If you have looked at any other part of this blog site, you know that I have a special place in my heart for disco. And Heatwave. I've posted a family pick of Rod Temperton, who wrote many of the Heatwave hits as well as all of the hits on his pick. I have also picked a comp of Heatwave Ballads which is pretty darn good. This pick is not the hits, well, some are. These are the B-Sides of singles, the extra tracks of Heatwave. A few are 12" versions or remixes of hits, but much of these are fairly rare tracks that didn't make it onto an album in any version. One of my favorites is Birthday. I like to play it when there is a birthday, of course, but it's just got some great vocal work on it that allows you to listen all year through. And, no, it is not the typical Happy Birthday song. But it's good, even though it is actually one of the few non-Rod Temperton tracks. One day I will post my Best Of Pick for this band, but for now, it'll have to b-sides.
