George Slv 26th Jul 2015		Cinema Shake, Rattle & Rock! (Shake, Rattle And Rock! ) (1956)	Review Connors plays a host of a TV teen dance party show, where he has brought in city gang members who have now been influenced to reform their lives.Throughout the film Fats Domino sings three songs. Big Joe Turner sings two and his band plays a couple more as dance background. A group of old fogies including Margaret Dumont insist on getting the show and R&R banned. It leads to a trial that is telecast, played for humour. There are still plenty of "useful idiot" liberals who disdain the "McCarthy era" and all these kinds of subjects, and make clever comments against it. That's not my approach. The movie was the third produced by the new American-International studio formed by Samuel Arkoff and John (Jack) Nicholson, and it was successful. It is categorized as public domain now, which suggests that it was never even formally copyrighted at the time. There are DVDs available from private sellers. Mike Connors starred in the TV detective series Tightrope ~1959 and later Mannix. He used the name Touch Connors in a couple of movies. 2 people found this review helpful. ✔︎ Helpful Review?
George Slv 25th Jul 2015		Music Memorabilia Connie Francis - Who's Sorry Now	Charlie, it is not a facsimile of anything, it is a new creation of the company. Digitally produced complete with dumb shaping errors. There was no original like this. If you consider this a newly designed memorabilia that's different.
George Slv 24th Jul 2015		Music Memorabilia Connie Francis - Who's Sorry Now	That cover is not a faithful reproduction. Someone didn't know how to maintain the right shape. Frankly I suspect it's a fake. She didn't look that way in 1958.
George Slv 21st Jul 2015		Vinyl Album Harry Belafonte - Belafonte Sings Of The Caribbean	Don't Ever Love Me was an early form of Yellow Bird. It was based on Choucoune ... which was based on Petit Oiseaux ... which was .. [YouTube Video] YT from calypzombie85 By the way I'd like to hear Choucoune by Nancy Ames.
George Slv 20th Jul 2015		Vinyl Album Jack Scott - The Original Recordings 1958-1959	Save My Soul with complete ending, from cdbpdx [YouTube Video]
George Slv 20th Jul 2015		Vinyl Album Jack Scott - The Original Recordings 1958-1959	Save My Soul here omits the final ending refrain, after what was a false fadeout. Problem with masters. Also there was a four-page insert included.
George Slv 18th Jul 2015		Vinyl Album Jack Scott - Rave On	Linda and Jack both singing A Little Feeling Called Love [YouTube Video] From GSMusicMoments, who didn't know exactly who this Linda was. It was Jack's own sister, not THE Linda Scott.
George Slv 15th Jul 2015		Cinema Octopussy (1983)	[YouTube Video] One review book says they threw in everything but the kitchen sink to make an enjoyable movie. This may be the most enjoyable exciting Bond. Check these train scenes. Goof: If you have a bomb 4-hour preset delay, then you don't set the detonation time.
George Slv 15th Jul 2015		Vinyl Album The Wailers [Tacoma] - The Fabulous Wailers	Added closeups of back text, for historical reference. And I assume the vinyl was made from digital masters.
George Slv 15th Jul 2015		Vinyl Album The Wailers [Tacoma] - The Wailer's Wail	This Canadian Allied release was reissued as a bootleg in Europe in the 1980s. My own copy has thin vinyl so mine can't be the 1964 issue. Were there any other reissues that it could be?
George Slv 15th Jul 2015		Vinyl Album The Wailers [Tacoma] - The Fabulous Wailers	According to Discogs this one was reissued in US in 1962. Plus in 1964 when Tall Cool One resurfaced, it was reissued in US with the Wailers Wail title. That edition also issued in Canada in 1964.
George Slv 14th Jul 2015		Vinyl Album The Wailers [Tacoma] - The Wailer's Wail	Back cover looks like a repro of the 1959 US The Fabulous Wailers cover.
George Slv 14th Jul 2015		Vinyl Album The Wailers [Tacoma] - The Wailer's Wail	This release in Canada was titled The Wailers Wail. A valid release I believe. These releases need to be sorted out. There was no Canadian release with the title The Fabulous Wailers.
George Slv 12th Jul 2015		DVD Abbott And Costello - Legendary Comedy Duo (Vol 2)	To figure the release history: The disc says released by Television Classics, Volume 2. The cover says released by Keepsake Pictures. I think Classics had a 3 DVD series of releases, and Keepsake likely only chose to reissue the second. So all of these would have been digitally remastered.
George Slv 11th Jul 2015		DVD Abbott And Costello - Legendary Comedy Duo (Vol 2)	Teresa Brewer song and dance of Roll Them Roly Boly Eyes on the second show here from 1953 [YouTube Video]
George Slv 11th Jul 2015		DVD Abbott And Costello - Legendary Comedy Duo (Vol 2)	There are various releases of these TV shows. I feature this because it's remastered, presumably better than others. Picture and sound are crisp. Does this mean other similar releases were not mastered the same way? However they are all from kinescopes, which was a movie film made off a TV screen during the live show. There was no video tape. So the basic picture has some clarity issues, there are white margins along vertical borders, like faces. This is also a characteristic of VHS HQ - white clipping, so I'd like to know the exact generations this has passed thru. These shows seem to be public domain now.
George Slv 10th Jul 2015		Vinyl Album Al Caiola - Tuff Guitar Tijuana Style	El Flicko and Thunderball are good tough guitar instrumentals. Morgen is the earlier Ivo Robic German hit.
George Slv 4th Jul 2015		Vinyl Album Al Martino - The Best Of Al Martino	This was reissued in Canada in 1979 apparently as SN 16074, which I have. I find the sound dull. Don't know if the 1968 was the same. Find the singles superior this way.
George Slv 2nd Jul 2015		Vinyl Album Nancy Ames - The Incredible Nancy Ames	Nancy Ames - Cu Cu Rru Cu Cu Paloma from ThomShelford [YouTube Video]
George Slv 2nd Jul 2015		Vinyl Album Nancy Ames - Versatile Nancy Ames	Nancy Ames - Bonsoir Cher from keurspel (Leon Rossouw) [YouTube Video] Later recorded by Ed Ames as Bonsoir Dame.
George Slv 2nd Jul 2015		Vinyl Album Nancy Ames - Versatile Nancy Ames	I find the sound on this Sunset release to be dull, bad frequency equalization, as if recorded thru a wall. The original LPs must be better I hope. But ain't she nice. She is a type like Michelle Phillips of the Mamas & Papas or Connie Smith.
George Slv 27th Jun 2015		Vinyl Album Ritchie Valens - Greatest Hits	After the La Bamba movie I saw two new LP compilations, the other from Rhino. Chose the song selections of this one. Was this not issued in other countries?
George Slv 27th Jun 2015		Vinyl Album Jerry Lee Lewis - The Return Of Rock	"Now listen here baby, to what old Jerry Lee has to say, cause baby, Jerry don't talk this nonsense to everyone ..." - Baby, Hold Me Close. The coolness of it all
George Slv 26th Jun 2015		Vinyl Album Jerry Lee Lewis - Roll Over Beethoven !!!	My Canadian copy has composers so I submitted corrections.
George Slv 26th Jun 2015		Vinyl Album Jerry Lee Lewis - Roll Over Beethoven !!!	The cover says Pickwick release. The label says Hilltop. I would call it Pickwick.
George Slv 25th Jun 2015		Vinyl Album Jerry Lee Lewis - The Return Of Rock	While something like Herman The Hermit is a flop, Johnny B. Goode and Roll Over Beethoven are so definitive. Remarkable how that rhythm guitar really makes the songs. Unfortunately none of those LPs included his Rockin Pneumonia. But you are in luck chillun: [YouTube Video] Rockin Pneumonia, Sticks and Stones, Roll Over Beethoven, Johnny B. Goode
George Slv 24th Jun 2015		Vinyl Album Sons Of The Pioneers - Cool Water	This looks like the one I bought in the 1960s. Re-recorded versions from 1959. I wasn't satisfied. Voices showing their age. Originals always preferable.
George Slv 23rd Jun 2015		Vinyl Album Nana Mouskouri - Alleluia	A2 and A5 are the great prizes on this album. A5 in a Spanish version is titled Cielito Lindo Como Te Quiero. I don't know how the meanings fit.
George Slv 23rd Jun 2015		Vinyl Album Nana Mouskouri - Alleluia	Then I'm thinking "How I Love You!" Even "That's How Much I Love You". And B2 is like "What can be done?" Or more sophisticated, "Whadifferenceduzitmake". A title needs to sound natural in the language.
George Slv 23rd Jun 2015		Vinyl Album Nana Mouskouri - Alleluia	"What do I love you" is not a valid English phrase. How much do I love you?
