[78-L] OT: Latter-day Rosemary Clooney recordings

[Ray Kilcoyne]

I also remember Rosemary cut a remake of SUZY SNOWFLAKE for her 1978 
Christmas LP on Mistletoe.  The Mistletoe version is still heard at 
Christmas time on the air, while I never hear the Columbia original.
I wonder if your CD might have come from a K-Tel record from 1981.  I found 
this info on the Rosemary Clooney site.  It's not clear where K-Tel got the 
recordings.

THE VERY BEST OF ROSEMARY CLOONEY & THE FOUR ACES - not originals / 
re-recorded tracks.

K-Tel also put out these five tracks on a short CD in 2007.

An off-topic question, but I haven't been able to find any information 
elsewhere and thought I would ask here. A Reader's Digest CD I picked up 
recently has four cuts on it by Rosemary Clooney, stereo remakes of "Come 
On-a My House," "Half as Much," "Hey There," and "This Ole House." There's 
no discographical information provided on these. Just a note that they were 
licensed from Dominion Entertainment. I was wondering if anybody knows 
anything about them. When they were recorded, where, for whom. That kind of 
thing. Judging by her voice, I'm guessing they're from the '70s.

It's not life-or-death information. Just curiosity, really. I never knew 
Clooney remade any of her '50s hits, given her antipathy to much of her 
material from that era.

The CD was in a boxful of Reader's Digest CDs I picked up very cheap. Mostly 
multi-disc sets, licensed heavily from RCA and MCA. Back when there was an 
RCA and an MCA to license from.
