Bob1951 13th Nov 2017		AA side label variant image added.



fixbutte 17th Nov 2015		As already said, “I’ll Sail My Ship Alone” was a #1 country hit, Moon Mullican’s only one in his long career, and his soulful singing and distinctive piano solo make it a pleasant affair, more hopeful than the first lines of the lyrics give reason to expect. It was covered by many artists, notably be Jerry Lee Lewis who frequently pointed out that Mullican was one of his biggest influences, and you can easily hear it. See Floyd Domino’s lesson From Moon Mullican to Jerry Lee Lewis on YouTube: And here's Jerry Lee's faster and more defiant version on Sun 312:



xiphophilos ● 30th Oct 2015		Couldn’t agree more. :-) Apart from the arcane and often counterintuitive rule work that they’ve created for themselves, discussions there get so often nasty and ad hominem that I wonder why no-one from management interfers and simply bans a couple of these trolls.



fixbutte 30th Oct 2015		If we thought that Discogs were any good, we wouldn’t be here I presume.



xiphophilos ● 29th Oct 2015		Interesting. I asked because on Discogs, no one seems to be aware of this fact: King 830 A few more examples: King 779, King 784, King 799, King 812, King 815, King 819, King 824



fixbutte 29th Oct 2015		No, it shouldn’t. As documented in many sources, King had its A-sides marked “AA” and B-sides marked “A”. In addition, “I’ll Sail My Ship Alone” was also the hit side, a solid #1 in Billboard’s C&W charts.



xiphophilos ● 28th Oct 2015		Shouldn’t “Moon’s Tune” (830-A) be the A Side, and the double A (830-AA) side be the B side?



xiphophilos ● 28th Oct 2015		Uploaded label variants in which the text “Vocal by” etc. is indented differently.



LaurenceD SUBS 9th Aug 2015		Added an alternate B-side scan. The A-side of my copy matches Tailspin’s image 742596.



Tailspin 9th May 2015		I guess an unusual release with A & B sides with different color labels. The A [AA] maroon/brown and the B [A] red.
