LaurenceD SUBS 12th May 2021		Vinyl Album Various Artists - Jerome Kern's "Roberta"	Mostly songs from the original 1933 stage production with lyrics by Otto Harbach. The songs "I Won't Dance" and "Lovely To Look At" were introduced in the 1935 film with lyrics by Dorothy Fields.
LaurenceD SUBS 12th May 2021		Cassette Album Rudy Ray Moore - Eat Out More Often	The insert has a 1988 date while the tape has 1998. I'm pretty sure that 1988 is correct.
LaurenceD SUBS 10th May 2021		Vinyl Album The Dave Pell Octet - Plays Rodgers And Hart	Kapp bought the assets of the bankrupt Trend label around January of 1956. The original Trend release of this LP (TL-1501) was released around Sept. 1954
LaurenceD SUBS 10th May 2021		Vinyl Album Harry Arnold And His Orchestra - The Jazztone Mystery Band	Originally issued in Sweden as Metronome MLP 15006 "This Is Harry and the Mystery Band"
LaurenceD SUBS 7th May 2021		Vinyl Album Various Artists - The Littlest Revue	The revue opened on May 22 1956
LaurenceD SUBS 7th May 2021		Vinyl Album Various Artists - Ben Bagley's Shoestring Revue	According to Theatre Arts ca. 1960, the original cast had to be reassembled years after the fact to make this recording.
LaurenceD SUBS 28th Apr 2021		78 RPM The Modernists - I'm Getting Sentimental Over You / Solitude	Both sides also released on Perfect, Oriole, Banner, Romeo.
LaurenceD SUBS 28th Apr 2021		Classical Item Roger Norrington, London Classical Players - Haydn: London Symphonies 101 "Clock" & 102	The normal (non-BMG) cat# is not present on this release, but I think it would be CDC 5 55111 2
LaurenceD SUBS 22nd Apr 2021		Vinyl Album Little Richard - His Greatest Hits	Added scans for cover & labels; labels and back of cover have cat# VJLP-1124. Sounds like mono to me.
LaurenceD SUBS 20th Apr 2021		Vinyl Album Little Richard And Jimi Hendrix - Friends	Although Jimi Hendrix did participate in some of Little Richard's Vee-Jay sessions, the general consensus is that none of those recordings are present on this LP.
LaurenceD SUBS 20th Apr 2021		Vinyl Album Flo And Eddie - Flo & Eddie	Added some alternate labels, which have a few errors, i.e. "Carlos And De Rull", "Marmenoy Hill" and composer "H. Kavian".
LaurenceD SUBS 20th Apr 2021		Classical Item Alfred Brendel - Haydn: 11 Piano Sonatas	For those who appreciate Brendel's interpretations of sonatas by Beethoven and Mozart, but have not heard these from Haydn, I can recommend this collection without hesitation. It has been reissued, but unfortunately not at a budget price. I was lucky enough to find this at a charity resale store.
LaurenceD SUBS 17th Apr 2021		Vinyl Album Yvonne De Carlo - Yvonne De Carlo Sings	Forgot to mention that the orchestra leader is apparently John Towner Williams.
LaurenceD SUBS 14th Apr 2021		Classical Item Luisa Tetrazzini - Luisa Tetrazzini	Hi Gill Sans, I enjoy a good puzzle so... I'm pretty sure the composer in question is Luigi Venzano (1814-1878). The composition is apparently also known as "Grande Valse". I could find no mention of him in my reference books, but there is a page for him at DAHR, plus there is this brief entry from The Violoncello and Its History by Joseph von Wasielewski, ca. 1894, at Project Gutenberg: "Luigi Venzano must be mentioned as one of the first distinguished Italian cellists of this century. He was born in Genoa about 1815, and was solo cellist in the orchestra of the Theatre Carlo Felice, as well as teacher at the musical institute of his native town. He died on January 27, 1878. As a composer he devoted himself to vocal and stage compositions."
LaurenceD SUBS 13th Apr 2021		Vinyl Album The Buggs - The Beetle Beat	I just gave this another listen, and even with my admittedly damaged hearing it sure sounds like 'reprocessed' stereo.
LaurenceD SUBS 13th Apr 2021		Vinyl Album Ennio Morricone - Original Soundtrack From The Film The Mission	Apologies for the single label scan; my copy has that same label on both sides.
LaurenceD SUBS 11th Apr 2021		Vinyl Album Various Artists - Surf War	Looks like an LP on Surf Records borrowed the title and cover photo, but not much of the contents...
LaurenceD SUBS 6th Apr 2021		Vinyl Album Zebedy Colt - I'll Sing For You	Zebedy Colt, born Edward Earle Marsh (1929-2004) More info about him and this LP at queermusicheritage.com I think that this program displays his talents well; he's a quite capable singer and the backing orchestra is impressive.
LaurenceD SUBS 30th Mar 2021		78 RPM Paul Douglas - The Face On The Barroom Floor / Down In The Lehigh Valley	Paul Douglas recorded these sides prior to his Hollywood film career, but he had already experienced success as an actor on Broadway in "Born Yesterday" in early 1946. Up until then he was mainly known as a radio & sports announcer. The Face On The Barroom Floor: [YouTube Video]
LaurenceD SUBS 30th Mar 2021		Vinyl Album Quincy Jones - The Hot Rock	Director Peter Yates gave screen credits to all of the musicians involved, and they are worth mentioning: Clark Terry, Gerry Mulligan, Grady Tate, Ray Brown, Carol Kaye, Frank Rosolino, Chuck Rainey, Tommy Tedesco, Victor Feldman, Mike Melvoin, Clare Fischer, Emil Richards, Jerome Richardson, Bobbi Porter, Dennis Budimir, Milt Holland BTW note the alternate title for the UK release: "How To Steal A Diamond In Four Uneasy Lessons"
LaurenceD SUBS 30th Mar 2021		Vinyl Album Jonathan And Darlene Edwards - The American Popular Song	Some of you might recall this tune playing during the end credits of Kentucky Fried Movie: Carioca [YouTube Video]
LaurenceD SUBS 28th Mar 2021		78 RPM Lionel Hampton - Wizzin' The Wizz / Denison Swing	Hampton plays piano on both sides. On the A side, he plays the keys just like he plays the vibes: [YouTube Video]
LaurenceD SUBS 28th Mar 2021		Vinyl Album Various Artists - Hootenanny Hoot	Performers featured in the film, but not included in the LP: - George Hamilton IV - Judy Henske - Johnny Cash - The Brothers Four
LaurenceD SUBS 28th Mar 2021		Vinyl Album Kay Stevens - Not So Great Songs That Were Left Out Of Great Movies For Obvious Reasons	Note: tracks are listed here in their actual playing order and as shown on labels; the cover incorrectly assigns "Freud" to side 1.
LaurenceD SUBS 26th Mar 2021		Vinyl Album Montezuma's Revenge - Royal Flush Live!	Earlier pressing exists with same cat# but has ℗1977
LaurenceD SUBS 25th Mar 2021		Vinyl Album Jonathan Edwards [Paul Weston] - The Piano Artistry Of Jonathan Edwards	Maybe they were having some fun with this cover
LaurenceD SUBS 24th Mar 2021		78 RPM Benny Goodman Trio - Hot Jazz By Benny Goodman	Added disc 1 scans
LaurenceD SUBS 24th Mar 2021		Classical Item Eugene List, Utah Symphony, Maurice Abravanel - The World Of Louis Moreau Gottschalk	The Eugene List tracks were originally released on Vanguard LP VRS-485 "The Banjo", ca. 1956. The orchestral tracks were originally released on Vanguard LP VSD-2141, ca. 1963. (Note: the timing for track 11 "Grand Tarantelle" shown on the insert/inlay is incorrect; actual CD duration is about 7:26.)
LaurenceD SUBS 19th Mar 2021		Vinyl Album Various Artists - Rosko's Evergreens	One of 2 Domain LPs that I'm aware of. Domain 101 is a collection of dance tunes by Round Robin And The Parleys. I linked this to the Warner Bros. release, although the track order is different. There are some discrepancies between the cover and label, such as: A4: Yvonne Carol / Yvonne Carroll B1: Ooh Poo Pah Doo / Oo Poo Pah Doo B4: Freddie Scott / Fredie Scott B5: Rain drops / Raindrops
LaurenceD SUBS 19th Mar 2021		Vinyl Album Roy Buchanan - Live Stock	Added back cover and label scans. My side 1 label shows "Reelin' And Rockin'" composer/publisher as "Pending".
