LaurenceD SUBS 12th May 2021 | | Cassette AlbumRudy 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 AlbumThe 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 7th May 2021 | | Vinyl AlbumVarious 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 | | Classical ItemRoger 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 AlbumLittle 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 AlbumLittle 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 AlbumFlo 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 ItemAlfred 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 AlbumYvonne De Carlo - Yvonne De Carlo Sings | Forgot to mention that the orchestra leader is apparently John Towner Williams.
|
LaurenceD SUBS 14th Apr 2021 | | Classical ItemLuisa 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 AlbumThe 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 AlbumEnnio 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 AlbumVarious 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 AlbumZebedy 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 RPMPaul 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.

LaurenceD SUBS 19th Mar 2021 | | Vinyl AlbumVarious 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
