Subject: Records you're Still Looking For From: Jerry Rasmussen Date: 03 Mar 05 - 11:57 AM Tops on my list was Skokiann by the Bullawayo Sweet Rhythm Band. It took me close to 30 years to finally find it re-issued. Don't Go To Strangers by the Orioles took even longer. The only re-issue was on a Boxed set of everything they ever recorded, which sold for something like $160. All the other collections left out Don't Go To Strangers. Finally, I found an import "Best Of" that has the recording on it. It sounded as sweet as I remember it, when I finally put the CD on to play. The original recording of The Mockingbird by the Four Lads has never been re-issued, but I still have my 45 rpm and a re-recorded version that isn't as good on another "Best Of" collection. Today, I ordered a not yet released CD of the Four Lads which has Harmony Brown on it... another recording I've wanted to hear again for years. That leaves Guitar Boogie Shuffle by the Supersonics (later "covered by the Ventures) Bluebird Over the Mountains by Ersel Hickey The first Insect Trust album, which HAS been re-issued but is a little pricey for my tastes I'm sure a couple of ohers will come to mind. Are there any recordings you've been looking for for years, and haven't found? Or found recently, as I have? Jerry |
Subject: RE: Records you're Still Looking For From: Wesley S Date: 03 Mar 05 - 01:50 PM Geoff Muldaur's "Sleepy Man Blues" I understand it was re-released in Japan but so far I've not been able to track it down. |
Subject: RE: Records you're Still Looking For From: John Hardly Date: 03 Mar 05 - 02:01 PM Within the last year I found, as reissues, two recordings for which I'd looked for years... Creighton Lindsey I Ain't Worried Michael Johnson There Is A Breeze |

Subject: RE: Records you're Still Looking For From: Bill D Date: 03 Mar 05 - 04:08 PM one record by a young banjo player of the 60s-Walter Forbes..with a version of Poor Ellen Smith on it..(I have one other LP by him already) and one that was borrowed and not returned 25+ years ago..."Logan English Sings the Woodie Guthrie Songbag" ..a wondererful LP! |

Subject: RE: Records you're Still Looking For From: GUEST,reggie miles Date: 03 Mar 05 - 04:41 PM I finally found information about a recording I've been looking for for about thirty years. It seems that a white Southern Gospel a cappella group known as the Harmoneers are responsible for the song that I've been searching for, "The Hallelujah Boogie". I suspected but could not remember that it was an RCA label 45rpm. I did remember that it was a green translucent record. I also found that is was recorded in the early 50s and that it is RCA #0321, but still have had no luck locating a copy. |
Subject: RE: Records you're Still Looking For From: GUEST,Dale Date: 03 Mar 05 - 05:52 PM Bill, I've got THREE albums by Walter Forbes, including the one in question. Ballads and Bluegrass RCA Victor 2472, 1962 Folk Song Festival RCA Victor 2670, 1963 Nashville Coyote JMI 4005, 1973 I saw Walter Forbes in person at the Grand Ol' Opry (I still remember that he did Cumberland Mountain Deer Chase!) and was mightily impressed. When I saw 2472 in the stores, I really wanted it and always intended to buy it, but money was tight in those days right after college, and I delayed too long. All of a sudden it was gone, and though I looked everywhere, I had no luck. Periodic searches over the years came up empty. Then two or three years ago, I saw the lot on eBay, and really jumped. I am not sure anymore, but I think I may have paid $15 for the three of them. At the moment, my equipment is not set up for ease of duplication, and I can't honestly say when it will be. We'll work on it. One you and I have discussed before, Bill, was the second Perry County Music Makers album on Davis Unlimited. Still no luck on that one. There are others, but that's enough for now. |
Subject: RE: Records you're Still Looking For From: johnross Date: 03 Mar 05 - 07:43 PM Here are a few that I would love to find: "Skiffle in Stereo" by the Orange Blossom Jug Five (Lyrichord LLST 773) -- Dave Van Ronk's first record "A Guy Called Carawan" Guy Carawan (English Columbia SX 6065) "Four For Fun" Rory & Alex McEwen with Richard and Carolyne [sic] Farina (Waverley ELP 113) -- a Scottish EP that included Richard Farina and his then wife Caroline Hester. "Home Made Songs and Ballads" Paul Clayton (Monument M4001/SM14001) |
Subject: RE: Records you're Still Looking For From: Jerry Rasmussen Date: 03 Mar 05 - 08:14 PM Johnross: I'd be real happy to find any of those, myself... You never know. Collectors Choice Music reissues a lot of unusual stuff... I was looking to replace my Kaleidescope album but never could find it as a reissue. Now Collectors Choice has a 3 CD set for $21.95 that includes all FOUR of their Epic albums... I also have picked up stuff on eBay... got all three Pennywhistler albums on vinyl for something like $15 total. I don't know that any of them have been reissued. Jerry |
Subject: RE: Records you're Still Looking For From: Bob Hitchcock Date: 03 Mar 05 - 08:16 PM An album I had owned in the 60's was "Boss Guitar" by Wes Montgomery. I lent it to someone in 1968 and never got it back, and as it was on the Riverside label it was never re-issued until recently. I now have it on CD with bonus tracks after 35 years of searching. Bob |
Subject: RE: Records you're Still Looking For From: Charley Noble Date: 03 Mar 05 - 08:54 PM I'm looking for a Rudy Vallee 78 with "Tattooed Lady" and "Tavern in the Town" on it recorded in 1934. I managed to miss nailing it on eBay a few weeks ago for $15. Charley Noble |
Subject: RE: Records you're Still Looking For From: Azizi Date: 03 Mar 05 - 09:43 PM I'm interested in a CD or record of the Missa Luba {the spelling may be wrong but it is an African mass with lots of drums and beautiful singing}.. Does anyone know anything about this record-starting with the correct spelling and the country- and where I could get a copy? |

Subject: RE: Records you're Still Looking For From: number 6 Date: 03 Mar 05 - 10:28 PM Joe Byrd and the Field Hippies one and only album The American Metaphysical Circus. In all seriousness this was a very tasteful album for it's time. It was released in 1969. sIx |
Subject: RE: Records you're Still Looking For From: Alba Date: 03 Mar 05 - 10:38 PM Still looking for an Album by the Band "Contraband" (70s) I think the Album is called Contraband too. My quest continues...:>) Blessings Jude |
Subject: RE: Records you're Still Looking For From: Stilly River Sage Date: 03 Mar 05 - 10:48 PM Did Ed McCurdy's various albums finally make it to CD? I let them go in a shrewd estate settlement because I thought I could replace them easily, only to find that I couldn't. Last time I looked, they were still out of circulation (and not rendered to CD). SRS |
Subject: RE: Records you're Still Looking For From: number 6 Date: 03 Mar 05 - 11:03 PM Jude .... the album Contraband is known as Live Band #1, recorded (live of course) at Pasadena Civic Auditorium. It's a bootleg release from 1970. sIx |
Subject: RE: Records you're Still Looking For From: GUEST,Gerry Date: 03 Mar 05 - 11:53 PM Judy Garland recorded Bei Mir Bistu Scheyn (not necessarily with that spelling) for one of the Andy Hardy movies. It was cut from the movie, but it's still around, and I'm looking for it. Well, I found it on a CD set that has dozens of other Judy Garland recordings, but it sells for more than I want to pay when I really only want the one track. Maybe I'll see it on a remainder table someday.... |
Subject: RE: Records you're Still Looking For From: Metchosin Date: 04 Mar 05 - 12:32 AM Azizi, I used to have a Missa Luba tape, I'll check to see if it is still about. |
Subject: RE: Records you're Still Looking For From: Metchosin Date: 04 Mar 05 - 12:35 AM Yup still here. It was given to me by a friend who had the original recording, I'll check with her for more info. |
Subject: RE: Records you're Still Looking For From: Azizi Date: 04 Mar 05 - 01:21 AM Wow! Metochosin, thanks!! That was fast! I'll PM you |
Subject: RE: Records you're Still Looking For From: Azizi Date: 04 Mar 05 - 01:31 AM Metchosin, I'm sorry I spelled your name wrong in my last post. I wasn't successful in PMing you even after copying the REAL way to spell your name {and even trying the small "m"]. Would you please PM me, and then I'll respond to that. Thanks!! |
Subject: RE: Records you're Still Looking For From: Margret RoadKnight Date: 04 Mar 05 - 02:24 AM Desperately seeking these deleted albums: 4 Alex Bradford LPs - "What the World Needs Now" - "Obey His Will" - "The Gospel Beat Goes On", and - "I Must Tell Jesus" and 2 Roland Hayes CDs: - "Spirituals", and - "The Art of Roland Hayes" |
Subject: RE: Records you're Still Looking For From: Jerry Rasmussen Date: 04 Mar 05 - 11:54 AM Azizi: You can leave your name with amazon.com for Missa Luba and when they get a used CD they will send you an e-mail. I've tried that service before and had success.. Jerry |
Subject: RE: Records you're Still Looking For From: Metchosin Date: 04 Mar 05 - 12:08 PM Jerry, I've been in touch with Azizi and suggested something similar and failing that have offered a copy of mine. |
Subject: RE: Records you're Still Looking For From: GUEST,Scouse (Cookie's gone walkabout) Date: 04 Mar 05 - 12:20 PM I've desperately looked for anything from Arthur Alexander for years with no avail. Although a 'Folkie." I loved those songs "Anna." from the Beatles and the stones "You better move on." both written by him....As aye..Phil |

Subject: RE: Records you're Still Looking For From: mkebenn Date: 04 Mar 05 - 01:47 PM Peter and Gordon's LP that included "The land of Odin" and their version of "Rose Connely" titled "Willow Garden". I had it in my hands, but was at a flea market with only ten bucks, and in my other hand was Billy ED wheeler's LP with "coal Tatoo" sigh.. Mike |
Subject: RE: Records you're Still Looking For From: johnross Date: 04 Mar 05 - 05:18 PM Rhino Handmade has reissued Ed McCurdy's "The Best of Dalliance" in a limited edition of 2500 copies. www.rhinohandmade.com |
Subject: RE: Records you're Still Looking For From: dwditty Date: 04 Mar 05 - 05:26 PM Wesley S...I saw Sleepy Man Blues on ebay not too long ago...it was up to about $40, so I emailed Geoff thru his web site and declared him "officially vintage." When I think of a recording for which I would be willing to pay way more than I probably should, I check out www.gemm.com. I have even found some of those Japanese CDs mentioned above of obscure recordings - also at no small expense, but I was sure glad to find them. For me, I am looking for "You Are What You Eat" - various artists including John Simon, Tiny Tim, and others. Good luck. dw |
Subject: RE: Records you're Still Looking For From: Wesley S Date: 04 Mar 05 - 05:44 PM Would www.gemm.com be a good place to find the value of vinyl records I have in my possession ? And was the Sleepy Man Blues you saw an old record or the new CD reprint ? I'm reluctant to buy someones old scratched LP. |
Subject: RE: Records you're Still Looking For From: Wesley S Date: 04 Mar 05 - 05:59 PM DWD - I just called Sumpter - the owner of our local record store. His brother is Stephen Bruton - Geoff's producer. He's going to try to track one down for me. By coincidence my local guy just talked to Geoff earlier today. I'm glad this thread got me off my ass to take some action. |
Subject: RE: Records you're Still Looking For From: Brakn Date: 04 Mar 05 - 08:11 PM Loudon Wainwright's first album I just got last year on eBay after spending 30 years going into record shops and heading right for his section (Ha - if he had one!!). I lent a friend Duster Bennett's first? album "Smilin' Like I'm Happy" about ten years ago. Sadly my friend died and I couldn't really go round to his house and ask "Before you sort out his stuff, can I have my album back?" ( I know he'll probably laugh at this!!) |
Subject: RE: Records you're Still Looking For From: Peace Date: 04 Mar 05 - 08:14 PM Badfinger's "Baby Blue" as released on 45. The version on the album is not the same. It is a great rock song. |
Subject: RE: Records you're Still Looking For From: Brakn Date: 04 Mar 05 - 08:37 PM brucie, you got me thinking about Fleetwood Mac's "Need Your Love So Bad" released 1968. I always thought that when it was rereleased in 1969? that strings were added. Is my memory playing tricks with me? |
Subject: RE: Records you're Still Looking For From: Peace Date: 04 Mar 05 - 08:47 PM Brakn, Ya got me. There was a 7" record released in 1968. But it may not have been the same take as the one from the Horizon Sessions. Maybe someone here knows for sure? |
Subject: RE: Records you're Still Looking For From: The Fooles Troupe Date: 04 Mar 05 - 09:19 PM Loudon Wainwright appeared on M.A.S.H. in some earlyish episodes - Trapper, Frank & Henry were in the cast, if that helps to date it. Wouldn't mind tracking down what songs he sang. |
Subject: RE: Records you're Still Looking For From: Jerry Rasmussen Date: 04 Mar 05 - 09:22 PM I'm really fascinated to read these posts. It's not surprising that there are particular records that mean so much to each of us. My niece's son, and I when he was about fifteen got into exchanging music. He wanted to hear all sorts of stuff and was pretty open minded about it. He had friends who started a Punk-Ska band and he wanted to hear more of the old ska and reggae, so I sent him a whole batch of cassettes of jazz, soul, rhythm and blues, folk, black gospel, reggae, ska... you name it. In return, he sent me a cassette that he put together titled "Music We lived Our Lives By." I thought it was SO great that a fifteen year old kid already realized his life had a soundtrack. So, I did one of my own and sent it to him. Think I'll start a thread on this... Jerry |

Subject: RE: Records you're Still Looking For From: Sandra in Sydney Date: 05 Mar 05 - 08:09 AM My very small record collection includes one I bought second hand sometime in the 70's. I haven't played it for years as I gave away my old record player sometime in the early 90's after not using it for a long time. A couple of years ago I found a track by the group on a compilation album - taken from a CD re-release of the LP!! It took a while to get it thru my favourite CD shop & it is as great as I remember & also has bonus tracks. A real treasure that I play a lot. The record is Hush, only album by local group Extradition & is worth up to $1000. Literally a treasure. sandra |
