LaurenceD SUBS 3rd Feb 2023		Vinyl Album Various Artists - Rhythm Of Resistance	I entered this as Canadian because of the "Distributed in Canada" info on the back of the sleeve, but ... so far, every example of this LP that I have seen online has that same cover. So it may be the case that this album was sold with the same cover for the USA as well as Canada. I don't know if Shanachie actually did produce separate items specifically for sales in Canada.
LaurenceD SUBS 31st Jan 2023		78 RPM "Fats" Waller And His Rhythm - Cash For Your Trash / That Gets It, Mr. Joe	Added another b-side label with a different co-composer. I'm guessing that the correct attribution would be J. C. Johnson rather than James P. Johnson, since Waller is known to have collaborated with J. C. on some songs; although Waller was also a pupil of James P. Johnson in his early years.
LaurenceD SUBS 31st Jan 2023		Vinyl Album Elizabeth Cotten - Live!	The composer credits are not listed, but the notes mention that A1-A3 & B3 are by Elizabeth.
LaurenceD SUBS 27th Jan 2023		Vinyl Album Skeeter Davis - The End Of The World	Added labels from an earlier pressing. On that copy, track B2 is erroneously listed as "(I Want To Go) Where Nobody Knows Me", composed by Dick Flood - a different song that was recorded by George Hamilton IV around 1962. The 1968 label has the correct title and composers for the song on this LP.
LaurenceD SUBS 23rd Jan 2023		78 RPM "Fats" Waller And His Rhythm - Fat And Greasy / At Twilight	[YouTube Video]
LaurenceD SUBS 20th Jan 2023		Vinyl Album Louis Prima With Gia Maione, Sam Butera And The Witnesses - Prima Show In The Casbar	When my parents moved to the Las Vegas area around 1983, they bought a house a mile or two from the Louis Prima estate at 279 E. Warm Springs Road. The estate looked pretty run-down by then, and I think that there were squatters occupying the property. That second photo at the link, with the dilapidated sign, shows how it looked at that time.
LaurenceD SUBS 16th Jan 2023		Vinyl Album The Moody Blues - Every Good Boy Deserves Favour	Added scan from inner sleeve with (reversed?) photo. My copy is otherwise identical to that of TheDroid.
LaurenceD SUBS 14th Jan 2023		Classical Item Trevor Pinnock - Scarlatti: Sonatas For Harpsichord	This collection was previously released on a CRD compact disc (ca. 1987) with the same cat number, but different artwork and no barcode. See here for images of that earlier version.
LaurenceD SUBS 12th Jan 2023		Vinyl Album Buddy Merrill - The Guitar Sounds Of Buddy Merrill	The existing cover images were from a mono copy, so I created a mono entry and moved the images over there; then added my stereo images to this item. (The back cover slick is actually the same for both) BTW that photo on the cover back is reversed... Buddy played right-handed.
LaurenceD SUBS 12th Jan 2023		Vinyl Album The Everly Brothers - Roots	Added stock labels. Some different composer credits for "T For Texas" and "Shady Grove", here assigned to: D. Everly, P. Everly I see that "T For Texas" is usually credited to Jimmie Rodgers and "Shady Grove" is generally considered traditional.
LaurenceD SUBS 10th Jan 2023		Vinyl Album The Ringers - The Ringers Play For Today's Dance-"In"	After listening to this LP, I have entered the tracks as shown on the labels; the order on the back cover is incorrect. I have no idea who these Ringers are... I suspect that they're some nameless session musicians.
LaurenceD SUBS 28th Dec 2022		Vinyl Album Various Artists - San Diego Folk Festival '74	This seems like a good place to give a salute to Lou Curtiss (1939-2018), founder of the San Diego Folk Festival, and owner of Folk Arts Rare Records.
LaurenceD SUBS 28th Dec 2022		Vinyl Album Les McCann - Much Les	The 3:31 timing (on the cover) for track A1 is a bit off the mark; I didn't time it precisely, but 8:31 is probably more like it.
LaurenceD SUBS 27th Dec 2022		Vinyl Album Aretha Franklin - Amazing Grace	My copy of this has a manufacturing error: sides 3 and 4 both play the side 4 tracks. The weird thing is, the matrix numbers on the labels and runouts match up correctly; and, the grooves and track separations for those sides are cut differently. So it appears that a mistake may have occurred during the mastering process. The labels are identical to leonard's { 1593011 - 1593015 }.
LaurenceD SUBS 26th Dec 2022		Vinyl Album Victor Feldman - Secret Of The Andes	This album was first issued (direct-to-disk) on the Nautilus label around July 1982. From what I can determine, the Palo Alto release was issued in 1983.
LaurenceD SUBS 15th Dec 2022		Vinyl Album Charlie Musselwhite - Times Gettin' Tougher Than Tough	Date re-adjusted, thanks.
LaurenceD SUBS 15th Dec 2022		Vinyl Album [no artist listed] - The LIFE Album Of Presidential Campaign Songs	This album included an insert with lyrics and perhaps additional information about the performers involved; unfortunately I do not have one.
LaurenceD SUBS 15th Dec 2022		Vinyl Album Charlie Musselwhite - Times Gettin' Tougher Than Tough	I bumped the release date to 1979, as I could not find any mention of this in the various trade papers prior to April of that year.
LaurenceD SUBS 13th Dec 2022		Vinyl Album Urbie Green - Twenty-One Trombones	The notes state that Tommy Newsom adapted "The Green Bee" from "The Flight Of The Bumble Bee", intended as a possible theme for the Green Hornet TV series. However a different tune written by Billy May was chosen (and recorded by Al Hirt).
LaurenceD SUBS 13th Dec 2022		Vinyl Album Frances Faye - Relaxin' With Frances Faye	From the Down Beat review: This is a mood music album, all right, but it's the kind of mood that generally comes with three or four jiggers.
LaurenceD SUBS 11th Dec 2022		Vinyl Album Ruby Wright - Dern Ya	These are RIC masters leased to Kapp. I entered the composer credits for A3 & B3 as shown on the labels. On the original RIC singles those songs are credited to: Boudleaux & Felice Bryant.
LaurenceD SUBS 7th Dec 2022		Vinyl Album Peggy Lee - Is That All There Is?	The linked USA release (ST-8-0386) is a Capitol Record Club pressing.
LaurenceD SUBS 2nd Dec 2022		Classical Item E. Power Biggs - Bach Organ Favorites Vol. 2	From the notes: "This recording follows in outline an organ concert that Felix Mendelssohn played in August 1840, at St. Thomas' Church in Leipzig, where Johann Sebastian Bach had been Music Director until 1750 ... Mendelssohn's program at St. Thomas' Church and that warm summer day of 1840 live for us still in the luminous writings of Robert Schumann, who was present for the occasion in the role of journalist ..." (Due to time considerations for the LP, the Passacaglia and Fugue in C minor from Mendelssohn's program is not included in this release, but is available on the previous "Bach Organ Favorites" album)
LaurenceD SUBS 29th Nov 2022		Vinyl Album Peggy Lee - Pretty Eyes	Regarding the composer credit for A3 "Pretty Eyes": label 3151422 refers to the (correct) song that was released earlier by Jimmie Lunceford here. Some other pressings credit Marvin Phillips, but that references a different song with that title released by Marvin and Johnny.
LaurenceD SUBS 26th Nov 2022		Vinyl Album The Photos - The Photos	Track A6 = "Evelyn II" on cover & labels, "Evelyn 11" on lyric insert "Evelyn 11" seems to be the intended title
LaurenceD SUBS 26th Nov 2022		Vinyl Album Lloyd Price - The Exciting Lloyd Price	I created a stereo entry for this album, linked to this entry, moved the stereo scans over there, and added my mono scans to this one. If any of the owners shown here own the stereo copy, you may want to update your settings accordingly.
LaurenceD SUBS 26th Nov 2022		Vinyl Album Ray Peterson - The Very Best Of Ray Peterson	I created a stereo entry for this album, linked to this entry, moved the stereo scans over there, and added my mono scans to this one. If any of the owners shown here own the stereo copy, you may want to update your settings accordingly.
LaurenceD SUBS 25th Nov 2022		Vinyl Album Nat "King" Cole And His Trio - Nat King Cole And His Trio	Date adjusted. BTW that Billboard listing has a couple of typos: "Bobkick" and "I Sued To Love You". :-)
LaurenceD SUBS 24th Nov 2022		CD Album Various Artists - Short Music For Short People	I added a few more images with the track titles, etc. Thanks to those who entered all the info for this item. It's a quite entertaining collection. And given the time limitations, that means no long intros or meandering guitar solos or fade-out endings. You gotta get straight to the point and boom! - outta here
LaurenceD SUBS 21st Nov 2022		Vinyl Album The Flock - The Flock	Added one-sided insert and earlier labels (which do not credit Mr. Davies)
