ADONIS & BATSHEEBA (idea for album playlist)

Besides putting together playlists for DREAM FACTORY, CAMILLE and CRYSTAL BALL I wanted to also create one for a theortical album that could be compiled using tracks that are not part of any of those releases that could be mainly sourced from the remaining tracks from the SOTT Deluxe Edition. I called it ADONIS & BATSHEEBA (utilzing the 1993 cover that was never used). I also tried to match parts of the album with the orignial SOTT album. For example, track 1 is "Adonis And Batsheeba" which was recorded in July 1986, while "Sign O' The Times" was also recorded in July 1986. Then track 2 "Cosmic Day" was recorded in November of 1986 which is the same as "Play In The Sunshine" from the SOTT album. I used that model for a majority of this collection and it found it plays very well together in this order. There is a theme running through the collection as songs from a female perspective, written for a female artist or using the Camille voice or dealing with emotional and mature issues. I realize "Yo Mister" is not part of the box set but I found it works very well next to "Love And Sex" so it is the one oddity from this tracklist that is not available but I have YOUTUBE Music so I was able to upload it into my playlist easily.

Here is my idea for an album called ADONIS & BATSHEEBA:

1. Adonis & Batsheeba

2. Cosmic Day

3. Emotional Pump

4. Love & Sex

5. Yo Mister

6. Promise To Be True

7. When The Dawn Of The Morning Comes

8. It Be's Like That Sometimes

9. Eggplant

10. Cocoa Boys

11. Jealous Girl

12. Everybody Want What They Don't Got

13. I Need A Man

14. There's Something I Like About Being Your Fool

15. Witness 4 The Prosecution (Version 2)

16. Walkin' In Glory

17. Blanche

18. Wally

I modeled the last 3 songs over the last 3 on SOTT. Walkin' In Glory=The Cross, Blanche=It's Gonna Be A Beautiful Night, Wally=Adore. Similar feels or themes.

Thoughts?
