Michael O'Dea Sings His Favourite Songs

The Impossible Dream
Michael O'Dea Sings His Favourite Songs
Jury's JR LP 5

From the back cover: Most singers by nature are temperamental and invariably not only give ulcers to themselves but also to their Producers. I am happy to say that this is no way typical of Michael. He has a warm delightful personality and his greatest desire is to entertain and make people happy.

Zieli Band With Hammond Organ

The Boogaloo Dance
Torna Statte Vicino A Me Chella'lla
Zieli Band With Hammond Organ
DRC-43069

This post is sort of a messed. I found two other private press albums the Zieli Band made online. Apparently someone owned more than one Zieli LP and mistakenly switched records when they returned the disc to the jacket. I would not blog this record because of the jacket issue, but the tracks are so much fun... what the heck. The cover that should go with this album features a photo of the group, five men standing in matching jackets and a woman sitting at The Hammond. I believe the group must be Italian, probably doing cruise ship gigs.

Anywhoo... the recording is a quirky 60s lounge record (due to The Hammond vibe and plodding drum).

Mr. Lucky's Presents Reedy Hall and The Hallmarks

Till I Can't Take It Any More
Mr. Lucky's Presents Reedy Hall and The Hallmarks
Fireside Studios - Nashville, TN.

Private press engineered by Porter Wagoner. Jacket notes by Faron Young: These days it takes a lot of things to make a good album. It takes good songs, good singers, good musicians, good studio, etc. When you listen to this album, I think you'll find it to be a record that stands on its own. Good luck.
