Crew Radio Edit / No Rap) [Columbia #665521 6]
A good 90s stepper. Failed to make any impact on the charts, peaking at
#87 in UK and wasn't released as a single in US.
Watch out for other version as most have Mobb Deep rapping in the
middle.
Mariah Carey [1995] - Underneath The Stars [Columbia #CAS 8945]
Non- charting single (anywhere) from 'Daydream'.
Mariah Carey [2020] - The Rarities [Columbia #19439814021]
On 11 Dec 2020 a 4 LP set (also released on CD/Digital on 2 Oct 2020) was
released containing 15 previously unissued tracks, demos and B sides and 17
tracks recorded live on 7 Mar 1996 at the Tokyo Dome. It was released to
celebrate the 30th anniversary of the release of her eponymous debut album
in 1990.
The vinyl release was limited edition which sold out very quickly and are
now selling on Discogs for silly money, averaging £150 - there is one seller
demanding £400 for it!
Here's a few decent tracks from the album.
All I Live For
This is a 90s swing/stepper which was a 'reject' from the Music Box album.
Slipping Away
Released as B side to 'Always Be My Baby', and another swing style stepper.
Mesmerized
A track that was intended to appear in the 2012 crime movie 'The
Paperboy', but didn't make the cut. A decent neo/modern soul dancer.
Just Be Good To Me
Cover of S.O.S. Band's hit recorded Live At The Tokyo Dome
