Let me clear up any speculation about "City of Angels." For a prior ERIC release where "City of Angels" did not make the cut, Bob Hyde at Capitol/EMI Music Special Markets sent me a digital dub of the tape used on the 1961 Liberty LP. This is the source I used on the Hit Parade release, and I felt it would be the best we'd find. When foreign labels outside of North America would request domestic masters, often they were supplied with a commercial record and told to use that. Consequently, I'm not likely to trust foreign sources of late 50s to early 60s American recordings.]]> Thu, 21 Jan 2010 18:19:31 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1703&PID=24956&title=new-hit-parade-eric-releases#24956 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1703&PID=21216&title=new-hit-parade-eric-releases#21216 Author: Santi Paradoa

Just got these two new releases. There are at least three tracks that had never been released prior (domestically), plus its great to finally get the true single version of Sam Cooke's "Lonely Island." Every song sounds wonderful. The new mix of Doris Day's "Everybody Loves a Lover" sounds closer to the 45 than the previous stereo version on the Eric release Hard To Find 45's On CD, Vol. 3. I'm sure Pat will be posting his review soon.]]> Mon, 23 Feb 2009 13:33:52 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1703&PID=21216&title=new-hit-parade-eric-releases#21216 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1703&PID=20259&title=new-hit-parade-eric-releases#20259 Author: Todd Ireland

I think the exception for Hit Parade is that it is distributed in the US exclusively by ERIC records and the mastering is entirely done in the US and for all practical purposes, except for copyright reasons, it is a US release. Of course it would be nice to see Pat include all "North America" releases which would include Canadian cds....]]> Wed, 07 Feb 2007 15:04:11 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1703&PID=8811&title=new-hit-parade-eric-releases#8811 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1703&PID=8810&title=new-hit-parade-eric-releases#8810 Author: Paul C

I finally got my copy today and it has the sound quality we've come to expect from anything involving Tom Daly. The only song that sounds like it may have made a trip through vinyl somewhere is Tony Bennett's "From The Candy Store On The Corner To The Chapel On The Hill". (I read an interview with Bennett a while back in which he stated his dislike for many of the mid-50's singles Mitch Miller made him record, which may explain the non-availability of many of them on CD.)

Pat, I see that you've included this CD in the database (and even reviewed it) along with the other Hit Parade releases. Is this an exception to the U.S. only rule? The CD is made in Canada and has a Canadian address (on Taunton Road in Oshawa, Ontario, which means that I must have driven by it this morning!) Hit Parade seems to be even less of a U.S. label than Madacy, which is headquartered in Montreal but has 'branches' in California, New Jersey, Minnesota, and Texas.]]> Wed, 07 Feb 2007 12:21:07 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1703&PID=8810&title=new-hit-parade-eric-releases#8810 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1703&PID=8641&title=new-hit-parade-eric-releases#8641 Author: TomDiehl1

But, since the cd is NOT an "ERIC" release....they likely went with the already on cd source for City Of Angels, from the ACE cd, which is likely from a UK Master tape. Why bother getting a tape from the US ? Licensing fees would have to be paid on it then......go back and read what I said, i said ANY vinyl dubs, not specifying any particular songs.]]> Sat, 27 Jan 2007 17:53:59 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1703&PID=8641&title=new-hit-parade-eric-releases#8641 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1703&PID=8624&title=new-hit-parade-eric-releases#8624 Author: Gary Mack

The Eric Records website (www.ericrecords.com) describes this CD as "audiophile quality" and "digitally remastered for highest quality sound". I know this could just be P.R. spin by the website, but Eric does have a great reputation for releasing and being associated with excellent sounding products.
