laviolet 20th Feb 2024		CD Album Petula Clark - Living For Today	"The Rainbow" is actually a new song written by Petula and Tony Hatch, who wrote most of her hits from the 1960s.

laviolet 2nd Feb 2023		CD Album Various Artists - Jazzy Funky New Orleans	The James Booker tracks are covers from the Duke-Peacock catalog.

laviolet 11th Aug 2022		CD Album Fats Domino - The Very Best Of Fats Domino 1963-1965	Track sources ABC-Paramount single 10444: 1, 2 ABC-Paramount single 10475: 3 ABC-Paramount single 10484: 5 ABC-Paramount single 10455: 6 ABC-Paramount single 10512: 7, 8 ABC-Paramount single 10531: 9 ABC-Paramount single 10567: 11, 13 ABC-Paramount single 10584: 14 ABC-Paramount single 10596: 15 ABC-Paramount single 10631: 16 ABC-Paramount LP 455 Here Comes Fats Domino: 1-6, 8 ABC-Paramount LP 479 Fats on Fire: 10-12 ABC-Paramount LP 510 Getaway with Fats Domino: 15-18
laviolet 9th Aug 2022		CD Album Fats Domino - The Very Best Of Fats Domino 1963-1965	Review Title is a bit misleading since a "very best" of Fats would include the classic sides he made for Imperial Records between 1949 and 1963, when he left that label for ABC-Paramount. The ABC sides, recorded between 1963 and 1965, are the ones featured here. Instead of building on Fats' success recording in New Orleans, ABC sent him to Nashville. That's not as incongruous a move as you might think, considering Domino's clear country influences. Unfortunately, the glossier treatment with strings and vocal chorus produced only one top 40 hit in "Red Sails in the Sunset." The later sides like "Heartbreak Hill" and "Wigs" are more like the Fats the public had come to know, but by that time the British Invasion had swept many American R&B artists off the charts. The collection closes with a nice reworking of his 1956 hit "When My Dreamboat Comes Home." Out of print but not difficult to find.

laviolet 8th Jul 2022		CD Album Linda Hoover - I Mean To Shine	Review In the spring of 1970, 19-year-old Linda Hoover entered a New York studio to record her debut album for Roulette Records. Gary Katz was in charge as producer, while his protegés Donald Fagen and Walter Becker handled arrangements and contributed five songs. Other participating musicians included guitarists Denny Dias and Jeff "Skunk" Baxter. Ultimately, label boss Morris Levy declined to release the finished album after finding he would control copyright on only three of the 11 songs. Becker, Fagen, Dias, and Baxter formed Steely Dan two years later. Fifty years after that Hoover's record was finally released, restored from her quarter-inch tape copy. Okay, that's the history, but what about the music? Excellent. Hoover was a formidable talent; I agree with a review that likened her to Mary Hopkin. Becker and Fagen's five songs contain what became Steely Dan's signature quirky chords and cryptic lyrics. Hoover's three compositions provide a counterpoint, especially the lovely closer "The Dove." Highly recommended. [YouTube Video] [YouTube Video] 2 people found this review helpful. ✔︎ Helpful Review?
laviolet 13th Jun 2022		78 RPM Roy Byrd And His Blues Jumpers - Bald Head / Hey Now Baby	Here's "Bald Head." [YouTube Video]
laviolet 9th Mar 2022		78 RPM Earl King - Those Lonely, Lonely Nights / Baby You Can Get Your Gun	Fats Domino doesn't play on this record; it's actually Huey Smith. The bogus credit is a gimmick for which label owner John Vincent became notorious. To my knowledge, the only time Domino played on someone else's record was Lloyd Price's "Lawdy Miss Clawdy."
laviolet 29th Dec 2021		CD Album Dr. John - The Atco / Atlantic Singles 1968-1974	This CD collects the tracks released as singles, promos, and EPs during Dr. John's tenure with Atco Records from 1968 to 1974. If you have the albums from that period, then you have all but a few of the tracks. The rarities appearing here for the first time on digital are: Mono version of "The Patriotic Flag-Waiver" (misspelled as "Flag Waver" in CD listing) Mono two-part version of "I Walk on Guilded Splinters" (misspelled as "Gilded" in CD listing) Single edit of "Iko Iko" "Wang Dang Doodle," a 1972 single-only release "A Man of Many Words," a Buddy Guy track (Dr. John plays piano) Rear cover lists "The Patriotic Flag Waver" as the short version but the booklet lists the long version, which is how it appears on the disc. "Big Chief," credited in the notes to "Quezerque Gaines," was written by Earl KIng. Worth having if you're looking to complete your collection of Dr. John's formative period.

laviolet 31st Aug 2020		78 RPM Joedy Lea - The Devil Paid Me (With A Mother-in-law) / Sweet Little Baby	"Joedy Lea" is actually New Orleans country singer Joedy Leavins, generally known as "Jody Levens." His records were released with his name spelled as Levins, Leavins and Leviens. He recorded the original version of “Mardi Gras Mambo” in 1954. That song became a Carnival staple when later recorded by Art Neville's first band The Hawketts.

laviolet 8th Apr 2020		Vinyl Album The Olympics - The Official Record Album Of The Olympics	The 1984 Olympics were the first games to be heavily commercialized, with products designated as the "Official [whatever] of the Olympics." Any parties using "Olympics" without sanction risked being hauled to court. The cover title was Rhino's wry trolling of the greedy organizers.
