LaurenceD SUBS 14th Mar 2020		78 RPM Leo Diamond - Poor Butterfly / This Love Of Mine	Probably released in 1947
LaurenceD SUBS 1st Mar 2020		CD Album The Beau Hunks And The Metropole Orchestra - Our Relations	Track 35, which is not listed, contains a snippet of dialogue from the film.
LaurenceD SUBS 26th Feb 2020		78 RPM Tommy Dorsey Family (Mountain Branch) - Friendship / Chattanooga Choo Choo	According to the Aug 7 Billboard ad, the a-side features Jo Stafford and The Pied Pipers (not credited on label). There is a story concerning the Hollywood Hillbillies track. It seems that Victor recorded their version of "Tim-Tayshun" (along with Chattanooga Choo Choo) to compete with the popular Red Ingle recording on Capitol 412. Catalog number 20-2336 was assigned and promo copies were sent to DJs on June 12, 1947. Within one day, Capitol contacted Victor with a strong warning, and the release was pulled. So apparently, promotional copies of that release did exist, although I have yet to see one. I'm guessing that the b-side on this release is the same recording as that on 20-2336. Incidentally on the runout of this b-side, it looks like two of the digits were scratched out, e.g. "20-23▓▓B" and overwritten with "55".
LaurenceD SUBS 22nd Feb 2020		Cassette Album Dick Dale - Tribal Thunder	After the end of the Tribal Thunder track on side 2, there is an additional snippet of "Misirlou".
LaurenceD SUBS 17th Feb 2020		12" Single Roy Orbison - She's A Mystery To Me	Looking at this again, I wonder if it should be Virgin Europe...
LaurenceD SUBS 28th Jan 2020		CD Single Ernie Ashworth - Talking Back And Foolin You	The track order shown on disc is correct; the insert is wrong. So I took the track titles from the disc, and the composer credits from the insert. These tracks seem to be excerpted from a (similar-looking) full-length CD album called '35th "Commemorative" Album' on C.J.A. Records
LaurenceD SUBS 16th Jan 2020		Vinyl Album Loyd Hadachek - Certified Purchase Plan	The disc contains instructions for sales personnel as to use of the "certified purchase plan" to aid in securing the sale of a vehicle. I was surprised to see the Monarch delta numbers on this item.
LaurenceD SUBS 16th Jan 2020		Cassette Album Frank Zappa - Sheik Yerbouti	Track titles taken from insert back. Alt track titles from lyrics pages: - 8: We've Got To Get Into Something Real - 9: Bobby Brown - 13: Tryin' To Grow A Chin - 14: City Of Tiny Lights - 18: Yo' Mama
LaurenceD SUBS 14th Jan 2020		78 RPM Martin Y Malena - Amigo Amigo / Por Una Joven	Martin Becerra (José Martín Becerra Ochoa) and Magdalena (or Marta Elena) “Malena” Pérez Tejada
LaurenceD SUBS 12th Jan 2020		Vinyl Album Buck Owens - Buck Owens	Note that there are six banded tracks on side 2. Track B5 includes "When I Hold You", "Higher, Higher And Higher" and the interview mentioned in the liner notes.
LaurenceD SUBS 7th Jan 2020		78 RPM The Saltairs - Good Night, Mister Moon / I May Learn To Forget Some Day	From San Francisco Cable Car Chorus - archive: San Francisco, as Northern California's "Mother of Barbershopping," gave birth to another important addition to the barbershopping family in 1954. On May 15 of that year Marin Chapter was awarded its charter by the San Francisco Chapter, at Marin's first parade of quartets. Does anyone remember that the Marin chorus was first called the "Saltairs?"
LaurenceD SUBS 7th Jan 2020		Vinyl Album Stan Ross And His Friends From The Neighborhood - My Son The Copy Cat	Added more scans, and composer credits. The track order listing of B1 & B2 differs between the cover and the label; listening reveals that the label is correct, so I have adjusted the track order for this entry.
LaurenceD SUBS 7th Jan 2020		Vinyl Album The Righteous Brothers - Souled Out	Hi VinylFan, I think that I have it sorted out now. The original stereo entry had no images; sometime thereafter various folks submitted images from their mono LPs. So I have: - created a new mono entry (V-5031) here and moved the mono scans over to that one - kept your scans here and added my cover scans as well I cannot reassign ownership settings, so each member will have to account for their own status as far as that goes (attn: mrvica and soultwinz).
LaurenceD SUBS 30th Dec 2019		CD Album Frank Zappa - Mystery Disc	Added scans, including some from the insert booklet that (are not from discogs and) come a bit closer to the actual shade of orange - although my scanner cannot quite reproduce the day-glo intensity of the original.
LaurenceD SUBS 26th Dec 2019		Vinyl Album Hank Thompson And The Brazos Valley Boys - Cheyenne Frontier Days	All tracks recorded live at Cheyenne Frontier Days, July 26-28, 1962 Track titles taken from labels. Alternate titles for rodeo events on cover: A1 = Rodeo Opening A3 = Brahma Riding A6 = Calf Roping A9 = Indian Dancing B4 = Bull Dogging B7 = Bronc Riding
LaurenceD SUBS 21st Dec 2019		Vinyl Album Ernestine Anderson - Hot Cargo	Recorded in Stockholm, Oct 25, Nov 16,18,19, 1956 Released in Sweden as "It's Time For Ernestine", Metronome ‎MLP 15015 Not sure, but that looks kinda like pianist Thore Swanerud on the cover.
LaurenceD SUBS 20th Dec 2019		Vinyl Album Neil Young / Neil And The Shocking Pinks - Everybody's Rockin'	I just looked at the personnel list on the inner sleeve again and noticed that Larry Byrom (yes, the Steppenwolf guy) is credited... as the piano player (?!). I'll have to go back and watch Solo Trans again and see what he's doing...
LaurenceD SUBS 14th Dec 2019		78 RPM Nickelodeon - Ghost Town Melodies	Pretty tough to date this, as the ghost town attraction was around from the 1940s and for decades thereafter, and things didn't change much over time. I went there as a toddler around the late 1950s and have a vague recollection of those 'nickelodeon' machines. They had a number of these band piano contraptions, which were similar to player pianos, but included additional instruments to create the effect of a one-man band. Sad to say, but by now most if not all of them have fallen into disrepair and have been auctioned off.
LaurenceD SUBS 10th Dec 2019		78 RPM Benny Goodman Sextet - Flying Home / Rose Room (In Sunny Roseland)	Note: "Homeward Bound" on V Disc 731 is an alternate take of "Flying Home" from the same session, also featuring a solo by Charlie Christian.
LaurenceD SUBS 5th Dec 2019		Vinyl Album Nina Simone - Little Girl Blue	Added alternate label scans from my copy, which BTW has a side 1 and a side B. :-)
LaurenceD SUBS 20th Nov 2019		Vinyl Album Dave "Baby" Cortez - The Whistling Organ	After listening to this, I'm pretty sure that those b-side tracks do not feature Dave "Baby" Cortez. The same tracks can be found (uncredited) on various budget LP releases.
LaurenceD SUBS 20th Nov 2019		Vinyl Album Ruth White - Flowers Of Evil	Apologies for the doodling on the cover.
LaurenceD SUBS 20th Nov 2019		Cassette Album Misha Knight - I Am A Gorby Man	El Paso Times May 29, 1990: Another Washington entrepreneur, Misha Knight, will be selling summit T-shirts and a cassette on which he is the star. Knight wrote all the songs on the cassette and that he and the band recorded them after drinking three bottles of vodka. Associated Press / AP-NR-05-30-90 1614EST / AM-Summit-LafayettePark / Misha Knight, who emigrated from the Soviet Union in 1978 because he ``did not see a future there,'' said he came to this summit to show support for the growing friendship between the United States and his homeland. He also was selling Gorbachev T-shirts _ $15 each _ and an $8 cassette tape featuring himself singing ``I Am a Gorby Man,'' and ``Give Peace a Hand,'' among other tunes. El Paso Times June 1, 1990: No U.S. entrepreneur has a greater interest in the political longevity of Gorbachev than Misha Knight, the Washington manufacturer and hawker of Gorby T-shirts. Knight, who immigrated to the United States from the Soviet Union a dozen years ago and changed his name from Misha Nete, is making the rounds from Lafayette Park to the National Press Club to the summit press center at George Washington University with a suitcase of his shirts.
LaurenceD SUBS 17th Nov 2019		Vinyl Album Various Artists - The Famous Standards Of Maceo Pinkard	According to the Billboard ad, this album was also available in 45 rpm and EP formats. I see some of the 45 single releases out there; I have yet to see any EP from this label. The mono LP appears to have been issued with number 125.
LaurenceD SUBS 13th Nov 2019		78 RPM Bob Crosby - On The Atchison, Topeka And Santa Fe / On The Night Train To Memphis	Second of two releases of "On The Atchison" on RM 114. The first featured an additional Bob Crosby track (with Peggy Lee) on the B-side, "It's Anybody's Spring". Some discussion about why Peggy Lee is on these releases here
LaurenceD SUBS 9th Nov 2019		78 RPM Johnny Walker - Personally, I Love You / Under The Spell Of Your Kiss	Benny Goodman can be heard on "Personally"; there is a short clarinet solo near the end.
LaurenceD SUBS 28th Oct 2019		78 RPM Ted Vesely, Lee Countryman, Morty Corb, "Smokey" Stover, Ralph Harden, Bill Wood - Peter And The Wolf / Tin Roof	No info to be found for this release, or the label for that matter. I did run across something in Billboard March 11, 1950, an article on p.47 "Dixieland Pace in Hwd. Upbeat" about the popularity of trad jazz bands in Los Angeles clubs: "... Ted Vesely is at Glendale's Tom-Tom". [update - The Tom Tom club had two locations: 6266 Sunset Blvd. in Hollywood, and 806 E. Colorado Blvd. in Glendale. International Musician July 1950 lists a new Tom Tom record label having the same address as the Glendale club] There is one more Tom Tom release (1002) featuring the same lineup.
LaurenceD SUBS 24th Oct 2019		78 RPM Betty Williams - Man Of Galilee / Golden Bells	Man of Galilee accompanied by accordion; Golden Bells accompanied by piano
LaurenceD SUBS 22nd Oct 2019		Vinyl Album Hank Thompson And His Brazos Valley Boys - Songs Of The Brazos Valley	Sorry about the masking tape. Not sure about the actual release date of the 12" version. The latest of the added tracks (A1,A2,B1,B2) would be Simple Simon from single F3188, ca. 7/55.
LaurenceD SUBS 5th Oct 2019		Cassette Album Miles Davis - Doo-Bop	Scans from Columbia House copy.
