LaurenceD SUBS 3rd Apr 2023		CD Album Dinah Washington - First Issue: The Dinah Washington Story (The Original Recordings)	[YouTube Video]
LaurenceD SUBS 1st Apr 2023		Vinyl Album Various Artists - The Best Of The Biggest	Added cover & labels from the earlier United/Superior pressing. Runouts on my copy: CS-1056-1 / CS-1056-2
LaurenceD SUBS 29th Mar 2023		Cassette Album Iggy And The Stooges - Raw Power	I added a scan from an insert with a different barcode; it has an additional "02" at the end. Otherwise everything is the same as the existing entry. Shall I create a separate one?
LaurenceD SUBS 24th Mar 2023		78 RPM Harry (The Hipster) Gibson - Boogie Woogie in Blue	The cover is kinda tattered, no spine. And the second disc is missing. Better than nothing, I reckon.
LaurenceD SUBS 22nd Mar 2023		Vinyl Album Carl McKnight - The Devil's Out Tonight	I'm not sure what to make of those liner notes, but it might be worth mentioning that the band had previously released two LPs on Ranwood, and apparently that record company still owed them money from a Nov 1975 contract.
LaurenceD SUBS 22nd Mar 2023		Vinyl Album Cy Touff - Miff Mole	The album notes state that four of the tracks were recorded by Miff Mole in 1949, although they do not specify which tracks. It's apparent that tracks B1-B4 are from the Premium singles PR-852 and PR-853 from 1950. And I think that those tracks were actually recorded in March of 1950.
LaurenceD SUBS 22nd Mar 2023		Vinyl Album Chuck Thompson - Country Guitars	From liner notes: "A staff guitarist for the Guitar Division of the Baldwin Piano and Organ Company" - I see that the Baldwin guitar and amp are prominently displayed. :-)
LaurenceD SUBS 22nd Mar 2023		Vinyl Album Kirk Kelly - Go Man Go	From Corporate Rock Sucks: The Rise and Fall of SST Records by Jim Ruland (2022): "Kelly's record bears the distinction of being the least like any other album on the label because of its utterly conventional sound."
LaurenceD SUBS 22nd Mar 2023		Vinyl Album Lester Flatt And The Nashville Grass - The One And Only ... Lester Flatt	Tentatively dating this to 1970, 'tho the actual release could have been early 1971.
LaurenceD SUBS 13th Mar 2023		CD Single The Stranglers - Grip '89	Sorry, the disc scan didn't turn out so well. I'll see if I can improve it...
LaurenceD SUBS 11th Mar 2023		Vinyl Album Astronaut John H. Glenn, Jr. - The First American Manned Orbital Flight	Regarding the music: I remember Bruce Herschensohn (1932-2022) as a political commentator and a U.S. senate candidate in California, but I didn't know that he composed music as well.
LaurenceD SUBS 11th Mar 2023		Vinyl Album Kay Starr - The Hits Of Kay Starr	I think that the scans from the Duophonic release (DT-415) belong in a separate entry.
LaurenceD SUBS 9th Mar 2023		CD Album Stuff Smith - The Chronological Stuff Smith 1939	The quartet recordings with Mary Osborne on guitar are the standouts for me.
LaurenceD SUBS 9th Mar 2023		78 RPM Nan Blakstone - Private Collection	I have the three discs, but not the album cover (which can be seen here)
LaurenceD SUBS 5th Mar 2023		Vinyl Album Various Artists - Rhythm Of Resistance	Sounds good to me, Fokeman, thanks.
LaurenceD SUBS 2nd Mar 2023		Vinyl Album Phyllis Diller - Born To Sing	Contains her, um, distinctive rendition of Satisfaction.
LaurenceD SUBS 2nd Mar 2023		Vinyl Album Phyllis Diller - Are You Ready For Phyllis Diller?	Added scans for cover with mono cat no. (V-15031). My labels are the same as those from Bgray1 { 3117469, 3117470 }.
LaurenceD SUBS 28th Feb 2023		Classical Item Various Artists - Searle: Symphony No. 1 / Seiber: Elegy For Viola, Three Fragments	Matyas Seiber was killed in an auto accident in September 1960, around the time this record was released.
LaurenceD SUBS 25th Feb 2023		CD Album Various Artists - Beethoven: Complete Overtures / Minuets, German Dances, Contredanses	Thanks PhilMH, I've removed the 1993 date from this entry.
LaurenceD SUBS 22nd Feb 2023		Vinyl Album Cal Tjader - Cal Tjader's Latin Concert	Followers of the Giants-Dodgers west coast rivalry will appreciate the nod to Orlando Cepeda in the title of track A1.
LaurenceD SUBS 20th Feb 2023		Vinyl Album Various Artists - Street Scene	First release was a 12-side, 12" 78 rpm album, Columbia Masterworks MM-683 (ca. 1947) First LP was Columbia Masterworks ML 4139 (ca. 1949)
LaurenceD SUBS 20th Feb 2023		Vinyl Album Paul Kelly - Stealing In The Name Of The Lord	Album title on labels: 'Paul Kelly' Warner Bros. purchased the Happy Tiger masters, and 9 of these tracks subsequently appeared on the Dirt album.
LaurenceD SUBS 18th Feb 2023		78 RPM Josef Marais And His Bushveld Band - Songs Of The South African Veld	Added scans from the inside and back of the cover, somewhat damaged. I only possess the cover, no discs.
LaurenceD SUBS 16th Feb 2023		Vinyl Album Judy Garland With John Ireland - The Letter	My scanned copy has the envelope affixed to the cover, but the enclosed letter is gone. You can view the letter at thejudyroom.com.
LaurenceD SUBS 13th Feb 2023		78 RPM Robert Clary - Johnny Get Your Girl / Put Your Shoes On Lucy	I have entered the sides as indicated by the labels; although the advert is pushing "Put Your Shoes On Lucy".
LaurenceD SUBS 13th Feb 2023		Classical Item Yo-Yo Ma, Kenneth Cooper - Bach: Sonatas For Viola Da Gamba & Harpsichord	From Stereo Review (11/83) by Stoddard Lincoln: While it is possible to achieve a balanced sound in Bach's sonatas for violin and harpsichord and for flute and harpsichord using modern instruments, it is impossible to do so in the gamba sonatas using a modern cello. All you hear is the lush string sound with a frustrating tinkle in the background. If cellists insist on playing these works, let them use a piano for accompaniment so we poor listeners can at least hear both parts! Having said that, Stoddard did praise the performances by Ma and Cooper.
LaurenceD SUBS 13th Feb 2023		CD Album Spirit - Clear	This release is nearly identical to another one, except for the barcode. I scanned a sticker from the case, not sure what it indicates.
LaurenceD SUBS 13th Feb 2023		CD Album Spirit - Chronicles 1967	The building in the front photo is the Wayfarers Chapel in Rancho Palos Verdes.
LaurenceD SUBS 13th Feb 2023		CD Album Spirit - Twelve Dreams Of Dr. Sardonicus	I copied the composer credits as-is, e.g. "J. Furgeson".
LaurenceD SUBS 8th Feb 2023		Vinyl Album Andre Girard - Le Voyage En Ballon	This film was released in the USA retitled as "Stowaway in the Sky" with added narration by Jack Lemmon. This LP contains the original music without the narration.
