Obscure American Artists 1956-1963 (discogs) Cash Box Looking Ahead 1959-1963

The turn of the 1950s and 1960s was a breaking point in the history of pop music, golden age of rockabilly, teen pop and doo wop. In 1959, Billboard BU has been launched and extended the number of chart entries, Cash Box, Music Vendor and Regional Charts (Gavin, Breakout, Territorial) added many other entries. Nevertheless, many “good” Artists from American music scene didn’t enter any chart and they are worth to be saved from obscurity. Discographies of Artists that recorded between 1956 (beginning of RnR) and 1963 (year preceding British Invasion), one or few singles*, create Parts divided into five categories
·         Rock(abilly) & Country
·         Instrumental
·         Doo-Wop & Vocal Group Harmony
·         Teen Pop
·         Popcorn (All Others)
and denoted as Xnn:  X=,R,Q,V,T,PFor many Artists, categorization is fuzzy!!!
* If discography spans beyond this period, then selected earlier/later recordings can be taken into account as bonus tacks

Singles of all obscure Artists are hard to find, they are not available on Internet Marketplace or they are overpriced. I managed to buy many (around 1000) rare singles but the number of missing tracks is still significant. Please help me to reduce this number.
 Missing updated 18.04.2024

Having a pleasure in listening old and obscure tunes is more important than collecting. Sound quality of majority of YouTube rips also many tracks from CD compilations is very poor and I can’t see any pleasure in listening such distorted music, it is the same as watching a beautiful picture through a blurring glass. Making a good rip is very simple, modern (produced in the XXI century) turntable and Audacity (freeware) is all that you need. I have prepared  Vinyl-to-PC (Tutorial) - please follow the guidelines.

Popcorn category has been extracted. This style, established in the 1970s,  includes a wide variety of American obscure recordings of pop-soul music made between the late 1950s and early 1960s. This category includes everything that do not fall into the primary four categories. e.g. Soul (early Northern Soul), (Rhythm &) Blues, AC, Exotica, Novelty.
Booklets with Artist biographies, if available, are attached. Primary references: Discogs, 45cat and

Project Description, Terms of Participation

The Music Part of the blog has been launched in Oct. 2018. Initially, Billboard Hot 100 (up to 1969) files were posted. Then, other charts, other thematic sections have been added. List of all sections (subsections), with links, can be found in “Content” post.

In the first 1.5 years, t
housands
 of anonymous downloaders and less than 100 Active Followers, Project Supporters. Therefore, from Spring 2020, passes are added to all files and

passes* are visible to Active Followers only
Creation of the Let The Good Times Roll Club, the Society that shares the same passion, was my goal. My reflections after five years can be found here

You may apply to the Club, by supporting the blog
directly, by finding
or indirectly, by making a donation**   
PayPal , 1$=4.5PLN, e.g. 20$=90PLN (average gross cost of one 45)

 You can  contact me via Contact Form (preferred) or Facebook,
"what is the pass" request will be unanswered!

* sheet with passes consists not only the library of passes but, first of all, the register of all already posted files, documentation of all updates.

Google Drive cloud is used: 1. not banned worldwide, 2. updates are uploaded automatically, 3. no pop-ups, 4. no Time2Delete – no need for re-ups, 
all links are active as long as I'm paying for the Google cloud.

Sound quality is essential = no mic rips(1)  , no poor YouTube

(1)  Sharing music recorded by a camera mic (mobile or other) is murdering of the music.

>50% from the original 45s, >10% from my record collection

Every single track is remastered (2), iZotope RX7 licenced software and Audacity freeware are applied. Tagging: 1. Title, 2. Artist, 3. Album, 4. Publisher, 5. Copyright, 6. Comment, 7. www, 8. Cover
(2) remastering = fixing any shortcomings of the ripped vinyl or the transferred CD track (de-click, de-noise, normalization, intro/outro silence). The frequency spectrum is not "improved", it remains unchanged, as the norm.

---------------------------------------------------------------------  
** Instead of donation (indirect support), you can buy missing 45, rip it (or buy mp3) and send mp3 to me and this is the preferred (direct) way of support.
