  1. green label CTI lps

    Posted

    some fellow emailed me in reference to a RED CLAY album i listed on ebay (why, or why) saying original press has green label , not tan. I don't think I have ever seen one like that. or any CTI lp with a green label. anyone expert on this ?

    The earliest CTI's (maybe the first five or six) are green label, after which they changed to the more familiar tan/yellow label.

    I bought "Red Clay" as a new release - it has a green label.

    And The Flamingos - one trick ponies, sort of, at least as far as what worked. But the groove on "I Only Have Eyes for You", hey, I'll take that and a lifetime inside the woman I love for the win, Peter.

    Not really one trick ponies. They hit the big time with "Eyes" in 1959, but had been making great jump sides and bluesy ballads since the early 50's. Check out their Chance or Chess recordings some time - a far cry from the slick pop for which they're famous (which I also dig, of course).

    Just played it. There's a bloody good organist on it, which I'd forgotten.

    If my memory serves, the lead singer of the Jaynetts was Darlene Love, of Bob B Soxx & the Blue Jeans. Actually, that's another.

    Memory isn't serving well, MG. Here are a couple of links to the whole story:

    Producer was Abner Spector, not Phil.

  22. Herb Pomeroy RIP

    in Artists

    Posted · Edited by Stereojack

    Trumpeter, bandleader, educator, and mentor to a generation of musicians, Herb Pomeroy passed away on Saturday, August 11. He was 77.

    Herb was woven into the fabric of Boston jazz, from playing with Charlie Parker on his visits here in the 1950s to his teaching and mentoring students at Berklee for over forty years. Trumpeter Joe Gordon and pianist Jaki Byard played in his big band, among others.

    To say he will be missed is a gross understatement.
