LaurenceD SUBS 20th Jul 2022		CD Album Nick Lucas - Tip-toe Thru' The Tulips	I have to give credit to the people involved for a great job of transcribing and restoring these recordings. The sound quality is wonderful.
LaurenceD SUBS 17th Jul 2022		Vinyl Album Martha Carson - Journey To The Sky	The "Meet the Girls" sticker on the cover was part of an RCA Victor promotion involving nine LP releases in January 1956 (see image 3032610).
LaurenceD SUBS 17th Jul 2022		Vinyl Album The Everly Brothers - Songs Our Daddy Taught Us	Added alt label scans with deltas. Different A1 composer credit: M. Travis
LaurenceD SUBS 17th Jul 2022		CD Album Procol Harum - A Whiter Shade Of Pale	I don't know the precise release date for this, but I seem to recall having purchased it in 1985 or 1986.
LaurenceD SUBS 14th Jul 2022		Vinyl Album Various Artists - Personality Spots For Your National Guard	Each track contains a spoken endorsement for the National Guard; the Side A tracks (plus B3) also have the artist singing a brief jingle, along the lines of: "Hey, how about it. Hey, gonna shout it. Go with the National Guard" - except for the Les Paul/Mary Ford track, which contains a snippet of "Song In Blue". The labels are oversized, about 4.5 inches, or 11.5 cm in diameter. The "7/61" on the back cover is likely the intended air date. I found a National Guard annual report online for fiscal year ending June 30 1961, which lists most of these artists as having recorded 15-minute shows for broadcast.
LaurenceD SUBS 14th Jul 2022		Vinyl Album Bob Flanigan/John Gray - Togetherness	If the name Bob Flanigan doesn't quite ring a bell... he was a founding member of the Four Freshmen. He sticks to the trombone on this session, no vocals.
LaurenceD SUBS 11th Jul 2022		Vinyl Album Various Artists - 12 Collector's Goodies	This is a "Goodies" album that actually lives up to its name. A collection of early 1960s sides from labels such as Blast, Whale, Cheer, Raven, etc. Unfortunately all of the tracks on the LP are presented in re-channeled stereo. A couple of discrepancies worth noting: - the label erroneously credits track A2 Dorothy to The Excellents; the cover has the correct artist credit. - track B5 is listed as Too Young by The Emblems (side A of Bayfront 108), but it actually plays the b-side from that single: Bang Bang "Shoot 'Em Daddy".
LaurenceD SUBS 11th Jul 2022		Vinyl Album Angela Cartwright - Angela Cartwright Sings	The track titles (and the track order of A2/B2) differ from cover vs. labels, so I have entered the tracks based on the cover, which reflects the correct order; Variant titles on labels: A3 = I Want To Dance With Fred Astaire B1 = Crackerjack B2 = Merry Go Round B3 = Sixtyfour Tadpoles B4 = The Kids In My Block B6 = Never-Never Land Various discographies date this release to 1959. Angela's blog states that she recorded this LP when she was 7 years old (she was born Sep 9, 1952). If that blog is correct, this could have been recorded in late 1959 or in 1960. So I'm not too sure about that release date, since the only trade mag reference that I've found is the Dec 1960 Billboard provided in the notes.
LaurenceD SUBS 11th Jul 2022		Vinyl Album P. J. Colt - P. J. Colt	I added scans (labels and sleeve front) from a Sterling Sound (NY) reference disc. Hope that this is the right place to put them ...
LaurenceD SUBS 7th Jul 2022		Vinyl Album Steve Baron Quartet - The Mother Of Us All	B3 label = God Never Loved For Me Steve Baron passed away in March of 2002, of hepatitis. Regarding the liner notes: Steve and Pete Townshend met and became friends when the Who toured the USA. After an incident during a Who appearance at the Fillmore East in 1969, Steve helped Pete avoid entanglements with the NYPD. Mike Jahn recounts the event here.
LaurenceD SUBS 4th Jul 2022		Vinyl Album Louis Jordan - Somebody Up There Digs Me	The labels on my copy differ considerably between sides 1 & 2. Composer credits only on side 2...
LaurenceD SUBS 2nd Jul 2022		Vinyl Album Various Artists - The Les Brown All-Stars	Bob Gordon, who contributed baritone sax in the Pell and Fagerquist sessions here, was killed in an auto accident on Aug 28, 1955 while on his way to play at a Pete Rugolo concert in San Diego.
LaurenceD SUBS 2nd Jul 2022		Vinyl Album Patsy Cline - Sentimentally Yours	Not sure why they used MCA Coral labels for this pressing; the cat number is from the MCA 1973 reissue series, so I have entered the item accordingly.
LaurenceD SUBS 29th Jun 2022		Classical Item Richard Stoltzman, Richard Goode - Schumann: Fantasiestücke, 3 Romances • Schubert: 2 Sonatinas	This rendition of the Fantasiestücke is from Schumann's manuscript for clarinet and piano. For this recording, Schubert's sonatinas for violin and piano, and Schumann's romances for oboe and piano are performed from transcriptions for clarinet and piano by Richard Stoltzman.
LaurenceD SUBS 27th Jun 2022		Vinyl Album The Challengers - Surfing With The Challengers	Added alternate labels from my "Lloyd Thaxton" copy. Given the different covers, cover titles and slightly different cover cat numbers, I'm wondering if we should separate the two versions...
LaurenceD SUBS 27th Jun 2022		Vinyl Album Ted Lewis - Me And My Shadow	Reissue of Unique 108 (ca. 1956). My copy (scans 3017240-3017243) has ULP-143 on the cover, ULP-108 on the labels. Some pressings have labels with ULP-143 as well.
LaurenceD SUBS 24th Jun 2022		Cassette Album Nirvana - Nevermind	My images (3014718 - 3014724) are from a Columbia House edition (CRC).
LaurenceD SUBS 24th Jun 2022		Vinyl Album Howard Roberts - Mr. Roberts Plays Guitar	Reversed photo on cover :-)
LaurenceD SUBS 18th Jun 2022		Vinyl Album The Miracles - Greatest Hits From The Beginning	Added alternate "T-254" label scans from my copy, except for side 2, which is identical to image 1233917, with "TM-254".
LaurenceD SUBS 12th Jun 2022		Classical Item ORF Symphony Orchestra & Chorus, Lamberto Gardelli - Cherubini: Requiem In C Minor	The reviewers from Audio and High Fidelity both remark on the sub-par sound quality of this recording. Apparently the recording of the Austria Radio broadcast was not supervised by Philips engineers, and so is not up to the usual standards of that label.
LaurenceD SUBS 12th Jun 2022		Classical Item Soloists, Chor Der Festspiele Montreux, Orchestre De Chambre De Lausanne, Vittorio Negri - Domenico Cimarosa: Requiem	The High Fidelity reviewer questions why this was reissued as part of the Living Baroque series: "Just listen to the Recordare or the Agnus Dei; if that is baroque music, Rachmaninoff is medieval"
LaurenceD SUBS 11th Jun 2022		Vinyl Album Gloria Loring - Today	Cover images { 3003879, 3003881 } are from a mono cover with a 'stereo' sticker applied. This LP contained a stereo disc, which can be seen at this listing; so I have moved the images to SE-4499.
LaurenceD SUBS 11th Jun 2022		Classical Item Lorengar, Hoppe, Crass, Hartemann - Charles Gounod: Cäcilienmesse (Messe Solennelle)	Thanks for the info; I've tweaked the entry accordingly.
LaurenceD SUBS 9th Jun 2022		Vinyl Album Shawn Phillips - Contribution	Added scans from a promo copy. Several song title differences between the cover and labels; I would say that this entry's current track listings are the better choices.
LaurenceD SUBS 9th Jun 2022		Classical Item Lorengar, Hoppe, Crass, Hartemann - Charles Gounod: Cäcilienmesse (Messe Solennelle)	Previously released in Germany as Electrola STE 91293, ca.1963. I don't have a date for this version as yet.
LaurenceD SUBS 5th Jun 2022		78 RPM Richard Josè - Silver Threads Among The Gold / When You And I Were Young, Maggie	A good biography of Richard Josè by Tim Gracyk here Includes some information about this record
LaurenceD SUBS 5th Jun 2022		78 RPM Richard Josè - Silver Threads Among The Gold / When You And I Were Young, Maggie	[YouTube Video]
LaurenceD SUBS 5th Jun 2022		78 RPM Mari Jones - There Is No Greater Love / Drifting Blues	Added new images with respect to han enderman And flipped sides based on Billboard Feb 29 ad
LaurenceD SUBS 2nd Jun 2022		Vinyl Album Jimmy Reed - Found Love	Added label scans from my copy; brackets on side 1, oval on side 2.
LaurenceD SUBS 2nd Jun 2022		Vinyl Album Various Artists - Flahooley!	Billboard reported that Capitol went to some trouble and expense to secure the rights to release this soundtrack recording. I think it's safe to say that they did not recoup their investment.
