plerner SUBS 28th Jul 2024		Vinyl Album Tommy McLain - I Ran Down Every Dream	This is a superb album by Tommy. Supporting musicians include Van Dyke Parks, Elvis Costello, Warren Storm, Augie Meyers, and a host more.
plerner SUBS 25th Oct 2023		Vinyl Album Jackie DeShannon - You Won't Forget Me	Jackie DeShannon recorded "Try to forget him" in 1961, although her version didn't appear until this "You won't forget me" album came out in 1965. P J Proby put out a single on Liberty of "Try to forget her", in 1961. Proby's song is ponderous and recalls Roy Orbison. Jackie's is bright and suggests Bobby Vee. Proby's says it was written by Dick Glasser. DeShannon's says that she wrote the song. Despite vastly different arrangements and a change of gender, they are the same song! Now, who can work that one out?
plerner SUBS 23rd May 2023		Cassette Album Natalie Imbruglia - Left Of The Middle	My copy has the same tracks, and number, but different illustrations. I have uploaded the cover.
plerner SUBS 4th Jul 2022		Vinyl Album Ragnar Bjarnason - Ragnar Bjarnason	Track B3 is an Icelandic-language version of "Put a little love in your heart".
plerner SUBS 30th Jun 2022		CD Album Cilla Black - Cilla 1963-1973 The Abbey Road Decade	Track 3-10, "Only you can free my mind" is indicated on this release as Composer Unknown. In fact it was written by Jackie DeShannon, whose own demo of the song was released on the Ace album "Break-A-Way" (2008).
plerner SUBS 28th Jun 2022		Vinyl Album The Supremes - A Bit Of Liverpool	Who, I wonder, is Gallico who "wrote" this version of "House of the Rising Sun"?
plerner SUBS 28th Jun 2022		Vinyl Album The Beatles - Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band	I have just noticed (after very many years) that my copy of this album has the title "Sgs. Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band" on the spine of the gatefold sleeve. Is this a misprint, or a rarity, and should I be excited?
plerner SUBS 20th Feb 2022		CD Album Jackie DeShannon - Don't Turn Your Back On Me / This Is Jackie DeShannon	This is a strange one. The same CD was released on the same label, with almost identical packaging, in 2005. However it is also advertised as a new release, and bears the copyright date of 2022 on the cover and insert.
plerner SUBS 8th Feb 2022		CD Album Sammi Smith - Looks Like Stormy Weather · 1969-1975	A fairly sombre set of reflective songs, though the previously unreleased "Desperados waiting for a train" is amazing.
plerner SUBS 13th Apr 2021		CD Album Bob Fox And Stu Luckley - Box Of Gold	Their original record company failed to make their (excellent) albums available into the CD era, and so Bob and Stu re-recorded the material almost identically, note for note. Sounds a bit familiar, Taylor Swift?
plerner SUBS 6th Apr 2021		Cassette Album John Lennon - Rock 'n' Roll	I wonder what Lennon might have thought about his work appearing on Music For Pleasure?
plerner SUBS 17th Jan 2021		CD Album De Dannan - How The West Was Won	Magic Marmalade: yes, definitely.
plerner SUBS 15th Jan 2021		Vinyl Album Linda Mason - How Many Seas Must A White Dove Sail / Linda Mason Sings Bob Dylan	This has to be one of the first albums devoted to covers of Bob Dylan's songs (although some might question his authorship of "Corinna").
plerner SUBS 22nd Aug 2020		Vinyl Album Dolly MacMahon - Dolly	A more modern-looking, purple label uploaded. A lovely album.
plerner SUBS 29th Apr 2020		CD Album The Blue Sky Boys - Presenting The Blue Sky Boys	"Oh marry in time" is an interesting variation of the traditional song also known as "Scarborough Fair".
plerner SUBS 29th Apr 2020		CD Album Maggie Lewis Warwick - ... But I Know What I Like	see also Margaret Lewis.
plerner SUBS 31st Dec 2019		Vinyl Album Fairport Convention - Liege And Lief	"Leige" and Lief. Tut, tut....
plerner SUBS 15th Dec 2019		CD Album Margaret Lewis - Reconsider Me	Frequent co-writer Laura Nell Martin is Ram label owner Mira Smith, see https://www.45cat.com/record/1720&ei=1 - and songwriters of track 20, Nadine and Nolene, were twin sisters from Sims, Arkansas.
plerner SUBS 6th Dec 2019		Vinyl Album Pamela Polland - Pamela Polland	Thank you Hideki Watanabe for providing the production and musician details. I am assuming that these were on an insert with the original album; I have just bought a nice second hand copy and I was wondering who the musicians were.
plerner SUBS 27th Nov 2019		CD Album Various Artists - Christmas Motown	It's both lazy and disrespectful for albums such as this not to include composer / songwriter credits. The "project co-ordinator", Paul Fernandes, gets himself a mention however.
plerner SUBS 18th Nov 2019		Vinyl Album Polly Niles - Sunshine In My Rainy Day Mind	"If I let you" was covered by Carol Woods on the 1970 Ember 45 EMBS 288.
plerner SUBS 16th Nov 2019		CD Album Various Artists - Country Boy´s Dream	I think mine came with "Now Dig This".
plerner SUBS 24th Sep 2019		Vinyl Album Miriam Makeba - Miriam Makeba	A reissue of London HA 2332 minus two tracks.
plerner SUBS 21st Nov 2018		CD Album Alison Krauss - Forget About It	Thanks ppint. On the spine of the packaging it says RRCD 0465 (on both spines actually). In the insert it says Rounder 0465. On the disc it says "Made in Holland". I think we have different editions of the same album.
plerner SUBS 10th Oct 2018		Cassette Album The Everly Brothers - Love Hurts	Must be one of the worst cover designs ever.
plerner SUBS 1st Sep 2018		78 RPM Leslie Sarony - Ain't It Grand To Be Blooming Well Dead	I have uploaded an image of the side 2 label autographed - can anyone detect if this is the real thing?
plerner SUBS 31st Aug 2018		78 RPM Jack Payne And His B.B.C. Dance Orchestra - The Moochi / My Heart Belongs To The Girl Who Belongs To Somebody Else	Robert Sielle and Annette Mills, the composers and "supervisors" of "The Moochi", were husband and wife. Annette Mills was later well known for her television appearances with Muffin the Mule.
plerner SUBS 27th Aug 2018		Vinyl Album Sacha Distel - Swing With Sacha Distel	Apologies for lack of further information. I have the sleeve but not the record. If anyone would like to have the sleeve please PM me and I can send it.
plerner SUBS 24th Aug 2018		CD Album Jackie DeShannon - The Early Singles 1956-1962	I've done some research around track 7, "I need lovin'", which leads me to believe that it was probably written by Roger Miller, rather than by Jackie.
plerner SUBS 20th Jul 2018		CD Album Fairport Convention - What We Did On Our Saturday	Some strong performances on this live double album. Chris While's singing on "The Deserter", in particular, is sensational.
