Hi Professor,
On part 66.26, you have the UK flip side of Dusty's "You Don't Have To Say You Love Me." I'm sure you know, but the US flip was "Little By Little." Thanks again for everything!
I'm sorry, I don't mean to be rude or argumentative, but what I'm saying is that "Every Ounce Of Strength" was NOT the US b-side. "Little By Little" was the US B-side. "Every Ounce Of Strength" was never released in the USA, on single or album. In fact, I have 18 Dusty Springfield CD's, and as far as I can tell, it was never even released on CD in the US,at least not on the cd's I have. I only have it on the UK Singles A's and B's Collection. Whitburn and Discogs.com confirm this. But, it's your project, so I won't say any more. Sorry, and thanks for all you've done!
Here's my contributions to the effort.

Many, many thanks BR. The wish-list has been reduced by six tracks which is absolutely priceless to me. Ramsey's tracks will remain on this list: "All My Love..." Single Edit 3:02 and "Hi Heel Sneakers Pt. 2" Cadet recording 2:47. Also, Shacklefords "California Sunshine Girl - Instrumental", not vocal. I have exactly the same copy of Jive Five and it is cut/faded at 2:17 while the label time is 2:30?

Hello Professor,
Here is my first upload to zippyshare. It is California Sunshine Girl b-side, instrumental version. Ripped from my vinyl. https://www32.zippyshare.com/v/KQxAJVI6/file.html
Please give me feedback as I have a few more songs from your want list, but it will take me some time to dig them out.
Also, I am wondering what your plans are for presenting the music of the 1950's. Do you plan to include the R&B charted songs and/or the Country charted tunes? Pop charts only would be pretty boring.
Thanks for the great job on the 60's charts.
tsi&hrjs
1. Many thanks for California Sunshine Girl - instrumental. The quality is perfect, mint condition. Please continue.
2. Yes, I plan to continue with Billboard charts, after completing 1969. At first the 1950's, which are extremely interesting, for me even more than last years of the 1960's. Then, R&B, Adult Contemporary and Country. Then, the 1940's. Still plenty of fantastic music to be compiled.
Glad you liked my contribution. I will try to find some more.
Sounds like this is a very long-term project for you. The speed at which you run through it is amazing.

Congrats on posting the entire 1960s - what a huge task! I hope that everyone is as thankful as I am for your efforts. Wonderful historical collection!I am looking forward to the 1950s as well.
Cheers,

Many thanks. This is the Single Edit. I've included 3:54 exerpt from the album, which evidently is not the true Single Edit - will replace immediately.
Hello Professor,
I am now working on your want list and I've found a couple possible discrepancies. Here one that I found from your want list that appears to already be in your completed file for 1963 Pt 52. It is "this was my love" by Sammy Davis Jr. Maybe you used a different version for a filler. Let me know if you really need that one.
I noticed two others that I do not have, The Ardells, - "lonely valley" and Jan Burgens - "shine".
I am about of quarter of the way through your list and I have found four items, so I am hoping to have a nice load to dump on you soon.
tsi&hrjs
I leave a track on the wish-list if I'm not happy with the copy that I have included. I remember that Davis and Burgens tracks are edited (faded out) from the LP versions and I'm not sure whether they are Single Edits. Ardells seems to be OK, good quality and time matching the label one and I will delete this track from the wish-list.
Curious as to where you found that version of "Oh, Happy Day" by the Edwin Hawkins Singers. It sounds updated. 1969 pt 20
I have this song on at least 10 sources, 3 different edits. The one that I have included exactly matches the label time 4:59 but probably it is Spanish edit on Buddah, majority are Pavilion edited at 5:09 and probably they are US Edits regardles time discrepancy, the third is significantly faded out, probably UK edit. I have decided to include all three on updated 1969.20.
Thnx Professor for your incredible nice work.
Is it possible that the update from volume 68 part 32 is the same as vol 68 part 31.
I'm missing nrs 466 to 480 after deleting the older part 32!!!
And when tryin' to DL part 32 it gives me part31!!!
Thanks anyway for your great collection. ?
Bye the way: it's a much better way of uploading ( and downloading) files with Google Drive. No more anoying Advertisement like on Zippyshare.
And for the download time it's also very quick in time (about 10 à 15 seconds /part.
Thnx & Grts and keep up the good work
Hi Professor,
Here's a link for Joe Reisman's "Navajo Nocturne" from 1957.

Thanks for everything!
Dockman
Greetings Professor,
I have greatly enjoyed your project. So far i've been using some of your 1968 files for a project of my own. Since the last time I wrote you I've gone through my vinyl and come up with 20 that were on your list as of a month or so ago. I hope you enjoy them.

1960 Pt. 37 & 1960 Pt. 38 Zijn niet goed als ik probeer ze binnen te halen krijg ik 1961 Pt. 37 & 1961 Pt. 38 zonde is dat nog te verhelpen Bij voorbaat dank
My set-up is a Gemini direct drive professional turntable run through a DAK pre-amp to DAK Audio Workshop for editing and tagging. There was only one single (Girl by The Magistrates that was in really bad shape and need a lot of noise removal). I save the files as mono 160 kbps mp3s.
Do you have suggestions for a better approach? I am used to the sound, so they sound pretty good to me, but let me know what you think.
tsi&hrjs
DAK Audio Workshop sounds fine but the effect of your rips could be evidently better (wider bandwidth, selectivity of sounds). I have already received few tracks that you’ve sent, from other Oldies-fan, and they sound much better – please check Ray Peterson (64.63) or Simon Sisters (64.21) to see the difference. I don’t know what workshop has been used, may ask if you wish. Please forgive me my remarks. Your help is priceless. Simply, I want you to know that the effect of your rips could be better, perhaps even using DAK.
Thank you for your feedback. I will first check my cartridge and stylus. I got the turntable used from my uncle who was an electrical engineer and DJ, but I don't know how long it had been since those were replaced. tsi&hrjs
Hi Professor,
Thanks for all your hard work on these confusing earlier 50's charts. I just had a few observations which aren't serious enough to warrant changing anything, but I thought you might like to be made aware anyway. On the Davis Sisters' "I Forgot More Than You'll Ever Know," 15 August was actually the date it entered the Country charts; it didn't enter the Pop Jukebox chart until 10 October 1953. On Georgia Gibbs' "Somebody Bad Stole De Wedding Bell," you have it listed as entering the chart on 20 March 1954. This is actually an error in the Whitburn book. It DID enter the chart on 20 March, but that was a re-entry. It was then in it's third week on the chart. It originally entered the DeeJay chart on 20 February 1954, then fell off and re-entered on 20 March. Also, I think you inadvertently omitted Molly Bee's "I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus" from the first part in 1955. It charted for one week on 03 January 1955. If you don't have that, both it and it's flip are available on Youtube.
I hope you find this information beneficial. Thanks again!
Dockman
Excellent work here! On the 1960 Hot 100 & BU volumes, the final one, 60.43 erroneously links to the 61.43.
I just noticd the Burl Ives - A Holly Jolly Christmas you have in 1964 part 65 is not correct. It is the rerecorded version from 1965, the 1964 version is shorter and faster without the guitar in the intro
Yes, Burl Ives re-recorded this song but also in 1964 and this re-recorded version appearad on a single, time 2:08, as on the label (original recording is 1:28)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f8Em2Ixvefo
Then, there is no error. Thanks for your interest in my project.
http://www.45cat.com/record/31695
ok I wasn't aware the second version was used till his 1965 christmas album
Hello ProfessorRnR,
I started to collect my favorite songs I had on tape in the late 50s and early 60s from your
Billboard collection. With some I had the desire to listen to them directly during this work.
So it happens with - (My Life) Without You - from Johnny Tillotson in 1961 nr 472a.
Oh, What's that ? It's not the song I heard in 61 and on my storage.
I took the original from my Disk. I've made a zip on mega with the CD JT EP-Collection 30 Tracks.
The link is
https://mega.nz/#!yfpFgCZQ!UGPFqCEjNi_b6sJHxKKeyMXQAb4-cARqScQ5OYL-FeA
Thank You for your really big work to the 40s back.
Rolf
Tillotson recorded Without You twice. First, for Cadence, in 1961. Then, for MGM, in 1967. I have checked the version included in Part 1961/32 and this is the correct (Cadence) version, same as the one included in EP Collection. I have decided to update Part 61/32 such that now both versions are included. Thank you very much for your interest in my project. Repairing 1940s is a burden but the effect is really stunning, probably my copies (de-clicked and de-noised) are better than copies available on officially issued CDs.
Really enjoying your collection - thanks for sharing.
Not a complaint, but would like to inform you that metadata (titles, art, etc) are not complete in 1945, part 45-14. There are a few tracks without info and not all have your album cover.
Thanks again,
Mike M
Thank you for the great work and for sharing it. Only today I came to hearing 1959 Part 36 and I believe the correct flip for Little Anthony's Shimmy Shimmy Ko Ko Bop is incorrect and should be I'm Still In Love With You, instead of I'm Falling In Love With You, that I think it's a single he recorded in 1973 ou 74 for Avco, and charted in 1974. I writing you in hope to be helpful to this wonderful collection! Jorge from Brasil
Many many thanks Jorge. Obviously you are right. I have taken the wrong B-side from "End Complete Singles" CD, I didn't check its correctness. I have the correct one on few other sources and now, both tracks are present in Part 59.36.
I re-downloaded part 45-14, and all is fine this time. Must have been an error at my end. Sorry to have bothered you without checking further! Thanks again for this wonderful series.
Cheers,
Mik M
You are doing us all a fantastic service. I have no complaints, and thank you for your efforts. I am particularly enjoying the 1940s, as many of the tracks are rarely heard anywhere else.
Cheers,
Mike M
Some wonderful collections here! Thank you.
As to 'Drawback: Annoying warning appears when downloading: “file is too large and not verified on viruses”': That doesn't even count as a drawback, compared to numerous other services that do everything they can to sell you this and that, or worse.
thank you from Aussie
Just an amazing resource ... I'm filling up external drives as we speak. But here's one thing: I can't figure out what to call the main folder for stashing these discs in my genre hierarchy. Putting them under OLDIES is easy enough. But would it be strictly accurate to file all of these in a folder titled something like BILLBOARD CHARTS in all cases? Even for R&B? I've looked around here for a definition of what all this great material represents, chart-wise, but haven't found anything. Probably it's so obvious that I'm the only one who doesn't see it, but ... could you restate it? TIA...
Hi,
First of all, thanks a billion for this tremendous effort you are sharing.
I am much obliged!
The reason I am sending this message is that I believe that the Track-list R&B
1950 is also been in 1951, so the 1951 list is missing.
I don't know if I am mistaken but, could you please take a look?
Thanks in advance for your time.
Many thanks for your kind words of support, such words are very important to me, give me motivation. Also, thanks for finding the error - corrected.
Thanks!
Keep on trucking!
Best regards.

Many thanks for all, very nice collection! But one question I have? Hot 100 & BU Hits of the 60's - 1968, Part 21 is missing, because it is the same link as for Part 22. (Plese see: 68.21 301-315 and 68.22 316-330 ) Can you plese fix the link with the number 68.21 301-315 for Part 21 and repost? Thanks a lot for it!
Many thanks for the Billboard Country Collection too. The links for the Track lists here, for 1944 & 1945 are dead! Can you fix and repost this perhaps? Thank you a lot of!
I have 3 of your 8 missing country hits so far, how do I get them to you ?
I use WeTransfer, the link is https://we.tl/t-mnWA6TfRZX
The link is good for 7 days only.
3 items - Cliffie Stone - Take It Any Way You Can Get It.mp3 (4.13 MB);
Jimmy Wakely - Try To Understand.mp3 (7.17 MB); Tiny Hill - Behind The Eight Ball.mp3 (2.4 MB)
Different bitrates but I hope you can use them. Thanks for a great country project.
Fantastic, the best Xmas gift. The sound quality of all three is perfect or very good. I do the remastering, using professional software, and export all files at 320, then, bitrate of the original material is meaningless - these tunes are 50++ years old. Btw, all three are pretty nice tunes.
Here's a link to "The Big Let Down" by Kitty Wells. It's not my rip. The source to me was .wma It's noisy at the beginning but after Kitty starts singing the sound is acceptable the rest of the record. While Billboard calls this a B side, it reached #23 in Record World. It was written by Roy Botkin who also gave Kitty the hits "Cold And Lonely", Happiness Hill", and "Lonely Side Of Town".

This is supposedly from an album (not mine) but I think the single was the same version. The Mosby's "Wrong Side Of Town".

Many many thanks Larry,
The quality of both tracks is excellent. With iZotope RX7 I can handle with much greater noise. The album track must be also single track – same label time.
George (ProfRnR)
Hi Professor,
FYI, in the Hot 100 1967 links, 921B is the Dutch band "Outsiders", not the American band.
Thanks for a great site!
Oops. I didn't check the tune before adding it to the compiltion - sorry. Error corrected and many thanks for finding.
I just checked 67.62, track 921B and it is the same song I think. Here's a video link to the American Outsiders song I Will Love You: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pFdR-K0k0ko.
Hi Professor in case if you missed ?
https://revolutionrock013.blogspot.com/2019/12/billboard-top-rocknroll-hits.html
I was doing some song searching in the Billboard top 100 and bu of the 60's,
I couldn't find the song Quick Joey Small(run Joey Run)-Kasenetz-Katz Singing Orchestral Circus i noticed the flip side Down In Tennessee is there, it peaked at #25 in 1968
Oops again. Evidently a bad luck track. Now, it should be correct. I have boths songs in my resources and I have selected initially I would love you instead of I will love you, both by The Outsiders, one US group another Dutch group. Sorry.
I didn't visit this site before. This site offers Billboard Top Rock'n'Roll Hits - very subjective selection, and A-sides. There is another site/forum (Dusty's Old Gold Music) that offers all A-sides, some of them in poor quality, some are mistaken. Generally, I don't intend to compete with any blogger, we should rather help each other. I'm including also B-sides, some of them, if not majority, are real gems. I'm trying to select best copies, practically every track is remastered by iZotope RX7. From my experience, rips of 99% of tracks, CD, or YouTube, or... are messy (fade in/out and normalization as the minumum). Tagging is messy in 99.99%.
Wow, wow, wow. You've found omission in my project. I'm extremely grateful for that. I knew it must happen. I will repair this error immediately, add both Quick Joey Small and the flip Mr. Jensen, (Poor Old)
Thank You much was putting together a playlist when i noticed it very kind of you for this awesome project
Thank you for your answer !
hello from Montpellier France ! MERCI !

Thanks for this unique project Prof! Just some corrections as far as I'm concerned. Billboard 1960's Pop Part 60.37 Nr. 548A The Blue Diamonds - Ramona on your files is the German version of their hit. A million seller in Europe, but the US-version is in English. Included in this message a link to a 160 file.
The Blue Diamonds - 2 guys from Indonesia that had to come to Holland with their parents after WOII in 1949. Some 10 years later one of the first Dutch acts to break to the BB-charts!!

I'm extremely grateful for finding both bugs. Pop, R&B, Country, Adult Contemporary 1940-1969, As & Bs, give around 40 000 tracks! Then, some bugs are inevitable, however it is not my excuse. Then, your help is priceless. Many thanks.
There'll always be bugs or points of discussion. Nobody's perfect!! There's only one word that fits your project: A Treasure Trove!
Many thanks Sam. I need such words of acceptance. I've just purchased some 200 (two hundred) 45 vinyls of missing tracks - cost me a fortune, but each hobby needs expenses. So, in the near future, after the ripping process is completed, I will add these missing tracks to the already posted instalments.
Catching up with 1964. I'm not sure, but I think what you have for A Hard Day's Night by George Martin is the Peter Sellers version, which George Martin orchestrated, but I don't think it's the same version released on the United Artists soundtrack LP and single.
Many many thanks Mike. Yes, it was my mistake. Corrected also corrected fade in/out and normalization of all tracks of this Part and added pass: Part 64.49. After completing Country 1968 & 1969, I will start correction of all previously posted parts!

Hi Professor, I am both Suzanne and Tashi, sorry I did not mean to use 2 different Google sign-ons! I will keep looking for your missing tunes but I don't want to reactivate my Facebook account because I had some unpleasant experiences with it. Hope all is well with you and all on this blog. These collections have historical import.
So you are turning this project into an elitist only venture? If someone doesn't offer to give you new songs, then they're not eligible to download your updates? You're just going to take your ball and go home? Hey, I appreciate all that you have done here, but extortion is never a good thing. I have improvements to offer, but when I am ready. I don't live at your blog. I go through each song for quality and accuracy, but it's not all that I do. I truly thought this to be a remarkable project, but your new business model is not the way to get what you want. It's your site, you are free to do as you wish, I'm not yet a contributor, but now I won't be.
I'm not “turning this project into an elitist only venture” but I have to block it to anonymous downloaders only. Active Visitors are Visitors who help me to improve the Project or at least send me words of support, two words: "Thank you", is enough. I didn't receive such comment from you so far.
You said: “your new business model is not the way to get what you want”. I have spent thousands of dollars on my collection, only in February I have spent 4000$ on vinyls. After three months of activity the total donation is 50 (fifty)$ and you call it a business? If you want take you have to give something in return, help in improvement the project has a priority and donation is the last option.
I was wondering if i could get the Password , If not i totally understand , Thanks for all your hard work.
"Unknown": Shame on you!
Where can I find this contact-field,Doc? Sorry for this question.But you must understand,that I was visually impaired. (Makula at the end .... :(
Top right. It looks that I have already invited you to Let The Good Times Roll Group. It is enough to accept invitation, to get there and find passes.
Hi Professor,Thank you for the music and work and time you give to us.
If you see fit to give me a password i would be grateful,Thanks
Shame on me Jerry? I have spent tens of thousands of dollars on my collection, and although I am not sharing this collection on my blog, I share many other things and out of an average of over 1000 downloads each, you may get 10-15 thank you's. I haven't made them only available to those who do. Very few people do. And those who do usually aren't around long. Everyone has the right to do as they wish. I acknowledged the great work that was put in, and I thought it was an awesome project. I am pretty sure that I have thanked you with an actual name, but this message came out as anonymous even though I had a name beside "Reply as". At this point, I guess that I will opt out, and no one will miss me. Not everyone comes to the first page on the first visit. Hopefully they won't download 42 parts only to find out they can't download part 43. Thanks for what I HAVE downloaded, I think it is an important entry for Whitburn collectors. I just hope there aren't more than 60 of them out there.
To get passes, please contact me via Contact field or/and join The Club on Facebook - address above
Rare18 link is wrong. It links to same as Rare19
Hello Professor, thanks for your qucik answere.
Great work you are doing here.
Once I find a missing track I am pleased to forward it to your blog.
Greatings Nobby
Thanks for the Rare tracks very cool The same thing with me rare 18 link goes to rare 19 link instead thanks
Thank you for continuing the RAR department. Unfortunately Ihad the same problem with missing No.18 archive
Pobably, I have zipped Rare 19 twice. I have re-zipped these two files, such that links are the same but content is different. Please report if the error dosn't disapper. It will be very difficult to find even a single missing track from the last 100 (0.03%). Your work is to find wrong tracks - I'm sure that they still exist, also tracks with a poor quality. Thanks in advance.
Thanks for all the Rare Singles Collection! Unfortunately Link for Part 18 is missing, 'cause it's the same as for Part 19!
Re: Parts 18 and 19. Links are the same and content is the same (19.01A to 19.15B). No content for Part 18. Thanks.
Please note that I’m not sharing CD’s from my collection (some 30 000 CDs). Bloggers who share CDs compiled by others, together with an artwork, are simply violating IP and do not deserve thank you. Moreover, majority of them share CDs just to earn money from a file sharing cloud they are using. I’m using Google cloud and have to pay for that. I have spent thousands of hours remastering, ripping, arranging the compilations and I expect “thank you” for my work, to be sure that my work is not going in vain.
A feedback from fans of ProfRnR/Let The Good Times Roll exceeded my expectation. Thanks a lot and please forgive me if I didn’t response to your Facebook message* or message sent via contact field.** If it is a case, please repeat.

I hope you are well. I am in lock-down as is most of the world. But this has given me time to peruse your incredible collections. I hope for the best. Take care.
Hello ProfRnR,
I was looking in you open mp3 list and found Bill Boyd
Home Coming Waltz.
There was a release in 1941 and in 1947.
On Cattle and BACM was the date 1941. It's the Bluebird label.
I've a RCA mp3 downloaded with bad quality, but found, it's
the same original song.
On Wikipeda I read , that the Bluebird label is a
a lower-priced RCA Victor subsidiary label.
Wikipedia says
After World War II, the Bluebird label was retired and its previously
released titles were reissued on the standard RCA Victor label.
So I thinks its the same song.
Here I have the Infos and the songs.
BACM has the same speed as the RCA mp3. Compare it.
When you've other Informations, tell me.
Rolf

Many many thanks Rolf. Yes, I know the story with Bluebird, RCA. Yes, BACM copy is the copy that we are looking for, good quality. Two other copies are also originals but poor quality. lemonflag, you and many others that send me words of support via Contact field or via Facebook are creators of this project - thank you all.
Many thanks for your kind words - see my reply to Rolf. I live in the hermitage, located in the forest where only beavers and squirrels are my neighbours. But today's situation is something from Sci-Fi movies. People are dying and I'm still enjoying Oldies passion. But in a hard times, if you can't help, you should at least improve your mood and others mood at the same time and that's what I'm doing. Mail is not working, delivery of ordered 45s will be delayed two months at least, but this don't really matters today. Take care.

Anita Kerr - The ever Constant Sea.
I do not have the B side.
I didn't know that I needed a password, but if I do, I hope this qualifies for entrance into the secret society.
Sorry, but this is not Anita Kerr Singers version, Warner 7010, 2:47. This version is by The San Sebastian Strings, also recorded in 1967, from The Sea LP. Both missing tracks are bonus tracks of Slightly Baroque CD, Japanese release. Sold out, but I've managed to find used, it cost more than the total donation so far (this remark is addressed to Mister Unknown)!
Hello Professor,
I hope you are staying well. Haven't seen any posts on Twilightzone in a while, so I thought I would check in.
I have contributed a few songs in the past. Sorry if the quality was not up to your standards, but I put a lot of time into it and did the best I was able to with the equipment I have. I will attempt to upgrade it when things get back to "normal" and Guitar Center and other shops are open.
Meanwhile, may I have the password to open your new posts?
Thanks again,
tsi&hrjs
You are the member of the Club, thanks for cooperation so far. Please contact me via Contact Field of via Facebook such that I can pass you link to table with passes.
Thank You......
Hi it's dusty ( Old gold Music ) Hope Your New ide with a member list will pay of and you will get some of the missing tunes, knowing that you still missing 20.ooo / 30.000 so it's a looong way ( it's just like to collect stamps.. you always just miss 1 or 2 to have them all But when you got them all.. it's no fun anymore )
I'm working on the Whitburn Bubbling under from the 1990's now .. but got stuck on the 1996, Do you know any places or link to look ? Hope to "see" you on Old Gold Music
Dusty
If I understand the spreadsheet corredctly you are missing
1. A004A.1966. Vikki Carr - Until Today
2. A012B.1966. Kay Starr - Old Records
If I misinterpreted the spreadsheet please no negative comments!
I just need to know how To send it to you.
THnaks in advance.
Hi Prof,
Going through 1965 I noticed the Chad & Jeremy song "What Do You Want With Me" has strings on it. I believe that is a LP version and the original Ember UK / World Artists US singles did not have the strings. Cheers.
I have both tracks. Probably you have an old spreadsheet. I'm updating it constantly, so please check/download the updated version - click link "missing", in green. Thank you for your comment, each comment is very valuable for me.
Hi Mike, ??? I have two versions of this song, one is LP Version and the other one is Alternate Version, and both have strings. The Best Of and other compilations that I have, have LP Version. I have found other, nice compilation: rpm, complete Ember/WA and the Single Version is there. Ordered, in Polish shop, should arrive in few days. Thank you and hats off, this error, if error, was very very difficult to detect.
I was trying to sort it out myself. I found a video of the World Artists single on youtube and it was the "no strings" version. Actually it has strings but they are almost buried in the mix. Personally, I don't much care but I know you strive to get the actual recordings that appeared on the single releases.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HkhU4dM6l4I
Yes Mike, I strive to get the actual recordings. It is the sense of this project. Complete Ember/WA 2CD that I've ordered appeared to be sold out. Fortunately, I managed to get mp3 copy of this set, with mono versions of all singles. For "What Do You Want With Me", the difference is difficult to distinguish but there is. Again Mike, many thanks and hats off.
I have a few different copies of the World Artists version. This is the best sounding one: https://we.tl/t-e9nfe2seud
Appreciate your gigantic efforts here and thank you very much for them.
Hi Prof,
Working through 1964 Country, here are two songs you may find to be upgrades.
Cheers.
https://we.tl/t-7vf6NsZb4B
Hello, Professor,
I found this, only 128 K, surfing on Soul Seek, so I'm not sure if it's the right one, hope you or somebody else can check this: Max Frost - The Max Frost Theme:
https://www68.zippyshare.com/v/u1H9Slqe/file.html
I've found Lillian Offitt(pop 1957) and The Upbeats (Pop 1958) but they're out of the list now, I think you got them too.
Thanks for your great job!
Can you reupload the upgrades. I've been so busy with Italian music that I didn't check comments.
Thanks for your kind words. What regards the missing tracks, bit rate is meaningless, 128 is fair enough. I have ordered Max Frost single, more than a month ago, but all packages from US and Canada are blocked somewhere, I'm awaiting some 30 packages! I have both tracks downloaded from YouTube. If you have other (better) copies, please send them.
Thanks Professor RnR for your time and effort in this fabulous year 1950. Let the good times roll again!
Cheers.
Many thanks for your kind words. I need them much more than donation!!!
I don't know if i'm missing something or not, but when i was looking for a song i couldn't find it. The song is Younger Girl by The Critters it was number 42 in 1966. Here is a link for it if you don't have it and if it's not in your 1966 Billboard hits Thanks for this great blog
https://www21.zippyshare.com/v/WOCTHDJ9/file.html
Unbelievable, but you are right. This single disappeared from my spreadsheet somehow and this is the first such single detected so far!!! Many many thanks and please accept my appreciation.
Track-list corrected. Now I will have to move by one all entries from 394 to the last one, i.e. correct more than 30 parts. I'm remastering all parts anyway.
Thanks for all, nice collections, very nice! One question: The links for EL 65.01, EL66.02, EL 68.02 and EL 68.05 for the Top 40 Easy Listening 1965-1969 Collection are not ready or not active? Please can you fix or reupload, if possible, this would be nice? Thanks again for your work!
Kane's Cousins - Support Your Local Bands: www90.zippyshare.com/v/24DMKnvF/file.html
This 45 is not missing, I have the original 45. I have ripped around 600 45s already but didn't update all posted files yet. To check whether a track is really missing please check the updated wish-list - link above.
Al Trace & The Revelers - "Duluth M-I-Double-N" https://www72.zippyshare.com/v/1HWFo9nb/file.html
I have this YouTube copy. It's quality is very poor, below standards of the Project. Anyway, thanks for your effort.
Dear Professor RnR,Thanks for the Billboard 1945 Top 20 a's & B's. A monumental labour of love and superb achievement. Please give my humble blog a visit if you've any spare time!. Regards, Bob
Hallo Professor!!
Here is a link to the missing song on the Easy Listening compilation EL67.02
A67.27A Anita Kerr Singers - One In A Row
https://www24.zippyshare.com/v/ks3p06W2/file.html
It's the promo edition on Warner Bros. #7010 from '67 but I think this will do cause checking the B-Side of that promo 'The Ever Constant Sea' gives totally the same song as on your file.
Thanks again for al the good work
Also wanna say that your posting "A67.27C Anita Kerr - The Ever Constant Sea" is the Anita Kerr Singers , and not the San Sebastian Strings as noticed in the Tags.
The Anita Kerr version takes about 2'40"(with vocals) and the San Sebastian Strings only 2 minutes and no vocals. (San Sebastian Strings are a studio orchestra in collaboration with Anita Kerr and Rod McKuen from the 1960s)
I hereby give the link for the San Sebastian Strings-version from the 1990 US reissue on Warner Bros. Records – 1670-2
https://www108.zippyshare.com/v/pJKzQSNi/file.html
Grts & keep up the good work
Hallo Professor
On the R&B 66.01 file there is B02B The Entertainers IV - Shake, Shake, Shake (missing).
That file stands on your posting of "Rare Singles >>> 10.13B The Entertainers IV - Shake, Shake, Shake (with crackling)
I got a slightly better version without cracklin' on 128kb which I put in the zip-file too. There are two different releases on Dore #749 (both '66 US) One as "The Entertainers IIII" and the other as "The Entertainers IV" Both scans also in the zip-file.
https://www109.zippyshare.com/v/mh865Gm7/file.html
Grts, Thanks and keep up the good work.
Hallo again.
I see on R&B 61.01 there is a track missing >>>> B07B Arthur Prysock - Speak To Me (missing)
Hereby the link with song and labelscans (song in 192kb)
https://www23.zippyshare.com/v/am9xVRQp/file.html
Grts & Thanks for all the great work
Another missing song found (I hope so!!)
"B04B Arthur Prysock - A Man Ain't Supposed To Cry" missing on R&b 52.01
Here's the link for the song.
https://www29.zippyshare.com/v/a7mDyiS3/file.html
This is the version coming from the LP "Strictly Sentimental" (Decca 3DL 4581 - '65)
On that LP they say this is a compilation of original recordings from 1951 to 1953 from Arthur Prysock
Grts and keep up the good work!!
Sorry for my late reply. Blogger blocks all comments above 200 and I had to delete some to see your comments. I have original Anita Kerr 45. Side-A is the same as that you've sent. Side-B is different from that previously added - same time but different content, please check.
The version from Rare Singles is my rip from original 45 and I can't hear any crackling??? I have compared both copies and in my subjective opinion rip from original 45, remastered by iZotope RX7 sounds better.
One big thank you is not enough. You've reduced my wishlist by two extremely rare Prysock's songs. Both fantastic quality, i.e. clean sound, bit rate is meaningless. I've been looking for Anita Kerr 45 last few years. Finally, I found it in Internet and purchased and you've sent me this track at the same time. Nevertheless, B-side from my 45 is different than that previously posted, erronously tagged. Did you check quality of my rip of Entertainers IV, posted on Rare Singles or that posted under RB - I didn't replace it yet. I also love Belgian Popcorn. Thanks and please continue helping me in reducing the wishlist.
I have changed the setting and now can see comments 200+, don't have to delete previous - they are very precious to me.
Both Prysock's are taken from LPs. 1951 seems to be the same as 45, 1961 is from 1966 LP unfortunately remastered in stereo but also seems to be the original 1961 recording.
I use Twilight Zone a lot for downloads. On August 8 I saw that Billboard 1956 Part 56.25 was revised & upgraded and showed the password for it, however once it was downloaded it didn't need the password to extract. Is the song (Sammy Davis Jr. - Never Like This) still missing. Love what your doing. Keep up the good work
My mistake. I didn't replace an old file by the updated and remastered one. Sammy Davis is not missing. Now should be OK. Many thanks for finding this mistake.
Hello Professor R&R
I've really a problem with the original -Sail along silv'ry moon-
from 1957
I had it on my old tape and didn't know where I've taped it.
But to say this, I love this version and thought always, it's the
original hit.
There were a lot of CDs on the market and in only one so far
I found this version again on
--The Best of Billy Vaughn-- 50 Original Hits on 2 CD
This CD is also on discog with some explaination at the end, that
says these are all Billboard Hot 100 chart entries including ------
There are other CDs where the Compilator says, they are all
original hits.
Listen to that song that I always listen to. I love it. But it's my taste.
https://we.tl/t-w2AZmAKpPC
Maybe you have some more info than me.
https://www.discogs.com/Billy-Vaughn-The-Best-Of-Billy-Vaughn-His-Orchestra/release/5306105
Hello Prof,
I did leave this message for you on Twilight Zone yesterday, but I'm not sure if you read them there, so please excuse me repeating it here:
Thanks as always for another instalment of your mammoth compilation of the Billboard charts. I'm afraid there's something wrong with today's file for part 57.26 which does not respond to the password. I tried re-downloading it direct from your blog site, but that has the same file affected with the same problem. Perhaps you could kindly look into this and repost?
Incidentally, if you are still looking for a missing flipside of a 1962 Virtues single Guitar Boogie Shuffle Twist/Guitar Boogie Stomp, I do have that disc but no way of digitizing it (no working turntable). I would gladly post the single to you by way of thanks for all your work and expense but I'd need to contact you privately for your postal address and could find no way of doing that when I looked at the time when you asked about it. Let me know if you still need it.
I downloaded Part 57.26 of Hot 100 Hits of the 50's - 1957 and when I enter the password “Part 57.26”. I get this message: “The specified password is incorrect”. It first happened when I tried do dl from Twilightzone and now also from your blog.
I've dl a lot during the years and this has never happended before.
Correct please.
//Roffe
Hi, thanks for these great artists and songs you provide.
There's something wrong with Part 57.26 in Hot 100 Hits of the 50's - 1957
Part 57.26 doesn’t work as a password. I get an error message:
I would be very grateful if you can fix it?
//Roffe
Corrected few days ago, please confirm - I'm not able to check/change a pass, then I've reuploaded the file.
Sorry for my late reply Rolf - I've missed your comment. I have some 20 CDs by Billy Vaughn and up to my knowledge he didn't re-record his hits. I also love Billy Vaughn and can recommend Bear Family Box (recently on sale) - BF tracks are taken from masters and they are original recordings 100%.
George (ProfRnR)
Hi, I guess Track 816A of Hot 100 & BU Hits of the 60's - 1966 Part 55 is a wrong version. Sounds like a song of the 7o's - Bonnie Pointer Version from 1978?
https://youtu.be/bp9JcM4Gc2E on 45cat https://www.45cat.com/record/vip25037 sounds
more like the 60's
Wow, wow, wow. I didn't check this track, mea culpa. Corrected, file updated and remastered, pass added (Part 66.55). Many many thanks for finding this error.
Hello Prof,
Sorry to bother you over a password again, but part 61.19 is refusing to unzip without one.
Once again, many thanks for all your ongoing work on expanding the project.
Yes, this file has different pass. Please contact me, via the contact window and I will send you a link to the spreadsheet with passes.
Hello George
What a magnificent effort - so good to hear some of my favourite tracks from the past. Can you please send password details
Thanks in advance and keep yup the good work
jimtwangy
Please contact me, via the contact box, and I'll send you the link to spreadsheet with passes. Symbolic donation is the other option, as it gives e-mail address of the donor. Also, you can join Facebook group to get this link.
Got a question about Part 59.25. Has it been remastered? Downloaded it from Twilight Zone And Let The Good Times Roll. Didn't ask for the required password.
Many thanks Professor RnR for all those 50s sound on TZ. Now I can hear only 50s music tunes & can't get banished from my mind!😊😁😉
Thank you for time and effort for all this fabulous tunes!
Ciao!
Many, many thanks. I need such words of support, I need to know that my work is not going in vain.
Happy New Year... thanx for all you hard work on these great projects! I found you via TZ and shared your 50's work with my dad who enjoyed the memories!
Prof, George,
This is quite another undertaking, and I Thank You for your work. Looking forward to enjoying some great music.
I, too, do not see a password for your site. May I ask for help here?
Best - l'il ron
You can find the pass on the spreadsheet with passes, rightmost column. If you don't have a link to this spreadsheet, please read the top message. There are two ways of contacting me: 1. Contact Field, 2. Facebook
Thanks Prof. for the Billboard Easy Listening collection. Some nice tunes hidden away in there. Cheers!
https://mega.nz/file/614HCZDS#KMEUPcSpC2sVX7ywjJGyVZRkoGBI37sfxZlp-lobwik
Here are some mp3 of obscure 45s. I don't know if they ever charted but I figured you might want them if you don't have them. I hope that this qualifies me for the secret password.
I have the pre-1940 Pop Memories years from the Joel Whitburn Usenet collection, the Archeophone Records Phonographic Yearbooks and the ASV Living Era Hits of volumes if you want to create a collection out of them.
Missing track, Sam Donahue Why Did It Have to End So Soon: https://archive.org/details/78_why-did-it-have-to-end-so-soon_sam-donahue-and-his-orchestra-bill-lockwood-symes-ro_gbia0289180a
May I please have the passes?
@ Justin
1. I have the pre-1940 Pop Memories years from the Joel Whitburn but do not plan to start the 30s, have some other plans: 1) finish the 70s, 2) Deutsche Hit Parade, 3) Dutch and Belgium Parades and first of all, continuation of Lost Brit Artists.
2. Thanks for the missing track, more on Fb
@tkeys47
I didn't update the file. Corrected (updated).
Hi Prof, I have the password spreadsheet, but it only goes up to 1963. I've been able to figure out the PW since then until 1972 Part 2.
I can not contact on FB. I do not have an account and never will have one.
Thanks for your hard work.
Cheers.
Dear Professor RnR,
I want to let you know there's a error in Billboard 1964 Part 06. The song of The Caravelles - "Gonna Get Along Without You Now" only released as the B-side on the Decca in the UK. The correct B-side on the US Smash release is the song "Don't Blow Your Cool".
Best wishes.
@TheSingleGuy45
Great, big big thank you for finding this error, difficult to find error!!! The correct US flip has been added.
Hi Professor
I have found many of your charts on Twilightzone, but many require passwords
I'm hoping you could share the passwords.
If not I understand
Regards
Terry
Hi Terry,
Passes to all files posted on TZ are given there too. If you want passes to other files, then please contact me via the Contact Field or Facebook.
Professor,
The password (U29.10.21) provided for
Billboard 1965 Part 62 does not work.
I received a "wrong password message".
Could you please check on it.
And thanks immensely for the series.
Dear Professor RnR,
A huge thank to you for all your work here and on the twilightzone. This time I was listining to the year 1967 and found an error in part 24. The track "Love Song" by The Artistics is actually an album stereo version and the duration of the original single version is 2:52. Also the b side "I'll Always Love You" is a stereo version which is normally mono on single. I hope you have the right versions, if not, maybe I can help you just let me know.
Best wishes to you.
Dear @TheSingleGuy45
Yes, both tracks are Album (S). Some 10% of tracks are Single Versions, different from Album (S). I’m trying to detect such Single Versions and add to the existing, already posted files, during the remastering process. This process is in progress. Today I have remastered Part 1966.57. I will start remastering 1967 soon and I will add The Artistics 45 versions then. Sometimes, I leave the stereo versions. In such a case, I check whether this is the 45 version, on CD booklet, on Internet. If I’m not certain, to be 100% sure that the version that I have is really the 45 version, I have to purchase the original vinyl. Today, I have ordered The Righteous Brothers - On This Side Of Goodbye / A Man Without A Dream. I have many versions of these songs, with different times, other than the label times?!
Thank you very much for your interest in the project and don’t hesitate to drop a line from time to time. The blog visitor’s feedback is essential to me.
Dear Professor RnR,
Here I give you a link to this 2 songs, so now you don't have to remaster or purchase this single. This 2 tracks are ripped right from the vinyl single in mono but not by myself. I hope you will enjoy it.
https://www88.zippyshare.com/v/tJMHdNya/file.html
And ofcourse you're doing a great job for all music lovers! So I say "keep on rocking".
Best wishes & a musical 2022 to you.
Dear TheSingleGuy45,
Thanks for The Artistics. I have YouTube copies. Your rips are perfect and I will use them soon, when remastering 1967. I don't have a wish-list of Single Edits as I'm discovering their existence from day to day. Fortunately they are available on Internet, reasonably priced.
Best wishes for 2022.
Hi Prof
Two things to say
I can't get the donate button to work in Internet Explorer. Not your fault but mine, I got through with Edge though
I didn't get an opportunity to add my email address to get on your active users list
prairiehick@gmail.com, can you allow me in please?
Thanks
I'm looking forward to gaining access to the great blog's treasure trove.
Thanks Prof
I got the email. It went to my Paypal addie. Thanks again.
Now let some good time music roll all over me!
Thanks for all the great work - I'm just starting but will help as I can!
Got a question. I See several tracks have a(S) out beside them. Are these the original 45's or other single versions. Just curious. This is a great project you are doing. Keep up the good work
(S) means Stereo, from original 45, if released in Stereo or Album track having the same edit as the original Mono - more info on the spreadsheet with links (bottom lines).
@dublinblue
Files are constantly updated (45 rips replace poor quality or Album tracks) and passes are also updated. Then, some passes from TZ comments are not actual. Please contact me, to get the new pass to 68.04.
Hi Professor, as a owner of the "Hit Bilanz - Deutsche Chart Singles" Books, I'm very interested in completing all tracks by listening to many obscure titles. Some of those tracks are missing in my collection. Therefore it's great that you offer all these tracks for downloading.
Last but not least thanks for your reply to my yesterday's email.
Greetings bigdee
Can you do extend the Billboard "Hot 100 and BU" charts through the seventies and eighties.
1979 yes, soon to come. I do not plan 1980s. Greatest Hits of the 1980s are commonly available (YouTube, CD). Then, perhaps, only uncharted rarities.
I have made a donation via Pay Pall today. How can i get the pasword now?
I've collected a good share of 60s/70s Soul and I have to say that the 1969 Billboard R&B set is one of the greatest collections I've ever heard. It's amazing how these random records connected only by a chart can contain so many fantastic, little-heard songs. The rest of them are great but, for some reason, these 1969 songs stand out more than the others. Thanks for putting so much work into making this music available.
@LeeVanCleef
Many thanks. Yes, there are many gems in hits that Bubbled Under, entered other charts or did not enter any chart. Discovering such gems gives lots of pleasure and satisfaction.
