jaimeeduardo 9th Oct 2013		Vinyl Album Barry Manilow - Grandes Éxitos En Español (1986)	Track A4 from the movie Copacabana. Parallel titles in English on container: A2 Daybreak A 5 This One's For You B1 Some Sweet Day B2 Even Now B3 All The Time B4 Could It Be Magic B5 I Write The Songs
jaimeeduardo 9th Oct 2013		Vinyl Album Various Artists - Éxitos De Oro Volumen 2 (1979)	Issued also as 8 track and cassette.
jaimeeduardo 8th Oct 2013		Vinyl Album Gordon MacRae And Dorothy Kirsten With Gerald Shirkey - The Desert Song (1978)	Comment: This description is somewhat unusual in that much of it comes from the container, the only source here for track information. Note the inclusion on the container of the names of roles or kinds of performers ("Soldiers," "The Riffs," "The Company") rather than performers' names. This makes constructing an artist entry more difficult. In this case, I've combined fuller forms of personal names ("Gordon MacRae" rather than "MacRae") since both forms appear together (and the fuller form makes for a more useful online search term), and omitted the role names since they aren't the names of artists/performers. It remains to be seen whether it is practical to include discs such as this one here (with more complex entries), and without the option of a main entry under composer which would simplify input to some extent. Some of the commercial systems sometimes use the composer's name as performer, but they also end up with duplicate records and nonsense entries (pre-recording era composers as performers) . I include the full original worksheet in case changes are made later: Angel S-37319 SW-1842 1978 Gordon MacRae And Dorothy Kirsten With Gerald Shirkey The Desert Song Gordon MacRae, Dorothy Kirsten, Gerald Shirkey, Lloyd Bunnell, vocals; members of the Roger Wagner Chorale; orchestra and chorus conducted by Van Alexander.

jaimeeduardo 8th Oct 2013		Vinyl Album Risë Stevens, Robert Merrill - The Chocolate Soldier (Abridged) (1959)	The artist info. on this record is more complex on this example, so I'll add my original record below. This shows how I would organize the data in case there are later changes to the record. The more complex the item, the more options there are for different ideas on organization. RCA Victor LSO 1506 LSO-1506 1959 Risë Stevens, Robert Merrill The Chocolate Soldier (Abridged) Risë Stevens, Robert Merrill, Jo Sullivan, Peter Palmer, Sadie McCollum, Michael Kermoyan, Eugene Morgan, vocals; orchestra and chorus under the direction of Lehman Engel. Produced by Ed Walker and Bob Ballard. "Spotlight Series." Side 1 1 Risë Stevens My Hero Oscar Straus COPY TO ALL 2 Risë Stevens, Robert Merrill Sympathy 3 Eugene Morgan Seek The Spy 4 Lehman Engel Act II: Our Heroes Come (The Fatherland Is Free) 5 Risë Stevens, Peter Palmer Never Was There Such A Lover Side 2 1 Risë Stevens, Robert Merrill The Chocolate Soldier 2 Risë Stevens, Robert Merrill That Would Be Lovely 3 Finale, Act II Risë Stevens, Jo Sullivan, Sadie McCollum, Robert Merrill, Peter Palmer, Michael Kermoyan, Eugene Morgan 4 Risë Stevens, Robert Merrill The Letter Song 5 Risë Stevens, Jo Sullivan, Sadie McCollum, Robert Merrill, Peter Palmer, Michael Kermoyan, Eugene Morgan Finale, Act III
jaimeeduardo 7th Oct 2013		Vinyl Album Herb Alpert - Rise (1979)	A-Ron-Ways on B4 is an odd (to me) phonetic transcription of B4's title, a track adapted from Concierto de Aranjuez, a well-known concerto for guitar and orchestra by Joaquín Rodrigo. The pronunciation indicated is American; it is often pronounced with a traditional European accent. I would spell it "R-On-Who-Eth" to approach this sound in English.
jaimeeduardo 7th Oct 2013		Vinyl Album Emil Gilels - Sonata No. 12 For Piano In A-flat Major, Op. 26, Sonata No. 16 For Piano In G Major, Op. 31 No. 1 (1978)	Since there is no collective album title, title is taken from labels on both sides. The label mostly in the Roman alphabet rather than Cyrillic seems unusual.
jaimeeduardo 6th Oct 2013		Vinyl Album Various Artists - Your Hit Parade 1952 (1989)	Vocal on Slow Poke (A5) by Redd Stewart.
jaimeeduardo 5th Oct 2013		Vinyl Album The Beach Boys - High Water (1973)	Live tracks (disc 2) recorded in 1964.
jaimeeduardo 5th Oct 2013		Vinyl Album John Barry - Midnight Cowboy (1969)	Track A1 made the U.S. top 10 in 1969. Cover images of Dustin Hoffman and Jon Voight. The movie starred Dustin Hoffman, Jon Voight, Brenda Vaccaro, John McGiver, Ruth White, Sylvia Miles, and Barnard Hughes. This LP is another example of one that could probably be entered as "Various Artists" or under John Barry, who is given overall credit on the cover. Barry also composed the music on half the tracks.
jaimeeduardo 5th Oct 2013		Vinyl Album Lupita D'Alessio - Lupita D'Alessio (1982)	On track B4, "Sue y Javier" is the name of a performer (a duo), not names of two independent composers. Note the song listings on cover rather than an LP title. This is typical on some Mexican LPs of this period.
jaimeeduardo 5th Oct 2013		Vinyl Album Carlo Bergonzi - Operatic Recital (1959)	Opera titles not listed on B Side for lack of space on label. Operas are: B1 L'Africaine -- B2 Andrea Chénier -- B3-B4 Adrianna Levouvreur -- B5-6 Tosca -- B7 Manon Lescaut. This album later re-issued with a more conservative photo; here a young looking Bergonzi appears to be costumed as Radames in Verdi's Aïda.
jaimeeduardo 5th Oct 2013		Vinyl Album Frijid Pink - Frijid Pink (1969)	Track B2 reached the U.S. top 10 in Feb. 1970.
jaimeeduardo 4th Oct 2013		Vinyl Album Peggy March - Für Dich (1973)	Cover unfolds into 6 panels containing 2 large Peggy March posters. Contents with proper German capitalization (Worlds system doesn't allow): Album title: Für dich. Tracks: A1 Feuer und Nacht A2 Das sind die Träume, die man so träumt A3 Das alte Lied vom Glück A4 Es ist schwer dich zu vergessen A5 Everybody Join Hands A6 Nur noch einen Tanz B1 Gott schuf die Frau B2 Will You Know Me B3 Mein schönster Tag B4 Karriere B5 Laß das Licht in die Welt B6 Und ich sagte Ade
jaimeeduardo 4th Oct 2013		Vinyl Album Ritmo 7 - Nuestro Amor Prohibido (1977)	Las viejas canciones (track B1) is a Spanish translation of Those Oldies But Goodies, a U.S. top 10 hit in 1961. Other sources cite composer credit for Paul Politi and Nick Curinga; container cites Little Caesar (Carl Burnett).
jaimeeduardo 4th Oct 2013		Vinyl Album Various Artists - Oldies But Goodies Vol. 9 (1968)	Track A3, Release Me (1962), is the same song that became a signature hit for Engelbert Humperdinck in 1967.
jaimeeduardo 4th Oct 2013		Vinyl Album Various Artists - Rhythm ´N´ Blues Vol. 2 Sweet 'n Greasy (1968)	Recordings date from ca. 1949-1957. Pub. date 1968 is probabale. The Crystals group here is not the same as the 1960s The Crystals of Phil Spector.
jaimeeduardo 3rd Oct 2013		Vinyl Album Juan Gabriel - Con Tu Amor (1981)	Juan Gabriel is one of the best-known singer/songwriters of Mexico, and his is a household name among U.S. Spanish speakers. To the English speaking audience in the U.S., however, he is a complete unknown. Apparently he planned on launching this album as a crossover attempt with the English language track With Your Love listed on the sleeve, but it was substituted with another song, Brasil es un amor. Perhaps the English song wasn't considered ready for issue in the U.S.
jaimeeduardo 3rd Oct 2013		Vinyl Album Ludmila Dvořáková - Operatic Recital (1967)	Contents and performer name also in Russian on container: Людмила Дворжакова -- Тангейзер • Тристан н Исольда • Валькирия • Зигфрид • Гибель богов.
jaimeeduardo 3rd Oct 2013		Vinyl Album El Jefe Y Su Grupo - Infiel–A La Luz De Una Vela (1981)	Recorded at Súper Grabaciones Tapatías, Guadalajara, Jalisco, México.
jaimeeduardo 3rd Oct 2013		Vinyl Album Pecos Kanvas - Casi Amante, Casi Amigo (1980)	Pub. date is an estimate. Emilia broadcast 1979-1980.
jaimeeduardo 2nd Oct 2013		Vinyl Album Maria Callas - Maria Callas Sings Arias By Beethoven, Mozart And Weber (1964)	This is what is called "late" Callas, when the voice was in decline. These selections are well-known, but they are not selections Callas sang in performance or on previous records. If I remember correctly, this much anticipated disc was accompanied in record stores by a life-size standing cardboard version of the cover photo.
jaimeeduardo 2nd Oct 2013		Vinyl Album Bob B. Soxx And The Blue Jeans - Bob B. Soxx And The Blue Jeans (1976)	Recordings ℗1962-1963. Pub. date 1976 based on date on vol. 5 (1976) in same series and statement on vol. 1 that it was issued more than a decade after Spector's Ronettes album (ca. 1964). Issued also as 8 track cartridge and musicassette.
jaimeeduardo 2nd Oct 2013		Vinyl Album The Crystals - The Crystals Sing Their Greatest Hits (1976)	Recordings ℗1961-1963. Pub. date 1976 based on date on vol. 5 (1976) in same series and statement on vol. 1 that it was issued more than a decade after Spector's Ronettes album (ca. 1964). Issued also as 8 track cartridge and musicassette.
jaimeeduardo 2nd Oct 2013		Vinyl Album The Ronettes - The Ronettes Sing Their Greatest Hits (1976)	Recordings ℗1963-1964. Pub. date 1976 based on date on vol. 5 (1976) in same series and statement that this album was issued more than a decade after Spector's Ronettes album (ca. 1964). Issued also as 8 track cartridge and musicassette.
jaimeeduardo 2nd Oct 2013		Vinyl Album The Righteous Brothers - You've Lost That Lovin' Feelin' (1965)	Pub. date 1965 probable. You've Lost That Lovin' Feelin' reached Billboard U.S. #1 in December 1964, and is referred to as a past hit in the liner note by Phil Spector.
jaimeeduardo 2nd Oct 2013		Vinyl Album Dave Edmunds - Subtle As A Flying Mallet (1975)	An ambitious solo project in homage to some great hits of the past including Baby I Love You by The Ronettes, Maybe by The Chantels, Da Doo Ron Ron by The Crystals, and Born to be With You by The Chordettes. Reliving Arlene Smith's soaring soprano lead on Maybe must have been a challenge.
jaimeeduardo 1st Oct 2013		Vinyl Album Various Artists - Schlagerrallye (1965)	A compilation from Germany including some charming instrumentals and a few cringe inducing novelty songs (track A4 is a German translation of Don't Go Near the Indians, a hit in 1962 for Rex Allen). Of two gems here, one is Ob in Bombay, ob in Rio with the exotic sounding German of Italian Swiss speaker Anita Traversi. A sweeping ballad with beautiful lyrics and melody, plus an unforgettable arrangement (think that's a tuba sinking to the bottom of its range at song end). The other gem is Wilhelm Tell Twist, irresistible with its energy, good humor and engagingly gruff vocal. Pub. date 1965 is an estimate.
jaimeeduardo 1st Oct 2013		Vinyl Album Los Lobos - How Will The Wolf Survive? (1984)	Cat. no. 9 25177-1 appears only on container spine; the "9" appears about an inch from the rest of the number.
jaimeeduardo 1st Oct 2013		Vinyl Album Various Artists - 20 Gold Originals (1970)	This 20-track compilation contains many top original hits; sound quality is acceptable for having so many tracks per side. Pub. date 1970 is approximate. Tracks date from ca. 1966-1970. No publisher or place of publication given. Could be a bootleg, but was purchased originally from a standard retail outlet. Note the goof on container for Bill Deal & The Rhondells: "Big Deal & The Rhondells."
jaimeeduardo 1st Oct 2013		Vinyl Album Bad Company - Rough Diamonds (1982)	Personnel: Boz Burrell–bass Simon Kirke–drums Mick Ralphs–all guitars except Paul Rodgers–vocals and lead guitar
