Comments and Reviews


Record Collector 4th Apr 2024		This album will be turning 50 in August and i still have mine and it's in top condition.



Record Collector 3rd Apr 2024		The Full Version of The Entertainer by New England Conservatory Ragtime Ensemble



Mark Taylor 22nd Sep 2016		How fitting RC. An HMV playing an HMV LOL. Mind you, Gran had that model record player as well, but the needles never seemed to last long.



Record Collector 7th Oct 2015		and this is how I heard explosive hits 74 for the very first time



Neil Forbes 26th Sep 2015		Okay, composer credits are now added.



Record Collector 26th Sep 2015		Ahh yes remembers my mother played this when I came home from school on a HMV Mercury record player



Neil Forbes 26th Sep 2015		There was another "ring-in" in the form of Billy Thorpe's "Over The Rainbow", it's the 1965 version with The Aztecs omitted from the credits. Also, with a nod to, The Bear, I'll add the composer credits.



Record Collector 31st Jul 2015		This was released in August of that year so you have twelve months worth of tracks



Neil Forbes 31st Jul 2015		There were two "ring-in" versions on here as well. A6 by the New England Conservatory Ragtime Ensemble, as opposed to Marvin Hamlisch and A9 by Bobby Wright as opposed to Terry Jacks. Easy enough to explain. EMI Australia did not have access to MCA content, even though EMI in Britain was distributing the MCA label through 1973 and 1974. So EMI(Aust.) couldn't use the Marvin Hamlisch version of "The Entertainer". And a local artist's version of "Seasons In The Sun" had to suffice as EMI had lost the Bell label(which had the Terry Jacks version) to Phonogram(as it was then). EMI regained the Bell label in 1975, just in time to see the name changed to Arista.



Record Collector 31st Jul 2015		Most of the tracks are available on cd some of them are hard to find that I'm looking for



Record Collector 31st Jul 2015		Priced at $4.99



Neil Forbes 31st Jul 2015		RC's comment: "The cassette had had a blue border but due to age it's now green" Aah, fading memories.... NO I absolutely *REFUSE* to sing that Barbra Streisand song....! Ha-Ha!



Neil Forbes 31st Jul 2015		... A "Yogi", RC? That's more than I can "bear"! Ha-Ha!



Record Collector 31st Jul 2015		The cassette had had a blue border but due to age it's now green haha



Record Collector 31st Jul 2015		As Neil pointed out someone made a yogi with the label should have been hmv rather EMI as its a distributor



Neil Forbes 31st Jul 2015		Actually, RC, K-Mart(Australia) IS related to the American K-Mart. That's why the trademark is the same. Ours is a division, the American is the parent organisation.



Lee Wrecker 31st Jul 2015		I have to admit I have this one too. Some handy 70's rock and pop for a DJ or just for fun. As far as these kind of compilations go this one has fair share of killer tracks but there is still a fair bit of filler to wade through.



Record Collector 31st Jul 2015		My family's first record album bought from Kmart (no relation to American store of the same name) this would be my favourite albums out of my collection after forty years still plays good



Neil Forbes 31st Jul 2015		Technically speaking, the label isn't EMI but His Master's Voice, one of EMI's two "flagship" labels, the other is, of course, Columbia(or at least it was).



Record Collector 31st Jul 2015		Well looks like I struck gold
