spreadjoy 25th Feb 2016 | | Vinyl AlbumPete Fountain / The Sunsetters - Pete Fountain / The Sunsetters (1967) | As Cameo - Parkway Records of Philadelphia were in the death throws they started Wyncote as a re-issue label. It had a very poor reputation for both Cover & Vinyl quality. Why Pete Fountain found himself on Wyncote just amazes me.
Song writers not noted at all on this record release.
I suspect that The Sunsetters wrote their material, they were a very polished group.
I have searched just everywhere for their product writers.
The Sunsetters seemed to have released about 1964-1967 on
Dearborn, Abbott, Heartbeat (Pickwick) and of course Wyncote
|
spreadjoy 25th Feb 2016 | | Vinyl AlbumPete Fountain - Those Were The Days (1969) | The Inner Gatefold Left was simply a Coral Promo page.
None of the song writers were listed either on the Cover or Label.
California Summer was also recorded & charted about the same time as this album release: Vincent Bell & The Marketts
Puddin' was harder to track down, as this is the only place (to date) where it appears on Pete Fountain Albums or singles for that matter.
Puddin' by Different composers:-
Buie & Cobb 1969
Duane Eddy 1965
Ernie Freeman 1958
Roy Clark 1958

|
spreadjoy 18th Feb 2016 | | Vinyl AlbumPete Fountain And "Big" Tiny Little - Mr. New Orleans Meets Mr. Honky Tonk (1960) | Sorry about the back cover.
Took awhile to warm to this outing.
Seemed to be a very odd coupling, but after having listening a few times,
really enjoy. A wee bit distracted by the use of STEREO.
Very much a Pete Fountain Album.
|
spreadjoy 17th Feb 2016 | | Vinyl AlbumPete Fountain With Al Hirt - Bourbon Street (1961) | An interesting record, Pete Fountain WITH Al Hirt.
Al had many RCA albums by this time. His hits include:
Java #4, Cotton Candy #15, Sugar Lips #30, Up Above My Head (I Hear Music In The Air) #85, all these in 1964.
Fancy Pants #47, Al's Place #57, The Silence (Il Silenzio), 1965
Keep The Ball Rolling #100, 1968.
This Album is a Pete Fountain record with Al Hirt helping out.
|
spreadjoy 17th Feb 2016 | | Vinyl AlbumAl Hirt And Pete Fountain - Block Bustin' Dixie (1961) | Pete Fountain plays the Tenor Sax on Washington And Lee Swing.
Pete & Al did record an album for Coral CRL 57389 / CRL 757389, "Bourbon Street" in 1962.
|
spreadjoy 14th Feb 2016 | | Vinyl AlbumThe Basin Street Six - Dixieland From New Orleans: The Basin Street Six (1950) | Oh to own this record, priced at $200.00 I guess I will not see it anytime soon.
Pete admits to being able to 'improvise' before he could read music.
I would love to hear Pete on the Tenor Sax
He was once asked what was his greatest talent, he said "his ear", his ability to pick any note or notes and reproduce them.
