GimmeVinyl 13th Feb 2024		78 RPM Gordon MacRae And Gisele MacKenzie - My Buick, My Love And I / My Buick, My Love And I	One of the Mellomen was Thurl Ravenscroft.. yeah the guy who sang "You're a mean one, Mr. Grinch" as well as the voice of Frosted Flakes Tony the Tiger.
GimmeVinyl 7th Feb 2024		Vinyl Album Sanford And Son - Sanford And Son	I had a well used copy of this LP.. it was hilarious! I'd love to find another.
GimmeVinyl 3rd Nov 2023		Vinyl Album The Beatles Featuring Tony Sheridan - The Beatles Featuring Tony Sheridan	I had a copy of this... A long, long time ago. I think that I bought it at K-mart. Played the hell out of it in my teen years. Neither I, nor my trusty Emerson portable with the BSR plastic plattered changer were very kind to it at the time. Never thought of it as being particularly collectable back then.
GimmeVinyl 18th Oct 2023		12" Single The Look (Detroit) - You Can't Sit Down	I was wondering.. how does one stretch a song by The Dovells that runs at 2:19 into a jam that lasts nearly 5 minutes? Obviously, they play the song twice, and throw in 5 guitar solos. Still a rockin' version of a already infectious groove, it's a welcome addition to my collection.
GimmeVinyl 7th Oct 2023		Vinyl Album Roger Waters - The Pros And Cons Of Hitch Hiking	One of my favorite album jackets... Eric Clapton on lead guitar.
GimmeVinyl 1st Oct 2023		78 RPM The Marvellets - Please, Mr. Postman / The Wanderer	Crazy! Must be rarer than hen's teeth...
GimmeVinyl 29th Sep 2023		12" Single The Look (Detroit) - You Can't Sit Down	Yes! I went and pulled the trigger on this one.. and it is near mint in the original Quality Records sleeve. It's definitely a piece of Detroit rock history to me. I got it from Hello Records in Lincoln Park, Mi., and I'd like to thank Dylan who was very helpful and knowledgeable! He also says he has the LP this is from in stock.
GimmeVinyl 29th Sep 2023		12" Single The Look (Detroit) - You Can't Sit Down	Tomorrow I'll be picking this one up.. I'd seen it for sale on another site. It's at a record shop not far from my house. Not saying where, nor how much at this time, as I've been looking for this for... Decades.
GimmeVinyl 18th Sep 2023		Vinyl Album Nirvana - MTV Unplugged In New York	4 years later, no one has bothered to fix my original pics.. I shall have to tend to that very soon! I'm looking at Discogs, and original pressings, like the one I own in VG+ condition are going for $200.. and up! Even damaged copies are going for $100.. man, that's crazy! In my brother's collection is a lavender colored pressing that is/was a exclusive from Target.. maybe I'll fetch that copy from my mom's house, and sell my original...
GimmeVinyl 8th Sep 2023		Vinyl Album Nat "King" Cole And His Trio - Nat King Cole And His Trio	Added original style 1949-53 labels with "33 1/3" and "MICROGROOVE" on bottom. The first set of labels are of the September 1953 repress.
GimmeVinyl 8th Sep 2023		Vinyl Album Nat "King" Cole - Unforgettable Songs By Nat "King" Cole	Ok, Charlie 45 ... Time for an update! The "target" label with the odd cat# is... Drum roll please.. a Capitol record club pressing from 1968.. these were contract pressings, and in fact, just may have been pressed by MCA at Pinkneyville, if there is a hand written "2" in the deadwax. I've also seen a copy with a yellow variation of Capitol's infamous orange label, cat# SM-357, with no mention of it being part of the Star Line. This was from 1972.
GimmeVinyl 8th Sep 2023		Vinyl Album Nat King Cole - Unforgettable	If these selections are the original recordings as like on the original 1954 release of the "Unforgettable" Capitol LP, cat # T-357, then none of these songs were conducted by Ralph Carmichael. I have seen this a couple of times now. The 1961 stereo "remakes" for the "Nat King Cole Story" LP were conducted by Ralph Carmichael, and such, the Star Line 45 rpm singles are the 1961 recordings. See the listing for the 10 inch LP H-357 for track particulars.
GimmeVinyl 8th Sep 2023		Vinyl Album Nat King Cole - Unforgettable	Is this the LP where they changed the jacket artwork to the photograph as in the T-357 Star Line LP? No... That wouldn't happen until 1959.
GimmeVinyl 7th Sep 2023		Vinyl Album Nat King Cole - Unforgettable	Unless these tracks were from the 1961 recordings for the LP box set The Nat King Cole Story, SWCL-1613, none of these recordings have Ralph Carmichael conducting the orchestra... See the listing for H-357 "Unforgettable" 10 inch LP for the particulars.
GimmeVinyl 7th Sep 2023		Vinyl Album Nat King Cole - Unforgettable	Ok... The original mono non Star Line LP version was available from 1954 through 1962 with the various Capitol labels the company used between those years. In '62, with the advent of this Duophonic version, the mono LP was also given the Star Line moniker, even though the LP itself wasn't changed at all... Even kept the old T-357 catalog number. Since the cat # is the same as the original "Unforgettable" LP, it is my belief that it should be counted as a repress of the original mono LP.
GimmeVinyl 7th Sep 2023		Vinyl Album Nat King Cole - Unforgettable	The nice and clear "circle band" labels are what I believe to be the original 1954 pressing labels. Next, the turquoise label without the silver band, stating "LONG PLAY" only, came out in mid 1956. The top label, with the shadow on it, states "LONG PLAY HIGH FIDELITY". This is from 1957. Capitol discontinued their regular mono catalog in 1968, so the "target" Star Line would be the last "unadulterated" mono LP version of this classic album.
GimmeVinyl 7th Sep 2023		Vinyl Album Nat King Cole - Unforgettable	Ok, how about a pair of "62" labels from Scranton, I believe... And then a pair of "SL67" Star Line Target labels...
GimmeVinyl 3rd Sep 2023		Vinyl Album Nat "King" Cole And His Trio - Harvest Of Hits	Only one track on side B was recorded with an orchestra conducted by Frank DeVol, B4, "Nature Boy". This was recorded on August 27, 1947 at Radio Recorders, Hollywood. The rest are all King Cole Trio, without orchestra. In order, we have.. B1, Kee-Mo Ky-Mo, recorded on August 15, 1947 at Radio Recorders, Hollywood. B2, Gee Baby, Ain't I Good To You, recorded on November 30, 1943 at C.P. Macgregor, Los Angeles. B3, The Frim Fram Sauce, recorded on October 11, 1945 at WMCA studios, New York City.
GimmeVinyl 3rd Sep 2023		78 RPM King Cole Trio - Sweet Lorraine / Embraceable You	That.. Is an awesome website, xiphophilos! Very informative! Now, I've never been to Los Angeles, but I find it ironic that the Decca studios address on Melrose was next door from the building that Capitol Records bought in '49 to become their recording studio at 5515 Melrose. I may be going out on a limb here, but I'm guessing this is when Capitol may have started using tape for recording sessions, if indeed the studio was set up with the latest in recording equipment..
GimmeVinyl 31st Aug 2023		78 RPM King Cole Trio - Sweet Lorraine / Embraceable You	My question is... Is this the same recording as Decca 8520 from 1941, or did the King Cole Trio record another version for Capitol? Not having the Decca pressing, I cannot compare the two...
GimmeVinyl 31st Aug 2023		78 RPM The King Cole Trio - I Realize Now / Gee Baby Ain't I Good To You	Hmm... I'm going to have to listen to this on YouTube... I'm thinking the King Cole Trio side is the same as Capitol 169.. Of course, the first track is the B side of the Capitol 78...
GimmeVinyl 31st Aug 2023		78 RPM The King Cole Trio - Gee, Baby, Ain't I Good To You / I Realize Now	Ok, my friend... So, the original pressing should have the "42" style label. I have that Capitol labels.pdf downloaded on my phone.. it is an excellent reference source! However.. since this pairing was released in September of '44, it seems to be, at least to me, that the "42" label would have been relatively shortlived.. depending on when the "45" label replaced the "42"....
GimmeVinyl 31st Aug 2023		78 RPM The King Cole Trio - Gee, Baby, Ain't I Good To You / I Realize Now	Question, W.B.lbl... if the Scranton Record Co. pressed Capitol releases going back to the beginning in 1942, were they using the anvil mark on the deadwax since the beginning? Or was this something added after the sale to Capitol? There seems to be some confusion whether this pairing is a repress or not...
GimmeVinyl 24th Jun 2023		78 RPM Garry Moore - Culture Corner	Yes, this is the "I've got a secret" Garry Moore...
GimmeVinyl 28th Apr 2023		Vinyl Album Lester Paul Orchestra - Tenor Saxophone Mood Collection	Now, there's something that you'd never see on a US RCA Victor LP album jacket!
GimmeVinyl 27th Mar 2023		Vinyl Album Foo Fighters - Foo Fighters	Can someone tell me why the value of this LP has skyrocketed? I bought a copy back in '95.. only played it a couple of times.. traded it off last year. And no, I didn't think to see if it was really worth anything. Sold prices on Discogs run from $112 to $400.... Really?!
GimmeVinyl 8th Mar 2023		Vinyl Album Ron Geesin And Roger Waters - Music From The Body	My friend Paul owns a copy of this... It's a wild LP!
GimmeVinyl 8th Mar 2023		Vinyl Album Pink Floyd - Relics	I had this LP many moons ago... It had basically the same jacket as the '71 US Harvest release.
GimmeVinyl 8th Mar 2023		Vinyl Album Pink Floyd - Relics	Pink Floyd on Regal Zonophone.. now THAT is cool!!
GimmeVinyl 20th Feb 2023		Vinyl Album Pete Johnson And Albert Ammons - 8 To The Bar	I have to agree with lorangrecords on this.. Billboard printed the release of the 7" 45 RPM box sets.. available as a 2 disc EP set or a 4 disc singles set on December 9, 1951. This LP must have been released after the New Year.
