Armed Forces Radio & Television Service LP

Here is sort of a unique item. I don`t really know anything about this type disc, except they were issued to be played over radio stations operated by the various branches of the service or at service recreation halls for entertaining the troops.
Hope you all enjoy it!



Scan of the paper sleeve it was issued in. I believe these were meant to be played only by the services a few times and then thrown away.

Bradley Kincaid 45 on the Royale label

Here is a neat one. I don`t care to collect 45`s myself, but I do like this red one. Also, they are a couple of good recordings of these titles for Bradley.
If you like Bradley Kincaid, be sure to search my blog, there is several other Kincaid records on here.

Juniorette Special - In The Best Circles They Are Dancing Square

Here`s is something of an oddity. This is a 7 inch 78 made of paper, coated with, most likely, clear acetate. There is no artists names or song titles mentioned on the disc. This likely was issued in a paper sleeve that had that information on it. Of course, I don`t have the sleeve. The material is of what I`d say a late 1940`s version of an old time string band. Hope you like it!

Tracks list---
1. Little Brown Jug
2. Golden Slippers

Wayne Raney - Songs Of The Hills

Here is a pretty good LP. It has about the biggest hits Wayne had on the King label. I`m not going to go into any history on Wayne, as I have posted another Wayne Raney LP before and Wrote about all I knew about him then. Just search my blog for Wayne Raney to find the other post. Hope you all enjoy this one!

J.E. Mainer - Vol. 9 & 10

Here is the next installment of the J.E. Mainer series. As can be heard, the farther along we get in the volumes, the more "bluegrassy" they sound, as more and more the band features Morris Herbert in sort of a lead role, almost replacing J.E. We are getting close to when J.E. passed away, maybe he was having some health problems and couldn`t come up with as many tunes to record, although he doesn`t sound like he is losing any of his musicianship as time goes on through the series.



Track List For Vol.9---

Apology

Sorry if you have had trouble downloading the Lonnie Glosson LP. The file service I use has changed the way they do things and I got the link to work, then it wouldn`t. Now I think I have it fixed ok.

Lonnie Glosson - All Harmonica - Volume One

Here is an LP for a good blog friend of mine. I can`t really tell you any history of Mr. Glosson, other than what`s on the back of the LP cover. The only other thing is I believe I`ve heard that he lived up into his 90`s and still performed some up until nearly the time of his death.
I see this LP is called Volume One. As far as I know, there has never been a Volume Two. At least I`ve never saw a Volume Two.
Enjoy!
