Gerry Rafferty - When I Rest (unique B-side) - R.I.P. video free download

The Infomaniac

Gerry Rafferty never cared about fame or the celebrity life style, all he ever wanted was respect for his talent and songs. He also never trusted the music industry and look what they're doing now. Most of the artists today are completely manufactured, they might as well just stepped off a fucking conveyor belt. In 40 years time people won't even remember Justin Bieber, One Direction or Miley Cyrus, their music is bland and forgettable. All the proper bands played in bars and clubs for years trying to clinch a record deal, they don't go on some crappy talent show get it handed to them on a silver platter!

Kenny Boy

Come on Martha, let's have a compilation of his best B sides, out takes, etc.Just heard 'When I Rest', brilliant - Gerry at his best.

Bonnie Brown

I loved ALL of his Music and Songs, didn't know he passed in January of 2011. Rest in Peace Great Man!!

John Ward

Love it...it's great to hear something new to me...Gerry Baby !

Liam Jennings

Anyone who thinks that "Baker Street" was a good song is in for a treat..... Check out "Right or Wrong", "Ferguslie Park", anything else by "Stealer's Wheel" and indeed any of Mr. Rafferty's (so- called) "B- sides" and you will quickly realise that most of them are far superior to most of today's A-sides. Rest in Peace Mr. Rafferty.... you helped me get through it all, and I will be forever grateful.

Same goes for US releases in UK. Check out GEMM - US based, Musicstack or Netsounds - UK based. You've a fairly good chance of aquiring Rafferty's singles from them.

This is awesome! EMI really needs to re-release or create a box set of all of Rafferty's recordings including this b-side and the rare Single Edits all remastered, it is very difficult (especially in the US) to find all of these rare recordings. Thanks for sharing :-)

Sean Tomkins
