laviolet 8th Oct 2023		Vinyl Album Earl King - Trick Bag	Collection of single tracks released on the Imperial and Post labels between 1960 and 1962. Includes King's most covered song "Come On" (also known as "Let the Good Times Roll"), his only chart entry "Always a First Time", and his signature song "Trick Bag." [YouTube Video] [YouTube Video]
laviolet 8th Apr 2020		Vinyl Album The Olympics - The Official Record Album Of The Olympics	The 1984 Olympics were the first games to be heavily commercialized, with products designated as the "Official [whatever] of the Olympics." Any parties using "Olympics" without sanction risked being hauled to court. The cover title was Rhino's wry trolling of the greedy organizers.
laviolet 16th Dec 2017		Vinyl Album The Meters - Fire On The Bayou	Fire on the Bayou was the first Meters album with Cyril Neville, youngest of the Neville brothers, as official member. "Mardi Gras Mambo," although credited to the Meters, wasn't written by them. It's the same song recorded 20 years earlier by Art Neville's first band, the Hawketts. A longer version of "Running Fast" was released on 45 RPM as the B side of "They All Ask'd For You" and later included on CD editions.
laviolet 5th Mar 2017		Vinyl Album Various Artists - All These Things	This is an almost-but-not-quite reissue of the 1967 Instant LP; Ernie K-Doe's "Come on Home" (a Minit recording) replaced Aaron Neville's "For Every Boy There's a Girl" as the closing track.
laviolet 5th Mar 2017		Vinyl Album Various Artists - All These Things	Songwriters: Lee Dorsey, Renald Richard (B3) Chris Kenner (A3, B2) Earl King (B4, as "S. Johnson") Roger Leon Jr., Earl Oropeza, Ray Theriot (A4) Raymond Lewis (B5) Art Neville (B6) Huey Smith, Brenda Brandon (A5) Allen Toussaint (A1, A2, A6, B1) Here's an excerpt from the sleeve notes by Greg Mason, program director of WNOE radio, referring to a pompous magazine article: "... it was jarring to hear listed among the NEWCOMERS, names like Art Neville and Lee Dorsey. It is understandable that a song writer like Allen Toussaint might not be well known, even if Herman's Hermits (A Certain Girl), The Rolling Stones (Fortune Teller) and numerous other British groups had recorded much of his material. And admittedly Chris Kenner might be a strange name to some, even though his own original versions of “Land Of A Thousand Dances” and “I Like It Like That” were giants in R&B circles, before they became giants in the pop world when later redone by Cannibal And The Headhunters, and The Dave Clark Five respectively. But to dig these established greats as NEW artists!" In 1967, Lee Dorsey had had Top Ten hits with "Ya Ya" and "Working in the Coal Mine." Art Neville was mainly known for the local hit "All These Things" and wasn't quite an established great yet. That came with the Meters and the Neville Brothers. Allen Toussaint, of course, became very well known. The Instant label's biggest hit "I Like It Like That" is curiously absent from this compilation. Linked release on Bandy has different content; "For Every Boy There's a Girl" was replaced by Ernie K-Doe's "Come on Home," a Minit recording.
