But I'm guessing that never happened. :(Erniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02589056878160272070noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13248979.post-30626244104304842932021-03-11T12:15:08.578-05:002021-03-11T12:15:08.578-05:00Your meticulousness (a word?) must have extended t...Your meticulousness (a word?) must have extended to that cover, which looks gorgeously clean.

It's as if someone comes up with a title, writes it down, then adds instructions to "repeat monotonously until fade-out." <br /><br />Gilmarvinyl,<br /><br />Thanks! I was pretty sure it was Oberstein, but Discogs has no info on the label.

I have been in a kick lately adding additional mp3 versions of 101 Strings LPs to my collection. So I always enjoy having more choices. Besides, you get tired of singers all the time. Especially those who can not sing, or who are just plain off-key. Bryan<br /><br />PS. Especially nowadays, with the limited, very limited, lyrics for dummies in the songs, instrumentals win me over. Honestly, do writers get paid by the word, and do listeners have such short attention spans? Okay, maybe they have ADHD too. Pity, it not fun to have.Bryanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18308264392226573056noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13248979.post-47448321721280143322021-03-06T23:55:49.596-05:002021-03-06T23:55:49.596-05:00The Faith tracks sounded familiar, so I did compar...The Faith tracks sounded familiar, so I did comparison listening, since I have Faith on Royale. It was a hunch, mainly. And, since Straeter had some material on Royale, I figured it might be him on "Most Beautiful Girl." Luckily, someone had put up that track on YouTube, so I was able to verify my guess. I was thinking maybe Robert Russell Bennett on the remaining titles, as I falsely remembered having him on Allegro-Royale. But my cheapo Bennett LP is actually on Gramophone. I don't know what cheapie group Gramophone belonged to.
