Awhile back I put together a Stinson discography for my own information. I can supply most of your missing numbers. The rest are blanks to me too.

SLP 30 Muggsy Spanier & Pee Wee Russell, Pee Wee's Ragtimers Vol 1
   10", later 12"
SLP 86 Patrick Galvin, Irish Rebel Songs Vol IV   10"
   (later absorbed into a 3-vol 12" release of of the 4 Irish Rebel Songs albums)
SLP 88 John Runge, Traditional English Folk Songs 12"
SLP 89 African Folk Music, Traditional Songs From Nigeria 12"
SLP 95 La Sonora Matancera, Se Formo La Rumbantela 12"??
SLP 96 Stuff Smith Trio, Adventures in Feeling   12"
SLP 97 Anacani with the Mariachi Mexicali, Que Felicidad 12"
SLP 98 La Sonora Matancera, El Romance del Campesino 12"

In return, can you tell me the SLP issue numbers of the following four Stinson 10" LPs?

Mary Lou Williams   Jazz Concert
Ellen Stekert    Ozark Folk Songs
Richard Dyer-Bennett   German Folk Songs By Beethoven - title approximate
Bob and Louise DeCormier, Adirondack Folk Songs (title correct?)

It's possible some of these may equate to the mystery numbers.

Thanks! Bob

RED VINYL!

Never could figure if it was cool or what!?

Any thoughts?? Was it a political statement?

Hi Art,

Ummm, well...first of all the clear red vinyl was a late breaking development at Stinson, far as I know. Have you ever seen any red vinyl 10-inchers? I haven't.

The 1950s Stinsons were exclusively (? I know of no exceptions) black vinyl, just as their 78s had been black. Red vinyl began only with the 12-inch albums, probably around 1960 or after. (Many of them were of course reissues of the earlier 10-inchers after it became obvious that the smaller size was, like, so over. And would get lost in the bins among the biggies.)

Word on the street was that the red vinyl was cheaper. Might have been the difference between staying in the black and out of the red (sorry, couldn't resist). Stinson probably just got a can't-refuse deal on some throwaway red vinyl along about 1960 and lunged at it.

Money was tight at Stinson under both Herbert Harris (1940s until his suicide) and his son Bob (the honcho of Stinson's LP period). They always ran on a shoestring, even more than Folkways did. Indeed Stinson floated on a handshake agreement that allowed it to use Moe Asch's masters from the 40s ... thus the famous Leadbelly, Guthrie etc. issues. They only began actively developing their own artists after issuing a couple dozen Asch-derived albums, among which were the classics we all heard and loved, including the 6-LP Folksay series.

Of course it didn't hurt the cause to have red records, but I think it was incidental to the good old capitalist practice of turning a buck.

Or at least that's as much as I've been able to find out so far.

Great to talk to you as always, Art. Bob

Bob, Thanks for the information - here are the numbers:

SLP 24 Mary Lou Williams Jazz Concert
SLP 49 Ellen Stekert Ozark Mountain Folk Songs
SLP 72 Bob DeCormier Catskill Mountain Folk Songs

There are 4 Stinson Dyer-Bennet albums.
There was a series of 78rpm albums on Vox,
one had a title like the one you mention but I don't have
it to hand to check. A Concert Hall LP with Scottish Songs
and a Dyer-Bennet label collection of Beethovens Scottish
and Irish song settings (DYBS-7).

The Stinson albums are:
SLP 2 Richard Dyer-Bennet The Twentieth Century Minstrel
SLP 35 Richard Dyer-Bennet Ballads
SLP 60 Richard Dyer-Bennet More Songs by the 20th Century Minstrel
SLP 61 Richard Dyer Bennet A Richard Dyer-Bennet Concert

Titles vary from front, back jacket, spine and record label.

RED VINYL - translucent, various colors of vinyl were issued
in the 60s, supposed to be purer than black vinyl - at least you
could see if it had bits of junk, and supposed to have less surface noise. Mostly a marketing gimmick (imo).

The Stinson 10" releases of the 1950's were black vinyl.
The 10" albums were expanded to 12", sometimes with additional
tracks, or combining 2 10" albums. Stinson still in NYC.
When they moved to Granada Hills CA, they issued the red vinyl
pressings, with generic jackets in a pale lime color, some were
gatefold with notes/texts inside and catalog on back. Still later
they were issued in single jackets with laminated slicks prominently indicating "Collector's Series" and reproductions of 10" cover art
and liner notes. Most were black vinyl.

I also should mention that some of the albums have
been issued on CD by Collectables, 2 lp albums per cd.
Blues, Folk and Jazz titles.
I believe they have been deleted, but are still available

ago indicating that a trove of masters was discovered in Brooklyn NY
which are being prepared for release by Rounder starting Jan 2007.

Thomas,

Thanks, very glad to have those numbers.

Re the Dyer-Bennett German Folk Songs of Beethoven. I once owned the album, a 10-inch, and I am ~97% sure it was on Stinson. It had, among other things, his recording of "Jan Hinnert."

However, there's a slim chance my memory may be fooling me on this one, and it could have been on another label. One thing for sure, I have never seen that album listed in any Dyer-Bennett discography, yet whatever the label, I know it existed.

Perhaps someone reading this thread may remember it and give us more exact information.

Or someone may unearth a mid-1950s Stinson catalog. By the 1960s their catalogs had dropped a number of the 10-inch issues, so later records show nothing of them.

Very exciting about the Rounder project. Hope it extends to more than just Woody.

Glad to see interest in Stinson resurfacing. I started buying their 78s and LPs c. 1950 from Pennsylvania. Finally visited their Union Square NY store in, probably, 1955 -- met Ken Goldstein there -- what a time machine to think of it now.   And, alas, almost all of those records are gone in the shuffle of years.

Thomas,

About the Mary Lou Williams LP, I just checked my list, and I don't think that's it.

SLP 24, issued 1950, is "Mary Lou Williams and Orchestra," Gjon Mili Jam Session, Man o'Mine, Lady Be Good, Carcinoma, Star Dust.

SLP?? is Mary Lou Williams "Jazz Concert," selection from the Zodiac Suite, whether 10" or 12" I don't know.

They seem to be two clearly different records. So the later Williams may be one of your missing numbers (as may the Dyer-Bennett).

There is a lot of digging and checking which needs to be done
to get reasonably correct listings of these records. The 12" versions
usually (not always) add some tracks to the 10" issue, and also reshuffle the tracks (e.g.the Harry & Jeanie West album).
I do NOT know if they ever have alternate takes of the same songs, that would take very close listening, and I do not have copies of most of the albums.
Some listings come from the actual lp, but many are from catalogs, auction or sale listings and may be inaccurate.
Another confusion is that the titles are NOT consistent - the cover will say one thing, the back slightly different, label another.
The Jewish Young Folksingers SLP67(10") has NO title on jacket or record, but is listed in a catalog as "Folk Songs Of The World".
The insert notes list side A Yiddish Folk Songs, Side B Songs of Many Peoples. The spelling of titles differs on the notes and label
(e.g. Hava Na Gila vs. Hava Nageela)
Nett is, I need input from people who have copies of the records
to get an accurate listing.
A very sincere THANK YOU to all who provide information.

Thomas,

Are you needing any info on the tracklists of individual Stinson records (songs they contain)? If so, maybe we could swap. I have complete track info on most of them, but there are perhaps a dozen I do not have, and a few others that are incomplete.

I also have some information concerning some (by no means all) earlier releases on Stinson and Asch 78s and how they trace to the Stinson LPs. Let me know if this would be useful to you.

If we correspond by e-mail we could swap detailed info via attachment.

Picking up on an earlier comment, can anyone confirm a possible Walt Robertson recording in the Stinson series?

I know of none. Walt's debut LP came out on Folkways as far as I know. And I know of no other.

My apologies. I e-mailed Deckman to tell him what I knew about Walt and Stinson, but I'm afraid I neglected to post the correction here.

To the best of my recollection, Walt never recorded for Stinson. If he had, it would have been sometime in the early Fifties, and I'm sure I would have known about it back then. I'm sure that what confused Bob (Deckman) is that during the time Walt was doing his television program on Seattle's KING-TV, he also cut two records, 10" 78s, for a local record company called Linden.

I don't remember which song was back-to-back with which, but he recorded Wanderin' (which he used as the theme song for the TV show, called "The Wanderer") , Life is a Toil, Blue Mountain Lake, and Drill, Ye Tarriers. I have both records. They're on red translucent vinyl. This was a couple of years before he cut his first album for Folkways, "American Northwest Ballads."

The first time I ever heard Walt, it was on these 78 rpm Linden singles. It was a short time afterward that I first heard him sing live, and this ignited my active interest in folk music. I met him a few days after his concert and hit him up for guitar lessons. He taught me a lot and we bcame good friends.

Those red vinyls may look pretty but they're a bit transparent and my autotmatic turntable arm can't find the track breakers like it can on the opaque black ones.
Any Wood/Cisco buffs out there? The same title often turns up both on Stinson and Folkways but different takes. Did Moe Asch perhaps record two takes for some items so that one went to the Harrises and he kept the other himself?

Someone just sent to me a copy he had made of a recording labeled, Stinson Folksay, Volume 2. It has eight songs; two are by Hally Wood, at least one is by Woody Guthrie (maybe more). There was no information about the singers, nor any record notes. I do know that Hally's two songs are, "Johnson Boys," and, "Fair and Tender Ladies." The one I recognize as Woody's is, "The House in New Orleans." Anyone know any more about this recording?

In case anyone finds the information useful, the discrepancy between the Stinson Vol. V tape copy (8 songs -- actually 9, in the original) and the later version is between the 10-inch and 12-inch versions.

The original Folksay Vol V, Stinson SLP-12, had

Hally Wood: Come All You Fair and Tender Ladies, Johnson Boys
Woody Guthrie and Cisco Houston: Go Tell Aunt Rhody
Guthrie: House of the Rising Sun
Houston: The Rover
Leadbelly: Take This Hammer
Frank Warner: Old Smokey
Pete Seeger: Teeroo, Teeroo
Rev Gary Davis and Sonny Terry: When the Train Comes Along.

The remaining songs in the list above are from the original Folksay Vol VI, SLP-13. The two were later combined on a single 12-inch. Bob

Thomas Stern mentioned this above, but maybe I shoud repeat that Collectables Records at oldies.com has quite a collection of reissued Stinson recordings, including , volumes 1-6, along with Chain Gang. Lots of others, too.
Looks like many are on clearance (under $5 apiece), so it maigh be an idea to get them now.

Sorry my listing was a bit wrong but has been corrected by Bob Coltman. My info was from the 12" LP - Vols 5 and 6. Presumably the two volumes were originally two separate 10" LP's. On the third volume of the CD series Joe Offer mentions there are Vol 5 and 6 (with at least one title missing) and Chain Gang (again with some missing from the LP) which features Sonny Terry and Woody Guthrie. Does snyone know its origin?

Jan

Subject: RE: STINSON LP's
From: GUEST,Bob Coltman
Date: 07 Dec 06 - 04:03 PM

Janine,

Yes, the Folksay 5 and 6 were originally separate 10" records.

Chain Gang Songs Vol. 1 by Woody Guthrie, Cisco Houston and Alek Stewart began as a three-record 78 rpm album (10"), probably issued around 1948-9. In about 1950 it was transferred to LP format as a 10" album. The second album followed (not sure if it was ever in 78rpm form).

Chain Gang, Vol. I 10" Stinson SLP7
Chain Gang Blues, Cornbread, Meat and Molasses, Stackolee, Long John, Rock Me Momma, Chain Gang Special.

Chain Gang, Vol. 2 10: Stinson SLP8
Red River, Ham and Eggs, Betty and Dupree, Pick a Bale of Cotton, It Takes a Chain Gang Man, Lost John

The two were later put together on a 12" LP, Stinson SLP7, confusingly enough. That was later issued as a cassette, too.

STINSON RECORDS: A LOOK AT THE LABEL FROM ITS FOUNDING IN 1939
(Matthew Barton is with the Library of Congress.)

Thomas: Didn't see your question before now, much belated:

SLP-93 = 1974 - From the copyright on the center labels but with Stinson, who knows. It's companion to the book.

SLPH-93 = 1977 - From the same source. Both use the same cover art (SLP-93) but only this one mentions "Stereo" if I recall correctly. I think it might just be Stinson's first proper stereo release.

With few exceptions, the red vinyl was limited to the later "Collector's Series" reissues. They started in New York just before the move to the West Coast.

I still haven't figured out who did the mastering and pressing on them; an arrow pierced heart (Cupid style) badge and "delta" prefix matrix numbers. Afaik, it's not Hancock per the video.

But if Barton is right about the other stuff, no reason to doubt him, the family split started well before they left New York.
