Comments and Reviews


slholzer 27th Jul 2017		As stated in the Notes, the first composer of "Strictly Instrumental" is correctly Eddie Seiler. I am reasonably certain that there are two variants of the label, one (see the associated video clip) that spells his name correctly, and one (see illustrated version) that spells it as Seller. It is not uncommon to have difficulty distinguishing a poorly printed "i" from an "l" on label photos, but I think I've seen enough photos now of sufficient clarity to say this with some confidence. The third composer of "Strictly Instrumental" appears on the label as Benjemen. This spelling is not infrequently encountered on record labels, although it is apparently incorrect. The person represented by it is Bennie Benjamin.

W.B.lbl 21st Dec 2012		Just wondering. Wanted to make sure it was all right before commencing deletion.



LouisSidney 21st Dec 2012		It's perfectly alright, W.B.lbl, and you can get rid of my initial pix. Only when there is colored vinyl or a special kind of 45 adapter do I feel the need to keep them.



W.B.lbl 21st Dec 2012		With all due respect to 'LouisSidney', have cropped area outside label (and also the hole).
