George Slv 10th Apr 2019		Vinyl Album The Everly Brothers - Beat ´N Soul (1965)	What Stan Cornyn was talking about in the notes. My Babe from TheWolfmanMark. [YouTube Video] You'd get more impact if you got closer to analog audio. Also Lonely Avenue, this one from vinyl from "Dimitris 004 New channel". [YouTube Video]
George Slv 18th Feb 2019		Vinyl Album Roy Hamilton - Mr. Rock And Soul (1962)	I'm Gonna Sit Right Down And Cry is a faster cooler rerecording of his 1954 single, and is included on some compilations.
George Slv 24th Aug 2018		Vinyl Album Various Artists - 24 Groovy Greats	I guess they did a lot of shortening of these songs. My recording of Spanish Lace is ~1:28 instead of 2:20.
George Slv 6th Jul 2018		Vinyl Album Minneapolis Symphony Orchestra, Antal Dorati - Four Great Waltzes By Johann Strauss	Likely 1955-58 before stereo. If anyone would like my copy let me know, I expect to discard it sometime.
George Slv 10th Jun 2018		Vinyl Album Larry Williams - Here's Larry Williams (1959)	RocknRollArchivist: This LP version of Lizzie at 2:09 is not the single version which is 2:25. See the Canadian single for an audio link. The single ends with "be your lover man" while the album ends "wanna marry you". Are reissues using the album version?
George Slv 29th May 2018		Vinyl Album Johnny Western - 20 Great Classics And Legends (1984)	The Rebel / Bonanza / Paladin medley [YouTube Video] YT video from evanlewis1836.
George Slv 29th May 2018		Vinyl Album Johnny Western - 20 Great Classics And Legends (1984)	His birth name was Johnny Westerlund, from Minnesota. He was first known as the writer and singer of the Ballad Of Paladin. Otherwise his further writing and recording were known to those who knew Country music. An impressive baritone, but not perfect enough to be a star singer. As a young man he had handsome looks. You can order an autographed CD from his site.
George Slv 24th Mar 2018		Vinyl Album Lina Margy - Chansons De Nos 20 Ans, Vol.5	Who knows more about this? There was material like this released in the early 1950s, and also in the early 1960s. This looks like a reissue, the Collection Chouettes series, or Serie Grande Diffusion. See Paris Je T'Aime at Discogs. And what's the idea of the title Chansons De Nos 20 Ans? Some of these songs on Youtube.
George Slv 7th Mar 2018		Vinyl Album Lina Margy - Ses Grands Succès (1983)	[YouTube Video] Mademoiselle De Paris from Jean Florenzano. My definitive vocal of this song but why is it so overlooked? What year did she record it?
George Slv 2nd Mar 2018		Vinyl Album Teresa Brewer - The Best Of Teresa Brewer (1975)	The MCA 1983 linked release here is not at all the same recordings.
George Slv 24th Dec 2017		Vinyl Album The Viscounts - The Viscounts Rock	The wax shows AMY-8008- . I bought this early 90s mail order thru Roots & Rhythm in LA.
George Slv 30th Aug 2017		Vinyl Album Elvis Presley - The Sun Sessions (1976)	Now understanding how the 2004 Elvis At Sun was made, these previous reissues did not use Sun's original masters, but RCA reprocessed masters based on the Sun masters. Or were they based on Sun unprocessed tapes. Sun applied its echo during live recording so RCA had that for sure. Anyway this LP sounds like garbage.
George Slv 11th Aug 2017		Vinyl Album The Shadows - The Shadows' Greatest Hits (1963)	There is a legend that Hank Marvin once played one wrong note somewhere back here. I take issue with the way the Shadows start Apache. There's a starting note that's a little out of place.
George Slv 9th Aug 2017		Vinyl Album Connie Francis - Who's Happy Now? (1978)	The title should be Who's Happy Now. Can someone say how many tracks are disco? I read only Where The Boys Are, but now have the UK single and see that A-Ba-Ni-Bi is too. Where was a 2:25 version released? Wasn't a 12" issued anywhere else besides Australia? Japan had an issue.
George Slv 15th Jul 2017		Vinyl Album Ivan Romanoff - Continental Rhapsody (1968)	In the US it was released as A Continental Affair.
George Slv 7th Jul 2017		Vinyl Album Pat Boone - Pat's Great Hits Vol. 2 (1959)	Not every song on here was rerecorded for stereo in 1959. They started stereo in late 1957 and already had some. From my tests April Love is the same recording as the single, and so is If Dreams Came True. But not Gee But It's Lonely, and the For My Good Fortune arrangement sounds very different. They must have rerecorded early songs like Two Hearts.
George Slv 3rd Jul 2017		Vinyl Album Pat Boone - The Best Of Pat Boone (1982)	Would all the early songs here be the 1959 stereo rerecordings? Finally they put Moody River on a Hits LP. But I'm sorry they are still neglecting Johnny Will and Big Cold Wind from 1961. And wasn't Welcome New Lovers of 1960 considered a significant hit?
George Slv 31st May 2017		Vinyl Album Various Artists - Autumn Leaves (1973)	Review This collection is alright. No rerecordings. Little Things Mean A Lot turns out to be by Kitty Kallen. What a commentary on how well she is remembered. By the way if you like that song, my definitive rendition is by Anita Bryant. C4 and C5 just seem to be album versions of other people's hit singles. C6 is the 1965 version with vocal chorale. 5 people found this review helpful. ✔︎ Helpful Review?
George Slv 4th May 2017		Vinyl Album Various Artists - Jamboree! (1957)	Connie Francis sings the voice for actress Freda Holloway. Here on Siempre [YouTube Video] from GSMusicMoments. Not found on any Connie compilation or discography.
George Slv 1st May 2017		Vinyl Album Linda Scott - Linda (1962)	[YouTube Video] Yessiree on Youtube live from the film Don't Knock the Twist, from GSMusicMoments. A super single that didn't chart high, after the label branched into Congress, which didn't work out well.
George Slv 28th Apr 2017		Vinyl Album Bobby Vee And Jackie DeShannon - C'Mon Let's Live A Little (1967)	Everything else gives the date of the movie as 1967.
George Slv 7th Apr 2017		Vinyl Album The Drifters - Save The Last Dance For Me (1962)	I mean I'm making this entry to include both mono and stereo. That can be done. Corrections are open.
George Slv 7th Apr 2017		Vinyl Album The Beatles - Beatles' 65 (1964)	Titled Beatles For Sale in England.
George Slv 7th Apr 2017		Vinyl Album The Drifters - Save The Last Dance For Me (1962)	I don't remember what I did ol' Magic. My LP is mono. This back cover is not my own scan. The front looks right. So add the stereo number as an alternate no.
George Slv 29th Mar 2017		Vinyl Album Les Baxter - Ports Of Pleasure (1957)	The full mono album at YouTube from Dr. Hofmann's Electric Kool-Aid Party! [YouTube Video] Additional tracks are A6 Spice Islands Sea Birds B6 Bangkok Cockfight you're velcome
George Slv 18th Mar 2017		Vinyl Album Ray Smith - Rare Items (1987)	A5 is an unmastered studio take, with the chorus volume too low. There is also a Ray Smith of UK of the 60s-70s who was a writer and guitarist, and did some work with Teresa Brewer too. His Youtube channel is riff490.
George Slv 14th Mar 2017		Vinyl Album Jo Stafford - The Hits Of Jo Stafford (1979)	So this would be rerecordings of her Columbia hits. How is it?
George Slv 3rd Mar 2017		Vinyl Album The Coasters - Wake Me, Shake Me (1980)	The Snake And The Bookworm is a strange edition. Not the same as the single release, it is missing the group refrains of the title between the verses. There is just empty instrumental fill there. All reissues were this way, I'd like to know why. Here is the original single on YT from GSMusicMoments [YouTube Video] Here's the version on this collection: [YouTube Video]
George Slv 3rd Mar 2017		Vinyl Album Teresa Brewer - Midnight Cafe (A Few More For The Road) (1985)	What Are We Gonna Do is special, written by Teresa Brewer herself as a dedication to her marriage with Bob Thiele. Hear an archive copy.
George Slv 1st Feb 2017		Vinyl Album Fats Domino - Fats Domino Sings Million Record Hits (1960)	Review This amounts to a Volume 2 of his hits, almost. It has some great hits from 1959, some fair hits. Then it's one of those head-scratchers about what the executives were thinking. A1, A2, A5, B1, B6 did not chart but four of these were flip sides of hits, which are not included: Rose Mary (1953), Wait And See, Valley Of Tears, and The Big Beat. So it's only moderately interesting. By the way the stereo LP has only mono songs. "Million Record Hits" is a blatantly deceptive title. Actually there's not a single gold record on this. But two of the missing hits were gold. Volume 1 would be Fats Domino Swings. Volume 3 is the one titled (also deceptively) Million Sellers. 4 people found this review helpful. ✔︎ Helpful Review?
