HERITAGE - st LP 78

 This week going to feature another from the FUNKMYROCK list.  Not much on discogs except they call the album funk rock, soul, pop, world & country...go figure.  I guess they start it off with their own version of 'Fly Like An Eagle" and "Vanilla Mountain" is a variety vacation in and of itself!  Enjoy!

VA - BACK TO THE 50's 4LP 83 w VA - CASEY KASEM PRESENTS 1950's AMERICA'S TOP 10 (I put tape but actually CD) 01 w VA - COLLECTOR'S RECORDS OF THE 50's & 60's Vol. II LP 78 w VA - THE FABULOUS FIFTIES tape 3 88 99 w VA - THE UNFORGETTABLE 50's tape 1 88 w VA - The 50's Rockabilly Fever CD (TZ blog)

 Tackling the 50's decade this week but boy oh boy did I get stuff organized to feelin' just fine!  That's right bopper, "You know what I like baaaaaby!" which starts the grandest of them all the RCA collector's edition vinyl with four vinyl.  The Casey Kasem CD is also a fine one from Goodwill except the last minute folder-add from Twilight Zone blogspot long ago having the Rockabilly.  There are actually three cassette compilations and I found at GW one of each all in their own series by the same company but one tape was not functional.  But they are fine compilations with exceptional write ups on each song/performer and a quick check this morning on youtube found none to be added so I think in future my buying the missing 2/2/3 tapes is worth it as cassettes can be quite cheap at Discogs.  If someone wanted them faster (while they are there) just float my the links and some moneys into my email at this DU site and I will promptly get them and repost as separate.  I am more inclined to try to find the other vinyl beyond volume II or that series which has some killer trax!  Artist included:  Big Bopper, Pat Boone, Georgia Gibbs, Elvis Presley with The Jordanaires, The Champs, Vaughn Monroe WCAO, The Ames Brothers (megapost in the works), Dinah Shore w Henri Rene AHO, Wilbert Harrison, Perry Como with Mitchell Ayres AHO, Paul Anka, Connie Francis, Dave "Baby" Cortez, The Four Preps, Teresa Brewer with Dick Jacobs Orchestra, The Elegants, Johnny Mathis with Ray Conniff, The Diamonds, Lloyd Price, The McGuire Sisters, The Platters, Neil Sedaka, Billy Williams, Harry Belafonte with Tony Scott's OAC, The Impalas, Danny & The Juniors, Everly Brothers, LaVern Baker, Jimmy Dorsey, Eddie Fisher with Hugo Winterhalter AHO, Gale Storm, Lou Monte with Joe Reisman AHO, Art & Doty Todd, The Chordettes, Sonny James, The Fontane Sisters, Andy Williams, Tommy Edwards, Jim Lowe, The Browns feat.

CHIP TAYLOR - SEVEN DAYS IN MAY...A LOVE STORY CD 98

 This is one I thought was a movie when Josef (Austria) suggested it as he described it aa a "masterpiece" so I posted a few weeks ago Chip's hit song CD that I found but forgot about this one and discovered it was a CD so got on ebay for under $10 to my door.  Have heard a song or two while preparing and liked the toned down acoustic style but still need to hear more lyrics.  Enjoy!

The bassist Richard Arcand and the singer Vincent Marandola were in a band called 'Johnny Peace' since 1967. In 1969 the guitarist Christian Vaeillant and the drummer Robert Cager joined and Ellison was formed. They were part of l’Association Des Orchestres (under the direction of Jean-Claude Brosseau) wich were specialize in Quebec's underground music, hard rock and blues.In 1971 they made most of their shows on college's campus and in schools and begun creating a popularity.

In March 1972, they started recording their only album with the help of the label Supreme and released it on October 27, 1972 at the Campus Pont-Viau.

On March 31, 1973 Ellison made a show in Montreal and since then no more show were mentionned.  They were one of the most prolific band in the underground music scene with ExCubus (Incubus), Expedition, Lasting Weep and many more.

REPOST:  I had originally done two posts--one with the cassettes and one with the CD's with one for the Rock & Roll theme posts and the other way before but both from Goodwill.  So for this week's 50's theme, I finally organized them all to take out the many repeats via the rule that the cassettes were superior sound to the CD's with many more bonus tracks than the CD's (go figure?) and only one CD with extra tracks that being the 1962 as you can see n the post title.  That being said, here are all the artists (maybe some were repeated as I cut and paste from both posts):  Artists include:  Ronnie Aldrich, Mantovani AHO, Frank Chacksfield AHO, Roberto Mann, Del Shannon, Chris Kenner, The Shirelles, Gary U.S. Bonds, The Tokens, The Capris, The Marcels, Bobby Lewis, The Miracles, The Jive Five, Dion, Ernie K-Doe, Dee Clark, Joey Dee & The Starlighters, Little Caesar & The Romans, The Marvelettes, Ben E.

REPOST Request:  What I wrote before:  Check out the center fold and you will see all the Bay area talent on this one.  You don't see a lot of his solo stuff and since I have been collecting early Stills, it was a natural one to pick up from a trade.

SOLID GOLD - st LP 74

 Called a 1970's U.S. Pop Lounge Group per Discogs which I have never heard that classification before.  This was an anonymous request but I liked the opener and 7 inch song "My Share Of The Sidewalk" as I was just thinking about that on my pedal into work where construction folks marked a spot by putting a huge piece of wood covering the whole sidewalk!    Enjoy!
