Tom Jones

A few now from Bob !!..and I should think that this one was recorded very early in Toms career !!!..the sideburns and hairstyle gives it away !!....Thanks Bob !







5. The Young New Mexican Puppeter</>

Erroll Garner


A little piano music before we have the organ music below !!...and the title of this L/P says it all !!





1. On The Sunny Side Of The Street

Timi Yuro


We are still in Belgium sorting through Bobs L/P's and we have a compilation of songs from the 50' & 60's and some info and pics of the original singers who made the songs hits including Timi's hit.....a good well thought out back sleeve !!








5. Cry

Bing Crosby

Re-Post Requested By Sean Brosnan


This one consists of original recordings....I think I would be right in saying that this one was maybe late 30's as well !!....a very young "Bing" singing songs of the day!!!!




9. Them There Eyes

Bing Crosby

Re-Post Requested By Sean Brosnan



So now we have "Mr Crosby" up to date can't see any date on the sleeve so it's a guessing game.....and I'll have a guess at the date based on it was recorded in "London" and also the arrangments late 80's I would say...be nice if some one had a date....or I Could "Google" The L/P and see what comes up....Yep that's what I'll do now !!!!!.......Well now! I was wrong the video I found singing the title song "That's what love Is all About" from "The Vera Lynn Show" In 1975...so we can presume that it was recorded about that time 1975 !!
Thanks for this gem "Bob" !!






2. Breezing Along With The Breeze

Andre Brasseur


Some organ music now but with a difference its seems to have an orchestra with it and it gives it a completely different sound to the normal Synthesizer Organ Music....Or is there no Orchestra and as the back sleeve say's

Mediafire !

Starting with the Post below I am also going to use "Mediafire" as well as Zippy and if it works out better then I will change to Mediafire....so all above this post will have 2 choices of download !!

Fingers Crossed !!

It seems like the L/P's that I re-posted are still there and have not been deleted...lets see what happens to the ones I have just posted...if they get deleted along with the others well have to get my thinking cap on for somewhere new !!...lets hope its just a glitch on Zippyshare !!

Zippyshare Error !!

It seems that Zippyshare is doing a bit of a wobbler !!.....I will re- up the last 4 posts and see what happens.....If any of the other Music blogs that use Zippyshare is having the same trouble let me know.....seems that all my recent posts says "File does not exist on this server" even when I have just posted them.....Cheers...Luigi

Colin Davis & BBC Symphony Orchestra ..320 Kbps


We now have a great classical L/P with a difference....Explanations my be necessary for people who don't get our English peculiar ways !..Imagine over 6000 people going to a classical concert and brings with them.. Slogan Banners ! Gaudy Umbrellas ! Silly Hats ! Boaters with Union Jacks On Them ! Toy Trumpets ! Squeakers ! Referee Whistles ! Streamers ! Balloons ! and So on !!...recommend that you read the Back sleeve to get the whole of the picture !!
Side two is a corker !!...and the whole Concert is well worth a listen too.....This was recorded in 1969 and 1971...It would be great to hear from anyone who has been to a  "Last Night At The Proms" at the Albert Hall London and hear what they have to say !!

Just a little bit of the back cover notes to give you an idea of how it all started !!







This sound  bite is just a track of the rehearsal of the above "The Stone Wall"....to hear what happens you will have to have a listen !!


5. The Stone Wall

Johnny Mathis..320 Kbps


This compilation of JM's songs has the distinction of being introduced by him and him vocalising a signing off at the end....No new tracks just ones from his early L/P's and most of the duets that he has done.... 20 tracks so you have a cross section of his songs all styles !!




Glenn Miller & His Orchestra..320..Kbps


I'm disappointed with this one !...its another "Electronically Created Stereo" and this one doesn't seem to work they have separated the instruments to give a stereo effect and have lessened the "Glenn Miller Sound" so it sounds just like a random big band !!...the other one I have posted earlier  that had the ECS sounded great and it also a RCA International L/P....So the little man at the controls of the knobs and sliders perhaps wasn't listening too well !! on this one !.....Maybe it's my ears but would like a comment on this one !!

The Platters


A release from "The Readers Digest" stable....I believe these are the original recordings and not some re- recordings...so you have some of the Platters hits plus some well known standards !!..cheers Bob !!




12. Stormy Weather

Psychedelic. VA

Psychedelic music emerged during the 1960s among folk and rock bands in the United States and the United Kingdom, creating the subgenres of psychedelic folk, psychedelic rock, acid rock, and psychedelic pop before declining in the early 1970s. Numerous spiritual successors followed in the ensuing decades, including progressive rock, krautrock, and heavy metal. Since the 1970s, revivals have included psychedelic funk, neo-psychedelia, and psychedelic hip hop, as well as psychedelic electronic genres such as acid house, trance music, and new rave.

Mud


Mud (now Mud II) are an English glam rock band, formed in February 1966. Their earlier success came in a pop and then glam rock style, while later hits were influenced by 1950s rock and roll, and are best remembered for their hit singles "Tiger Feet", which was the UK's best-selling single of 1974, and "Lonely This Christmas" which reached Christmas number 1 in December 1974. After signing to Rak Records and teaming up with songwriters/producers Nicky Chinn and Mike Chapman, the band had fourteen UK Top 20 hits between 1973 and 1976, including three number ones.




6. Oh Boy

Diana Ross


A hop skip and a jump across the pond ! then leap frog over the British Isles and we land in Belgium ! to catch up on some of Bob's contributions ...And we have what seems to be and is ! a TV show there is no info on the back cover so I would guess that it would be round about late 60's early 70's...with The Jackson 5....interesting that "Randy Newman's" "Love Story" is featured !!....



Top Of The Pops No 3 VA


Now here is Number 3 of  TOTP's series !!..I wonder what number it will be before the Ladies on the front cover starts undressing !!.....And with that thought in mind we leave the record store in New York !!...thanks John !!!
