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.
 
 
The  yellow  label  was  only  issued on   black  wax,  and  was  the  second press   (Arlen) of the big hit. Also note at the   bottom, Tom Ayers  was shown  as the   producer on this record.
   
"Hot  Pastrami"   sold  extremely  well   locally in Los Angeles, Arlen  made a   deal with the Dot label to distribute the  disc   nationally.  It   topped  out on   the Billboard  charts at  number 11 and spent 11 total weeks on the charts. Not  bad for this fine surf group from Oxnard, California.
