Per Wikipedia: Smash Records was an American record label founded in 1961 as a subsidiary of Mercury Records by Mercury executive Shelby Singleton and run by Singleton with Charlie Fach. Its recording artists included Frankie Valli, James Brown, Bruce Channel, Roger Miller, The Left Banke, Bill Justis, and Jerry Lee Lewis. so Yeah Mark, you're right on that info. Thanks !

Good to know, thanks for the input.

Thanks Mark. It was weird that the distributor did not put her name on both sides. That's very unusual and I don't recall having another 45 done that way.

I believe I was actually thinking of "He's So Fine" by the Chiffons. I just listened to "Your So Fine" by the Falcons and it didn't ring any bells for me.

Love the story, I have a similar one with my mother giving me her old 45's too. I think I pointed out a few of them that I remembered when going through the A to Z collection videos. I also appreciate you letting me know how to pronounce Clyde's last name.

I wonder if that "Don't call us" song is the same as the Van Halen early demo by the same title. I know Van Halen played a lot of covers during the early days and I believe there was a cover song on most (but not all) of their albums. However, the "Don't Call Us, We'll Call You" I have only heard in its demo form and it wasn't on one of their releases.

I did not know that, thanks for sharing.

Thanks for the kind words. I know Cuba Gooding Jr but was not aware of this father being a musician.

Wow, I have confused these two forever and never realized they were two different people. Stephen Bishop and Elvin Bishop are indeed different artists. Thank You for pointing this out as it is an eye (ear) opening moment for me. I did know that Elvin didn't sing the song, that was Mickey Thomas on vocals who would later become the lead singer for Jefferson Starship. This was an honest mistake on my part as I have confused the two artists for a long, long time. Stephen Bishop was the guy in Animal House whom John Belushi took the guitar from and smashed it against the wall. My Apologies to all.

I B​@@My-Media-MuseumI. HAVE SUBSCRIBED TO THE CHANNEL. IT IS VERY INTERESTING. THANKS.

@@user-ie1vn6dr5t Thanks for the positive feedback. It is appreciated.

My understanding is that they are all Top 40. I was thinking he told me Top 100 but I have not noticed any numbers above 40 being noted on any of them.

Very interesting, thanks for the info. Not sure if I have ever heard those versions, I will look them up and give them an ear.

The tins are shown in the individual videos for each release. Here is a playlist for the entire series of videos I made for the Disney Treasures series of DVD releases: kzfaq.info/sun/PLLHtCNRxOoMN9jt5jCyAVbIlnUChWvrPe

@@My-Media-Museum awesome man. I myself am looking to get most of them. The later Donald volumes are the hardest to get….

As always Mark, I appreciate your input and your kind words. Thank You.

Thanks for the kind words of encouragement. I appreciate you taking the time to express them.

Thanks for the info, appreciate it.

I actually have a Disco episode scheduled for this next Saturday. Going to try a couple Country and Western ones this week too.

Yeah, it does sound like one.

Ah yes, the old Five and Dime stores, I remember those. Now the dollar stores aren't even just a dollar anymore. Thanks for commenting.

I remember you and Bones too. Best wishes from us both. You might want to check out the other video too: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/aMlhZZx03NazZIE.html

Yeah perhaps. I suspect it's also because viewers just want to see the vinyl more than the sleeves.

Thanks for sharing your knowledge with us. I really appreciate it.

So far, that's one vote. Thanks for letting me know. I will likely do them sometime and certainly won't let them go before I do. I have lots of Disco too and the one video I've done so far dedicated to that format, received lots of interest. So I will do more of those at some point as well.

@@My-Media-Museum I might be interested in them if the price is right

@@jasonadams371 Sorry but nothing I show on the channel is for sale. That was never my intention here.

@@My-Media-Museum I understand that but you said let them go so I was a little confused

@@jasonadams371 I can understand the confusion. Yes, I would sell them off or give them away but I wouldn't do it through the KZfaq Channel.

That was some awesome stuff in 1973. I especially liked "Great King Rat" and "Liar" from this first release but "Keep Yourself Alive" is most certainly the masterpiece track to be found on that LP.

Cool, thanks for your comment. If you love the Beach Boys then you might want to watch this one: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/sJOZabRlupereIk.html

Yes, but do you wish you had ? Many times I will buy something hoping that I won't be in another "wish I had bought it when I had the chance" situation. Of course, that does lead to a lot of "Wish I hadn't wasted my money on this" situations as well.

@@My-Media-Museum The seller's prices were kinda high. I have an appointment to visit his storage unit next week. Hopefully I'll buy at least a few crates of records and get better prices overall. Not a record I'm gonna lose sleep over, just a bit curious to hear it being a Sabbath fanatic.

You've watched them all ? That's impressive. Thanks for your interest in the channel. There will be more, I promise.

Thanks for the input, I looked up Hotlegs and they were briefly called Doctor Father before finally changing it to 10CC all the while with the same four members. I really appreciate you pointing this out to me and everyone here at MMM.

Awesome comment, thanks for sharing your memories.

Actually, filmmakers Bob Rafelson and Bert Schneider were inspired by the Beatles' film A Hard Day's Night and decided to develop a television series about a fictional rock and roll group. Raybert sold the series idea to Screen Gems in April 1965, and Paul Mazursky and Larry Tucker completed a pilot script by August entitled "The Monkeys". Trade publications Daily Variety and The Hollywood Reporter ran an ad on September 8, 1965, seeking "Folk & Roll Musicians-Singers for acting roles in new TV series." As many as 400 hopefuls showed up to be considered as one of "4 insane boys". Fourteen actors from the audition pool were brought back for screen tests and Raybert chose their final four after audience research. Micky Dolenz, son of screen actor George Dolenz, had prior screen experience under the name "Mickey Braddock" as the 10-year-old star of the Circus Boy series in the 1950s. Englishman Davy Jones was a former jockey who had achieved some initial success on the musical stage, appearing with the cast of Oliver! on The Ed Sullivan Show the night of the Beatles' live American debut. He was appearing in Columbia Pictures productions and recording for the Colpix record label and had been identified in advance as a potential star for the series. Texan Michael Nesmith's mother Bette Nesmith Graham had invented a correction fluid and founded the company that became Liquid Paper. He had served a brief stint in the U.S. Air Force and had also recorded for Colpix under the name "Michael Blessing". Peter Tork was recommended to Rafelson and Schneider by friend Stephen Stills at his audition. Tork was a skilled multi-instrumentalist who had performed at various Greenwich Village folk clubs before moving west, where he worked as a busboy. All of this info copied from en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Monkees_(TV_series) Neil Diamond did write "I'm A Believer" as well as "A Little Bit Me, a Little Bit You" "Take a Giant Step" is a song written by Gerry Goffin and Carole King, and first released by American pop rock band the Monkees in 1966 on the B-Side of "Take The Last Train To Clarksville". The duo also wrote "Pleasant Valley Sunday" and some other songs that were recorded by the Monkees. Sidney Thomas "Tommy" Boyce (September 29, 1939 - November 23, 1994) and Bobby Hart (born Robert Luke Harshman; February 18, 1939) were an American duo of singer-songwriters. In addition to three top-40 hits as artists, the duo is well known for its songwriting for The Monkees. (including: Take The Last Train To Clarksville and the TV Shows Theme song) "Daydream Believer" was written by John Stewart who is also well known for his solo hit "Gold" which also included Stevie Nicks on backing vocals.

Wikipedia agrees with you, his stated Genres are Jazz, pop and lounge. Thank you for your input. I appreciate your feedback.

That is 100% correct. Numerous musicians have also recorded "Hi-Heel Sneakers" over the years. Including: Johnny Rivers, Elvis Presley, Ramsey Lewis, Jose Feliciano, Chuck Berry, the Chambers Brothers, Jerry Lee Lewis, David Cassidy and Boots Randolph, to name but a few." Thanks again Mark for your input and kind words.
