Not sure if this is the right thread but can anyone point me in the right direction of where to buy or download Jesus in a Camper Van?
I had the album "I've Been Expecting You" with it on which got nicked at a party - so off I went to my trusted HMV - bought a 2nd copy of the album and they replaced the song with "Its only us".
So off to another store....same. Online stores...same - apparently the album was re-issued in 2002 and JIACV was taken off it (which my ma loves!)
love you to death if anyone can find it x

pm'd you ;)

thanks guys, appreciate it x

PM'd you, i have a copy.

i have just read on another forum while voting for pure robbie about an album called Love songs from the year 2003. i have never heard of this album before. is it available to buy? if it is i would love to know where i can get it from. can anyone help me coz your such a knowledgeable lot. please.:) .

i have never heARd of it.

me neither, it will more than likely be an unofficial thing, where they just put lots of his songs together on a CD

i saw it on SortMusic.com, the best ( and worst ) songs of RW and the album had quite alot of votes so it must be pretty well known. i wonder if it wasn't for release in the U.K?

I've never heard of it either... if you find out any more outside of the forums, do share :)

Never heard of it either. Some unofficial compilation thing, must be.

Not sure if this is what your talking about but i have seen on ebay Love songs and it has a Robbie song on it, I don't remember which song it was - It was a cd from various artists.

Ok..the love songs is nothing more then a compilattion CD.
Here is the backcover (sorry I dont have the front yet), so u can make ur own Lovealbum ;)

http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b284/robbiesvlinder/Robbie%20diversen/lovesongs.jpg

oh thanks for that butterfly, it has been really bugging me. do you no where i can buy it? i would really like all his love songs on 1 cd!

Does anyone know why Something Beautiful isnt on the greatest hits?? I love this song soooooooooo much and was quite dissapointed when i realised it wasnt on there.

Something Beautiful is on the album Escapology if that's any help to you. :)

oh yeah i know. Thanx hun. Just curious as to why it was left off the greatest hits album. I love it!

I saw the video a lot of times on tv, but he never sing it live during the tour in 2003 and I remember I was really surprised about it as it was about to be out as a single. I don't know, maybe its success wasn't big enough to put it on the Greatest Hits?

*Yeah i suppose it's just because it wasn't great enough a hit to make the top 12 :D

Rob has made albums in different style: pop, swing and now dance.. What do you think he's next album should be?

deffo love songs, but i suppose he needs to fall in love first.lol.xxx

Christmas cd or another swing.

Hmmm interesting question.I don't know.I do hope at some stage he does another swing album but it doesn't have to be the next one lol :)

would love another swing

Christmas cd or another swing.
christmas cd would be good

I think he sings swing's songs the best!

Yeah swing is good. I'd agree with that.

Yeah MORE SWING!!!! :D

I want a happy lovesong. a good happy ballade, like "you're the why" from the besides, which is unfortiunatly only a cover...

deffo love songs, but i suppose he needs to fall in love first.lol.xxx
Agree

I dunno really, not really into his "swing" album. Love his pop albums and agree, a love album once he falls in love!. Might wait and see what his next dance album sounds like first. But another album like Intensive Care would do me.

Oh, the best would be BLACK METAL:D
from cradle to mandalay....:D

How's about a very cheesy 80's pop album - a remake of Especially for You with Kylie could be the first single, followed by Chesney Hawkes' I Am The One & Only :pmsl:

I would love an accoustic album , nice mellow sounds and Rob's amazing voice. Heaven!

swing album was gd but i dont think he should do it agen....i think robbie is really gd at rocky songs like monsoon and cursed so i wud say like a tribute to queen or summit like that

I would love to hear another swing album, but other than that i would like him to do another escapology or intensive care great albums, woul love to hear more of that sort of stuff

I like that song too!! It was the first song I liked of the Escapology album. but what I don't understand is..what's it about?? Can anyone tell me?

I think he doesn't like the song that much. He doesn't want to perform it live.That's what I understood from "Feel"(the book).I don't know.

Didn't he once say that he would never sing a song live that had the word ''something'' in it :confused: Then again Robbie says a lot of things, as do the press :D

I think he doesn't like the song that much. He doesn't want to perform it live.That's what I understood from "Feel"(the book).I don't know.Yes, I got that impression from the book too.

I have a question, is Millennium and No Regrets released on DVD?

just looked on Amazon and it doesn't look like they were released as dvd's.

Aren't they? I am looking for those two videos and i think.... Do you
guys have No Regrets video and Millennium video?

If they aren't released on dvd, can someone upload the two videos.

I am afraid not - they are still classed as official so we cannot post them on the forum.

Oh, shit. But thanks.

I'm currently reading Feel (for the second time) and the other day while I was reading it, I came across some unreleased songs. The book really teases you by putting the lyrics in:re: , it really makes you wonder how the songs go!:mad:

The first song Rob talks about is Snowblind..
from the lyrics it sounds absoutly beauitful!!

''While the world was looking at you, you came and wrapped yourself around me''.

If she exists

''I know it will come in your time lord and I don't like to ask but I'm lonely now, I don't want to make demands, but time and tide is in your hands, I never ment to ask for this, but god send her now, if she exists

My favourtie american

Use my empty head, it's adveristing space

Just thought I'd mention the songs as I doubt I'm the only one that curious about them.:search: (I was trting to find a curious smiley, this was the cloest;))

Hi everyone,

Didn't quite know where to put this but I was just wondering if anyone has the boxset of the singles? I'm thinking of getting it as most of my singles have gone walkabout, but would like to know what it's like. Are the singles in their own cases or just sleeves, and what about if there was more than one CD released for a single, does the box only have one?

Sorry about all the questions! :thx:

Sashie xXx

I just bought one off of ebay. If no one has answered you by the time I get it, I will let you know what it's like :)

Thank you! It'll probably be a christmas pressie for me, so still got a while to go!

Robbie's album "best ever"

Source where i've read:

http://robbiewilliamscentral.hu/viewtopic.php?t=439&app_f=439

"best thing he's ever done. " - oh yess:pmsl:

Popjustice, Uncut and Qx all say it's by far his best

"in order to the 'close encouters' concert in Rio, Robbie's record company has advanced the release of his anthology CD - THE BEST SO FAR. "

I saw this note on a website today! The cd is already been sold. ( http://www.videolar.com/ProdutoCD.asp?ProductID=113140&cod_sub_media=3135&WT.srch=1 )

is it new??? I thought it was going to be a DVD!!! :confused:

OMG! What's this?! I can't understand a word of what's written about it on the site!! :)

??????? This is like the greatest hits with a couple of different tracks ??

It's in portuguese! But it seems that a record company called Som Livre( and as I know it's not the Robbie's record company) is realising this cd. with all that songs.
But I don't know I think this is not official. Well I think the dvd has nothing to do with this. But we'll wait to see if this is really official or not.

Sorry everybody ... As I thought it was new I didn't bothered translating ! Just wanted to show the cd's cover!

hope someone knows it for sure and can help.
thanx in advance!

hugssssssss

2002 I think just before Escapology was released?

2nd October 2002.

http://i8.photobucket.com/albums/a26/lisachurchman/_38292059_rich300.jpg

thank you so much. it clearly means Rudebox1974 is his 4th and last album with EMI...

There is a news article somewhere on here about Rob not wanting to renew his EMI contract, so that makes sense Monsoon. :)

http://www.purerobbie.com/showthread.php?t=5016

This is the thread.

I asked the same question in that thread....I think he still has more to do for EMI....

How much more of his contract does Rob still have left to deliver?

He signed the contract in October 2002 which was for 4 albums.

The £80m deal was £10m up front, £15m on completion of the first album and £55m for the remaining three records.

So 'Escapology' was still Chrysalis, as was 'Live at Knebworth'.

The 'Greatest Hits' was probably a joint effort between Chrysalis and EMI but mainly Chrysalis material so probably not included in the 4 albums.

That leaves 'Intensive Care' as the first album of the deal and 'Rudebox' will be the second album of the deal.

So am I right in thinking that he is still under contract to deliver 2 more albums for EMI?

Will his new DVD's actually be his first DVD releases under EMI?

The Close Encounters tour will have been his first tour for them. I guess they will be expecting a bit more for their money on this side as well before the deal is up.

As Chrysalis is a subsidiary of EMI don't the Escapology album, dvd and tour count then. Surely they must. :confused:

well...this is still confusing..if Chrysallis is part of EMI.

it would be awesome if there are 2 more albums to come...hope Rob is ok with that(considering he said he wants out)..and he will continue after the contract ends.

I just wana be sure he doesn`t leave us yet!!!!

I am never sure whether they mean "studio" albums when they give these figures. If that is the case Knebworth and the greatest hits won't count.

I suppose that if you think about it, Knebworth was put together from the live shows and the greatest hits only contained two new songs, so he didn't really have much to do (sorry, couldn't think of a better way to put that).

I think he probably still has one more album to do.

Have been having a cd sort out today and realised that i hadn't listened to I've Been Expecting You for quite some while now ( Tut Tut)
Can't get past Phoenix from the Flames, i had forgotten how much i love this song, would definately put in my top ten faves, sounds fantastic very loud! can't believe its 7 years old!
Got me thinking what are your fave Robbie "Oldies"?

i havnt listend to this album for a while , love karma killer and strong !

I've been doing my usual concert/new album build-up :blush: A different Robbie album everyday this week!

I love I've Been Expecting You as it holds loads of special memories for me when it was released & on listening to Escapology today, I had forgotten how many tracks I didn't know all the words to as I tend to skip a few :shush:

In terms of oldies, I have a soft spot for Baby Girl Window, One Of God's Better People, Phoenix From the Flames & Jesus in a Camper Van - what a great tune!!

He's got so many great songs. Phoenix From The Flames is definetely my fave. I love the whole I've Been Expecting You album. Oh, can't forget Old Before I Die and One Of God's Better People.

Heaven from here is lovely as well isn't it

Hi Everyone, I am wondering if anyone can help me?

haha yes we would!

mhm... that reminded me of something, have you read about what Robbie said about meeting Beckham? about don't knowing what to do... it would be great it he licked his face... lol

well, first..


happy new year!!:nw2:


and second, i have just watched the making of intensive care that aired long time ago on BBC3 and was amazed to hear in the documentary songs that i dont know :eek:

are there extra songs in intensive care that came out only on certain countries? and if not ,how come i didn't know those songs (was about 3 songs)?

One of them is Don't Stop talking (which was released for Tmobile i think). I don't know which more songs you are talking about cus the other songs i heard there are all from the intensive care album!

another one is Don't Say No, a b-side from Advertising Space. I haven't heard more new songs in it, actually

another one is Don't Say No, a b-side from Advertising Space. I haven't heard more new songs in it, actually
I think "Don't say no" is very beautiful and maybe among the best songs Rob has done. I think it should have been on the album.

Not many people buy the singles and the b-sides are never played on radio, so I think it's a shame that most people never will hear this wonderful song. :sad3:

Marianne, very true and also one of my favorite Robbie songs

I think Don't Say No is brill.

I think Don't Say No is brill.
I agree 100% :hyper:

Would love to hear it ...

Would love to hear it ...


me too..

don't say no is brilliant if u have an itunes account alot of the b-sides are on there thats where i got most of mine they even have the tom jones & robbie medley from the brit awards

Forgive me if there is already this infomation out there! There is so much to read on here, think it's gonna take months:laugh2:

I have a request. Please could somebody kindly list or advised every Robbie single released to date please, in date order? I think I have 90% of Robbie's singles, but had some times when I was too skint to buy any. I am trying to rebuild my collection, and would please like too know what I am missing and the order of his releases, so I can organise my collection. I'm sure you guys will be able too help me, and I would like to say THANKS:20b: :shake: :rr: :hug: in advance. I'm sure this may be useful to others to!

Thanks

Thanks However I did not understand this, don't think it lists as released date! Sorry to be a pain, shall I just wait until you have re-done this thread! Whatever that means, sorry to seem thick I'm just new here and unsure how it all works, I thought someone would know. Thanks for the reply!

go to www.robbiewilliams.com and then to music then to singles and b-sides

there is all information about formats and dates released and they are in release order by date.

ok there are few mistakes with b-side songs, but formats are correct - i'm making my colection after that, i'm missing 8 cd's only :)

also u can check on robopledia.com...each single has the release date...untill the PR thread is ready :hyper:

A massive thank you to one and all. The info was really interesting and I have found what I wanted at www.robbiewilliams.com. Thanks ieva that was excactly what I wanted. If you go to Music, then Menu and Videos and then choose singles they are listed there.:rr: :hug: :20b: :20b:

Thanks again, very helpful!

http://bestsmileys.com/hello/7.gif

Does anyone know who actually selects the singles off Robbie's albums? Does Rob actually have a say or is it management and the record company that hold the power? If anyone has any insight I would be interested to know how it works......thanks.

i imagine it would be Rob who chooses . not 100 percent sure though!

Not too sure but I've read the artist as well as record company choose the songs to be released as singles ... I think they take into consideration 'commercial airplay' as well.

I thought maybe it was a mutial decision

I remember reading somewhere in his book FEEL, and he said that he really wanted "Ghosts" to be a single, but that he didn't win. So based on that, I think it's the sole decision of his management and EMI ;-( .... but in Rob's case I'm sure they take into consideration his opinion, since RUDEBOX is his favorite song off the album, and it became the first single.

Oh, it would have been so great if Ghosts had been released as a single.
Love that song :)

I think it's a joint decision, probably based on ''market trends'' but they should ask us first http://www.cheesebuerger.de/images/midi/frech/a040.gif since we're the ones that will/will not be buying it http://www.cheesebuerger.de/images/midi/frech/a012.gif

That would be an excellent experiment....ask the fans what to release and then see how it performs!

Ghosts so should have been a single. It would have been a real hit and then he could have opened his tour with Ghosts every night....Here I stand victorious...

Nah, I doubt that. He calls the shots and he has said it himself. In the book, David was just trying to convince him to release Radio instead of Ghosts and in the end Rob agreed. I doubt if Rob had've been set on Ghosts that he would've been told what to do.:wink3:

Does anyone know the worldwide sales of RUDEBOX at the moment? I have a discussion on an italian forum because someone pretend it has sold less than 3 millions copies. I suppose it must be more if at december in the worldwide IFPI chart it was certified 2.900.000 millions. HELP ME PLEASE.

Not too sure but I've read the artist as well as record company choose the songs to be released as singles ... I think they take into consideration 'commercial airplay' as well.

I think Robbie's management would have a big influence on persuading his decision.Commercial airplay combined with expected sales would play a big part in it.Then Emi would probably have to agree.

Think the same thing. But I still think that Rob has his own opinion on the songs and the management takes that into account but if he suggests something totally wrong, they just step over it.
Don't actually know how the things work in their world:confused2:

can anyone tell me about what or who robbie wrote "Berliner star"?

thanks:cool2:

can anyone tell me about what or who robbie wrote "Berliner star"?

thanks:cool2:

It was written by Rob and a New York producer called Boots Ottestad, who also wrote Come Undone and Get a Little High with Rob. I would love them to work togather again. They make a great team.:wink3:

I was listening to the radio and a commercial came on for VH1-Rock honors, and it sounded like they said an appearance by Robbie Williams. I went on the VH-1 website but see no information on Robbie appearing. Ozzie Osbourn is one of the honorees, so maybe Robbie is appearing for him. It is airing in the US May 24th at 9 eastern. Hoping I am not just hearing what I want to:blaf:

Apparently NTLA saw the commercial and it is Robin Williams, not Robbie Williams. I guess I was hearing what I want to:sad3:

they really seems to be a great team:-)

thanks

I was listening this morning and wondering if it was about someone in particular.

i was wondering about this too.. my Dad says he wrot this one about me because of my last name :laugh2:
(yeah, sure Dad..):7b:

can anyone tell me about what or who robbie wrot the song "Please don't die"?

thanks :wink3: xxx

I hope that I have got this right but I am sure that I read it somewhere that he wrote this about an Aunt which had died of cancer.

Yeah, that's how I recall it too. The song is inspired by the death of a relative.

about whom did robbie write "Ego go go"? Gary barlow maybe?

and.. i'm doing a project about old and very successful songs. so i need alot of informaition about Angels. things like whom is the song about (his mum?)? why did robbie writ it or anything else you can sell me about the song

writ= write
sell= tell

and i forgot to say- :thx: xxx

I had heard that Ego is about Gary Barlow, but I'm not sure if it is true or just rumor.

I was also always under the impression that Ego a GoGo is about Gary. I'm pretty sure it is.

I don't actually know the true story behind Angels, so can't help you there, sorry.. But if anyone knows, I'd be interested in hearing as well! :)

one of our members did an article about Angels a while ago which might be of some help to you :)

http://www.purerobbie.com/showthread.php?t=10044&highlight=angels

i saw an interview in 1997 where he'd been asked about that song and he didn't say it was about barlow, but he didn't denied it either... i think it's about gary: "hide away in your ivory tower (gary wrote all the tt songs) and cover me in your golden shower..."

I thought it was about Gary,

Ego a go go, now you gone solo living on a memory,

on the live in your living room show, i think he drops a hint its about Gary

thanks everyone!:20b:

Why not post songs that, instead of being made by Rob, have any link to him? For example, California Dreamin` by Mamas and the Papas, or While My Guitar Gently Weeps by The Beatles. They were both played before the begining of his gigs in 2006. Or, You Got The Love by The Source feat. Candi Staton. It was also played before starting the shows in 2006 and he aso sang it while making the video for Radio. Catch my drift? You next! Dunno if it`s a good idea...but it`s worth a try :)

Can anyone tell me whether Mack The Knife was released as a single somewhere? I have seen images of a cd sleeve but googling has turned up no information.

Whilst here, I know that Better Man was released in Australia as a single, and Mr Bojangles was an American only release. Are there any other songs that were not released in the UK but were else where ?

Any help is much appreciated :hug:

win some lose some was released in australia

bongo bong was released in mexico

I found some information on Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robbie_Williams). There's loads of information:

"A second single was released from the album (Swing When You're Winning), a double a-side "Mr. Bojangles/I Will Talk And Hollywood Will Listen", however it was released in Central and Eastern Europe only.

"Mack The Knife" was released as a radio single in Mexico." Here (http://eil.com/shop/moreinfo.asp?catalogid=217433) is a link where you can see the cd-sleeve for Mack the Knife.

"Better Man" was only released in Australia, New Zealand and Latin America. Here (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Better_Man_(Robbie_Williams_song)) is more information.

"Bongo Bong and Je Ne T'Aime Plus" (limited international release) debuted at number 79 on the Mexican Top 100 Singles Chart, a week later it reached its peak position of number 58.

The Fedde Le Grand Remix has charted on the Australian Club Chart the week of 9 July 2007 at number 49.

"Kiss Me" (limited international release) made its debut at number 13 on the Norwegian combined downloads and singles chart on downloads alone. This version was also once featured as the Free Download of the Week on the American version of iTunes.

"Kiss me" was also a radio hit in Sweden (if you remember my article about it ;) ).

"We're The Pet Shop Boys" was released as a U.S. Club promo single in October 2008.
