In pop and rock music there's a funny inverse relationship between quality and price. It all relates to rarity. If you want to get an original 45 rpm (or even a 78 rpm) of the Penguins singing Earth Angel, you can find one at a reasonable price because it was so popular that there are a ton of copies around. The Penguins were considered "one hit wonders" even though they recorded a lot of quality material. When they signed with Mercury, their agent made it a package deal. The Penguins were on the Dootone label and there was another unknown group who were label mates. Their manager insisted that Mercury sign the other group, too or the deal was off. The other group was the Platters.

Now if you want an original copy of the Penguins doing Oookey Ook in pristine condition, we might be able to do business.

"Bright Phoebus" is indeed very sought after (I wouldn't mind a copy myself). The reason WHY it's so rare is a sorry tale told many times in this part of the aether.

I thought of another one. Do sleeves count? I have the Young Tradition first album bought from an emporium above Kenton station - it's never had a sleeve. Did it end up on some folk club wall? I suppose nobody does that with CD inners these days!

It totally staggers me the price some people are willing for old vinyl. I recently discovered that two much prized items in my collection, 'Bright Phoebus' and '3/4 AD' [still played regularly on an old but high quality turntable/tone arm/cartridge & stylus set-up] could prove a starting point for another pension!

Re the above, turns out the version of "There's a Blue Ridge Round My Heart, Virginia" is in fact by the New Mayfair Dance Orchestra. No idea who's doing the "vocal refrain" but the trumpet break is by a gent called Norman Payne in the style of Bix Beiderbecke, not Louis Armstrong. And a jazz collector in Derbyshire has a copy for sale!

Isn't the Web wonderful and aren't I a sad person, now to find a cheap Dansette on eBay.

(There's a Blue Ridge Round My Heart) "Virginia" - the version I grew up with, owned by my late mum, was a 78 from about 1930 with an absolutely superb little trumpet break at the end, positively Satchmo.

"The Lass With The Delicate Air" by Mavis Bennett - again from around 1930. Originally from the period of the Beggars' Opera. It has been recorded since by Julie Andrews but errr....I don't think I want that version.

One which I first heard about 1968 on John Peel's programme was "Collegiana" by the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band - tracked that one down on a double album called "Rare Junk" also containing the deathless "Even Fat Boys Can Make It In Santa Monica"

The Stranger from the Sea, by Joe Hanson.

Several good songs, including the best translation from the Welsh of "Venture, Gwen" that I've ever heard. Hanson had a kind of "reedy" sounding tenor and he accompanied himself on the autoharp. "Obscurity" label, 10", LP.

A web search failed to turn up the record, but I learned that Joe (Joseph) Hanson was a gay writer of mysteries (hated the term "gay," preferring straight out "homosexual") with several books out. At one time, he had a radio program entitled "The Stranger from the Sea" on which he sang folk songs. I ran across the record in a record store back in the early 1950s, listened to it, but discovered I didn't have enough money on me to buy it. When I came back the following day, someone had beat me to it.

Good songs, a couple of war horses (he does "Greensleeves"), but a few songs I've never heard anywhere else. All well sung.

My cassette player ate my copy of "Root Crops and Ground Cover" by Metamora (though I don't think they called themselves that at the time). The cassette came packaged to look like a seed packet (kinda cute). There was a great song about the monster that was supposed to live in Lake Champlain that was later used in the background of a documentary film. Can't find it anywhere.

OK, off topic, but since we're talking Bob Gibson, does anyone remember his Vermont Maid Syrup commercial? It aired the same time "Marching To Pretoria" was getting radio play. Around 1989 I got to tell him how much I liked it.

A cagey old pirate who lived in a tree
Loved syrup much better than golden jewelry.
He buried his treasure chest out in the glade
Filled with jugs of the syrup that's called Vermont Maid
So learn well this lesson from my serenade:
There's no finer syrup than sweet Vermont Maid
It's naturally flavored with the very best grade
Of real maple sugar -- that's my Vermont Maid.

My general feeling on obscure recordings is that if it hasn't been re-issued in England, German or Japan, it never existed. I've picked up several old jazz albums on CD, re-issued in Japan. I'm waiting for one that is an old favorite of mine by Barbara Carroll. It's been almost six months on back order, but they say it will be shipped in the next week. I also picked up another favorite old album by Matt Dennis... a jazz singer and composer who wrote many standards. It too was reissued in Japan.

Let's hear it for the Japanese!

I wonder if they've ever re-issued Guitar Boogie Shuffle by the Supersonics?

Jerry Rasmussen,

So, you forgot to mention "Mrs. Miller's Greatest Hits"?

If you don't have Bob Gibson's last record "Making A Mess..." you are missing a gem. The songs are all by Shel Silverstein who chips in commentary, if not singing, on a few songs. Mr. Gibson's effortless singing voice is gone, but he can "sell the song" like nobody else ever could. The backing is pure Nashville studio but every note fits every word perfectly. A masterpiece of writing, singing and musicianship.

A 45 rpm that I used to have and would like to have again is a song called "Unitar Rock"; on the other side it was (I think) "Cherokee Dance". Both songs were played on a one string "guitar", and one was sung in a gravely voice that made you want to clear your own throat as you listened. I don't remember who did it, but it came out in the early '50's if my memory is accurate. As a recording it is just a novelty record with no great redeeming qualities either social, cultural, or any other criteria, other than I'd like to get a copy of it still on record, dubbed to tape, or copied on to CD.

Yahoo!

Bob Gibson was very influential in forming my love for folk music, and it was a special honor for me many years later to book him for a folk festival I ran. It's not often that we get to meet our heroes, so it meant a lot to me.

NormanD, thanks for the commentary as well as the burner information. When I was burning some files from cassettes I was in my office next to my computer, but the sound system in here doesn't have all of the adjustments that the receiver and decks in the front room have. You've illustrated a great point--I don't need to bring all of my best equipment into the office, or move my computer into the living room if I get a setup like yours, or get some really long cables. (Actually, I have the cables, but haven't used them yet. As you say, it's the running back and forth that makes the task less precise than it needs to be).

There are a couple of threads going now where people are looking for particular recordings of things. I'll have to read through and make a list, then sit down with my LPs and see what I can find. If nothing else, it's great to revisit those old vinyl friends.

I have a Philips DR600 CD burner. It's also a player, but I use it just for copying and playback. I bought it 2nd-hand from a friend and paid £60, a fair price for a two-year old piece. You can get new ones with bigger hard drives, and they're generally available, you shouldn't have to go to specialist stores.

I looked at using a software programme for my computer, but had a couple of problems with this: I use Apple Mac, so the software choices are limited; and, more importantly, my computer is in another part of the house from the hi-fi, so even if I could get a long-enough cable, there'd be too much running backwards and forwards between the two. And I'm no hi-fi or computer wizz, so I went for the most convenient option. The burner fits in with the rest of the hi-fi separates, being the same dimension as the amp, etc.

I think the quality of the recording will ultimately depend on how good your record deck is, and investing in a new stylus is no bad thing. I haven't yet looked at the possibilities of scratch elimination, etc; some computer progs have all this, I don't know how good they are.

I'll probably still end up keeping the old vinyl albums - being over-sentimental, anally-retentive, you name it - AND have them on CDr, creating another pile of music - AND stick them on the computer, iTunes...

ARTHUR ALEXANDER.

Everything Alexander The Great recorded is available on CD reissue. The best compilation is the one from Ace Records (UK), it's marginally better than the Razor & Tie issue. His very last CD, "Lonely Just Like Me" (Elektra) may now be deleted, but crops up on eBay. He cut this as his "rediscovery" record, great songs, good production that brought his beautiful, soulful voice out. It looked as though this one would break him through after years of poverty....and then the poor man died suddenly. He's the only singer whose songs have been covered by The Beatles, Stones, Bob Dylan, Elvis P, Elvis C, Nick Lowe, John Prine, Robert Plant, Roger McGuinn, etc.....and he's now laying in a grave without a headstone.

Alba, there are a number of groups called Contraband, some even spelt with a K. Given your name my guess is it's this one your after.

The one that issued the self titled album was a Scottish folk rock band featuring Mae MacKenna, George and Billy Jackson, John Martin, and one or two others.

They issued their only album around 1970 on the Transadlantic label. There was also a single, "Lady for Today" (written by Rosie Hardman).
The material was a mixture of Trad and singer songwiter "covers."

After the band broke up Mae continued to record solo, George, Billy and John formed Ossian. George founded Iona records, Billy (now William), wrote and recorded Harp music, and John formed Easy Club and also played with the Tannahill Weavers.

I imagine that Castle Communications own the Masters as they seem to have the Transadlantic labels back catalogue.

The LP comes up on ebay uk reasonably regularly, sometimes for a lot, sometimes for a little, just your luck. I don't think that a CD has been reissued, but might be wrong.

I'm writing this from memory, but if you need more details let me know and I'll reply with the album in front of me when I get home.

The main other Contraband is a rock/blues outfit who've beem around since the 70's. Type Contraband CD into Google and you'll get lots of hits on them.

If you ever wanted to see my Dad really annoyed, borrow a record and don't give it back. Or tell him about one that was borrowed and destroyed. A friend borrowed an LP then let it melt on a radiator, and blithely gave me $5 as if I could replace it easily. It took a while--and when I told Dad about this happening, he was really ticked--as much about the destruction as the loss of the album to me personally. NO one could use it melted! (I think it was Switched on Bach)

I work at a university library with a fine arts branch. The librarians occasionally tell stories of students finding citations for recordings, that when they're handed the LP they look so puzzled that they must be taken in hand and shown how to play them. (I guess it's time for the "this year's college freshman was born in 1987" essay to make the rounds.)

Another alarming thing about walking into my office and seeing the turntable on it's head was seeing the Carolyn Hester album on the floor. I'd been talking with other Mudcatters about her work a couple of days earlier and hadn't filed the LP back with the rest after listening to it. The LP appears to be fine (it was in the sleeve and cover, also) but I can imagine how that would look on an insurance claim!
