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

[Randy Watts]

Thanks for the information, Ray. Someone sent me a note off-list and told me that he had four of the five Clooney remakes you list -- "Botch-a-Me," "Come On-a My House," "Hey There," and "Half as Much" -- on an album titled "Rosemary Clooney and Dick Haymes," released by Exact Productions as EX-232 and with a 1980 copyright date.

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.
Side 1 : Band 2 : Botch-A-Me ; 5 : Come On-A-My House ; 7 : Half as Much
Side 2 : Band 3 : Hey There ; 6 : This Ole House ) K-TEL RECORDS TN 806321 
(P) 1981

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