LaurenceD SUBS 2nd Oct 2022		Vinyl Album Joe Hinton - Funny (How The Time Slips Away)	All tracks sound like mono (not reprocessed stereo) to me.
LaurenceD SUBS 2nd Oct 2022		Vinyl Album The Ikettes - Soul The Hits	I have listed the tracks as shown on the cover and labels. However the actual playing order of tracks is as follows: A1 / I'm So Thankful A2 / Da Do Ron Ron A3 / Camel Walk A4 / Can't Sit Down A5 / Lonely For You A6 / Not That I Recall B1 / Peaches 'n Cream B2 / Sally Go Round The Roses B3 / Don't Feel Sorry For Me B4 / He's Gonna Be Fine B5 / Nobody Loves Me B6 / It's Been So Long
LaurenceD SUBS 27th Sep 2022		Vinyl Album Woody Herman - Road Band	Cover credit: The Woody Herman Herd Label credit: Woody Herman and his Orchestra In the notes Woody refers to the band as The Third Herd.
LaurenceD SUBS 25th Sep 2022		Vinyl Album Various Artists - Tennessee	Sorry about the masking tape - I tried, but it was stubborn ...
LaurenceD SUBS 25th Sep 2022		Vinyl Album Various Artists - New Orleans: Our Home Town	A1 artist credit on label: Fats Domnio :-)
LaurenceD SUBS 17th Sep 2022		Vinyl Album Thee Midniters - Thee Midniters	Added scans for cover back and labels. Regarding the CH-666 number on the labels, I wonder if somebody made a mistake when doing the layout - that happens to be the same cat# for their "Land Of A Thousand Dances" single: CH-666
LaurenceD SUBS 17th Sep 2022		Vinyl Album Willie Tidwell - Willie Tidwell	Willie Tidwell (a band, not an individual) was one of the first bands to bring punk rock to the Salt Lake City club scene. They played frequently at The Roxy (248 S. Main). Here are some recollections from band member Henry Reese, from a 1989 issue of SLUG magazine: slugmag 6/89 I don't have a precise date for this record release (their only one I think), but based on Reese's comments it would seem to be from 1978 or 1979. Also I don't know if it had a cover - my copy is in a plain 10" sleeve. There seems to be very little information about this release on the 'net.
LaurenceD SUBS 15th Sep 2022		Vinyl Album Wardell Gray - Way Out Wardell	All tracks were originally released on Modern 10" 78s, split across two sides as the titles indicate. Correct recording date info (from jazzdisco.org): - February 27, 1947: -- Sweet Georgia Brown (as Sweet Georgia Bop/Sweet Georgia Brown) -- Just You, Just Me (as Just Bop) - April 29, 1947: -- Blue Lou; One O'Clock Jump - Summer 1949: -- Tenderly (Erroll Garner solo)
LaurenceD SUBS 12th Sep 2022		Classical Item Chancel Choir Of The Congregational Church Of San Mateo - Missa Brevis	The included program insert is for a performance on May 20, 1962. It is not stated whether this recording is from that performance, but it seems likely, so I have dated the LP based on that assumption. Here is the entire program as listed in the insert: - Prelude: Chorale in E Major (Cesar Franck) - Invocation by Dr. Jerry W. Trexler - Missa Brevis (Giovanni Pierluigi de Palestrina) - Mass in G (Franz Schubert) - Offertory: Chorale-Prelude: With Joy I Await the Lovely Summertime (Brahms) - American Jazz Mass (Frank P. Tirro)
LaurenceD SUBS 9th Sep 2022		CD Album Rolling Stones - Live In London 1963-65	Track titles and composer credits entered 'as-is', typos and all ...
LaurenceD SUBS 2nd Sep 2022		Classical Item Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, Sir Thomas Beecham - The Abduction From The Seraglio By Mozart	The mono version on Angel was released in 1957. Pretty good recording and clean pressing. Very enjoyable performance of this seldom-recorded opera. One bonus is the inclusion of all the spoken dialogue, which was often omitted in recordings from this era.
LaurenceD SUBS 31st Aug 2022		Vinyl Album Various Artists - Top 10 Hits Original Artists	All tracks are 'rechanneled' stereo
LaurenceD SUBS 31st Aug 2022		CD Album The Residents - The King And Eye	I have listed the CD title in the same way that most of the trade mags and discographies show it. I was tempted to use the Unicode character U+1F441 for 'eye', but the website won't display it, perhaps because it resides in plane 1.
LaurenceD SUBS 31st Aug 2022		Vinyl Album Blues Magoos - Psychedelic Lollipop	I have a copy with the same cover and labels as shown here, but it's actually a stereo pressing with runouts: [ 2/61096 A 1 / 2/61096 B 1 ]. Apparently a number of these are known to exist, see here. So if you have a mono copy, you might want to check it. BTW mine is stamped "promotional copy / not for sale" and was given to station WSCR.
LaurenceD SUBS 28th Aug 2022		Vinyl Album Tito Puente - Top Percussion	Posted cleaner cover scans as suggested by Upsetter FC
LaurenceD SUBS 21st Aug 2022		Classical Item Anatole Fistoulari, Fabienne Jacquinot - Poulenc: Les Biches / Aubade	Original release came in a sleeve with liner notes on the front. My copy is in a generic "MGM Records Classical Reprints" sleeve.
LaurenceD SUBS 21st Aug 2022		CD Album Randy Newman - The Randy Newman Songbook Vol. 1	My copy is missing the slipcase with the barcode...
LaurenceD SUBS 15th Aug 2022		Vinyl Album [no artist listed] - 21 By Ad-Staff, Inc.	Ad-Staff was formed in 1957. No composer credits per track are given, but after looking up some copyright info I can confirm that most of them have lyrics by Don Quinn and Martin Sperzel and music by Henry Russell. Also based on those copyright dates, the tracks are presented in roughly chronological order, starting in 1957 (beer) and ending in 1959 (Pacific Airlines, Dodge Trucks). They are very catchy advertisements; these guys knew what they were doing. Martin Sperzel went on to write other notable jingles, see here
LaurenceD SUBS 12th Aug 2022		Vinyl Album Pete Seeger - The Folksinger's Guitar Guide	I added an alternate back cover; same cat#, dated 1961. The earlier issues, ca. 1956, had differing prefixes & numbers, e.g. FQ 8354, FP 354, CRB 1 (box). I suppose that they should be separate entries, but I'm not sure.
LaurenceD SUBS 9th Aug 2022		CD Album Michael Nesmith - ... Tropical Campfire's ...	The apostrophe in the title, which was quoted verbatim from the notes (see insert), was removed in later releases.
LaurenceD SUBS 9th Aug 2022		CD Album Michael Nesmith - The Prison	I like the fact that Michael credits each kindergarten class member for their artwork.
LaurenceD SUBS 9th Aug 2022		Classical Item John Lill - Rakhmaninov: Etudes-Tableaux Op. 33 & Op. 39	Regarding the numbering of the etudes in Op.33: Rachmaninoff composed nine pieces for the set, and six were published during his lifetime. Nos. 3 & 5 were published 5 years after his death, and No. 4 in A minor was transferred to Op.39 No.6
LaurenceD SUBS 6th Aug 2022		78 RPM Louis Jordan And His Tympany Five - Saturday Night Fish Fry (Part 1) / Saturday Night Fish Fry (Concluded)	Added alternate b-side scan (3048873); the a-side label of this pressing is identical to the scan 1149785
LaurenceD SUBS 6th Aug 2022		Vinyl Album Jimmy Smith - Christmas '64	Scans are from a later pressing (late 1965?) with '64 covered by a sticker on the front, and removed from the back.
LaurenceD SUBS 6th Aug 2022		Vinyl Album Billy Boyd - Twangy Guitars	Changed artist from "Bill Boyd" to "Billy Boyd", in order to separate this one from the 'Cowboy Ramblers' guy. As it turns out, the guitarist featured here is Jerry Cole.
LaurenceD SUBS 3rd Aug 2022		Classical Item Frederick Moyer - Edward MacDowell, Clara Schumann	This was an interesting experiment in recording two piano concertos without the participation of a live orchestra. For the MacDowell recording, the orchestra is provided by a Music Minus One recording (used with permission). For the Clara Schumann recording, the orchestral backing is created from sampled sounds (except for the second movement, in which the accompaniment is provided by a solo cello, performed live). Frederick Moyer includes some interesting comments about the process of using the sampling for the Schumann work, including what he considers the pros and cons of recording pieces using this method. I think that the results, at least for the Schumann, are quite impressive. The technology in 2007 had improved considerably since the time when I had dabbled in scoring some chamber works using MIDI tools back in the 1990s.
LaurenceD SUBS 28th Jul 2022		Vinyl Album Anna Black - Meet Anna Black	Here's an interview where Anna (Barbra Anne McMillan) talks about the making of this album: swanfungus interview
LaurenceD SUBS 28th Jul 2022		Classical Item Mischa Maisky, Philharmonia Orchestra, Giuseppe Sinopoli - Elgar: Cello Concerto, Enigma Variations	Hm, not sure if this release should be USA, or maybe international. It is made in USA...
LaurenceD SUBS 23rd Jul 2022		Vinyl Album Advertising - Advertising Jingles	I came to this page and could not see any images. I thought that there was a bug until I realized that my ad blocker was engaged... :-)
LaurenceD SUBS 20th Jul 2022		Vinyl Album Various Artists - Jump Around	Added some images and some dates from trade mags, both Dec 1964. Anybody know the source of the 1963 release date for the "Jump Around" version of this LP?
