spreadjoy 4th Aug 2021 | | CD SingleChubby Checker - Lookin' For Me | When I first saw this disc it was only on itunes. All these year later I saw it on Amazon, so I had to have it. Amazon Australia, posted from Netherlands, all up total price $AU12.98. This is a remarkable recording, even though the content is very self indulgent. It is NOT available on chubbychecker,com if it were it would most likely be $US20.00 like all the other singles.
This is a good cut for Chubby. It is however a Single Track CD, not really good value for money.

spreadjoy 18th Dec 2017 | | CD AlbumPete Fountain - Pete Fountain At Piper's Opera House | Even though this CD was recorded in 1983 released in the 90's.
Artists on the CD apart from Pete are:
John Thomas - Cornet, Eddie Miller - Tenor Saxophone, Bob Haven - Trombone,
Bunky Jones - SBS, Nick Fatool - Drums, the legendary Nick Fatool was a very early drummer with Pete Fountain, or I should say Pete played with Nick back in the 1950.

spreadjoy 15th Nov 2016 | | CD AlbumPete Fountain - Live Performance In New Orleans | ReviewThe Artist on this CD is noted as Pete Fountain And Other All-Star Dixielanders, points to a generic term for various groups & band members not individually annoted (whilst Pete was the Front Man). Album was originally released on RCA Camden LP in 1962 CAL-727 (Mono), it was released again in 1964 only difference was the number CAL-727 (E) then in 1972 was re-issued on an interesting label Pickwick Camden CAS-727, this time in re-channeled Stereo, the original number was CAL-727 then CAS-727, Pickwick used the RCA Camden release number. The songs in one form or another appear on many of Pete's recordings both Coral/Decca and Independents. It is a collection of Dixieland Standards. The two afore mentioned LPs are available for viewing at 45worlds.com vinyl albums.

spreadjoy 2nd Nov 2016 | | CD AlbumPete Fountain - Dixieland Classics | ReviewFunny name for this CD. It was originally released as a 2CD set (unsighted).
Dixieland Classics, well, OK if you insist.
I know I harp on this fact but it is a wonderful sampler for anyone who does not know Pete.
Whilst true Dixieland appears on this album in it's true form, Muskrat Ramble, Basin Street Blues & Honky Tonk, The other tracks are done with a Pete Fountain twist.
Amazing Grace, Gospel - San Antonio Rose, Walking The Floor Over You, Country - It Had To Be You, You Must Have Been A Beautiful Baby, 40's Pop.
Put the CD on random, it becomes a lucky dip of beautiful music.
If by chance you are looking for cheap used CDs try secondspin.com (great prices and amazingly fair postage even internationally)

spreadjoy 1st Nov 2016 | | CD AlbumPete Fountain - The Best Of Dixieland | ReviewThis CD is without doubt a Pete Fountain CD. Pete Fountain plays Clarinet on ALL tracks. It is an important CD because it displays some very early work by Pete. One of the collaborators on this CD is Benny Harrel, Petes' Son-in-law & Manager for decades.
Track 1. Was recorded in 1950 and released on a Clef 78 (untraced)
Track 2 & 3. Was recorded in 1951 and released on the Mercury Album
"Strictly Dixie" MC 20151 (12 track LP), there was a later Mercury Album by the
Basin Street Six featuring Pete Fountain "Basin Street Six" MG 25111,
8 track 10"
Tracks 4-7 From Coral Album CRL 757401 "Music From Dixie" (1961) see this site LPs
Tracks 8-19 From Coral Album CRL 757440 "South Rampart Street Parade" (1963)
see this site
Track 20 From Coral Album CRL 757503 "Walking Through New Orleans" see this site
Noted on paperwork that most tracks remastered from record, noise persists. Well mastered.
It is sad that the original tapes of his Coral product do not exist.
A fine album as a sampler of Petes' fine dixieland work. Check his LPs on this site for a comprehensive list. Pete recorded with many different groups in his formative years.

spreadjoy 27th Oct 2016 | | CD AlbumPete Fountain - Swing Low, Sweet Clarinet | ReviewThis 2CD set is from Jasmine Records UK. The only complaint I have about this set is that it is MONO. This was rather upsetting when the CD arrived as all tracks were originally recorded in Stereo. CD Cover is a photoshopped "Pete Fountain's New Orleans" Coral CRL 757282 (1959), The back of the CD is a photoshopped "Swing Low, Sweet Clarinet" Coral CRL 757394 (1962).
The CDs themselves feature 4 of Pete's Albums and 1 part album.
CD 1 Tracks: 1 - 12 "The Blues" Coral CRL 757285 (1959) 3rd Coral Album
CD 1 Tracks: 13 - 16 "Presenting Pete Fountain & Al Hirt - Bourbon Street" Coral CRL 757389 (1962) 12th Coral Album, this is an 8 track Album, 4 Tracks By Pete (on this CD) 4 tracks of Pete & Al (not on this CD)
CD 1 Tracks: 17 - 24 "Salutes The Great Clarinetists" Coral CRL 757333 (1960) 6th Coral Album
CD 2 Tracks: 1 - 4 "Salutes The Great Clarinetists" Coral CRL 757333 (1960) 6th Coral Album
CD 2 Tracks: 5 - 16 "I Love Paris" Coral CRL 757378 (1962) 11th Coral Album
CD 2 Tracks: 17 - 28 "Swing Low, Sweet Clarinet" Coral CRL 757394 (1962) 13th Coral Album
(Swing Low, Sweet Clarinet features the Jubilee Singers (most likely the famous Fisk Jubilee Singers), but not shown as such.
The 2CDs are of remarkable quality, they have been remastered to the level expected by Sony or BMG, wonderful job. No need to comment on the music (spectacular)
