LaurenceD SUBS 10th Sep 2024		Vinyl Album Conching Rosal - Conching Rosal Sings Kundiman	The liner notes mention a TV appearance (DZAQ-TV) in late 1957. This LP is probably from 1958 or shortly thereafter.
LaurenceD SUBS 28th Aug 2024		Vinyl Album [no artist listed] - Sound Of Mucus (1974)	A live recording of the revue; enclosed in a plain white cover with no additional information. The playbill image is from this website. The full playbill can be seen here A sampling of their other productions: "Beyond the Syringe" (1964) "Scar Trek" (1975) "Back To The Suture" (1990) "Thoracic Park" (1994) "Saving Ryan's Privates" (1999)
LaurenceD SUBS 28th Aug 2024		Vinyl Album Santo And Johnny - Golden Guitars (1968)	Promotional mono releases (LP-9366) were issued, in a stereo cover with a sticker.
LaurenceD SUBS 25th Aug 2024		Vinyl Album Rose Maddox - A Big Bouquet Of Rose's (1961)	Mono cover image (2797009) has been moved to T 1548 (and hidden).
LaurenceD SUBS 23rd Aug 2024		Vinyl Album Various Artists - The Sound Of Fame (1961)	Looks like the first pressings had matrix numbers { M8OP-7349 / M8OP-7350 }. Mine has { SR4M-5350 / SR4M-5351 } which would suggest a 1965 pressing.
LaurenceD SUBS 23rd Aug 2024		Vinyl Album Johnny Gunn, Don Ralke - Introspection IV (1960)	Sorry for the missing cover; I found this record, which appears to be a test pressing, in a plain sleeve, and bought it out of curiosity. The previous owner had written 'odd ball' on it, and that is a pretty accurate description; this is one strange listening experience - a bit like a series of miniature stories from the Twilight Zone. I'm keeping an eye out for a proper copy of this LP...
LaurenceD SUBS 17th Aug 2024		Vinyl Album Ravi Shankar - Sitar Recital (1973)	Odeon stickers covering the HMV logo on the cover & labels. The sticker on the side two label of my copy detached itself as I was scanning it.
LaurenceD SUBS 17th Aug 2024		Vinyl Album Aniqa Bano - Basic Potohari	Probably released ca. 1978, but cannot confirm.
LaurenceD SUBS 15th Aug 2024		Vinyl Album Big Jim Sullivan - Sullivan Plays O'Sullivan (1973)	I see that both front and back cover photos are reversed (Jim played right-handed).
LaurenceD SUBS 12th Aug 2024		Vinyl Album Spinners - Pick Of The Litter (1975)	Alternate B3 track title on label (3643895): They Just Can't Stop It the (Games People Play)
LaurenceD SUBS 12th Aug 2024		Vinyl Album Judy Garland - Judy (1956)	Added label scans { 3643872, 3643874 } from a later pressing. Note that track B1 has been re-titled "Maybe I'll Come Back" and credited to composers Charles L. Cook & Howard C. Jeffrey.
LaurenceD SUBS 2nd Aug 2024		Vinyl Album Sheb Wooley - Tales Of How The West Was Won (1963)	Added alternate label scans. Note the difference in track order for A4 & B1 between labels { 784611, 784612 } versus mine { 3636304, 3636305 }. Playing my copy, the track order matches my labels (and the cover back), so I have rearranged the track listing accordingly.
LaurenceD SUBS 2nd Aug 2024		Vinyl Album Buddy Starcher - History Repeats Itself (1966)	These were all newly recorded tracks ca. May 1966, including "History Repeats Itself". There was also a Starday LP with the same title (SLP 382) released about the same time as this one. That other LP consists mainly of recycled tracks from 1959-62, except for "History Repeats Itself" which is performed by Minnie Pearl, recorded in 1964.
LaurenceD SUBS 19th Jul 2024		Vinyl Album Bo Grumpus - Before The War (1968)	From what I can determine, it looks like mono pressings were issued for promotional purposes only.
LaurenceD SUBS 17th Jul 2024		Vinyl Album Steve Bailey, Ira Cook, Vin Scully - Dodgers '59 (1959)	This LP describes highlights of the Dodgers' 1959 regular season, including the best-of-three tiebreaker series against the Milwaukee Braves. I guess that they had a deadline to get the record into stores, because they didn't wait to document the World Series results. A summary of the highlights (all from the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum): Side 1: - Roy Campanella Night, May 7: an exhibition game vs. the Yankees, who made a special trip to L.A. for the event. - Giants visiting on June 30: a fly ball from Willie Mays bounced off a foul ball girder, triggering a series of arguments between managers, coaches & umpires. Side 2: - Giants visiting on August 31: Koufax strikes out 18 - Pirates visiting on September 11: Scully is calling the home game as well as providing updates from the Phillies-Giants game at Seals Stadium. Fans in the stands are listening to the broadcast on their transistor radios. When he announces that the Phillies have won, the crowd erupts into cheers. Players on the field are looking around wondering what just happened. - Milwaukee visiting on September 29: Dodgers win 2nd playoff game, clinching the pennant.
LaurenceD SUBS 9th Jul 2024		Vinyl Album Dick Dale And His Del-Tones - Surfer's Choice (1963)	This entry is for the Duophonic issue (DT-1886). The images submitted by Jacques RAILLARD are from a mono pressing (T-1886), so they have been moved over here.
LaurenceD SUBS 7th Jul 2024		Vinyl Album The San Francisco 49ers - Sing Holiday Halftime (1970)	Manlius issued an LP for each of the 26 NFL teams (Quality issued some or all of these albums for Canada). Each team's LP uses the same artwork and liner notes; however the song selections vary slightly for each LP. Jacques Urbont conducted the backing tracks in Yugoslavia; those tracks were then taken to the various NFL training camps to record the vocals. A good story about the making of these albums at: deadspin.com
LaurenceD SUBS 5th Jul 2024		Vinyl Album Benny Goodman - The Complete Benny Goodman, Volume VIII (1980)	Last volume in the Complete Benny Goodman series Of the 30 tracks on this album: - 17 were previously unissued takes - 2 were previously unissued in the U.S.
LaurenceD SUBS 3rd Jul 2024		Vinyl Album Jack Webb - You're My Girl (1958)	It looks like the stereo version was released a couple of weeks after the mono.
LaurenceD SUBS 1st Jul 2024		Vinyl Album W.C. Fields - Temperance Lecture	This appears to be a second pressing on this label; other version with same # does not state "Rerecording". Released in 1950 or 1954, not sure.
LaurenceD SUBS 1st Jul 2024		Vinyl Album Raun MacKinnon - Raun Is Her Name! (1968)	Mono promo disc in a stereo cover with sticker. For this release, I think that mono pressings were only issued for promotional purposes.
LaurenceD SUBS 1st Jul 2024		Vinyl Album Bob Grossman - Cosmo Alley Presents Bob Grossman (1960)	You might recognize the name of the producer for this album...
LaurenceD SUBS 25th Jun 2024		Vinyl Album Asher Sizemore And Little Jimmie - Mountain Ballads And Old Hymns (1966)	According to Jimmie Sizemore, he and his dad had made transcriptions for World Broadcasting Co. Decca later acquired those masters; Owen Bradley found some of their recordings and released this album.
LaurenceD SUBS 23rd Jun 2024		Vinyl Album Joe Glazer, Charlie Byrd - Songs Of Work And Freedom (1960)	This pressing credits Orpheum Productions Inc. Also released as WR 460, with a different cover. That pressing credits Bill Grauer Productions Inc. (The Washington label was acquired by Riverside in 1961)
LaurenceD SUBS 23rd Jun 2024		Vinyl Album [no artist listed] - Ting 1:00 Announcements	The JAC recording studio opened in the late 1950s and the letters stood for Jack (Arnold) And Charlie (Leighton), who ran the operation. In the early days their main business was producing ads and jingles for radio advertising.
LaurenceD SUBS 14th Jun 2024		Vinyl Album Ralph Michele - Laughs To Tide You Over (1967)	Apparently Ralph Michele was a cruise director for Italian Line Cruises. He was on the Michelangelo ship, which was in use from 1965 - 1975. This does sound like it was recorded during an ocean cruise.
LaurenceD SUBS 14th Jun 2024		Vinyl Album Sam Cooke - Tribute To The Lady (1959)	I have hidden images 2963630 & 2963631 as those belong to the stereo release. After we have created a stereo entry for this album, we can move the images over there.
LaurenceD SUBS 6th Jun 2024		Vinyl Album Mose Allison - Creek Bank (1959)	Re track A4 composer: early pressings credit Willie Mabon; later pressings credit Mose Allison Re track B3 title: cover = Moon And Cypress; label = Moon And Cyprus
LaurenceD SUBS 6th Jun 2024		Vinyl Album Erroll Garner - Overture To Dawn Volume 4 (1953)	I'm not positive about the release date; Volume 3 was reviewed in Down Beat Dec 31 1952, and I think that volumes 3,4,5 were released together, but I cannot confirm that.
LaurenceD SUBS 6th Jun 2024		Vinyl Album Joel Cowan - Songs Heard Through A Keyhole (1960)	I entered the track titles per the labels; many differences on the cover listing.
