George Slv 6th Feb 2019		VHS Box Set Memories Of The 30s 40s 50s. The Big Band Years. The Great 48 Shows - Al Gannaway Collection	This was reissued on DVD in 2007. I don't know if they simply copied the VHS to DVD. Most likely they use the same tape master for both the VHS and DVD, so VHS faults are not carried over. I'm interested in Volumes 7,8,9 containing some Teresa Brewer. I have posted images for volume 3, off ebay. The back cover is listing artists for the entire series.
George Slv 28th Dec 2018		CD Album Teresa Brewer - The Jazz Recordings	This was planned for a few weeks ago but was postponed. While the recordings are 1950s the cover photo is from her 1982 Swiss Montreaux Jazz Festival appearance.
George Slv 8th Nov 2018		DVD The Jimmy Dean Show - Season 1 Volume 2	This second set is not being advertised yet but if you call their 800 sales number you can request it. It includes Teresa Brewer's 1963 appearance.
George Slv 6th Oct 2018		CD Album Ronnie Dove - The Complete Original Chart Hits 1964-1969	I came across this at 7digital downloads in Canada. Hearing the mere mp3 samples I thought this was the best sounding digital transfer I've heard online. Two songs were lesser quality including When Liking Turns To Loving. The 16-bit flac songs were $1.89 each so I only bought two and recorded my balance from my own hits LP. There is a flac and mp3 option, no m4a which I would prefer over mp3. The pricing is premium. About his hits, Hello Pretty Girl is a great favorite. I thought Say You and Kiss Away were enchanting reminders of 1961. Seems that by 1964 and 65 with a new punk era starting they did not chart as high as his others. His strength was in redoing old style pop with strong new arrangements, like Dean Martin and Bobby Vinton.
George Slv 26th Sep 2018		Cinema The Old Dark House	Why does it say "El Caserón Misterioso" as English title. The field wasn't meant to be used that way. This was first filmed in 1932 with famous personnel like James Whale and Boris Karloff, as a quirky horror mystery. This one was a project of William Castle of US, using the production services of Hammer in England. Like the first it mixes humor with the story, not very effectively. Poston comes off as an empty head.
George Slv 26th Sep 2018		Cinema The Errand Boy (1961)	The year was 1961. I submitted a correction but it was not made.
George Slv 26th Sep 2018		TV Grand Ole Opry (1955)	With all the variations of TV series and film and video releases this subject is prone to confusion.
George Slv 26th Sep 2018		TV Stars Of The Grand Ole Opry (1955 - 1956)	[YouTube Video] complete TV show [YouTube Video] June Carter sings “Music, Music, Music”
George Slv 13th Sep 2018		Cinema The Errand Boy (1961)	His funniest solo movie in my opinion.
George Slv 11th Sep 2018		TV Roy Orbison And Friends: A Black And White Night (1988)	Emmy-Lou Harris was not in the cast. The show is not continuing, it was a Special. There should be a category like that here. I submitted these corrections but they are not made.
George Slv 27th Aug 2018		TV Roy Orbison: Black And White Night 30 (2017)	I can't tell from IMDB that it was shown on TV in US. How long was it, how much of the DVD content was on?
George Slv 27th Aug 2018		TV Roy Orbison And Friends: A Black And White Night (1988)	Review Barbara Orbison's gift to her husband to create a definitive stage performance. It collects several major musical stars to accompany Roy, although they do not do any solo performances. For example J.D. Souther recorded his "You're Only Lonely" inspired by "Only The Lonely", but he is only in the background with others as backup singers. Bruce Springsteen is in the foreground doing harmony vocals next to Roy and playing guitar. During some guitar breaks he and James Burton have an extended lead guitar duel. With so much star power together, everyone is having a whale of a time in this dynamic show. Barbara filmed it in black and white for the sake of the nostalgic effect. Aired on the Cinemax premium network, and released on video shortly. In 2017 Roy's sons created an extended reedited release with many extras on disc. It is cropped to 16:9, which is fine for distant shots but loses image in closeups. 5 people found this review helpful. ✔︎ Helpful Review?
George Slv 27th Aug 2018		TV Roy Orbison: Black And White Night 30 (2017)	This should be under disc releases. The TV special was1988, did not have 30 in the title, and was ~55 min. It was not a TV Series either.
George Slv 24th Aug 2018		Vinyl Album Various Artists - 24 Groovy Greats	I guess they did a lot of shortening of these songs. My recording of Spanish Lace is ~1:28 instead of 2:20.
George Slv 5th Aug 2018		78 RPM Kay Starr - I'm The Lonesomest Gal In Town / Share Croppin' Blues	It looks like Lonesomest Gal was written in 1912. Recorded by Ella Fitzgerald and Kay in the 1940s. Then Teresa Brewer got the idea to include it in her 1951 Snader telescriptions (TV Videos).
George Slv 3rd Aug 2018		78 RPM Kay Starr - You've Got To See Mama Ev'ry Night / Mercy, Mercy, Mercy	I don't know what to make of the disc number and date. The A song is included on the Capitol Collectors Series CD before You Were Only Fooling. There is a UK issue currently on sale at ebay, which could be added here too. This official video says 1948 [YouTube Video] Some sources say 1947.
George Slv 24th Jul 2018		CD Album Jimmy Velvit [Mullins] - The Original Jimmy Velvit	Added CD notes scans explaining the recording story. Phil York is the only person with a photo of the two Jimmys together, in his studio.
George Slv 21st Jul 2018		CD Album Jimmy Velvit [Mullins] - The Original Jimmy Velvit	Review These recordings are the "lost master" types, here issued by recording engineer Phil York in 1994. They are not limited to 1964 but progress to the 1970 area. From #15 they are the late 60s style like Jimmy Webb or Gentle On My Mind. 16 and 20 were issued under the pseudonym James Bell, and 20 charted #51 Country. His first recordings in Dallas in 1961 were made by DJ Jim Lowe (of Green Door fame). Some were local hits. On #04 the high voice backing is Bobby Hendricks. #01 is an alternate take of his regional hit. It was also recorded by Jimmy Velvet, who was Jimmie Tennant and had been Mullins' manager. "Something" is the Beatles' hit. I got into this subject from remembering We Belong Together a bit from the radio in 1963, which was by Tennant. Explanations of the identities were given by Phil York when he sold some CDs on ebay. Otherwise nobody knew about this Jimmy Velvit, and the CD was withdrawn by Collectables after a couple years. 5 people found this review helpful. ✔︎ Helpful Review?
George Slv 19th Jul 2018		78 RPM Teresa Brewer - Ol' Man Mose / I Beeped When I Shoulda Bopped!	She performed Mose on Ed Sullivan twice. In the Feb.1950 appearance Sullivan says she "made history" last year with that recording. I'd dearly like to know what that meant. There were only 10 positions on the charts then, so we don't know how well it did. Must have had an effect in New York. Her first performance was August 1949, which would be good to find. In 1958 Sullivan had a 10th anniversary show which included a clip of her 1949 appearance. That episode is viewable at the Paley Center in New York. That's an assignment for any ambitious person, and see if you can capture the image. Here's the video of 1950 on YT: [YouTube Video] The video here from April 2015 says Not Available for me.
George Slv 15th Jul 2018		TV The Life And Times (1995 - 1997)	I'm not sure of the end date but don't know of any episodes past 1997. Here's a sample of the Conway Twitty biography [YouTube Video] Youtube from lindalovesal.
George Slv 10th Jul 2018		TV The Yellow Rose (1983 - 1984)	This was Cybill Shepherd's break-through role in television.
George Slv 8th Jul 2018		TV Linehan (1998 - 1999)	I'm not sure of end date but only know of episodes in 1998 and 1999. Linehan previously had a talk show named City Lights.
George Slv 6th Jul 2018		Vinyl Album Minneapolis Symphony Orchestra, Antal Dorati - Four Great Waltzes By Johann Strauss	Likely 1955-58 before stereo. If anyone would like my copy let me know, I expect to discard it sometime.
George Slv 5th Jul 2018		78 RPM Sons Of The Pioneers - Tumbling Tumbleweeds / Moonlight On The Prairie	This original version of Tumbling Tumbleweeds can be found on this Hall Of Fame series CD. The sound is clean. It's on some other collections as well. It turns out I already have a flac purchase.
George Slv 4th Jul 2018		CD Album Nancy Sinatra - The Essential Nancy Sinatra	What would it take to get Warner to use her hit single version of Friday's Child. It's ridiculous that we don't get the hit version.
George Slv 25th Jun 2018		78 RPM Sons Of The Pioneers - Cool Water / Tumbling Tumbleweeds	You're right RD. TT on this video is 1937. See Bob Nolan. Thanks for the link to the 1934. For a major hit it is hard to find. To me the 1937 rerecording does not sound as genuine, tho more polished. Where to get the 1934?
George Slv 24th Jun 2018		78 RPM Sons Of The Pioneers - Cowboy Camp Meetin' / Tumbling Tumbleweeds	THIS was RCA's rerecording of Decca's Tumbling Tumbleweeds. RCA reused it for single reissues in future decades. They also reissued it in 1947 for some reason. It is actually being incorrectly used in a 1934 hits album online.
George Slv 21st Jun 2018		78 RPM Sons Of The Pioneers - Cool Water / Stars And Stripes On Iwo Jima	This subject is loaded with errors. So they only recorded it in 1945, and that was used for the two 1947 releases? Then the 1945 recording was used for all 45 reissues. My Golden Greats 45 is WRONG when it says "from the "Cool Water" album. On Nolan's site he gives a 1959 recording by Tommy Doss. This must be from the Cool Water LP? By the way is there a recording of Whoopie-ti-yi-yo (Get along little dogies) other than that LP?
George Slv 21st Jun 2018		78 RPM Sons Of The Pioneers - Cool Water / Stars And Stripes On Iwo Jima	More clarity. The Iwo Jima side charted #4 Country, Cool Water did not. Did the 1947 issue use this same Cool Water?
George Slv 21st Jun 2018		78 RPM Sons Of The Pioneers - Cool Water / Chant Of The Wanderer	This 1947 record at Youtube from althazarr [YouTube Video] In the new RCA arrangement in the chorus the bass voice goes up and down alone. RCA used this one on reissues for years. This record did not chart for RCA.
