Can anyone help me please to date Slim Clark's recordings? Most of his records had no dates and discographies are incomplete. I am in touch with his family, who are helping. If anyone out there knows dates of his early albums your help would be greatly appreciated

Hi Kendall

yes, I know you were a long time friend. I am a UK friend of Kenny Roberts and Kenny introduced me to Slim.

I have been speaking with Kathie and Jewel but at the moment, the dates of recordings and dates of issue of some of the old pre-Palomino albums are quite important to a project i am doing and they don't have the necessary details. I really need to make contact with a collector who bought the albums as they were released. Would you be able to help?

Sorry, I can't. Slim was recording for Palomino when I first met him back in 1950.

Yodeling Slim Clark began recording around 1946 for CONTINENTAL
RECORDS (these are 78rpm records).
There are a number of online sources for information - such as
BILLBOARD magazine, many issues are available via Google Books.
There is a website devoted to REMINGTON Records which reissued
many of his 78rpm releases on LP.
Please provide some information about your project, and the amount
of detail you are looking for.
Best wishes, Thomas.

I stand corrected, it was Continental records, not Palomino. That came later.

Apologies to all and thank you for your ideas, I have been away from the forum for a few weeks but in the meantime we have made a lot of progress. The project will be a 2CD set of Continental and Wheeling recordings of Slim including many tracks never released except on original 78s and 45s.

I am currently writing liner notes and am trying to ascertain who the writer credits should be for some of the songs. If anyone can help, the songs we don't know for sure are:

Queen Of The Rockies
The Big Stampede
The Girl I Left Behind Me
Ol' Zebra Dun
Git Along To The Big Corral
The Blue Tail Fly
I'm Riding Ol' Paint
I've Got No Use Fopr The Women
Yellow Rose Of Texas
Billy Venero
Texas In The Spring
Just Riding On Memories
The Fox
The Cowboy's Dream
The Swiss Yodeling Cowboy
Whoopy Ti Yi Yo
When I Ride The Range Of Gold
So Dear To Me
Sleepy Time Yodel
The Abilene Drive

The original records gave no credits - I suspect some are "Traditional", some may have been written by Slim or his fiorst wife, Celia but I can't be sure. Can anyone help please?
