Break a leg ChasSmith!

Hello Page3!

[Freddie]

Off to JFK now, where it looks like my flight is delayed a couple hours but they want us there on time anyway.

Sending easy-travel vibes!

[Rodzinski]

How could I forget the OC Mame LP yesterday? A staple in my house.

[Rodzinski]

The rain rain rain came down down down, to quote the Sherman Bros.

[Rodzinski]

 It actually was as sunny a day as we’ve had lately, but in Southern California where it never rains.  Seems I’ve often heard that kind of talk before.

[Rodzinski]

By the way, it’s not a soundtrack exactly, but the Disneyland Records “Songs About Winnie the Pooh and Tigger,” produced/arranged by Camarata and featuring Sterling Holloway and Louis Prima and a gorgeous choir. That’s one great recording. Pull that off your shelf sometime and put it on your turntable.

It never rains in California, But Tom, don't they warn ya?
It pours, man, it pours

[Freddie]

Kind of like a Yogi Berra lyric?  Nobody goes there, it's too crowded.

Last night DR Rodzinski said:

I’ve been listening to the Do Re Mi original cast recording on RCA with its nifty die-cut sleeve.

I've always been a sucker for those die-cut sleeves and other RCA deluxe packaging such as the Soria Series. (They did a few of the Soria single disc releases in the extra heavy cardboard but without die-cuts, I think). Other die-cuts included an album or two of Dick Schory "exotica" or percussion music. In later years, the first issues of their ".5" half-speed-mastered series were die-cuts, as was Merrily We Roll Along. (If I'm remembering these right, being too lazy to look them up!)

[ChasSmith]

Break a leg ChasSmith!

Thank you, sir!

[Rodzinski]

Trying to think of that series name with the die-cut heavy sleeves. Action Stereo, or Stereo Action.

[Rodzinski]

I used to have a bunch but had to cull from my exotica when we moved at some point.

[Rodzinski]

Here’s a good example. Schory’s Stereo Action Goes Broadway.

Culled From My Exotica - sounds like a possible title for something

[ChasSmith]

That's it - Stereo Action! There were probably many more than I ever came across.

[Rodzinski]

Another cool example.

I may still have my Esquivel one.

[ChasSmith]

You probably have, or had, those big book-style albums RCA issued with 10 Living Stereo releases? I never found great copies of those sets, and didn't really seek them out, but I think I still have the one that had some Esquivel and other such.
