plerner SUBS 30th Jun 2022		CD Album Cilla Black - Cilla 1963-1973 The Abbey Road Decade (1997)	Track 3-10, "Only you can free my mind" is indicated on this release as Composer Unknown. In fact it was written by Jackie DeShannon, whose own demo of the song was released on the Ace album "Break-A-Way" (2008).
plerner SUBS 20th Feb 2022		CD Album Jackie DeShannon - Don't Turn Your Back On Me / This Is Jackie DeShannon (2022)	This is a strange one. The same CD was released on the same label, with almost identical packaging, in 2005. However it is also advertised as a new release, and bears the copyright date of 2022 on the cover and insert.
plerner SUBS 8th Feb 2022		CD Album Sammi Smith - Looks Like Stormy Weather · 1969-1975 (2022)	A fairly sombre set of reflective songs, though the previously unreleased "Desperados waiting for a train" is amazing.
plerner SUBS 13th Apr 2021		CD Album Bob Fox And Stu Luckley - Box Of Gold	Their original record company failed to make their (excellent) albums available into the CD era, and so Bob and Stu re-recorded the material almost identically, note for note. Sounds a bit familiar, Taylor Swift?
plerner SUBS 17th Jan 2021		CD Album De Dannan - How The West Was Won (1999)	Magic Marmalade: yes, definitely.
plerner SUBS 29th Apr 2020		CD Album The Blue Sky Boys - Presenting The Blue Sky Boys (2012)	"Oh marry in time" is an interesting variation of the traditional song also known as "Scarborough Fair".
plerner SUBS 29th Apr 2020		CD Album Maggie Lewis Warwick - ... But I Know What I Like (1998)	see also Margaret Lewis.
plerner SUBS 15th Dec 2019		CD Album Margaret Lewis - Reconsider Me (2019)	Frequent co-writer Laura Nell Martin is Ram label owner Mira Smith, see https://www.45cat.com/record/1720&ei=1 - and songwriters of track 20, Nadine and Nolene, were twin sisters from Sims, Arkansas.
plerner SUBS 27th Nov 2019		CD Album Various Artists - Christmas Motown (2017)	It's both lazy and disrespectful for albums such as this not to include composer / songwriter credits. The "project co-ordinator", Paul Fernandes, gets himself a mention however.
plerner SUBS 16th Nov 2019		CD Album Various Artists - Country Boy´s Dream (2008)	I think mine came with "Now Dig This".
plerner SUBS 21st Nov 2018		CD Album Alison Krauss - Forget About It (1999)	Thanks ppint. On the spine of the packaging it says RRCD 0465 (on both spines actually). In the insert it says Rounder 0465. On the disc it says "Made in Holland". I think we have different editions of the same album.
plerner SUBS 24th Aug 2018		CD Album Jackie DeShannon - The Early Singles 1956-1962 (2018)	I've done some research around track 7, "I need lovin'", which leads me to believe that it was probably written by Roger Miller, rather than by Jackie.
plerner SUBS 20th Jul 2018		CD Album Fairport Convention - What We Did On Our Saturday (2018)	Some strong performances on this live double album. Chris While's singing on "The Deserter", in particular, is sensational.
plerner SUBS 31st Jan 2018		CD Album June Tabor - Always (2005)	A few missing songwriter credits as my 48-page booklet included 2 blank pages!
plerner SUBS 26th Jan 2018		CD Album Various Artists - Motown Girls Sing The Hits (2005)	Just seen your query RogerFoster - the information with the CD set says the track is copyright 1964 AVI Record Productions Ltd. It doesn't quite answer your question as to how Gloria got herself into this collection but it's an early recording. (All other tracks are copyright to Motown Record Corporation, as you would expect).
plerner SUBS 12th Nov 2017		CD Album Kitty Wells - The Queen Of Honky Tonk Angels (2012)	According to the liner notes by Bob Fisher, Kitty not only recorded the first #1 on the Billboard country chart to be performed by a woman, she also released the first country LP ever released by a female performer (Country Hit Parade).
plerner SUBS 18th Jun 2017		CD Album Dee Dee Sharp - The Best Of Dee Dee Sharp (2015)	This compilation is a delight to listen to. Dee performs in an impressive variety of musical and vocal styles and sounds as if she's loving every minute.
plerner SUBS 20th Jan 2017		CD Album Leonard Cohen - You Want It Darker (2016)	An amazing and moving final album; indescribably beautiful music.
plerner SUBS 18th Jan 2017		CD Album Ashley Hutchings - By Gloucester Docks I Sat Down And Wept (2013)	A positively superb album; a concept album which is an emotional roller coaster.
plerner SUBS 5th Dec 2016		CD Album The Albion Christmas Band - Magic Touch (2016)	A lovely album; Track 10 is outstanding.
plerner SUBS 5th Nov 2016		CD Album Trees - On The Shore (1993)	The composer of track 4 is Cyril Tawney.
plerner SUBS 6th Jan 2016		CD Album Elvis Presley With The Royal Philharmonic Orchestra - If I Can Dream (2015)	UK front cover added.
plerner SUBS 18th Jan 2015		CD Album Various Artists - All American Rock 'N' Roll (2001)	My copy has the songwriter info in the booklet (page 2) and I have added it.
plerner SUBS 6th Jan 2015		CD Album Brian Kennedy - Interpretations (2008)	Although there is a 12 page booklet, within which Brian offers his "sincere respect to all the writers of these extraordinary songs", the songwriters are nowhere credited.
plerner SUBS 8th Dec 2014		CD Album Various Artists - True Country (2006)	The person who attributed Leroy Van Dyke's "Walk on by" to Bacharach and David is not the first to make this mistake.
plerner SUBS 30th Oct 2014		CD Album Various Artists - Eight Miles High (2003)	You wonder how it can be said that The Searchers' "When you walk in the room", which was recorded in 1963, was "inspired by The Byrds".......
plerner SUBS 11th Oct 2014		CD Album Scott Walker And The Walker Brothers - No Regrets: The Best Of Scott Walker And The Walker Brothers 1965-1976 (1992)	Reissued in 2000 with different front to booklet (uploaded).
plerner SUBS 8th Oct 2014		CD Album Billy Ray Cyrus - Home At Last (2007)	Produced by Fred Mollin
plerner SUBS 2nd Oct 2014		CD Album Various Artists - Sharon Sheeley: Songwriter (2000)	I believe they are among the backing musicians.
plerner SUBS 12th Sep 2014		CD Album Everly Brothers - Sweet Memories (1990)	Tracks from 1972/3 produced by Chet Atkins, Paul A.Rotchild and Duane Eddy
