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.

Brakn, I picked up a CD by Fleetwood Mac the other day with "I need your love so bad" on it.
It also has
Albatross
No place to go
Merry go round
Long grey mare
Black magic woman
Rambling pony
Watch out
My baby's good to me
The world keep on turning
Doctor brown
Love that burns

It is a Columbia/Sony 1996 release 483724 2

I am just looking for records...

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.

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.

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..

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.

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.

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).

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

I checked eBay out of curiosity, and they had a Stuart Hamblin lp. in very good condition up for auction. I was the only bidder, and won it. (That's probably as good an evidence as any why they haven't re-issued his stuff.) It's titled It Is No Secret, which is the primary song I was looking for, but doesn't have a track list. I guess I'll find out whe I get it, if it has This Old House on it.

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.

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.

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...

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.

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.

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.

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.
