 For me, the biggest problem with the Inkspots is (apart from the fact that I'm not that big into Crooners to start with) that they are too repetitive.

Once they had their first success, with "If I Didn't Care" in 1939, they turned the structure of that song into the standard formula for all their subsequent songs (they called it "Top and Bottom"), and that simply gets old fast. Lefty Bates, who took over an Ink Spots successor outfit in the 1970s, explained,

"What the record company did was once we had our first hit, they made a format. If you had a hit doing one thing, they weren't about to change it. So we'd have a guy sing a high lead [originally tenor Billy Kennedy], and a guy talked the bass part -the recitative- [originally Hoppy Jones], and that`s what we did" (source).

 Well, the opinion of not having many Inkspots fans at 45 worlds may not be too far off the mark. Every single one of my dad's Inkspot records, I find too depressing to listen to. Only a small few do I find enjoyable enough to tolerate. I always wondered WHY he had as many as he did, when you consider the great jazz selections that were available during that period of time.

 This record is part of an album that I see quite commonly on estate sales. Here's an example of the cover art:
Decca A-477.
The price the seller got, by the way, is ridiculously high. Yesterday, I could have picked up that same album again for $3.00. Nothing under $20, of course, even makes it into popsike.

We clearly don't have big Inkspot fans on 45worlds, or the entire album would have been entered here long ago. So far, we only have sides 3 & 4, Decca 23633.

 added label shots, A/B. Since these discs are numbered, I imagine that they were part of an album set of 4 records, 8 sides.
