I brought this topic up on an earlier edition of this forum last summer. It was a good topic and thought it was worth bringing up again. I read on Amazon.com that Karen recorded the Linda Ronstadt hit "You're No Good" for her solo album - but nobody seems to know anything about the recording or if it really does exist. Does anybody have any information on the song? Has anybody heard it?

I've also read this on Amazon.com. I think it was in a review for Karen's solo album.

I think there was a rumor that while Karen was making her solo album, one of the songs she was recording was "You're No Good"- a hit for Linda Rondstat. Since the 1996 release of the album, (that should have been issued in 1980), there are 9 to 11 more songs that are left to be put out on CD, (unless you count the 9 songs that have been 'bootlegged'), and "You're No Good" is apparently not one of them. I am sure Phil Ramone knows if it was recorded, but, he rarely talks about the album. I think he feels he was treated very badly by Herb Albert. First Albert asks him to record an album with Karen, which takes from 1979 to 1980 to accomplish, and then Albert states it's unreleasable! Not even Quincy Jones asking Albert to release the album can get him to change his mind. In my opionion, there was no recording of "You're No Good". It was nothing more than a rumor. ;D Benn

Hi.
I have also heard this rumour, but also heard that the song was one of the many selected as potential songs for the album. I believe it was not finished like most of the other ones that has been bootlegged. It might have been just a work lead recorded to see if it was an alternative for the album. It was likely to be rejected and therefor not much work was done on it. It may also be that only parts of it was recorded to try it out or that it was never recorded at all, just played during a jam session.
If I should make a guess, I think it is only recorded in parts and is one of those many songs that doesn`t have a complete vocal recording.
