Joey and Daniel recorded enough strong material during those sessions for a second Joey solo album, but legal bullshit has so far prevented anything from happening with it. Having heard the additional material, I can tell you it's all top shelf stuff. Hopefully, one day, it will be released.

I'm not sure if I'm subsequently annoyed with Ronnie for messing up what-coulda-been, or thankful to her for leaving the song to Joey - because his version comes close to cutting the Darlene Love original IMO. <br /><br />I'll be listening closely at that 2:46 mark later this aft!Roy Pearlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17993166947441993289noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-201477845557147101.post-15839075129139189452009-12-09T10:05:26.506-08:002009-12-09T10:05:26.506-08:00Funny story behind Joey Ramone's excellent ver...Funny story behind Joey Ramone's excellent version of 'Christmas [Baby, Please Come Home]'... Joey and [producer] Daniel Rey had intended it to be a duet with Ronnie Spector, and actually set about recording it as such. Mid-way through the session, however, Ronnie finally realised that it was Darlene Love who'd sang the original, not herself, and immediately slammed the brakes on her involvement. If you pay attention right around the 2:46 mark, you can hear where Daniel successfully snuck a wee bit of Ronnie's vocal into the final mix, using her trademark 'whoa-o-o' backing vocal track.Markhttp://www.myspace.com/sourjazznoreply@blogger.com
