Well, you've read the notes, the notes spoke of happiness, muffins, peanut butter, and raspberry jam, and now it is time for you to post until the happy cows come home.

And the word of the day is: SANGUINE!

Did I use that word recently. Seems familiar. I like it, though.

And it likes me.

I remember the other popular brand from my childhood - Laura Scudder. But I think we were always Skippy, which is surprising, as I would have thought I would have insisted on Peter Pan peanut butter, just because I loved Peter Pan. Also, JIF came along much earlier than I thought - 1958.

A non-Wednesday question for BK: if you do replace singers for any of the songs, will you (or someone involved) contact the original singers and let them know, or just let them find out on their own?

Topic of the Day: I do love me some peanut butter...but I mentioned last night that I prefer brands like Adam's that's made only with peanuts and salt, no palm or hydrogenated oils or sugar.

OR, did you mean that you'd have the original singers re-record their own songs?

Contacting all the singers would be difficult as at least two have passed on. I'm not sure what I'd do at this point, but no, I would not have any of the singers from back then redo their tracks - frankly, I don't know that the keys would work twenty-five years later.

I love peanut butter...especially chunky!

We always had Peter Pan or JIF - although now and then we would get the store brand. It was usually a bit dry for my taste.

Peanut butter and grape jelly.

I have bookmarked the TURTLES show to watch. They were indeed a favorite. And that clip of "Guide for the Married Man" was terrific.

I have ONE Turtles LP on White Whale somewhere. I need to find it.

DR RODZINSKI didn't our mutual friend who has disappeared from the face of this earth name his daughter after the Turtles song - Eleanor?

Good morning, all!

This morning. at 7:30 EST, I was unable to log on.

BK, those two recordings were Book-of-the-Month Club, not Time Life. Several years ago, I contacted BOMC, and the people I spoe to seemed to have no knowledge of the recordings.

elmore3003 · « **Reply #17 on:** September 08, 2025, 05:13:05 AM »

I remember there being a ton of the NY Songs LP recordingsat the now-dead Barnes & Noble record store at Fifth Avenue and 18th(?) Street.

bk · « **Reply #18 on:** September 08, 2025, 05:14:21 AM »

Is there stuff to listen to from these albums - if no one knows what they are, then I might take a chance on them.

singdaw · « **Reply #19 on:** September 08, 2025, 05:17:15 AM »

I have those Book of the Month Club CD sets in a box somewhere. I really like them. Some of the first CDs I ever bought, when CDs were new.

singdaw · « **Reply #20 on:** September 08, 2025, 05:17:32 AM »

The Sondheim set, especially, is great.

singdaw · « **Reply #22 on:** September 08, 2025, 05:17:52 AM »

And others.

bk · « **Reply #23 on:** September 08, 2025, 05:19:03 AM »

Just looked up the Sondheim, which did come out on CD but probably could be lots better since that was in 1985. Too many heavy-hitters still with us to take a chance on it, I think. I may write Paul McKibbins and see if he knows what's what. If they can't find the paperwork, I'd feel okay about it. Don't know the NY stuff at all.

bk · « **Reply #24 on:** September 08, 2025, 05:21:26 AM »

I can't find anything about the McGlinn NY album being on CD.

I love peanut butter. Like DR George, I only buy the natural brands - only ingredient is peanuts. The oil separates, but you just stir it up.

This is an interesting description of how the song "Eleanor" came about, in effect written as a deliberate attempt to spoof "Happy Together"

IIRC, I was already feeling quite old when CDs were new. (At least I felt quite old thinking about still having so many 45s.)
