(The Washington label was acquired by Riverside in 1961)

LaurenceD SUBS 23rd Jun 2024 | | Vinyl Album[no artist listed] - Ting 1:00 Announcements | The JAC recording studio opened in the late 1950s and the letters stood for Jack (Arnold) And Charlie (Leighton), who ran the operation. In the early days their main business was producing ads and jingles for radio advertising.
|
LaurenceD SUBS 16th Jun 2024 | | Classical ItemWiener Staatsoper, Nicola Rescigno - Verdi: Otello | This recording has been released on some other budget labels; those other releases credit the Dallas Opera (at that time called Dallas Civic Opera). That may be the correct attribution, as Nicola Rescigno was a co-founder of the Dallas Opera.
Makes me wonder if this is one of those semi-legit Italian labels...

LaurenceD SUBS 14th Jun 2024 | | Vinyl AlbumRalph Michele - Laughs To Tide You Over | Apparently Ralph Michele was a cruise director for Italian Line Cruises. He was on the Michelangelo ship, which was in use from 1965 - 1975.
This does sound like it was recorded during an ocean cruise.
|
LaurenceD SUBS 14th Jun 2024 | | Vinyl AlbumSam Cooke - Tribute To The Lady | I have hidden images 2963630 & 2963631 as those belong to the stereo release. After we have created a stereo entry for this album, we can move the images over there.
|
LaurenceD SUBS 6th Jun 2024 | | Vinyl AlbumMose Allison - Creek Bank | Re track A4 composer: early pressings credit Willie Mabon; later pressings credit Mose Allison
Re track B3 title: cover = Moon And Cypress; label = Moon And Cyprus
|
LaurenceD SUBS 6th Jun 2024 | | Vinyl AlbumErroll Garner - Overture To Dawn Volume 4 | I'm not positive about the release date; Volume 3 was reviewed in Down Beat Dec 31 1952, and I think that volumes 3,4,5 were released together, but I cannot confirm that.
|
LaurenceD SUBS 6th Jun 2024 | | Vinyl AlbumJoel Cowan - Songs Heard Through A Keyhole | I entered the track titles per the labels; many differences on the cover listing.
|
LaurenceD SUBS 5th Jun 2024 | | Vinyl AlbumThe Dave Brubeck Quartet - Jazz At College Of Pacific | With no scans, it's hard to be certain about the country for this item, but a 10" release with the 3-13 cat# would almost surely be the USA release. If there are no objections, I will change this to USA and add scans here, rather than create a new entry.
[edit] done, added scans. note the "2-54" mark on the cover back, lower left
|
LaurenceD SUBS 4th Jun 2024 | | Vinyl AlbumTerry Stafford - Suspicion [16 tracks] | Hm, this entry appears to be something of a hodge-podge...
We have the cat# and date for the original USA mono release, but there are 16 tracks instead of 12. The cover images { 503352, 1210241 } look to be from some later reissue. The labels { 2835269, 2835270 } are from an original 1964 stereo pressing.
My stereo copy: my stereo entry
|
LaurenceD SUBS 4th Jun 2024 | | Vinyl AlbumDick Marx - Life Magazine Presents The Original Musical Score From MAG | Front side is instrumental music from the presentation (no narration)
Back side plays a repeating 8-second tone
Apparently this is the soundtrack from a presentation to promote advertising in magazines and specifically LIFE magazine. There was also a one page letter expressing thanks for attending the presentation.
|
LaurenceD SUBS 2nd Jun 2024 | | CD AlbumElvis Costello - My Aim Is True | Added additional scans (mine is a CRC copy)
|
LaurenceD SUBS 31st May 2024 | | Vinyl AlbumThe Chambers Brothers - New Generation | Re track B1 composer credit: some labels list G. Chambers, some (Terre Haute?) list G. Chambers, B. Keenan
|
LaurenceD SUBS 31st May 2024 | | Vinyl AlbumThe 4 Seasons - The 4 Seasons Sing Big Hits By Burt Bacharach / Hal David And Bob Dylan | Added alternate (earlier?) cover and label scans. Hopefully I have them in the correct order.
|
LaurenceD SUBS 29th May 2024 | | Vinyl AlbumShelly Manne - Young Billy Young | In the film, Robert Mitchum sings the title track; Billy Edd Wheeler sings on this soundtrack LP, and on the single as well.
|
LaurenceD SUBS 29th May 2024 | | Vinyl AlbumAllan Sherman - Togetherness | Added scans, including complete front cover (with respect to AllHit45s)
|
LaurenceD SUBS 27th May 2024 | | Vinyl AlbumNeil Diamond - Brother Love's Travelling Salvation Show | I have a copy which matches the images { 497868 - 497871 } from vidman45, and has a little "93047" sticker on the shrinkwrap, covering the 73047 number.
|
LaurenceD SUBS 27th May 2024 | | Vinyl AlbumKenny Loggins With Jim Messina - Sittin' In | Added cover & label scans from PC 31044 pressing, with barcode and "Vahevala" spelling
|
LaurenceD SUBS 25th May 2024 | | Vinyl AlbumPat Collins - Turn On | Growing up in the Los Angeles area, I remember frequently seeing adverts and articles in the L.A. Times about Pat Collins and the Celebrity Club on Sunset where she would perform.
The 1967 film Divorce American Style features a scene at her club.
|
LaurenceD SUBS 23rd May 2024 | | Vinyl Album[no artist listed] - A Hard Day's Night | This release recycles six songs, along with the backing tracks, from the 'Liverpools' LP W 9001
|
LaurenceD SUBS 23rd May 2024 | | Vinyl AlbumHarve Presnell - New Echoes Of The Old West | A couple of notes about the composer credits:
- Tracks A5 & B1(b) have the credit "will advise" - haven't seen that one before...
- I was surprised to see Bartholomew/Domino for track B5, and I can confirm that it's actually the song by Jane Bowers & Dave Guard.
|
LaurenceD SUBS 21st May 2024 | | Vinyl AlbumDon Bowman - Still Fighting Mental Health | Don was the opening performer for Willie Nelson's shows at the time of this release.
Willie and Waylon contributed backing vocals for tracks A1,A3 & A5
|
LaurenceD SUBS 19th May 2024 | | Vinyl AlbumColeman Hawkins And His All Stars - Timeless Jazz | Track A1 is actually Edgar Sampson's "Blue Lou", mis-titled "Blue Love" on label.
|
LaurenceD SUBS 19th May 2024 | | Vinyl AlbumGeorge Harrison - Best Of Three | The artist is not stated on the cover or labels.
These are not outtakes, but the same recordings issued on "All Things Must Pass".
Of interest are the delta numbers (and Alco stamps) in the runouts.
Do you suppose that the folks at Monarch/Alco looked at this and thought that it was some independent release by a band called "Best Of Three" ?
|
LaurenceD SUBS 13th May 2024 | | Vinyl AlbumThe Monroe Brothers - Early Blue Grass Music | Added complete front cover and earlier labels with acknowledgement to 78-Ron
|
LaurenceD SUBS 11th May 2024 | | Vinyl AlbumThe Hanna-Barbera Singers - Winsome Witch In It's Magic | Side 1 actually has four banded tracks: the three listed, plus one lengthy track which is a continuation of the "It's Magic" story.
|
LaurenceD SUBS 9th May 2024 | | Classical ItemThe Paris Philharmonic Orchestra, René Leibowitz - Eric Satie: Socrate | My copy has the cover with the old cat# (ES-510) but with a stereo sticker.
|
LaurenceD SUBS 7th May 2024 | | Classical ItemLeonard Bernstein, Pierre Boulez, Luciano Berio - Selections From "The Female Prisoner" (La Prisonnière) | These appear to be previously issued recordings.
I don't know if these are the same recordings of the Webern and Mahler works that were used in the film.
|
LaurenceD SUBS 5th May 2024 | | Vinyl AlbumHomer And Jethro - Strike Back | The back cover image (1703974) belongs to King 639, perhaps posted here by mistake; hidden for now.
|
LaurenceD SUBS 3rd May 2024 | | Vinyl AlbumMilton Grayson - The Velvet Voice Of Milton Grayson | No composer credits provided, but 8 of these 10 tracks previously appeared on Keen singles (see Milton Grayson on 45cat).
