Comments and Reviews


slholzer 1st Oct 2016		I think Ruppli did us all a service by getting access to the records of several important labels and publishing what he found there. To the extent, however, that he played on a bias that the records must have the "truth" and that it should not thereafter be necessary to consider what the discs themselves show, he was incorrect and did us at least a small dis-service. He is not the only "discographer" who succumbed to the ambition to publish epic projects without the full rigor of examining the discs first. Brian Rust, who would probably not have considered issuing any of the editions of his labor of love "Jazz Records" on that basis, nevertheless issued the only edition of "The American Dance Band Discography" with a considerably less solid discographical foundation. I've often wondered whether he did the set under pressure from his public and whether he regretted doing it thereafter. Fixbutte's comments about the Aladdin records are on target, but the Imperial records were by the far the least helpful. Try as he might, Ruppli cannot disguise the fact that the people at Imperial had no real idea what records they had issued or not issued during certain years and especially in certain programs, such as the Latin records. Resort to the discs themselves would have fixed those problems, but it was never in Ruppli's plan to do that kind of research.



fixbutte 19th Sep 2016		Ruppli's "researches" were apparently limited to copying the Aladdin files, as acquired by Imperial. These files, however, include several records never actually issued or issued with different song titles or couplings. The most accurate Aladdin discography at the moment should be The Aladdin Records Story, a list largely compiled by myself, with only the A-side label images though (because of that site's restrictions, most B-sides labels have still been sifted).



slholzer 18th Sep 2016		Both of these titles are listed differently in Ruppli's Aladdin/Imperial label discography. The X side (assigned the A side here) is listed there as I'm Gonna Getcha. The Q Side (assigned the B side here) is shown as Hey Baba Leba. I note that the latter title has also been used by the source of BigBadBluesMan's video clip. Possibly there are versions of the label that read as reported by Ruppli. I would note, though, that of all the labels that Ruppli researched, the Aladdin/Imperial records seem to have been the least complete and reliable. Consequently, the data in the book is in need of confirmation from actual labels.
