[78-L] Decca Songs of Our Times Series

[David Lennick]

I bought them by the pound some years ago..got the entire series at the Sally 
Ann in Niagara Falls NY. Don't ask me why. They've got to be the most boring 
things in the world, although Artie Schutt did one set (piano duets with 
someone named Marlene Fingerle) and he's usually interesting. The liners are 
probably more entertaining.

By the way, you can't consider yourself to have the entire "Songs of" series 
unless you have Airplane Songs and a couple of other vocal albums put out 
around the same time.

Didn't the issues on World Transcriptions have extra tracks?

It also says 'each album contains 20 to 29 great hit tunes of that year'Were they all the same artist?T _______________________________________________78-L mailing list78-L at klickitat.78online.comhttp://klickitat.78online.com/mailman/listinfo/78-l
