I was doing some reminiscing on some songs and albums I had bought over time, songs that hat hit me , then been re imagined with a choir or orchestra ..and taken to a whole new level..

Very often when I heard the "grander versions" for the first time back theme the song was driven deep into my psyche.

I would love to hear from you all, so I may discover some new pieces I may have missed..I will throw a few up here as a start..

So share with us all some of the brilliant "fully produced"

My first entry will be the Scorpions - I was dating a German girl in little old Adelaide as the wall was coming down..

second is one of the tunes from the "Enzso" project a double live album I bought as a teen, the re-imagined Split Enz project..every song I loved, but these are a couple of one was my faves..Stuff n Nonsense is one of the all time greats never heard..

No tony I wont be posting Johnny Farnhams tune..but you may if you like

Here is a great Elton classic with the Aussie orchestra..nice guitar work too..

The first song I asked Neil to teach me

Of course...This for Neil as much as me..

I remember in a Mcartney Bio I read, he said that he imagined himself at 60 (written when he had just 50) writing Orchestral pieces ...he was doing it much earlier than that..

How about a bit of Jethro Tull and the LSO

More JT & LSO

THis is U2 and this song was off some funky album they did can't remember the name but this song was a standout..funny this time the war in Europe was for me a troubling time, and it seems so forgotten now..But what a combo...Shivers up my spine when he sings..

Paint It Black LSO, I love this arrangement

Wow Chas..thats what Im talking about that Paint it Black version is sublime..what else ya got
