To show all my favorites would probably take half the available webspace on the Internet. In light of that,I have started a listing of several of my favorites, and will continue to update the page. You might just find something you never have seen before!
The
Five Royales. I always liked this cover, and really enjoy the group.
1959 was the release date, and it is a great
album with a total of 16 fine cuts. A lot for albums from the time
period.
This is an
East Coast LP issued by Fire records, and it showcased many
great R+B "Hits" of the time. I wonder if the kids
pictured were really listening to this stuff in 1960?
This is the fire label,rarely seen on LP. Most of the songs listed never
made it to the Billboard charts, but were solid hits on the R+B charts,and
the many radio stations that played them.
This
is Ned Miller's first and only LP for Fabor records . I was never that
crazy about "From A Jack To A King", but
the cover is nice. Then
I took the record out. Beautiful Colored Swirled Vinyl. No two of these
are probably alike. And, there wasn't a bunch of these pressed. Released
in 1963.
The space theme, which came up quite
often, was the basis for "Rocket To The Stars", released in 1964. Six
big hits on both sides, on an album issued
with DJ great Jocko Henderson. He is shown on both the
front and back of the LP.
Here is the
initial release by Faye Adams,using the name Faye Adams, from 50 plus years ago in 1953, "Shake A Hand". Faye Adams
second release from 1953, also on the Herald label,"I'll
Be True"pressed on clear Red Vinyl as was "Shake A Hand". Both records were pressed on the standard black vinyl as well.
The
Dartells, "Hot Pastrami", a great dance record
out of Los Angeles Originally,it was pressed on
several colors of wax and the much more common black vinyl.
The green and
red vinyl issues of "Hot Pastrami are shown here. All
of the colored vinyl pressings seem to have the red label in common.
