7226power ● 14 minutes ago		Vinyl Album The Righteous Brothers - Give It To The People (1974)	In notes; Arranged and conducted by Michael Omartian Produced by Dennis Lambert and Brian Potter A Haven Records Production ℗ 1974 Capitol Records Inc. A mod correction request already sent.
23skidoo 2 hours ago		DVD THX 1138 - Warner Home Video (2005)	I'm just starting to index my DVDs. This entry is shown as a US release, yet it has the Canadian Home Video rating icons. Is this a US release then or a Canadian "pressing"?
slholzer 4 hours ago		78 RPM Billy Dalton - Can I Be Sure It's Love / Eva (1930)	The last time I encountered the Billy Dalton name on Madison it was ID'd by Country Music Records as Jack Weston. This disc, however, does not appear under Weston's name in CMR. The On-Line Discographical Project shows vocalist initials IK, which I would guess stand for Irving Kaufman, but you'd have to ask Steve Abrams to know for sure. Dave Sanborn does not appear as an artist or a pseudonym in any of my reference sources. It could be he is a real person, but because he appears on Madison, it is more probable than not that he isn't. The On-Line Discographical project lists vocalist initials AB, which may be a clue as to who Abrams thought it was, but no one comes to my mind at the moment. The ODP also proposes Sannella (presumably Andy) as the composer of "Eva", which might ultimately be better clue. A mystery for another day or somebody else.
slholzer 4 hours ago		78 RPM Smith And James - Left My Gal In The Mountains / The Girl I Loved In Sunny Tennessee (1930)	Per Tony Russell's Country Music Records, 1921-1942, Tom Cook on the B-side is Frank Luther. In Pseudonyms on American REcords, 1892-1942, Allan Sutton indicates that Tom Cook is possibly Frank Luther on Grey Gull labels but not on Madison, based on aural evidence. This is a very strong opinion by Sutton's standards. Other candidates listed in CMR's Xref for Tom Cook include Arthur Fields, Vernon Dalhart and possibly others (but bear in mind that Russell made his choice and it is printed on p. 776 under Carson Robison's name. The A side is listed by CMR on the same page, where Smith and James is apparently accepted as the actual identity of the vocal duo. Both sides are shown as recorded in NY, ?c. Sept. 1929. The On-Line Discographical Project is silent on the identity of Tom Cook and concurs with CMR that the B-side is a Carson Robison group. The ODP assigns different mxs and rec dates to each side (3626B in June, 1927 to A, 2483B in Aug. 1929 to B.) CMR shows the 3626B mx as a separate track from mx 135-A-B, with a different issue list (not inc. any Madisons).and a different artist credit (Frank Luther & Ed Faber). Mx 2483B may be listed somewhere in CMR, but so far I've not found it and I'm out of useful clues. If Tom Cook is Vernon Dalhart or Arthur Fields, this particular track did not make it into CMR under their names. Both chapters are selective for country material and selections deemed to be "Pop" are generally not included.
xiphophilos 5 hours ago		78 RPM Comedian Harmonists - Hallo, was machst du heut, Daisy! / Ich hab' dich lieb, braune Madonna (1931)	"Hallo, Was Machst Du Heut, Daisy!" is Walter Donaldson's 1930 hit "You're Driving Me Crazy", except with new German lyrics. For comparison, here is Don Redman singing the original in a 1931 recording: [YouTube Video]
23skidoo 5 hours ago		Book Steven Spielberg - Close Encounters Of The Third Kind (1978)	Recalling how Alan Dean Foster ghost-wrote the Star Wars A New Hope novelization for George Lucas I looked around to see if perhaps someone wrote this on behalf of Spielberg. I did see one website speculate it may have been Foster again, but otherwise I can find nothing. Of course if anyone is able to identify a writer who used Spielberg as a pen name, please correct accordingly.

The_Vinyl_Junkie SUBS 8 hours ago		Classical Item Berliner Philharmoniker, Herbert Von Karajan - Symphonien Von Beethoven Brahms Mendelssohn Mozart Schumann Tschaikowsky	The full entry finally completed.
slholzer 10 hours ago		78 RPM Original Dixie Rag Pickers - Charleston Rhythm / Chinky Charleston (1929)	According to an entry in the American Dance Band Discography (p. 1631), the A-side track is by Ben Selvin AHO, recorded in NYC c. April, 1925. It was also issued on Grey Gull and Globe (no. 1278 in both cases). Honey Duke and His Uke is a well-known pseudonym for Johnny Marvin.
Gill Sans SUBS 10 hours ago		Classical Item The Choir Of St. John's College, Cambridge - Meditation (2004)	Sorry, I somehow missed your reply until now. Thanks for adding more performers; are any soloists listed in the booklet? I'm not aware of a limit but can add a lot more than the thirteen on this; here's one I did earlier, with over 100 performers! The Treasury Of English Church Music, 1100-1965
slholzer 11 hours ago		78 RPM George Anthony - Hallelujah, I'm A Bum / Rock Candy Mountain (1930)	Country Music Records lists Jack Weston as the artist on both sides of this disc. Per CMR, it was recorded in NY, c. January, 1930.
slholzer 11 hours ago		78 RPM Atlanta Syncopators - Kiss Me Soon Again / Sweet Little Sis (1929)	The B side is listed in the American Dance Band Discography on p. 684 under Grey Gull studio bands. The Altanta Syncopaters are also Xreffed in ADBD as a Grey Gull Studio band, but the A-side track is not listed in that chapter unless it was first issued under the title "Emilia" on the Van Dyke label.. Lest there be any confusion on the matter, such re-titlings were not unknown in the Grey Gull stable. If that is the case here, however, the re-appearance of "Emilia" on Madison 1939 as "Kiss Me Soon Again" is not documented in ADBD.
albert 12 hours ago		Cinema The Shining (1980) (1980)	Note that there are 2 official versions of the film, the USA version at 2hours 26mins, and the trimmed version at 1hour 55mins - cutting out a lot of incidental stuff but losing much of the ominous feel and slow built up of tension. After Kubrick's death the long version, now referred to as the extended cut, has become widely available on Blu-ray, 4K and some DVDs (I think it was always the version on Region 1 DVDs), and I recommend this as the one to watch. For artistic reasons Kubrick shot the film full frame, and it is best viewed without any matting. Unfortunately recent transfers present the film 1:85 (or wider) for a more 'cinematic look'.
arjayvee SUBS 12 hours ago		Vinyl Album The Shirelles - The Shirelles Swing The Most (1965)	"That Boy Is Messin' Up My Mind" is listed as a track on Side A per the lineup on the front and back covers but does not exist on the actual pressing of the LP, similar to the track "Happy Birthday" on the Shirelles' "Hear & Now" Pricewise LP.
arjayvee SUBS 13 hours ago		Vinyl Album The Shirelles - The Shirelles Hear And Now (1965)	Please note that despite a song titled "Happy Birthday" being listed on the front and back covers, it does not exist on the finished LP.
mister_tmg 14 hours ago		78 RPM Larry Page - That'll Be The Day / Please Don't Blame Me (1957)	Another British 78rpm performer who has died, aged 87.
slholzer 15 hours ago		78 RPM Jim Anderson - Dream Mother / Moonbeam Girl Of Mine (1929)	The On-Line Discographical Project offers an alternate mx of 3437 for the A-side of this disc. It is not the first time I have seen the 5000 series number shown on a Madison label disregarded as mere control number. Perhaps the bigger mystery would be why they seemed to use controls so haphazardly. Why on one side, but not the other?
whitewhale1965 15 hours ago		CD Album Texas - Ricks Road (1993)	"Tired Of Being Alone" is track 11 on the US release.
Hapereb SUBS 16 hours ago		Cinema Gojira (Godzilla) (1984) (1984)	At last Godzilla is back as the real asskicker he really is. He got the mean look back.
han enderman 16 hours ago		78 RPM Freddy Mirfield And His Garbage Men - Good Old Wagon Blues / Miss Annabelle Lee (1945)	De F-8526 - label images added. These are Johnny Dankworth's first recordings, on clarinet with Mirfield's dixieland band 13 Sep 1944. Who is composer T.D. Hos? - There are too many typos in the track descriptions and notes of this entry. [Thanks, now fixed. Mod.]
Hawkmarty SUBS ● 18 hours ago		Vinyl Album Various Artists - Monsters Of Rock (1980)	Me too! Still have the ticket and programme.
Madame Streggae 18 hours ago		Vinyl Album Al Brown - Here I Am Baby (1974)	I can't find any evidence that they played at Hyde Park Stampkool but neither can I find anything about any big outside gig (and with a hugely white audience) where Al Brown played, although I can quite believe he toured the UK in `74 on the strength of the title track from this album. Just playing it now - it's ok but probably not one I'd go back to much. He tends to go a bit OTT on the Al Green inflections for my liking, particularly on 'For The Good Times' and 'Girl In His Mind'.
