So it's time to clean out the hard drive again....and you KNOW if I put needle to vinyl it's being recorded, and if it's recorded I'm posting it here, right? In my endless quest to do my part to make sure that every album ever recorded by anyone ends up on the internet....here are the losers of the 33 1/3 cent bin!
Good news: a sealed Spinorama album!
Bad news: It's Victor Herbert operetta.
Good news: a song called Absinthe Frappe!
Bad news: it sux.
Victor Herbert Goes Spinorama
Here's something by some guitar player named Vincent Lopez, he might be famous or something. I tried to google him but fell asleep in the middle of typing "Vincent". It looked promising but is dull dull dull. No album cover either, suck it up.
Side one-- and only side one, don't be bugging me for side 2, I'm NOT in the mood--of Victor Lopez - Tokyo Rhapsody
Heeyyyyyyyyyy Tooooooooooooni! There was one song that I made it all the way through on this album of Italian favorites, all the rest were ballads. No like-a da ballads, so you get one tune, a Medley of three songs. I would have typed out the names of all three songs in the medley, but my keyboard doesn't have the Italian alphabet on it. Sorry.
Toni Arden - Eh, Pastafazool To You!
For 33 1/3 cents I couldn't resist the siren song of such titles as "Chicken Pickin" and "Steelin' Some" by the 19th & Cherry Gang. It's pretty standard pedal steel, no vocals. Yee-hum.

Re: Spin-O-Rama. The covers are always low budget interesting, the records not fit to be drink coasters. I still buy 'em when I see them.
"Absinthe Frappe"..there was a song about that, by TV composer Earle Hagen, ["Andy Gritth"], that which "Your Pal Doug" posted.
As for Vincent, he was no relative of J.Lo,that's for sure! He was one of the early recording artists, a hot andf sweet dance leader of the 1920s. A later 30s
version had singer Betty Hutton [whose sister was the one and only Marion of Glenn Miller fame!]
Me "no like-a da ballads" either but that 19th & Cherry Gang looks mighty promising - it's top shelf crap from Crown and they put out some wild arse Go-Go music. I'd pay somewhere in the neighborhood of the low tens for a record like this - and have many many times.
Thanks for the trifecta, Baikinange!
Yes! Another Spin-O-rama find, ready to be added on the collection!
But Victor Herbert is, indeed, insufferable. I have only an introductory LP to his music (orchestra directed by Kostelanetz)and the only reason that takes up space to my record store-board, is that is my one and only "non-breakable" Columbia album...
Vincent Lopez was a famous band leader in the 20's and 30's. Recorded hundreds of 78rpm and I have 162 of them.

Hi, Thank you for The stradivari Strings. But could you post the whole album? I collect such orchestras and I think it's beautiful.
Thanks in advance, Ron
