LaurenceD SUBS 24th Jul 2020 | | Vinyl AlbumVarious Artists - Five-String Banjo Greats | McGuinn's Banjo Cantata is a (brief) arrangement of Bach's "Jesu, Joy Of Man's Desiring".
Hm, seems to me that he inserted that melody into a certain Byrds song...

LaurenceD SUBS 22nd Jul 2020 | | Vinyl AlbumDick Powell - The Wonderful Teens | Each track begins with narration by Dick Powell
- on B5 Dick Powell narrates and sings
Bob Grabeau credited as Bob Grabow on label
Side 2 track order on the label is correct, as opposed to the sleeve

LaurenceD SUBS 17th Jul 2020 | | CD AlbumBlur - Bustin' + Dronin' | Thank you for the explanation
|
LaurenceD SUBS 15th Jul 2020 | | 78 RPMErrol Garner - Rosalie / Everything Happens To Me | After some more digging around, it does seem that Garner's work with Gaskin and Smith is most likely from 1949, so I've adjusted the date.
|
LaurenceD SUBS 14th Jul 2020 | | Cassette AlbumBee Gees - I've Gotta Get A Message To You | The insert does not mention the fact that tracks 7, 9 & 10 are solo releases.
|
LaurenceD SUBS 14th Jul 2020 | | Classical ItemThe Contemporary Chamber Ensemble, Arthur Weisberg - Varèse: Offrandes/Intégrales/Octandre/Ecuatorial | Varèse also used the name Edgar at times, so we'll have to deal with that variation...
|
LaurenceD SUBS 14th Jul 2020 | | 78 RPMErrol Garner - Rosalie / Everything Happens To Me | Does anyone have some info about this Portrait label? I only know of two releases, with all 4 sides coming from the same Erroll Garner session (Leonard Gaskin on bass, Charlie Smith on drums).
ARLD lists it as circa 1945, but jazzdisco.org dates these sessions as being Aug 1949. I'm setting this to 1945 for now...
|
LaurenceD SUBS 13th Jul 2020 | | 78 RPMHamp Hawes - Bopera Part 7 / Unfinished Bopera | Moved Mike's cleaner label scan to the top, though I cannot say which format may have been earlier.
This particular bunch of jazz records that I acquired are fairly clean as far as the playing surfaces go, but the previous owner had a habit of affixing those hole-reinforcement stickers onto the record labels, presumably to keep them from slipping.

LaurenceD SUBS 12th Jul 2020 | | Cassette AlbumStevie Ray Vaughan And Double Trouble - Couldn't Stand The Weather | Note that the track "Tin Pan Alley" is listed on the tape as "Roughest Place In Town"
|
LaurenceD SUBS 10th Jul 2020 | | Vinyl AlbumThe Bachelors - Presenting: The Bachelors | Added a scan of that regular front cover that Trainman mentioned.
|
LaurenceD SUBS 10th Jul 2020 | | Vinyl AlbumThe Romancers [L.A., 60s] - Let's Do The Swim | Second album by The Romancers; also the first (and apparently only) release on the Selma label (a subsidiary of Del-Fi, whose address was 6277 Selma Ave. Hollywood).
Release date estimated based on delta numbers. When I first looked at the runout info, I wondered if the labels had been put on the wrong sides. But they are correct.
One title track discrepancy on B5: label has "Peanut Butter And Jam", cover has "Dog Paddle". No telling which is correct, since these are all instrumentals, as was the case with the "Slauson" LP. The reason why both LPs contain only instrumentals is kind of a long story, but it boils down to a legal dispute between the Del-Fi and Magic Circle labels over the rights to Max Uballez (he had released a record as Maximilian on Magic Circle, and then another one as Max Uballes on Donna). IIRC the end result of the dispute was that Max was prohibited from singing on any releases for five years.

LaurenceD SUBS 7th Jul 2020 | | Vinyl AlbumThe Don Ellis Orchestra - 'Live' At Monterey | The 1966 Monterey Jazz Festival took place on Sept 16-18 (Fri-Sun). Don Ellis performed on Sunday afternoon.
This LP was my introduction to Don Ellis and is still one of my favorites.
|
LaurenceD SUBS 7th Jul 2020 | | CD AlbumMike Nichols And Elaine May - Mike Nichols And Elaine May Examine Doctors | On the original LP, track 3 of 12 was "The Von Brauns At Home", which is omitted from this release. Reason is that when Wernher von Braun heard that track, he threatened to sue. It was then agreed to exclude it from all subsequent releases.
Here is the track that caused all the fuss: [YouTube Video]
|
LaurenceD SUBS 2nd Jul 2020 | | Cassette AlbumVarious Artists - Baseball's Greatest Hits | I have entered the tracks as listed on the insert and tape sides, however... there seems to have been a disconnect or change of plans for the format of this tape release. The tape actually plays all 23 tracks as on the CD release shown here. Side one ends with Sam and Dave's "Knock It Out Of The Park", and side two begins with Terry Cashman's "Play-By-Play".
|
LaurenceD SUBS 1st Jul 2020 | | 78 RPMTeddy Edwards - Teddy's Tune / Wonderful Work | Sounds likely, Mike; set accordingly
|
LaurenceD SUBS 1st Jul 2020 | | 78 RPMTeddy Edwards - Teddy's Tune / Wonderful Work | This Billboard ad from April 16, 1949 lists four Teddy Edwards releases in the 25000 series. I wonder if the 26000 series was a continuation of that series. I have found no specific info on this release/series so far...
|
LaurenceD SUBS 28th Jun 2020 | | 78 RPMLee Konitz With Gerry Mulligan Quartet - Lover Man / Lady Be Good | Something went wrong with the composer credit on "Lover Man". Same thing happened on the 45 rpm EP release.
|
LaurenceD SUBS 21st Jun 2020 | | Classical ItemBerlin Philharmonic Orchestra, Lorin Maazel - Symphony No. 8 In B Minor "Unfinished"/Symphony No. 4 In C Minor "Tragic" | The German release has date 7/60 on back cover

[YouTube Video]
|
LaurenceD SUBS 20th Jun 2020 | | Vinyl AlbumErroll Garner - Penthouse Serenade | Also released with the same catalog number but titled "Erroll Garner Plays Vol. 1". I think that is probably a later pressing.
|
LaurenceD SUBS 18th Jun 2020 | | Cassette AlbumVarious Artists - Newport Broadside | This would have been issued by RCOA some time after the fact, late 1960s or so.
No credits for performers or composers as far as the tracks on this cassette. I'll list the performers here:
Bob Dylan And Pete Seeger: 1
Tom Paxton: 2,3,4
Bob Davenport: 5
The Freedom Singers: 6,7,8
Jim Garland: 9,10
Ed McCurdy: 11
Phil Ochs: 12,13
Peter La Farge: 14
Joan Baez And Bob Dylan: 15

LaurenceD SUBS 14th Jun 2020 | | Classical ItemWind Soloists Of The Chamber Orchestra Of Europe - Beethoven: Music For Wind Instruments | All 4 works in this collection were composed in the 1790s; some were published well after the fact, hence the misleading opus numbers.
Some additional details:
- the quintet is catalogued as WoO 208, also referenced as Hess 19; it exists in fragmentary form, the version performed here being a reconstruction by Leopold Alexander Zellner from 1862.
- the rondino is catalogued as WoO 25.

LaurenceD SUBS 12th Jun 2020 | | CD AlbumBlur - Bustin' + Dronin' | Thank you kei masaru; next to that date is this information: 2000-2-24 まで
Would this indicate the date scheduled for deletion of this item from the catalog?
|
LaurenceD SUBS 10th Jun 2020 | | CD AlbumBlur - Bustin' + Dronin' | Added images from a copy that I picked up second-hand. It is missing the obi and the sheet of stickers.
|
LaurenceD SUBS 6th Jun 2020 | | Vinyl AlbumRay Charles - Genius Hits The Road | I am estimating that this Capitol pressing is from late 1964; if someone has more precise information that would be great.
|
LaurenceD SUBS 6th Jun 2020 | | Vinyl AlbumLittle Richard - Here's Little Richard | Added scans for back cover variant (8508 Sunset Blvd) and labels (Stereo-Natural Sound). Despite what the labels say, these are the same mono masters; runout info:
- side 1: SP-LP-2100-SIDE 1
- side 2: SP-LP-2100-SIDE 2

LaurenceD SUBS 3rd Jun 2020 | | CD AlbumMarvin Gaye - Marvin Gaye And His Girls | Thanks RF
|
LaurenceD SUBS 2nd Jun 2020 | | CD AlbumThe Band - The Band | The barcode seems to indicate a reissue from the 1990s

LaurenceD SUBS 2nd Jun 2020 | | Vinyl AlbumThe Seeds - The Seeds | Some composer credits on the side 2 label differ from those on the cover:
