First started collecting in 1961 when I found that records that didn't get a lot of votes on Murray The K's nightly 'Boss New Sounds' (or whatever it was called) were hard to find! Still at it.

rhythmdog ● 3rd Dec 2023		CD Album Various Artists - The Doo Wop Box III	The biggest negative for me is there is no booklet accompaniment. It would have been nice to read about the various celebrities' choices and their reasons for the picks (CD 3). I guess Rhino cheaped out.
rhythmdog ● 31st May 2022		CD Album Various Artists - Chicken Shack Boogie Volume II	To get a sense of what this CD series is about read the comment at Chicken Shack Boogie (Vol 1)
rhythmdog ● 31st May 2022		CD Album Various Artists - Chicken Shack Boogie	This series is actual CD's, not CDR's. Likely not actually from Kingston, Jamaica, as asserted on the CD's. However, the concept is Jamaican. These US R&B cuts were what the Sound System men of the mid-50's brought back from their trips to New Orleans and other Southern US locales to play at outdoor dances in Kingston in the mid-50's. As such, they are the very source for "Jamaican R&B" and later Ska, because in the late 50's, as this style of music dried up in the US, the impressarios of Jamaica turned to local talent to replicate the sound no longer available in the US (that the US R&B sound dried up in 1959 with the "Payola Scandal" should make it clear that the major labels were struggling to compete with the smaller R&B labels but were capable of using their clout to sic the law on their competitors - not because they were more "moral" but because they had better lawyers! - and much worse music!!!)
rhythmdog ● 30th May 2022		CD Album Various Artists - Motortown Group Sounds Vol. 2	I meant to add that, arjayvee! Thanks!
rhythmdog ● 5th Jul 2020		CD Album Various Artists - A Million Dollars Worth Of Doo-Wop Volume 6	I should add, even the titles and the group names have occasionally been mangled as these CD's were perhaps too hurriedly rushed out. Or perhaps there was some attempt to disguise the correct titles and artists to make it more difficult for other collectors to track down some of the items. For whatever reason, the name of the group on track 4 is actually "Georgie Torrence And The Dippers". The name of the group on track 12 is "Murphreesboro" singular and without "The". The name of the group on track 13 is "Little Prince And The Freeloaders". The title on track 9 is "What Is Your Name".
