old record nut 1st Nov 2024		Vinyl Album Johnny Bond - Ten Little Bottles	All the big record labels had a mail club. You start by getting some albums cheap then you had buy an album a month or they would send the record of the month of their choice and a bill for the MSRP. I found this album in the charity shop still sealed and I'll bet the person that got it didn't ask for it.
old record nut 31st Oct 2024		Vinyl Album Puttin' On The Ritz - Steppin' Out (1984)	Good Jazz... NOT DISCO!
old record nut 10th Aug 2024		Vinyl Album The Duke Of Paducah - Button Shoes, Belly Laughs And Monkey Business (1962)	The cover says "this album is banned for radio stations everywhere" so now I want to find one!
old record nut 10th Aug 2024		Vinyl Album Various Artists - Country Sweethearts (1966)	My mono copy has an entirely different cover, the record number SLP8-385 is for the mono disc.
old record nut 10th Aug 2024		Vinyl Album Various Artists - Country Music Spectacular (1960)	On the cover the songs are listed with out the artist name with a few artist listed on the other side of the cover because the songs are cover versions.
old record nut 23rd Sep 2023		Vinyl Album Neil Sedaka - Неожиданный успех (1978)	Are the records like this pressed in The Soviet Union bootlegs ???
old record nut 17th Feb 2023		Vinyl Album Various Artists - A King & Two Queens (1964)	A good album of ballads some of them are sad, and then there is B5 with that Hound dawg (aka Dobro) cheering you up.
old record nut 15th Jan 2023		Vinyl Album The Monkees - Headquarters (1967)	So why not add this odd back cover to the Canadian entry for the ones that want to see it. Let's "unhide" image 457026 !
old record nut 25th Oct 2022		Vinyl Album High Country - High Country (1971)	5 hippie lookin' dudes that are playing some damn good traditional bluegrass.Every track on this album is great.
old record nut 4th Jan 2021		Vinyl Album Ernest Tubb And His Texas Troubadours - Blue Christmas (1964)	When the band starts playing there is no doubt you are going to be hearing a fine Tubb vocal. There is no BS here, this is good stuff.
old record nut 1st Feb 2020		Vinyl Album Various Artists - The RCA Victor Blues And Rhythm Revue (1987)	D'Natural Blues sounds like The Hucklebuck & Butcher Boy sounds like Don't Roll Those blood-shot eyes at me, and so does Squeeze me.
old record nut 21st Jan 2020		Vinyl Album Various Artists - Where Were You When... (1970)	So to reply to your question edlongus, I think it could be a a remake but i'm not sure what they did here because Dot may have bought the recording when they signed Dodie.. The hit 45 was not a Dot record. It was on Crystalette records #724. I don't have an original mono version.The Stereo version is also on another CD I have (Chills & Fever The Dot Story, One Day 3CD050 ,British) The song runs 2:21 on that CD & the 45 label pictured on 45cat has 2:20 as the time.Another member on 45 cat posted the track from the Brussels CD It has a Black and white photo on the cover you can check it out.It is very common for an artist to remake their hits when they change labels.Dot was selling stereo albums in late '58.
old record nut 19th Jan 2020		Vinyl Album Various Artists - Where Were You When... (1970)	In my opinion the Stevens track on this album is reprocessed into stereo. A radio station in Boston (WROR) was playing oldies in the 70s (from the 50s) and it was automated meaning the station had tape machines mixing and airing music. The station was Stereo-FM and the tape suppler made the music sound stereo even if it wasn't and you could tell it wasn't as good.The CD Dodie Stevens Ultimate Collection (Marginal Records CDMAR 051, Brussels) has the true stereo version on it and I used that for comparison.
old record nut 18th Jan 2020		Vinyl Album Various Artists - Where Were You When... (1970)	... and it's good they did because if you missed the 45 it wasn't easy to get the old songs before the great CD reissue of anything you could want. Now if you want an artist in your collection it only takes a few clicks at C. C. Music . com or Oldies . com or whatever.
old record nut 18th Jan 2020		Vinyl Album Various Artists - The Rarest Of The Rare Collectors Showcase Volume 1 (1990)	At first I though the artist at B1 was a misprint because there were half dozen or so groups with the name Corvettes. This is indeed correct . The Carvettes had at least one record that I could find and It was A Lover's Prayer b/w Never Gonna Leave Me (Copa 200 - in 1959 ) B8 is Please Be My Girlfriend - The Confidential 4 on Boss records 001.
old record nut 18th Jan 2020		Vinyl Album Various Artists - The Best Vocal Groups in Rhythm And Blues (1957)	I am not sure what to believe about this album. Mine has this cover with a solid maroon Dootone label with 1955 copyright at the bottom. This entry lists 1957 but the address on the back has a 5 digit zip code that was started in 1963.Something is fishy here! The music is damn good, for sure.
old record nut 4th Jan 2020		Vinyl Album Various Artists - Rock And Roll At The Capitol Tower, Volume 3 (1978)	C7 is a misprint on the cover and label, should be "Down On The Corner Of Love" Capitol 45 F3557 from 1956. D2 is a misprint s/b Rockin' at the Drive-in (Capitol F-3965 from 1958)
old record nut 22nd Dec 2019		Vinyl Album Various Artists - Screwballs Of Swingtime	Title is Screwballs Of Swingtime. search failed had to use label to find it.
old record nut 21st Dec 2019		Vinyl Album Various Artists - Rock And Roll At The Capitol Tower (1975)	D1 is a misprint on the album cover and label. Title is "You Oughta See Grandma Rock". Photo of record on 45 cat.
old record nut 20th Dec 2019		Vinyl Album The Zombies - Time Of The Zombies (1974)	This album did not make BB top 200 album chart.It "bubbled" under at # 204 entering May 25. 1974 and staying for 6 weeks.
old record nut 20th Dec 2019		Vinyl Album Various Artists - The Early Years (The Greatest Hits Of The 30's & 40's) (1973)	Record one in this set should have "The Early Years"(DS 862) on the label. The record listed here is "The Best Of The Hit Parade"( DS 861) as side A & B . Sides C & D are correct.The Best Of The Hit Parade is Columbia House set P2S 5652.
old record nut 20th Dec 2019		Vinyl Album Various Artists - The Best Of The Hit Parade (1973)	Daddy (B1) sounds a little strange with vocal by Kyser and the boys!!! That's Dick Haymes doing the vocal on the 1944 #1 hit at B4. Kitty Kallen is singing the #1 hit from 1945 at C2. The transfer to microgroove could have been better on some of these tracks but to be fair it was done pre-digital.
old record nut 20th Dec 2019		Vinyl Album Paul Revere And The Raiders Featuring Mark Lindsay - A Christmas Present...And Past (1967)	OldMod67 thanks. I had heard guid several times but never knew what it meant.Pence,Pound, Crown and shillings I get.
old record nut 19th Dec 2019		Vinyl Album Neil Young / Neil And The Shocking Pinks - Everybody's Rockin' (1983)	Don't be so quick to call this purposefully uncommercial because it was released during the time the Stray Cats were near the top of the U.S. charts. This album made # 46 in the U.S. & # 50 in England on the album charts.
old record nut 19th Dec 2019		Vinyl Album Paul Revere And The Raiders Featuring Mark Lindsay - A Christmas Present...And Past (1967)	So that's what that's all about !!!
old record nut 19th Dec 2019		Vinyl Album Dwight Yoakam - Hillbilly Deluxe (1987)	He brought Alt. Country into the mainstream,and did a great job doin' it !
old record nut 17th Dec 2019		Vinyl Album Various Artists - M.G.M. Rockabilly Collection (1977)	The gem in this collection is by the old timer that helped make Country Music, Carson Robinson. He put his take on Rock 'n' Roll on disc in the last year of his life.
old record nut 17th Dec 2019		Vinyl Album The Wrens - The Best Of The Wrens (1986)	A1 should have been a much bigger hit than just a New York regional.Reissue compiled & produced by Bob Hyde & Little Walter.
old record nut 15th Dec 2019		Vinyl Album The Womenfolk - Man Oh Man! (1966)	I'm pretty sure this is a 1966 release.
