pudgym 8th Mar 2017		Vinyl Album Joyce Everson - Crazy Lady (1972)	Peter Frampton plays his electric guitar on this LP.
pudgym 8th Mar 2017		Vinyl Album Little Joe [Pesci] - Little Joe Sure Can Sing (1968)	I found this LP at a Woolworth's store. I think it was the one at Lincoln and School streets on the north side of Chicago. [The Lincoln \| Belmont \| Ashland shopping area.] It was 3 for $1.00.
pudgym 15th Feb 2017		Vinyl Album Various Artists - You Must Remember These Volume II (1972)	"Midnight Mary" is rechanneled stereo.
pudgym 15th Feb 2017		Vinyl Album Various Artists - History Of British Rock (1974)	Have a strong memory of buying this double LP, as well as Volume 2 for $2.50 each @ The Record Warehouse, a shop with only cut-out LPs, on N. Ravenswood St. north of Irving Park Rd. in Chicago. The catch was: You paid $1.25 times the number of records in each album. So a double LP was $2.50, a triple LP was $3.75, a quadruple LP was $5.00. I am pretty sure this was also how and where I bought the Nuggets compilation. Most likely this was when Sire switched distribution from ABC to Warner Bros. Did I see any Ramones LP? I honestly do not recall. But perhaps I was not looking through the "R" racks.
pudgym 15th Feb 2017		Vinyl Album Robert Klein - Child Of The 50's (1973)	Bought this LP for $1.99. Seem to recall hearing one track on Dr. Demento. ("This is the upper deck at Yankee Stadium. We'd like to cast 2,000 votes for the Teen Tones, and 26 votes for the one-armed piano player.")
pudgym 15th Feb 2017		Vinyl Album Ray D'Ariano - Are You On Something? (1973)	Good thing Columbia Records couldn't copyright the look of their 1960s LPs. ;=)} I bought this one for 59¢ in the late 1970s. Most of my LPs *have never been played*. I just never got around to doing so.
pudgym 15th Feb 2017		Vinyl Album Various Artists - 72 Original Hits (1972)	@Neil Forbes The LP cover design looks a lot like what was used for the "The Greatest 64 Motown Original Hits".
pudgym 15th Feb 2017		Vinyl Album Spanky And Our Gang - Anything You Choose b/w Without Rhyme Or Reason (1968)	Chicago's Kelly Hogan (from The Flat Five) just reviewed this LP in issue #64 of Shindig! Magazine (from the U.K.: £4.95 ~ $9.89). I have this LP. I paid 10¢ for it, as a cut-out, in a Musicland sidewalk sale back in the late 1970s.
pudgym 15th Feb 2017		Vinyl Album Gordon Jenkins And His Orchestra - Complete "Manhattan Tower" Newly Recorded In High-Fidelity (1956)	The LP Album front cover photograph was taken by Sammy Davis, Jr.!
pudgym 23rd Aug 2016		Vinyl Album Ben Colder - The Best Of Ben Colder (1968)	Cover illustrations by Jack Davis (MAD Magazine).
pudgym 23rd Aug 2016		Vinyl Album Tommy James - My Head, My Bed And My Red Guitar (1972)	An interesting composer credit on B4. Is this the last song he ever ‘*wrote*’? ;=)}
pudgym 16th Aug 2016		Vinyl Album Pete Wingfield - Breakfast Special (1975)	"The Cover Of 'Rolling Stone'" is one thing. But "Eighteen With A Bullet" *really was • #18 on Billboard's November 22, 1975 Hot 100 chart!* (It peaked at #15.)
pudgym 16th Aug 2016		Vinyl Album The Cowsills - The Best Of The Cowsills (1968)	Front cover illustration by Jack Davis (MAD magazine).
pudgym 16th Aug 2016		Vinyl Album John Lee Hooker - The Big Soul Of John Lee Hooker (1963)	Dead wax has “Audio Matrix” stamped into; Δ5287 2-18-63 written. 63-2957S (Side one) has the oval Vee-Jay label; 63-2958S (Side two) has the brackets Vee-Jay label. Back cover notes by John W. Peters.
pudgym 16th Aug 2016		Vinyl Album Frank Ifield - I Remember You (1962)	This was the performer Vee Jay really wanted. But it finally relented and accepted the recordings of an English quartet with guitars and a buggy-sounding name of which Capitol had declined its option. (!)
pudgym 16th Aug 2016		Vinyl Album Bee Gees - Trafalgar (1971)	"How Can You Mend A Broken Heart" was originally offered to Andy Williams, but he declined to record it.
pudgym 16th Aug 2016		Vinyl Album Disco Tex And His Sex-O-Lettes - Disco Tex & The Sex-O-Lettes Review Starring Sir Monti Rock III (1975)	'Disco Tex' portrayed by *Sir Monti Rock III*, a semi-frequent guest on "The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson".
pudgym 16th Aug 2016		Vinyl Album Isley Brothers - Doin’ Their Thing (1969)	For some questionable (I'm being polite here) reason, these are the tracks which were not* leased to Legacy Records* for the 23 CD release of the Isley Bros.' 1959-1983 records.
pudgym 16th Aug 2016		Vinyl Album Melanie - Garden In The City (1971)	Record pressed at American Record Pressing in Owosso, MI. Supposedly released in March 1972; but does not have the ℗ mark.
pudgym 16th Aug 2016		Vinyl Album Andy Kim - Andy Kim's Greatest Hits (1971)	I can't get to a lot of my LPs currently. But on my printed list (from June 1978), I've scribed this as being on (ABC)Dunhill. Is this possible?
pudgym 16th Aug 2016		Vinyl Album Three Dog Night - Hard Labor (1974)	Another 1970s *censored* album cover. Some vinyl LPs did get out without the bandage on the cover, as well as most of the 8-track cartridges.
pudgym 12th Aug 2016		Vinyl Album The Electric Indian - Keem-O-Sabe (1969)	The record was produced by Len Barry, which probably accounts for track B5.
pudgym 12th Aug 2016		Vinyl Album Nino Tempo And April Stevens - All Strung Out (1967)	Added back cover image.
pudgym 12th Aug 2016		Vinyl Album Red Sovine - Teddy Bear (1976)	The reissue has lime labels. I will get around to posting them. Shown address for Gusto Records: 220 Boscobel St. Nashville, Tennessee 37213
pudgym 3rd Aug 2016		Vinyl Album Gene Pitney - It Hurts To Be In Love And Eleven More Hit Songs (1964)	I have this in Stereo (MS-3019). The cover has a black-filled box with 'Two / Smash Hits / in this album / "It Hurts To Be In Love" / also / "I'm Gonna Be Strong"' stenciled out just to the right of the 'y' in Pitney. Musicor label is orange. TM ® Talmadge Productions / Made in U.S.A. at bottom.
pudgym 3rd Aug 2016		Vinyl Album John Lee Hooker - The Big Soul Of John Lee Hooker (1963)	My copy of this shows Stereophonic, and seems to play stereo. “Audio Matrix” stamped into; Δ5287; 2-18-63 in dead wax. 63-2957S (Side one) has the oval Vee-Jay label; 63-2958S (Side two) has the brackets Vee-Jay label. Back cover notes by John W. Peters.
