thebluesneverdie 11th Sep 2015		Vinyl Album Elvis Presley - Rock & Roll No.2	Sleeve now added.
thebluesneverdie 25th Aug 2015		Vinyl Album Carl Perkins - Dance Album Of Carl Perkins	Track B3 was not written by CP.This was due to Sam Philips lack of a search for the original source.There is actually a clause in the copyright that denies royalty to the estate of CP.A release in 1957,on Decca,by The York Brothers,credits the writers as "Johnny"Country"Mathis & Webb Pierce".However,there was also a release of the song,on Acme,by Gene Thompson,but was uncredited,in 1951.A research of the composer credit goes back to 1936,for Alabama singer,Rex Griffin.
thebluesneverdie 2nd Aug 2015		Vinyl Album Elvis Presley - Rock & Roll No.2	....but although the 1st LP has the same cover in both the UK & USA,the sleeves on this 2nd LP had different pics. N.B.the UK issue had a photo that never surfaced again. When the album was re-issued in 1962,UK-RCA used the same pic as the USA issue.
thebluesneverdie 29th Apr 2015		78 RPM Frank Hutchison - Worried Blues / The Train That Carried The Girl From Town	Were these re-recorded "Electrically" to replace the earlier "Acoustical" takes. Many companies were doing this at that time, although some companies (i.e. Victor) did use the same catalogue numbers for the electrical re-recordings..
thebluesneverdie 23rd Apr 2015		Live Music Jefferson's Aeroplanes @ The Corinthian	Doubtful it was the artist known as "Jefferson"(Pye records).He was lead singer / guitarist for The Rockin' Berries(i.e.Jeff Turton).
thebluesneverdie 20th Apr 2015		78 RPM Oscar McLollie - Love Me Tonight / Take Your Shoes Off Pop	The 45 of this sold on ebay recently for BIG money.....and without the original centre!!!.
thebluesneverdie 18th Apr 2015		78 RPM Roy Acuff And His Smoky Mountain Boys - Advice To Joe / When My Money Run Out (I Lost All My Friends)	At the time of this release,there was a rush to issue this type of material,the vogue being engendered by the Cold War / Berlin Airlift etc.There's actually a whole spate of this type of stuff,many in Country.However,the hits did not materialise in the way the companies thought they would;even ol' Hank(as Luke)with Fred's skilled help,managed to flop with his excellent effort......and the CW dragged on for another 4 decades ho hum.
thebluesneverdie 18th Apr 2015		78 RPM Jimmie Davis - Barnyard Stomp / Red Nightgown Blues	Actually....yes!!.
thebluesneverdie 16th Apr 2015		78 RPM Jimmie Davis - Barnyard Stomp / Red Nightgown Blues	The Shreveport Home Wreckers (Ed Schaeffer & Oscar Woods) feature on the A-side, which is a paean to sheer, unadulterated, uncensored filth. How many would have volunteered to "head Corrine", as per the singer's extremely generous invitation???!!. Copy sold on ebay 3 years ago for £100.00, which was an absolute steal.
thebluesneverdie 16th Apr 2015		78 RPM Jimmie Davis - High Behind Blues / Sewing Machine Blues	3:16 minutes of wonderful, joyous, unedited smut. Couldn't get much better than this!!!!.
thebluesneverdie 16th Apr 2015		78 RPM Jimmie Davis - Doggone That Train / She's A Hum Dum Dinger	Nice copy for auction on ebay. Bids start at $100.00, and worth every penny.
thebluesneverdie 16th Apr 2015		78 RPM Jimmie Davis - Doggone That Train / She's A Hum Dum Dinger	Hank Snow made a fine cover of the A-side in the late fifties.
thebluesneverdie 16th Apr 2015		78 RPM Hank Williams With His Drifting Cowboys - There'll Be No Tear-Dorops Tonight / How Can You Refuse Him Now	Love the mis-spelling on the word "Teardrops"!!.
thebluesneverdie 27th Mar 2015		78 RPM Faron Young - Sweet Dreams / Until I Met You	Original version of "Sweet Dreams" was by the song's writer,Don Gibson(MGM 1955).
thebluesneverdie 28th Feb 2015		Vinyl Album Various Artists - "Let Me Tell You About The Blues" Volume One	No other volumes appeared in this series,but the material that was to be used for further volumes was used via the CBS distribution deal e.g."Swamp Blues" etc.
thebluesneverdie 2nd Feb 2015		78 RPM Elsie Carlisle - Body And Soul / My Man O' War	Very rarely did British female recording artists attempt to take on the risqué songs from American Blues artists. However, this was an excellent cover of the Lizzie Miles 1929 Victor original. Immediately banned by the BBC, of course. Elsie also recorded this gem for the Filmophonic label under the name Amy Brunton. No major UK label would allow her to record the song, which is actually superb. N.B. The original version of this song by Lizzie Miles (US Victor) gives the composer as Andy Razaf.
thebluesneverdie 2nd Feb 2015		78 RPM Billy Starr - Hound Dog / Borrowed Heart	Actually, M.Stoller (i.e. Mike Stoller), and not N as given.
thebluesneverdie 8th Dec 2014		78 RPM The Hill Billies - With A Banjo On My Knee / Nobody's Darlin' But Mine	Was re-issued 20 years later,in 1956,on Columbia MC-3455.Was there possibly a re-run of the film to justify this?.
thebluesneverdie 19th Nov 2014		Vinyl Album Elmore James - Blues After Hours	The only album issued in the artist's lifetime,before he died in 1963.
thebluesneverdie 16th Mar 2014		Vinyl Album The Flamin' Groovies - Sneakers	MODS:..Composer for track B3= Blind B.C.Smowes.
thebluesneverdie 12th Mar 2014		Vinyl Album Albert Collins - Truckin' With Albert Collins	Re-issue of TCF-HALL album,"The Cool Sound Of Albert Collins" TCF-8002(1965).
thebluesneverdie 8th Mar 2014		Vinyl Album Elvis Presley - Rock 'N' Roll	Titled in USA as "Elvis Presley".
thebluesneverdie 15th Feb 2014		Vinyl Album Robert Johnson - King Of The Delta Blues Singers	Only available for around a month.The Philips group lost the distribution rights to US-Columbia in 1962,when the 10-year contract was up.CBS records were the replacement as an independent label,and this item did not get re-issued until 1966.The UK-Philips issue,as seen here,has always been extremely rare.
thebluesneverdie 12th Feb 2014		Vinyl Album Blind Lemon Jefferson - Folk Blues Of Blind Lemon Jefferson	Original sleeve stated "Jazz Archive Series".Later printings stated "Origins Of Jazz Series",as per later releases.Only the earliest issues in this series stated Jazz Archive Series;the two albums by this artist that followed only stated Origins...etc. N.B.the earlier issues in this series had no inner sleeve.The sleeve was not big enough to accommodate one.
thebluesneverdie 20th Sep 2014		78 RPM Hank Williams With His Drifting Cowboys - I'll Never Get Out Of This World Alive / I Could Never Be Ashamed Of You	Hank's first UK issue to be released as a 45.

thebluesneverdie 10th Jun 2014		78 RPM Smiley Lewis - I Hear You Knocking / Bumpity Bump	Not issued in the UK,but was covered by Jill Day,on HMV,and was probably the first British Rock & Roll record to be made here.
thebluesneverdie 10th Jun 2014		78 RPM Sound Effects - Football Crowd B.G. / Cheers	Believed to be "Bowling Green",from the University in Bowling Green,Northwestern Ohio,USA.This football team had an unprecedented tally of wins,starting from 1919 until recent years.Team started in 1919,using an old field behind the Uni.Even had an air tragedy,a la Man Utd.
