On the cover of one of my reference books..a picture of Ricky's
Verve release(A Teenage Romance I think) is shown...but the 78 rpm
disc has a Red/orange lable..
Now... every Verve release i have seen has been black with
silver..or white lettering .
Was this orange a common Verve label color in the 50s?.

I was busy today cleaning our patio furniture and patio deck and doing some much needed garden weeding and pruning and had the front window open with Elvis playing plus some Styx. Love that Mr. Roboto. Kate
I love Styx too Kate............my kids favorite was "Mr. Robato" but I didn't like the song.......it kind of gave me a rash! lol I think my favorite by them is probably "Too Much Time On My Hands" and I enjoy "Come Sail Away" and "Babe" also.............an excellent70's and 80's group!!! I also have Dennis DeYoung's song "Desert Moon" on a CD..........There is just something about his voice that I love!!!!!! v. :)

Some recent songs.
*Baby, Let's Play House-Elvis(Louisiana Hayride)
*Last Night I Dreamed-Fiestas
*When I Was Young-Animals
*Come To The Sunshine-Harpers Bizarre
*Darlene-The Dreams...
It has been a fun listening session..
What is rockin' your world...now??
Indy John
Not too much rockin' in this house, John............way too early! I notice you have a Fiestas song in your list above. I haven't heard it. Considering that they only had two top-100 songs, I am amazed that I have recently found a few others by them. The only song that I am familiar with in your list is the Harpers Bizarre song............Let's all have a good Sunday!! v. :)

Ballroom blitz was used in a beer commercial in Canada, and so played a lot as a result.

My daughter may have had that song on a tape she owned in the 80's........I know that I have heard the song somewhere other than the radio at the time. I don't know about a commercial............v.

Good morning Uwe! Well, it is afternoon there by you! Glad you are enjoying some great weather and great music on this fine Sunday. I have never been a Cat Stevens fan, but I know and enjoy the other 4 songs you mention....especially Gerry/Pacemakers. Have you ever heard their "You'll Never Walk Alone"??? It is a flip side, but one of my favorite songs by them....................v. :)
Styx were great, but my most favourite song of Styx is Boat On The
River, wonder if the song was familar by the others

Hi Vicki,
sure i know the song You´ll Never Walk Alone by Gerry & The Pacemakers.
In England it was an A-Side, the third single and the third no. 1 chart
topper in a row after How Do You Do It and I Like It in 1963. A
beautiful version.

I just downloaded the song by them, listened to it and converted it and will burn it later, Uwe........a very nice song that I had never heard. I don't find that song as an A or B side so it must be an album cut.........do you know the year? Thanks for the suggestion........the song is sure different sounding for "Styx" style................v. :)

It was the B side here of "How Do You Do It".......go figure! And "I Like It" was #17 here in September of 1964......but I do believe you have the US charts books, so would know that. :) v.
Hi Vicki,
it´s curios, the song was not a chart hit in the US or in the UK but in
Germany. It reached no. 5 in 1980 here. That´s why it´s such a popular
song here. Sad that the song never charted in the US or the UK

Hi Vicki,
you believe right, i have Joel Whitburns Top Pop Singles Book 1956-1999
and i wait for the new release with the charts till 2002. If you like a
clean mp3 version of You´ll Never Walk Alone i can upload the song. I
have a great EMI CD called The Best Of Gerry & The
Pacemakers-Defintitive Collection from 1992 and it was one of my first
CDs i ever bought.

I am sad too, Uwe. I shall tag it for 1980...Germany. I want my son to hear it the next time I see him.............he loves Styx and Dennis is one of his favorite singers! Thanks again for mentioning the song! v.

Yes! The cleaner the better. lol Whenever time and room allows, Uwe! I can't remember where I got my copy, but probably at Kaaza.......in any case, I want it on another CD soon! Thanks so much! :) v.
Uwe, after really listening to the voice on that song, it sure
doesn't sound like Dennis DeYoung.........any idea which group member
it may be? If that is Dennis, it sure doesn't sound like him! v. :)
Did you listen closely to the words of this one? 'He smoked his first
cigarette at ten'...

I doubt it would ever be used down here, in a beer commercial, as
there was once a 'Blatz' beer and a 'Blitz Weinhard'. Don't know if
either one is still on the market.

I have seen a few 45's that are orange and yellow. They seem to
predate 1957. The label was black with silver print up to '66, when
it became blue with silver print. (Soul & Inspiration by The
Righteous Bros. is on this design) Sometime in '67, it became a
cremeish colour, as the label itself became more fragmented. There
was Verve Folkways and Verve Forecast. By 1970, M G M records was in
trouble. (Their problems started back in '67, when they invested
heavily in groups from Boston...The most famous being the Velvet
Underground) I believe Verve was dissolved about this time, except
for reissues, until the Polydor takeover in '76.

We got all the Gerry & The Pacemakers songs about a year later, they
had peaked in the U K. We got Freddie & The Dreamers TWO years later!

Hi Vicki,
í don´t really know who the lead singer of Boat On The River was, i´m
not so familar with the Groups history, so i only know the a few of
their singles releases and that´s all. I only know that Dennis left the
group in 1984 for a solo career.
