George Slv 22nd Sep 2024		Vinyl Album Trini Lopez - In London	So ... this album is not a live performance in London.
George Slv 25th Aug 2024		Vinyl Album Ivan Romanoff - Ballads Of The Cossack	This can be heard at Internet Archive.
George Slv 25th Aug 2024		Vinyl Album Ivan Romanoff - Rhapsody With Romanoff	Mono copy was FL 245. Can be heard at the Internet Archive.
George Slv 27th Apr 2024		Vinyl Album Nana Mouskouri - Vieilles Chansons De France	Some editions had a foldout cover. And I fear that it was from recycled vinyl and more prone to degradation. Some songs are gems.
George Slv 23rd Mar 2024		TV Toast Of The Town (1948 - 1971)	Tv.com was a site with invaluable information about TV episodes. It closed recently. Here are archived copies of all Sullivan episode descriptions, in the form of webpages: https://app.box.com/s/icm9cvp8frapc18yrywepvjjckhrg6du
George Slv 13th Dec 2023		Vinyl Album Billy Strange - Great Western Themes	Review This type of western music is always interesting. It must have been recorded using the Wrecking Crew studio band in Los Angeles. It is not a large orchestra like Don Costa used with Al Caiola and some songs suffer for it. Mostly it's enjoyable. Each song is preceded by sound effects, like a cattle drive or Indians whooping it up. They call western music lusty, and created a cover to match. 1 person found this review helpful. ✔︎ Helpful Review?
George Slv 7th Dec 2023		TV The Big Beat (1957 - 1959)	Documentary report: [YouTube Video] Dance scene: [YouTube Video] One episode can be bought at The Video Beat.
George Slv 21st Nov 2023		Live Music The Guess Who @ Memorial Park	I attended and took photos. The exact date needs confirmation. I seemed to be the only photographer there. They are personal photos and I'm having trouble finding them.
George Slv 8th Oct 2023		Vinyl Album Various Artists - Funky Hits	The front cover says 25 Funny Funky Hits, which I take as the title. The back cover says 25 Krazy Kookie Hits, which I will take as a description. The disc label says Funky Hits. The Little Richard songs are the Vee-Jay rerecordings. See You Later, Alligator is a rerecording, but a heavier beat.
George Slv 23rd May 2023		Vinyl Album Brook Benton - The Best Of Brook Benton	This was also sold in Canada. The sound quality is superb, and all stereo. There is no reason to link this with the Netherlands LP with the same title. [Mod: removed link]
George Slv 11th Apr 2023		Cinema Platinum High School (1960)	I see three different edits listed for the film. 1:35 original at IMDB, 1:33 video from The Video Beat, and 1:31 for the 1993 VHS release. I saw a TV showing in the 1990s but did not keep it. I recall a couple of references that I don't see in the current video. The title song was cut from that showing. It sounds like a bunch of fancy cutting for this film. Currently the complete Video Beat edition is available on Youtube.
George Slv 11th Apr 2023		Cinema Platinum High School (1960)	About the poster for Trouble At 16. It mentions Banned. I perceive this is referring to the story involving killing a student by hitting him on the neck with a baseball bat. I'd agree this is too blatant violence for a film, even if it's only spoken of. Was the film banned in 1960 in some places?
George Slv 11th Apr 2023		Cinema Platinum High School (1960)	Some points of interest for music fans: Conway Twitty was a major rock & roll star at the time for MGM, who made this movie. Jimmy Boyd as one of Twitty's gang is the pop singer who had hits like I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus and Dennis The Menace. Cliff Edwards has a small role. For Walt Disney he did the voice of Jimminy Cricket and sang the song When You Wish Upon A Star.
George Slv 27th Mar 2023		DVD Le Avventure E Gli Amori Di Moll Flanders - Paramount	Review This is indeed the 2.35 widescreen for the first time, in a 16:9 frame. It is the cut US edition, bringing the length down from 2:06 to 1:47. The picture quality is not sharp at all. There are Italian and English language tracks. The Italian edition contains an original male vocal over the opening titles. No extras. It is all region, but PAL format. I don't think NTSC DVD players will display it, but your computer likely will. Dual layer. I think the movie is alright, with lovely sets and interesting characters. Some of the attempts at humor are just too lame though, especially with Jemmy's sidekick Squint. 1 person found this review helpful. ✔︎ Helpful Review?
George Slv 15th Mar 2023		DVD She [1965] - Warner Home Video	The shape of this picture is around 2.2 letterboxed within a 4:3 frame. The original film is listed as 2.35. I don't know why the difference. I've posted an image of how the DVD displays.
George Slv 31st Jan 2023		78 RPM Grandpa Jones And His Grandchildren - Mountain Dew / My Darling's Not My Darling Anymore	The original 1947 record, not the 1957 Decca, from The78Prof: [YouTube Video]
George Slv 21st Jan 2023		Vinyl Album The Wailers [Tacoma] - The Wailer's Wail	Apparently this was released in Germany. See Discogs. The entry and images I made on the other page were actually from this bootleg of mine, not knowing at the time.
George Slv 7th Dec 2022		Music Memorabilia Teresa Brewer - Ol' Man Mose	Released in 1949 in US. When she performed it on Ed Sullivan in 1950 he said she had "made history" with this recording. I would sure like to know what that meant.
George Slv 9th Oct 2022		78 RPM Teresa Brewer - The Thing / I Guess I'll Have To Dream The Rest	Thanks a lot My Friend Jack. You don't mean "Bit Singles". Does this supposedly represent all of England? There was no national chart then, only regional. Apparently at some point she reached #20. PS: It's more clear to me now. The book is based on wholesale sales nation-wide. It also references sheet music. There are various errors in it. The website I had found in one city must have been displaying charts contrary to copyright and was shut down. Do you find her in it at #20?
George Slv 9th Oct 2022		78 RPM Teresa Brewer - The Thing / Guess I'll Have To Dream The Rest	I've posted a UK chart of some kind that shows this single at #24. Notice some other interesting records. I have no idea what that Telephone Song could be at #15.
George Slv 5th Oct 2022		Cinema The Amorous Adventures Of Moll Flanders (1965)	Some comments about the titles credit for music. The shot of Kim in a bedsheet shows a scene that has been cut from all video releases for some reason. At about 45 minutes she is changing while Richard Johnson is waiting in the kitchen. It's a bit sensuous but not revealing. Before video releases I had a TV recording of the original edition that had this. One of my strokes of bad luck was when I decided to record a better quality Bravo telecast over that tape spot, assuming it would be the same. The telecast was the new edit. Who knows what other bits are missing. A similar thing happened to me when Tom Jones was reedited. Would anyone have an original edition of this Moll? It's also not being released on any disc format. Maybe too raunchy for America?
George Slv 30th Aug 2022		Vinyl Album Various Artists - The Dimension Dolls Volume 1	I had this album in the 1960s. Cheap from a pawn shop. Now they sell for 3 figures. BUT I also saw a volume 2 later in the 60s. They are saying there was no volume 2. Most of the cuts are demos by the staff singers. Now I have a cassette of it retitled Carole King Plus, from 1991, I expect from digital. Oh! Oh! It Started All Over Again was a great B side by Brenda Lee.
George Slv 28th Jul 2022		Vinyl Album Don Gibson - The Best Of Don Gibson	Now what's this notes about electronic stereo on this mono LP. That is physically impossible. Must pertain to the stereo LP. Note should be withdrawn. And I'm wondering if they would have used the hit single masters on this LP. RCA's handling of his Best LPs is strange. So many hits left out but garbage like I Think It's Best included.
George Slv 20th Jun 2022		Vinyl Album Ray Stevens - Gitarzan	Review This is entirely a live album from some club. Renditions are good, enough to be released as hit singles for some. Being on the Monument label they could not reuse his Mercury hits. Ahab The Arab is the short version, expanded here by audience and band sounds. This is the version where he shouts "my soul's American". Sir Thanks-A-Lot and Bagpipes are great new songs. A fine album. 2 people found this review helpful. ✔︎ Helpful Review?
George Slv 19th May 2022		Vinyl Album The Drifters - Our Biggest Hits	Review I was never aware of this album. It turns out to be the same as Under The Boardwalk except it includes Drip Drop from the late 1950s in place of that hit. They must have just switched their attention to the Boardwalk LP soon after. As a hits LP this one is dire. Only 3 hits. It illustrates the trouble they had after Leiber and Stoller left the company. The other staff were not very good at picking hits. B2 and B3 are rather bizarre compositions. It's possible to enjoy a few of the others. Vaya Con Dios was a good single I thought, but radio decided it was just a remake of an earlier hit and did not promote it. 3 people found this review helpful. ✔︎ Helpful Review?
George Slv 13th Dec 2021		TV The Statler Brothers Show (1991 - 1998)	moax429, did TNN fold first, or did Viacom just buy them out? CBS was biased against Country and screwed it up. But now the country folks started a new network called RFD.
George Slv 22nd Sep 2021		Cinema C'mon, Let's Live A Little (1967)	Back-Talk plus Instant Girl from the movie [YouTube Video] I'll bet there might be enuf interest for Paramount to issue a Blu-ray of this. For AR 2.35 you'd need that extra resolution.
George Slv 22nd Sep 2021		Vinyl Album Various Artists - "C`Mon Let`s Live A Little" Original Soundtrack Recording	A couple of Jackie's songs that were cut from the TV movie: For Granted [YouTube Video] Baker Man [YouTube Video]
George Slv 21st Sep 2021		Cinema C'mon, Let's Live A Little (1967)	Twistin, I've taken that into account. The copyright date is SUPPOSED TO BE the date of first publication, not production. The albums are listed as 1966. The IMDB date was somebody's reference to some New York showing in 1967. I'm taking issue with IMDB. On the other hand: I've found the New York Times REVIEW from May 4, 1967 saying the movie opened yesterday. That actually should settle it. This suggests the studio doesn't know how to use copyright dates, that nobody on the web knew what they were talking about, and all the album dates are nonsense.
George Slv 21st Sep 2021		Cinema C'mon, Let's Live A Little (1967)	There is too much confusion about the date. Sources always say 1967. But the title screen says 1966 so I've submitted that. A soundtrack date of 1966 should be correct, but someone also said 1965. This film can be found at Internet Archive. Also the musical soundtrack if you dig into the files, which can be downloaded.
