CD Album
Jimmy Velvit [Mullins] - The Original Jimmy Velvit
The CD pamphlet says All Rights Reserved 1994.
The composers are so readers know which songs they are. That's my best judgment on handling that.
I do believe it was Tennant who bailed out Mullins.
If Phil York is still around he should be persuaded to release the photo of both Jimmies together. Maybe let Getty images handle it.

Teresa Brewer - The Jazz Recordings
This was planned for a few weeks ago but was postponed. While the recordings are 1950s the cover photo is from her 1982 Swiss Montreaux Jazz Festival appearance.

CD Album
Ronnie Dove - The Complete Original Chart Hits 1964-1969
I came across this at 7digital downloads in Canada. Hearing the mere mp3 samples I thought this was the best sounding digital transfer I've heard online. Two songs were lesser quality including When Liking Turns To Loving.
The 16-bit flac songs were $1.89 each so I only bought two and recorded my balance from my own hits LP. There is a flac and mp3 option, no m4a which I would prefer over mp3. The pricing is premium.
About his hits, Hello Pretty Girl is a great favorite. I thought Say You and Kiss Away were enchanting reminders of 1961. Seems that by 1964 and 65 with a new punk era starting they did not chart as high as his others. His strength was in redoing old style pop with strong new arrangements, like Dean Martin and Bobby Vinton.

Added CD notes scans explaining the recording story.
Phil York is the only person with a photo of the two Jimmys together, in his studio.

Review
These recordings are the "lost master" types, here issued by recording engineer Phil York in 1994. They are not limited to 1964 but progress to the 1970 area. From #15 they are the late 60s style like Jimmy Webb or Gentle On My Mind.
16 and 20 were issued under the pseudonym James Bell, and 20 charted #51 Country.
His first recordings in Dallas in 1961 were made by DJ Jim Lowe (of Green Door fame). Some were local hits. On #04 the high voice backing is Bobby Hendricks. #01 is an alternate take of his regional hit. It was also recorded by Jimmy Velvet, who was Jimmie Tennant and had been Mullins' manager. "Something" is the Beatles' hit.
I got into this subject from remembering We Belong Together a bit from the radio in 1963, which was by Tennant. Explanations of the identities were given by Phil York when he sold some CDs on ebay. Otherwise nobody knew about this Jimmy Velvit, and the CD was withdrawn by Collectables after a couple years.
