The scans of record number DNX 8024 (images 727970 & 727971) belong on a new page. You should create a new page with this new catalog number and either reload the images there, or have a moderator move them over.
This situation should be treated the same way this Billie Holiday box set is treated, with the individual records entered on separate pages, and then the album entered on another page to tie the records all together. If we don't have the album available to get the information from, then we just enter the individual records until someone enters the album some time in the future.
It's done this way because these albums often get broken up, and people end up with just one record of an album. This way they can look their record up on the site and find it.

Excello-2101 SUBS 30th Mar 2015 | | Live MusicCollective Soul @ Ziggy's | Caught this show with my son. The old Ziggy's was a very intimate place. No seats on the main levels, just at the bars, and anywhere in the place was great for viewing the stage.
I remember that we got right up to the stage, and during the Collective Soul segment, I was maybe 4 feet from the guitarist, on his left, my right side of the stage.
Enjoyed the show. Collective Soul was in support of their "Dosage" album, which would be released just a few days after this gig, with their hit "Heavy" coming from that album. The band was really tight musically.
This was just a few months prior to their appearance at Woodstock '99.

Excello-2101 SUBS 25th Mar 2015 | | Live MusicSevendust @ Ziggy's | As the address says on the ticket, this was at the old Ziggy's on Baity Street.
Caught this show with my then 20 year old son, who was a Sevendust fan. The highlight for me though, was Nonpoint. I wasn't familiar with the band until this show, but either at the show, or a day or two later, I don't remember which, I bought a couple of Nonpoint CD's, which I still have.
Between Nonpoint and Sevendust, I went up to the bar, and someone asked me how I liked the set. I turned around and it was the drummer for Nonpoint. I told him it was great, and it was.

Excello-2101 SUBS 23rd Mar 2015 | | Live MusicYes @ Greensboro Coliseum Complex | My main memory of this show was of it being my first Yes show, my first concert with my new wife of less than a year, and the problem with festival seating.
There was regular layered seating as you would expect from a coliseum, and they also had hundreds of folding chairs lined up many rows deep on the floor in front of the stage. We decided that since we could pick whichever seat we wanted, we would sit in the floor section, on folding chairs.
Graphon came on but, I'm sorry to say, I don't remember much about their part of the show, except that everyone was respectful and appreciative and sat there listening to their set.
There was a fairly long wait before Stravinsky's "Firebird Suite" began, softly at first and building in intensity. Then Yes started playing "Sound Chaser", and as soon as it started, everyone stood up, which means there were row after row of people in front of us on their feet. It wasn't a big problem for me, I'm a pretty tall guy, but my poor wife, who is vertically challenged, couldn't see a thing.
After waiting a while and realizing that they weren't going to sit back down for the whole show, we started working our way toward the stage, trying to get to a spot where she could see. We ended up directly in front of the stage, right under Chris Squire. So close, in fact, we could see the spittle coming out of his mouth as he sang backup to Jon Anderson.
But, that means we were also just in front of, and slightly below a bank of speakers. It was LOUD!! We couldn't hear right for days after the concert, but she could see, at least the Chris Squire part of the stage.
Lesson learned about festival seating.

Excello-2101 SUBS 15th May 2014 | | 78 RPMRosemary Clooney - Ford Thunderbird Postcard Phonograph Record ("Ford-Song") |
Yeah, I'm pretty sure that it's not a Thunderbird. Here are some of the reasons.
First, the early T-Birds had some chrome hash marks (nine of them I think) on the fender just in front of the door hinges that don't appear to be in this photo.
Second, the 1956 T-Bird is famous for its "porthole" of a rear window on the hardtops, which, even though the scantly dressed female is partially blocking, is not evident here.
Third, There is a long chrome piece that starts just above the headlight on the Fairlane and runs across the top of the fender and down to the door, and then to the back of the car. This separates the two colors on the often two-toned Fairlanes. This feature doesn't exist on the '55 or '56 T-Bird. In fact, I don't recall ever seeing a two-toned Thunderbird from these years.
Fourth, if you look at the front bumper, the two vertical parts are in a sort of bullet shape on the Thunderbird, not so on the Fairlane.
All-in-all, without being an expert in either one of these styles of car, I think it's safe to say that the picture on the postcard is a Fairlane rather than a Thunderbird.
But, I have been wrong before, ask my two ex-wives.

Unless I'm very much mistaken, the car in the picture is not a Thunderbird, but is a 1956 Ford Fairlane.
A '56 Fairlane was my very first car as a teen, just getting my drivers license. Mine was two toned black and white.
Ah, nostalgia ain't what it used to be.

Excello-2101 SUBS 2nd May 2014 | | 78 RPMAndrews Sisters - Rum And Coca-Cola / One Meat Ball |
Morey Amsterdam, who is credited with writing the hit, "Rum And Coca-Cola" is best known for his role as Buddy Sorrell on the American television series "The Dick Van Dyke Show", which ran from 1961 to 1966.
Even though he is still given credit for writing the song, there was a version of this song originally written by a calypso singer from Trinidad named Lord Invader (Rupert Grant). After a 3 year copyright battle, Lord Invader was granted royalties, but Amsterdam was still allowed to receive writer credit for his version.
