No Frills (Bette Midler album) No Frills is the sixth studio album by American singer Bette Midler , released on Atlantic Records in 1983. No Frills was Midler's first studio album in four years, following the movies The Rose , Divine Madness! and Jinxed! . The rock and new wave influenced album was produced by Chuck Plotkin , best known for his work with Bob Dylan and Bruce Springsteen , and included three single releases; the ballad "All I Need to Know", a cover of Marshall Crenshaw's "My Favourite Waste of Time" and Midler's take on the Rolling Stones song "Beast of Burden".Release While No Frills became Midler's second lowest-charting album in the US, peaking at #60 on Billboard, it became her best-selling studio album to date in both Continental Europe and Scandinavia; in West Germany it reached #15, in the Netherlands #10, in Norway #2 and in Sweden No Frills hit #1, outselling the Rose soundtrack. "Beast of Burden" was a Top 10 single in most parts of Europe. The promo video for the song, made during the early MTV era, featured Mick Jagger in a cameo role playing Midler's boyfriend. The soundtrack to the video including the spoken dialogue was released on the B-side of the 12" single in Europe. In September 1984 the video for "Beast Of Burden" was nominated for three MTV Video Music Awards for Best Female Video , Best Choreography , and Best Stage Performance Video. When Midler's greatest hits compilation Experience the Divine was released in 1993 only one song from No Frills was included; "Only In Miami" - an album track which never was a single either in the US or in Europe. A second edition of the compilation with a revised track list, released in 1996, added both "Beast of Burden" and "My Favourite Waste of Time". The album was released on CD for the first time in 1990. A remastered version of the album was released by Atlantic Records/Warner Music in 1995.Track listing Side A "Is It Love" - 4:43 "Favorite Waste of Time" - 2:43 "All I Need to Know" - 4:08 "Only in Miami" - 4:35 "Heart Over Head" - 2:52 Side B "Let Me Drive" - 4:02 "My Eye on You" - 4:03 "Beast of Burden" - 3:48 "Soda and a Souvenir" - 3:23 "Come Back Jimmy Dean" - 3:51Personnel Bette Midler – lead vocals , backing vocals Ricky Lawson – drums tracks A1, A3, A4, B1, B2, B4 Pops Popswell – bass guitar tracks A1, A3, A4, B4 Buzz Feiten – guitars tracks A1, A3, A4, B1, B2, B4 Bobby Lyle – synthesizers tracks A1, B1, piano tracks A3, A4, keyboards track B2, Fender Rhodes track B4 Bobby Martin – synthesizers tracks A1, A3, organ track B1, keyboards track B2, organ & synthesizer track B4 Robert Irving – synthesizers tracks A1, A2, piano track A5 Mark Goldenberg – guitar & synthesizer solos tracks A1 & A3, guitar solo track A2, electric guitars & synthesizers track A5, guitars track B3, syntheziers track B5 David Logeman – drums & percussion track A2 Dave Demare – bass track A2 Waddy Wachtel – electric guitars track A2 Philip Kennard – acoustic guitars & background vocals track A2 Brock Walsh – acoustic guitars track A2, piano track B5 Lisa Garber – background vocals tracks A2, A3, A4 Laura Allan – background vocals tracks A2, A3, A4 Janis Cercone – background vocals track A3 Malando Gassama – percussion track A4 Marc "Caz" Macino – horns tracks A4, B1 Mark Hatch – horns track A4 Jim Keltner – drums tracks A5, B3 Mark Leonard – bass track A5 Bobbye Hall – congas A5 Chas Sanford – electric guitars & synthesizers track A5 Vernon Porter – bass tracks B1, B2 Joe Turano – background vocals track B1 Greg Prestopino – background vocals track B1 Matthew Wilder – background vocals track B1 Jude Johnstone – background vocals track B2 Tim Drummond – bass track B3 Danny Kortchmar – guitars track B3 The Staggering Harlettes – background vocals track B4Production Chuck Plotkin – record producer Brock Walsh – associate producer Danny Goldberg – executive producer Marc "Caz" Macino – horn arrangement track A4 Toby Scott – recording all tracks, mixing track B4 Don Smith – additional recording & mixing Debbie Gold – production supervisor Bonnie Bruckheimer – production associate Recorded at Clover Studios with additional recording at Sound Factory & Rumbo Recorders Mixed at Clover Studios & Rumbo Recorders Assistant engineers: Dave Demore, Steve Brix, Dave Pearce, Julian Stoll, Greg Anderson Andre Miripolsky – cover art John Kosh , Ron Larson – design and art direction: Greg Gorman – photographyCharts
