Eddie Nash and Joy King
Live Performance At Ghost Town, Maggie Valley, N.C.
HCDD - 1001
1973

Ghost Town is or was an amusement park that seems to have been closed for renovations in 2010.

The back cover notes mention Nash's 10 instrument one man band that "merited a feature in Ripley's Believe It Or Not, April 26, 1973.

This record was made after the duo spent "several seasons at Ghost Town." I found an example online of one other album they made together.

Obscure solo LP featuring Todd, his guitar and the occasional early drum machine generated rhythm.

From the back cover: The mint fresh aura these kids radiate is deeply infectious. Their physical appearance is what every mom and dad in this great country hopes his or her child will reflect... "CLEANLINESS," a proper commodity not always found with their age group peers.

The Unique Sound Of The Vega Bros.

Oriental Melody - Marcos L. Vega

The Unique Sound Of The Vega Bros.
Featuring Marcos Vega And His Paraguayan Harp
Jewel Records - Cincinnati, Ohio - LPS 668

Apparently The Vega Bros. were engaged at The Carrousel Inn, Cincinnati, Ohio when they decided to make this private press recording.

From the back cover: Already well-established in South America, they (The Vega Bros) are enjoying success in the United States in such places as Miami's Hotel Fontainebleau, The Concord Hotel in The Catskills, Chicago's Continental Plaza Hotel and Cincinnati's famous Carrousel Inn.

This album is very different from the typical Jewel pressing. Jewel pressed many white southern gospel albums. This was an "upscale" project for Jewel, including the cover, which may seem a bit cheesy by today's standards, but was an accomplishment back in the day for Jewel who produced many album stock covers. Rusty York owner of the label owner/operator did a fine job engineering the sound.

Our Own Thing
The Voyagers
Jewel Records LPS 297
Queen City Album - Cincinnati, Ohi

Created as a a tie-in promotion with an Indianapolis, IN "air travel club" of the same name (Voyager 1000). From the back cover: The Voyagers first met Voyager 1000 in Indianapolis six months ago - and it was a case of mutual admiration - because each group likes to do "Their Own Thing." Subsequently the title of this inaugural album.

Bunny Dean - Vocals, Benny Santora - Keyboard/Vocals and Louie Mazzucca drums/vocals is pure lounge. Additional artists credited include Bill Holmes - Bass, Ed Drake - Guitar, Frank Brown - Trumpet and Mike Andre - Sax

Mystery Flight is an original composition according to the notes.

The Friendship
First Edition
Bee Jay Studios - Orlando, Florida
NR12383

From the back cover: "The Friendship" appears internationally and is home based in Tampa, Florida.

Curiously, there is a tune written about Fountain Square, which is located in downtown Cincinnati, Ohio. At first glance I thought this LP was a local lounge find (I live close to Cincinnati). But there is no connection to Cincinnati to be found in the notes on the back cover.

One of the band members who I believe autographed the back cover, Barry Darvell, appears to have been a teenage "heart throb"charting with a song titled "Fountain Of Love". He made a number of recordings for Atlantic. This record seems to be a rarity if you are collecting Darvell.  According to information found in the article I linked to above, Darvell retired from the entertainment business in 1982, moved to Gulf Shores, Alabama to pursue a career in real estate.

Other members in the group list a wide array of professional experiences to their credit.
