Subject: RE: Records you're Still Looking For From: MBSLynne Date: 11 Mar 05 - 03:23 AM Hah! I never thought of trying Mudcat for the records I want! Years ago I lent an LP and EP to someone who never gave them back and I've never been able to replace them. They were Australian and probably the English and American Catters wouldn't have heard of them. The LP was "Procession Live at Sebastians" and the EP was "Anthem". The single Anthem got (I think) to number 1 in the Aussie charts. If anyone could come up with them, or other Procession records I'd be eternally grateful. When they split up, one of them came to England and joined Manfred Mann for a while. Love Lynne |

Subject: RE: Records you're Still Looking For From: open mike Date: 11 Mar 05 - 01:45 AM i thought i had posted about a record i am searching....will try again. I am trying to find a copy of Country Blessed by Cris Williamson with Teresa Trull.There is a wonderful song about Calamity Jane on it. I like to sing it, but am not sure of all the words. I was not able to find a copy of that record, or tape, does anyone know of a source? I found a few other later recordings by her (Cris) on e-bay, one of which arrived in the mail today...as i dod get it, but not the 1989 one i am looking for.....Calamity Jane, Queen of the plains, an angel of mercy, riding the range,,,, i think cris wrote this while in high school in wyoming or south dakota. |

Subject: RE: Records you're Still Looking For From: Metchosin Date: 11 Mar 05 - 12:12 AM Jerry, I believe I have This Old House by Stuart Hamblin on 78RPM. It will take some digging but I will see if I can find it for you. |

Subject: RE: Records you're Still Looking For From: Jerry Rasmussen Date: 10 Mar 05 - 10:37 AM Oh yeah: I've been looking for a couple of songs by Stuart Hamblin. Hamblin was pretty popular in the 50's as a country artist, and wrote two classic songs: This Old House and It Is No Secret. So far, I haven't found either of those songs recorded by him, as re-issues. And, I don't have them on record. I'd like to learn the songs, and I always prefer to learn them from the writer, if recordings are available. Jerry |

Subject: RE: Records you're Still Looking For From: Kevin Sheils Date: 08 Mar 05 - 01:32 PM Foolestroupe Can't help with the song titles LWIII sang on MASH but can give you the dates etc of the 3 episodes he appeared in as Captain Calvin Spalding. Info from epguides.com He was in 3 episodes in the 3rd season: the overall 50th episode "Rainbow Bridge" broadcast 17 Sep 1974, the 58th "There is nothing like a nurse" 19 Nov 1974, and the 69th "Big Mac" 25 Feb 1975 The titles are probably working titles as I don't recall the series having on-screen episode titles. These are the 2nd, 10th and 21st episodes respectively of the 3rd season. The dates are first US broadcast I'd guess. This may help you track the episodes down. |

Subject: RE: Records you're Still Looking For From: Jerry Rasmussen Date: 08 Mar 05 - 11:24 AM Back in the early 60's I was browsing through a small store front music store in lower Manhattan and came across an album with a mandolin concerto on one side, and a guitar concerto on the other. It was on the Vox label... a prominent label for classical music at that time. I bought it, and was really transported away by the mandolin concerto. I almost wore that record flat, over the years. About 20 years ago, I tried to find the mandolin concerto on CD and enlisted a person I knew in a record store who claimed he could find any classical music ever recorded on CD. He spent months looking for it, using every obscure resource at his disposal, and came up empty handed. Part of the problem is that no one is sure who the composer was. It is "credited" to Guilani, but there were several composers of that name, and there is no documentation to which one this was... or whether it was just another Guilani who never had another piece preserved. A couple of years ago, I finally found a CD, released on the Erato label. The liner notes are in German. Because of the uncertainty of who wrote the piece, I was very hesitant when I put the CD on the first time. But, as Bobert would say, "Dang" it's that good ole boy Guilani! It sounds just as great as it did that first day I took it home nad put it on the turntable in the early 60's. Jerry |

Subject: RE: Records you're Still Looking For From: Roger the Skiffler Date: 08 Mar 05 - 09:45 AM I've been lucky recently in being able to pick up some "out of print" CDs I've been looking for, in mint condition (Lonnie Donegan Originals for one) and tracked down Peter Price to get his Big Road Blues I've been trying to get hold of for about three years. One I'm still looking for is a compilation of canal songs called Straight from the Tunnel's Mouth. RtS |

Subject: RE: Records you're Still Looking For From: Dharmabum Date: 08 Mar 05 - 09:26 AM I've recently been borrowing some of the old records from our local library. They've actually got a pretty good collection of some folkways recordings. But it never fails,when I check them out,I always get that look & the same comment,"We haven't had anyone borrow these in years". I've spent the past few months converting my vinyl over to cd,so it's given me the chance to listen again to music I haven't heard for awhile. It's been great to be able to hear artists like Hedy West,Ola Belle Reed,Barbara Dane,Mark Spolstra again. Speaking of Barbara Dane. The record album I'm hoping someday to stumble across at an affordable price is her album called "Barbara Dane Sings The Blues". I've seen it come up for sale a couple of times on Gemm,but the price is way out of my range. Smithsonian/Folkways has a copy of the recording for sale, but I'd really like to run across that yard sale bargain vinyl for 5 bucks someday. DB. |

Subject: RE: Records you're Still Looking For From: Peter Kasin Date: 08 Mar 05 - 04:12 AM Jerry, you're a kindred spirit. What a great singer A.L. lloyd was. I don't if the reason for having so much of his recordings, and ones he did with Ewan MacColl out of circulation is because of legal hangups, or if even the folk recording companies don't see enough of a market for them, outside of what's been re-released on CD already (Leviathan, Blow Boys Blow, and a few others).

Subject: RE: Records you're Still Looking For From: Rustic Rebel Date: 07 Mar 05 - 06:37 PM I'm still looking for Mason Proffit's Two Hangmen. Haven't done a search on it though for a few years. I'll check out gemm.com. thanks DW. |

Subject: RE: Records you're Still Looking For From: Jerry Rasmussen Date: 07 Mar 05 - 11:12 AM SRS: A couple of years ago, I went in to a large retail electronics store to buy a new phonograph needle. When I told the salesperson what I was looking for, he went bovine on me... just looked at me blanky. All that was missing was the cud. When I said, "Phonographs... you know, those flat black things you put on a turntalbe, and they go around and around?" And he gave me an even more confused expression. "They have a hole in the middle, like CDS, but they're a lot bigger and the hole is a lot smaller." Still blank. After he told me that they didn't have any, I went and found them myself. Before I left, I showed them to him so he'd know the next time. I felt like I was asking for coal for the eyes of my snowman. Jerry |

Subject: RE: Records you're Still Looking For From: Stilly River Sage Date: 07 Mar 05 - 11:02 AM I have to replace a turntable because the one in my office was damaged during a break-in a couple of weeks ago. The young thugs who were stealing the stereo dropped the turntable on it's head, obviously not requiring the obsolete device. In the end they left the stereo behind, because a neighbor interrupted them (thank goodness!). The turntable works, but I don't trust it to continue to work, or to be up to it's old self. It wasn't a particularly expensive one, and this weekend I picked up an inexpensive Sony (the place carries only two of them, and truth be told, I have another, much better older one in the other room). I had to chuckle, when the sales guy was so ernest in cautioning me that (as he pointed to a receiver button in the store shelf) "Your receiver has to have a button for Phono." From his expression, I thought he was going to tell me something serious, like it was going to need a different type of plug now or maybe a critical tip for wiring speakers. SRS |

Subject: RE: Records you're Still Looking For From: Jerry Rasmussen Date: 07 Mar 05 - 10:42 AM Guest makes a good point. Owning records is pleasureable. Actually listening to them is another thing. I know that there are Catters who still listen to vinyl often, but I'm not one of them. I rarely listen to albums or 45's unless it's to specifically tape or learn a song. It's been at least a year since I've played a record. Good title for the song... variation on Dust On The Bible. Dust On The Turntable. Howzabout you? Are you looking for records because you play records often, or are you primarily looking for re-issues on CD. (I'm mostly in the latter category, although I continue to pick up vinyl occasionally because there hasn't been a re-issue. I bought all three Pennywhistlers albums on eBay a couple of years ago. One of these years I may actually listen to them. Hmmm... wonder if they've been reissued by now.. Jerry |

Subject: RE: Records you're Still Looking For From: GUEST Date: 07 Mar 05 - 09:58 AM Crikey, I have thousands of albums in my basement, many of them mentioned above. Maybe it is time to hook up my old turntable and start plying lp's again. One I woul;d like to have is an Album by a group who called themselves the Masked Marauders..great stuff. Alas it was leant and not returned. Also an album called Cristo redentor by Harvey Mandel. Great thread, really enjoy seeing what other people treasure. Thanks |

Subject: RE: Records you're Still Looking For From: Jerry Rasmussen Date: 07 Mar 05 - 08:47 AM Hey, Chantey: I have the album, and yes, it is one of the greatest albums released. A.L.Lloyd also leads the singing in the opening sequences of Moby Dick, as the ship is pulling anchor and hoisting the saile. That album and Australian Bush Ballads by A.L. Lloyd are two of my most treasured albums. I only have the Bush Ballads album on cassette now, as I must have loaned my record and never got it back. Have to check to see if that was ever re-issued on CD. Jerry |

Subject: RE: Records you're Still Looking For From: Peter Kasin Date: 07 Mar 05 - 04:22 AM Ewan MacColl and A.L. lloyd: "Whaling ballads." One of many of theirs that are out of print. A friend kindly taped it for me and mailed it to me. It would be good to see that released on CD. It is my alltime favorite sea music recording, and the one that inspired me to listen to sea music in general. Chanteyranger |

Subject: RE: Records you're Still Looking For From: RangerSteve Date: 06 Mar 05 - 05:58 PM Here's two more: both records by Bennie and Vallie Cain on the Rebel label and both records by Ray and Ina Patterson on County. |

Subject: RE: Records you're Still Looking For From: robomatic Date: 06 Mar 05 - 05:53 PM Steve Lyon album from '84 "No Place Like Mars" with a song on it called "Christmas Ameba". It didn't make it to CD. |

Subject: RE: Records you're Still Looking For From: JennyO Date: 05 Mar 05 - 10:21 PM For my birthday a few years ago, my son tracked down a record that I wanted, from this place - Sonic Recollections It was a record of Wayne and Shuster with four comedy sketches on it: Rinse the blood off my toga A Shakespearean baseball game Frontier Psychiatrist I was a TV addict It's very funny stuff - I didn't think I could get it any more, so I was very pleased. The record was not new, but it was in perfect condition. So they might be worth a look. |

Subject: RE: Records you're Still Looking For From: Jerry Rasmussen Date: 05 Mar 05 - 09:26 PM Check out www.bizrate.com. I looked up Missa Luba as an example and they have several to choose from... I wonder if they have Guitar Boogie Shuffle by the Supersonics? Going to check.. Jerry |

Subject: RE: Records you're Still Looking For From: George Papavgeris Date: 05 Mar 05 - 08:16 AM for when the time comes, as it's certain to peep behind the final curtain, and leave this planet by and by, good times and friends you should remember each memory a burning ember - and they're what you remembered by. |

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 |

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: 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: 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: 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 - 08:14 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 - 08:11 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: 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: 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: 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 |
