Hi guys,

After reading the other posts I went back and found the post where someone had put a copy of this album onto mediafire. Unfortunately it has gone from there.

Dopes anyone have a copy of this they can make available for download?

Thanks! Sandy Stewart has written so many of my favourite FM and Stevie songs (especially Seven Wonders and Too Far From Texas) that I cant wait to hear here solo stuff!

After she released Cat Dancer, she recorded a follow-up album with collaborator Dave Munday, but it was released under the group name "Blue Yonder."

Sandy Stewart and Niles Rodgers did a song on the White Nights soundtrack --"This is Your Day", which is a very catchy tune. I would post it here, but I'm not sure if it's still commercially available. :shrug:

Sandy Stewart and Niles Rodgers did a song on the White Nights soundtrack --"This is Your Day", which is a very catchy tune. How weird! Isn't that the soundtrack with a Marilyn Martin song on it? The gal whom Stevie introduced onstage in 1983 as "Miss Mallory Martin."

I would post it here, but I'm not sure if it's still commercially available. :shrug:Go ahead & post it! The worst the mods will do is boot ya off!!

Hi guys,

First of all, thanks for the quick response and posting the album up so quickly!

Something weird though... I downloaded it as a zip file no problem, and then opened it and there were all the mp3s. I listened to track 1 then had to go out and when I restarted computer later it had gone!

I downloaded it again and now my windows media player can't open the zip files from deadliestposion... and it doesn't recognise the RAR files from GoldDustOrphan's mediafire link. I'm confused. I had it and now I can't get the files to play!

Does anyone have the slightest clue what's going on? Can anyone help?!

Thanks again.

I'm posting this in its own thread because after I put it in the other one I realised it may not be seen...

Once you download the zip file and you see the RAR file – you have to right click the rar file and choose “extract here” … it will then give you the normal files you are probably used to. An RAR file condenses “normal” files and put them all in on package (if you wil) then when you choose “extract here” it will create the mp3 files for each song.

I may not have explained it the best but that is the gist of it.

Try this.

Re-download Cat Dancer (1984).rar from the mediafire link I supplied.

When you "Click Here to Start Download" if a dialog box pops up asking if you want to "Open" or "Save to location," check off "save to location" and choose a folder or destination where you want the file to live.

Some people don't get this dialog box because they have already directed their download manager, etc. to always "Save" and not "Open" files when downloading.

Every now and then my preferences fail and I don't notice that "Open" is selected in the dialog box (I have mine set for "Save"), the mp3 immediately starts playing on completion of download and then vanishes from my computer. Selecting "Open" can direct the file to your Temporary Files folder instead of actually saving it.

When the WinRar file has downloaded, unpack it with the WinRar application. A quick google search will locate a freeware version that will download & install in one minute or so. Just right click on the Cat Dancer WinRar file and select "Unpack Here" and it will take care of everything. You don't even need to launch the WinRar application or figure out its interface.

When the folder is unpacked you will have nine Mp3 files, all the tracks from the CD. I didn't include the cover art, but I"m going to scan & post. I forgot.

I actually have two vinyl copies of Cat Dancer, purchased 20 years apart at the same used record store (Nuggets, located in Boston's Kenmore Square). Six months ago, I picked up a still-shrink-wrapped copy for 50 cents because I felt bad for it. During the late '80s, I found a used copy for $1.99 my first time looking for it. Oddly, I don't care for the thing, except for the Stevie duet, "I Pretend" and the comic oddity that is the title track. How did anyone in that studio keep a straight face?

I posted a response in the original thread, but Travis is 100% correct in regard to unpacking, etc.

In regard to other download issues, take a look at my other post.

P.S. Travis, did you get Kylie tickets? I'm going to one of the three NY shows.

Yes, I'm going to the Sunday night show in NY, how about you? Can you believe that she is finally doing some shows here? :D

Dodfather

Thank you SO much for this. It was proving to be a nightmare and I'm desperate to hear this record!

I see you're going to see Kylie.. I'm a huge Kylie fan and since I'm in the UK I've been lucky enough to have seen her 3 times and been able to follow her career for the past 20 years. She's fantastic! You'll have a great time. I'm very intrigued as to what her US set will be though because her career was nothing over there between Locomation and Cant Get You Out Of My Head whereas we had 6 albums between them...

Travis

05-20-2009, 10:10 AM

Yes, it will be interesting to see what Kylie ends up doing for the US tour. I remember hearing “I Should Be So Lucky” at the end of the movie “Cookie” and really liking it. After the first album of course she basically vanished from the US scene. I do recall though in the early 90’s seeing some kind of MTV UK news snippet on Kylie regarding her new sexy image. I guess it was around the “Let’s Get To It” era. Then in the mid to late 90’s, my friend and I were in a record store in Baltimore, MD (one that used to carry many imports) and we saw the Kylie “Greatest Hits” LP. We looked at it and chuckled, GREATEST HITS? What greatest hits? Little did we know just how popular she was. Then I was re-introduced to her when I received an email from the Paula Abdul fan mailing list that she had co-written a song for Kylie, which was “Spinning Around.” Being a major Paula fan too, of course I was interested in hearing it. When I got the import CD single I loved the song. I then got the On A Night Like This CD single and loved that too. However I didn’t get “Light Years” until the summer of 2001. This was when I was in NY for Stevie’s show at Jones Beach (I also met Mariah Carey this day). I got home and couldn’t stop listening to Light Years. Then I was surprised to learn that “Fever” was soon coming out. LY was still so new to me.

Anyway, that’s my little Kylie story of how I got into her. :)

I'm listening to Cat Dancer now - thanks guys!!

For those Kylie fans who sadly missed out on her for years... check out Rhythm of Love from 1990 and Impossible Princess (also known as Kylie Minogue) from 1998.

Pop/Dance Kylie at her best for ROL (it's the album with Better The Devil on it) and then Kylie goes, apparently, indie (a silly label) for her best album in 1998...

If I knew how to upload files to mediafire I'd happily share any Kylie tracks you want (assuming of course that you don't have everything already)...

Travis

05-20-2009, 10:48 AM

Hey Dod,

Yes I am familiar now with Kylie's earlier albums and I think I have most of them. To be honest though, I can't really get into them as much as I can from Light Years on. The Greatest Hits 88-92 is a good enough CD for the casual Kylie fans that wants to hear the early years. I love "Got To Be Certain" and "Wouldn't Change A Thing", the latter being the first US single actually from the 2nd album. I like the KM 94 CD but as much as I hate to admit it, I simply could not get into Impossible Princess. The singles are fine but the CD as a whole, eh, just not my cup of Kylie tea. But that's cool that you love it, fans seems to be split on that CD. After Light Years my favorites are Body Language and X (tied I think). Fever is a great dance CD of course but I find myself listening and enjoying BL and X more.

I really struggle with X. I've just never been able to get into it as much as some of her other albums...

Apologies if this should all be in the chit-chat room, lol

Travis

05-20-2009, 01:20 PM

Looks like we were moved after all, but not in chit chat, just to your original post.

Now see, I love “X.” I think I read somewhere that Kylie says it’s a celebratory record, and I think it’s just that. It contains a lot of sounds that Kylie has experimented with since the start of her career in my opinion. You could say that “Wow” is reminiscent of early 90’s Kylie, “Sensitized” (which is my personal favorite) recalls the IP era (your favorite) ;-), a smidge of R&B with “All I See”, that could have fit into “Body Language.” I really enjoy the CD a lot.

I agree that All I See could fit into Body Language, it would be better than After Dark on that record anyway. I just don't really get it when Kylie attemots to do R&B.

I don't hear similarities between Sesitized and anything from the IP era at all. Yeah, Wow may recall early 90s Kylie but I wish it didn't because it makes you realise how great some of that stuff was. Do you know Word Is Out and What Kind of Fool (Heard All That Before)? I really don't know that you have been familiar with in the States at all but they're both amazing, especially the second one.

I don't mean to sound too harsh about X. I do like 2 Hearts, Sensitized and, of course, In My Arms!

JazmenFlowers

I love X! I really like Kylie's music. my favorites are Stars, Like A Drug, Magnetic Electric, Rippin' Up the Disco, All I See and Cherry Bomb.

I think "Sensitized" sounds like "Cowboy Style", which is from IP so that is why I made that reference. I like "Word Is Out" but I can't say I like "What Kind Of Fool ..." too much.

It's been a while since I played "X", think I'm gonna listen to that today on the way home. And Sandy Stewart :D

If you really like those then check out her other 9 albums...you won't be disappointed (well, maybe apart from some of Lets Get To It from 1991)...

Thanks to all who provided both the audio and the videos. I just don't like any of what I heard at all. Not even her duet with Stevie which made me want to quickly listen to Nightbird to hear a really great duet between those 2.

You haven't been talking to my wife have you? She thinks the Sandy Stewart albums are awful...(then again that is her opinion of SN too...)

Travis

Nothing on Blue Yonder does a thing for me however, I think Cat Dancer as a whole is pretty catchy.
