Well Folks, Once again, it's that time of year.

To all my friends and supporters I just wanted to wish everyone who celebrates the holiday a Very Happy Thanksgiving. Sorry I haven't been very active lately. I'm having major back problems and can't sit at the computer for long periods of time.

Rare Find

Thursday, September 9, 2010

Just found out another popular artist from the '60's passed away

I was playing some of my 45's and was listening to "Seemann, deine Heimat ist das Meer" and wanted to find out more information on this record and found that Edith Zusar aka (Lolita) passed away on June 30, 2010 in Salzburg/Austria from Cancer. She was born on January 17th. 1931 St. Pölten/Austria.

I found a short video clip of her performing this song from 1960 but when I embedded the video it was too large so I'm posting the YouTube link instead here and another live performance from 2005 here

I found a lot of information about her on WIKIPEDIA but I don't always trust information from WIKI as I have found errors on a few things and added correct information. It was for Don Janse and whomever started the WIKI info stated that the Don Janse Chorale performed on a record for Singer Sewing Machine Company. They stated that it was the first record produced for consumers (I'm paraphrasing) but I have two Christmas albums from Singer and there was a record produced the year before the one that WIKI mentions so I added the information about it.

I want to thank fellow blogger's who have already done links for my posts on their blogs.

Though this is truly a labor of love it takes a lot of time and effort to copy the vinyl to my computer and clean up the audio and to scan the album art. Everything I post is from my own personal vinyl collection and not something I found on other blogs and not taken from CD's. I have been collecting vinyl records for over 45 years.

Notice About The Music I Post

If you are the copyright holder of anything I post and object to it being here, please advise me and I will remove the download link. Most of what I post is from 1972 or earlier and long since out of print.

I try to remove all the clicks, crackle and noise as well as 60Hz hum from my recordings using CoolEditPro and iZoTope RX. Some clicks may still be present, but do not interfere with the sound. I have had some mp3's that don't sound right after I remove the clicks as it physically changes the sound where the click was and muffles the music. If that happens, I will do the best I can at removing the clicks without degrading the music.
Here I will post some of my favorite Non-Christmas Records. Some of my favorite female singers from the 1950's & 1960's are Jeannie C. Riley, Sandy Posey, Cilla Black, Glenda Collins, Patty Duke, The Pixies Three, Marcie Blane, Little Peggy March, The Raindrops, Jackie DeShannon, Nancy Sinatra, Tammy Wynette, Dolly Parton, Loretta Lynn, Dottsy, Lacy J. Dalton, Margo Smith, Petula Clark, Tanya Tucker, Dusty Springfield.
