SeverlyWarpedRecord 9th Dec 2021 | | Vinyl AlbumBilly Ward And His Dominoes - Sea Of Glass | Is this seriously Billy Ward doing gospel? Never thought he’d be the one to sing gospel

SeverlyWarpedRecord 9th Dec 2021 | | Vinyl AlbumThe Ink Spots - The Ink Spots | Is this Charlie Fuquas group?
|
SeverlyWarpedRecord 5th Dec 2021 | | Vinyl AlbumZig Ziglar - Biscuits, Fleas, And Pump Handles | Stuff like this is why I love thrift stores. A very interesting record, and it’s signed too!
I think this record is a little rare, it’s not on here or discogs. I’m not sure of the date or the country it was made in. If I had to guess, this was probably released in the early 60s, I just can’t see something like this being made in the 50s or any later than 1967. It was probably pressed in America but was given out at speeches that Zig made, but if somebody can figure out if this was a speech made in Winnipeg or Canada than it’d be a Canadian issue most likely

SeverlyWarpedRecord 2nd Dec 2021 | | 78 RPMThe Voxpoppers - Wishing For Your Love / The Last Drag | I’d love to find a copy of this eventually. The image is from the copy sitting in the jukebox at Half Moon in Lockport Manitoba, just outside of Winnipeg. They have a broken 1938 78 jukebox with all the original records and this record is just sitting on the platter of the jukebox like it’s nothing
|
SeverlyWarpedRecord 29th Nov 2021 | | Vinyl AlbumNeil Sedaka - Rock With Sedaka | Lots of people think this album is self titled, but Sedaka himself calls it ‘Rock With Sedaka’ and it says that over the RCA logo
|
SeverlyWarpedRecord 12th Nov 2021 | | 78 RPMBill Haley - Dance With A Dolly (With A Hole In Her Stockin') / Rockin' Chair On The Moon | I know this is an old comment, but Billy Ward and The Dominos ‘Sixity Minuteman’ came out in 1951 and was released in Canada. Id consider that record the first rock record released in Canada
|
SeverlyWarpedRecord 3rd Nov 2021 | | 78 RPMWynonie Harris - Good Rockin' Tonight / Good Morning Mr. Blues | I have a later pressing of this on Quality King. I’ll add it soon. I believe this Maple Leaf label was Kings first attempt at a Canadian distribution label before they made Quality
|
SeverlyWarpedRecord 31st Oct 2021 | | Vinyl AlbumBobby Vinton - Roses Are Red | Has anybody ever seen Bobby Vintons first 2 LPs? I’m a big fan of his and Id love to have a copy of one. From what I’ve heard they did terrible and are extremely rare now. The back of this album doesn’t even show a picture of those albums and his next albums don’t even mention them. If you think about it though the failure was on Columbia’s part, letting an unknown rock singer put out 2 LPs before they even record a single for you is just stupid
|
SeverlyWarpedRecord 2nd Oct 2021 | | Vinyl AlbumThe Cowsills - The Cowsills In Concert | Does anybody know the story behind why ‘The Cruel War’ is on this album? Kinda weird that they covered a decently successful single from Canada that completely flopped in America.
|
SeverlyWarpedRecord 20th Sep 2021 | | Vinyl AlbumAudience - House On The Hill | My grandpa said this album was really big in Winnipeg in the early 70s. I still have his copy that he used to play at parties. The popularity of this was probably due to Howard Manstein on CFRW and the college radio, he used to play a lot of obscure British records. I guess that explains why I find so many copies of this ‘rare’ record here.
|
SeverlyWarpedRecord 7th Sep 2021 | | Vinyl AlbumBobby Rydell - Forget Him | I’ve heard different things. I saw somebody claim that the M. Anthony on Butterlfy was Dick Clark were some say another Duo wrote it. Not sure about Forget Him though. I do know that Dick Clark did use the M. Anthony crediting though.
|
SeverlyWarpedRecord 6th Sep 2021 | | Vinyl AlbumHerb Alpert's Tijuana Brass - Whipped Cream And Other Delights | Does that mean that ‘What Now My Love’ was on Quality? I’ve seen ones with the original back, but have never looked at the actual record because I have it already.
|
SeverlyWarpedRecord 31st Aug 2021 | | 78 RPMThe Hilltoppers - I'd Rather Die Young (Than Grow Old Without You) / P.S. I Love You | Billy Vaughan started as a singer and pianist in The Hilltoppers. I think he left the group in like 1956 or 1957 though and became the big saxophone guy known for Wheels, Sail Along The Silvery Moon, and Raunchy.
|
SeverlyWarpedRecord 31st Aug 2021 | | 78 RPMOlga Bibor's Gypsy Orchestra - Stephanie Gavotte / Don't Be Cross | I’m sorry for this mistake, but how do you tell a Canadian Columbia from an American Columbia?
|
SeverlyWarpedRecord 26th Aug 2021 | | Vinyl AlbumThe Quiet Jungle - Snoopy's Christmas | Is this the same ‘Quiet Jungle’ that was from Winnipeg and recorded on Yorkville?
|
SeverlyWarpedRecord 19th Aug 2021 | | 78 RPMRitchie Valens - We Belong Together / Little Girl | Did the memorial series issue get a release on 78?
|
SeverlyWarpedRecord 15th Aug 2021 | | Vinyl AlbumThe Beatles - Beatlemania! With The Beatles | This was definitely a welcomed sight when the woman at my local MCC handed me the stack of unpriced LPs lol. Got it for 75 cents but the LP of Rubber Soul is inside. There was also Twist and Shout, but again there was another copy of Rubber Soul inside for some reason. I guess after that I should have checked every record in the stack for the right LP, but I doubt Guy Lombardo and Supertramp had The Beatles inside.
|
SeverlyWarpedRecord 14th Aug 2021 | | Vinyl AlbumBo Diddley - Bo Diddley | I know this isn’t the easiest record to find but: If anybody has a Canadian copy of this record without the cover let me know. A friend of mine gave me the cover because the record was stolen and after looking on eBay I’ve resorted to asking on here. I don’t really care if it’s in amazing shape or not or if it’s stereo or mono.
|
SeverlyWarpedRecord 14th Aug 2021 | | Vinyl AlbumShelley Fabares - Shelley! | If anybody has a Canadian copy of this record without the cover let me know. A friend of mine gave me the cover because the record was stolen and after looking on eBay I’ve resorted to asking on here. I don’t really care if it’s in amazing shape or not or if it’s stereo or mono.

SeverlyWarpedRecord 13th Aug 2021 | | Vinyl AlbumGary Lewis And The Playboys - Everybody Loves A Clown | This guy had some great songs but some terrible and bland albums.
|
SeverlyWarpedRecord 29th Jul 2021 | | Vinyl AlbumTen Years After - A Space In Time | I’m sorry about that, I didn’t see any indication that it was foreign and just assumed it was Canadian.
|
SeverlyWarpedRecord 28th Jul 2021 | | Vinyl AlbumTen Years After - A Space In Time | My Grandpa said that he couldn’t find any records by this band back in the late 60s and 70s despite really wanting one, so this was definitely a surprise when I found it at the Salvation Army for $2.
|
SeverlyWarpedRecord 22nd Jul 2021 | | Vinyl AlbumAndré Gagnon - Le Saint-Laurent | Yeah but it seems like it can’t decide whether it wants to be Classical music or Disco.
|
SeverlyWarpedRecord 16th Jul 2021 | | Vinyl AlbumHerb Alpert And The Tijuana Brass - The Lonely Bull | I finally found this after months of looking. The A&M reissue is common but a copy on Quality is hard to find.
|
SeverlyWarpedRecord 10th Jul 2021 | | Vinyl AlbumAndré Gagnon - Le Saint-Laurent | Even after reading this entry, I’m still confused as to what this record is supposed to be
|
SeverlyWarpedRecord 10th Jul 2021 | | Vinyl AlbumThe Smothers Brothers - Mom Always Liked You Best | I don’t think I’ve ever heard an album like this. It’s a comedy album and an album with beautiful folk music. Very glad I found this in a lot I was given.
|
SeverlyWarpedRecord 22nd Jun 2021 | | 78 RPMThe Four Tunes - Marie / I Gambled With Love | Are there any radio charts from when this record was released? It’s probably one of the most common 78s and it seems to have been a bigger hit in Canada.
|
SeverlyWarpedRecord 17th Jun 2021 | | Vinyl AlbumThe Kingsmen - The Kingsmen On Campus | Why do certain Quality albums have a hole drilled in them? My copy of this album has a drill mark like the one in the images and I have a few others albums made by Quality with the same drill mark. I’ve heard that stores used to do this to Half priced records, but I don’t see them on records from the same periods by artists like Herb Alpert or Harry Belafonte.
|
SeverlyWarpedRecord 16th Jun 2021 | | Vinyl AlbumPaul Revere And The Raiders - In The Beginning | I have the cover to this record, but for some reason it’s American, so I only added the labels.
|
SeverlyWarpedRecord 16th Jun 2021 | | Vinyl AlbumBobby Rydell - Forget Him | I believe the M. Anthony in the song writers credit is Dick Clark.
