While browsing the Net today, I came across this CD on amazon:
Perry Como "Standards & Rarities Vol. 2: If I Could Be With You" a November 2014 release. The notes below state that the #19 b-side "Dance Only With Me" is in stereo. It also seems to have the original recording of "Ivy Rose", not yet listed as being on a US CD in the database. I managed to find MP3s of these and yes, Dance Only With Me is stereo and Ivy Rose is the original. This CD would be a key CD, if indeed my MP3s came from it, which I believe to be the case. However, the CD appears to be from the U.K., so the database will not need an update. ------------- dc1 |

dc was kind enough to forward me the two perry como tracks
missing from my collection for my review......and here's what i've come up with.......'ivy rose' issued as the b- side of rca victor 7050 with 'just born (to be your baby)' as the a-side lists a run time on the label as 3:04 but actually runs 3:05 and this file matches my vinyl 45 perfectly......'dance only with me' issued as the b-side of rca victor 7202 with 'kewpie doll' as the a-side lists a run time on the label as 2:46 but actually runs 2:47.....if you fold down the stereo version dc sent you can effectively re-create the mono 45 version..... thx dc!! ------------- edtop40 |

Aaron, Take note this top 40 Billboard hit from 1958 is not in the database. I do not know a CD it is actually on as I have numerous Perry Como comps and they don't have it. If anyone knows what CD either in the US or overseas kindly chime in. Thanks. I'm happy to take a stereo but would prefer the mono. Anything would be better then the quality I have right now.... I do have a digital copy from {1942-1962 Hits Collection} which appears lossless but the sound isn't as good as Como's other 1957-1959 recordings from the same period.... ------------- "I'm a pop archivist, not a chart philosopher, I seek to listen, observe and document the chart position of music." |

Rich, here are the two mp3s I discussed in my 2014 post. They sound fine. https://mega.nz/file/nMYn1Lyb#-UxgYR-hrNHPISRDmDBAEy5dxjaD4Hv3voqgF37zTuU" rel="nofollow - https://mega.nz/file/nMYn1Lyb#-UxgYR-hrNHPISRDmDBAEy5dxjaD4Hv3voqgF37zTuU ------------- dc1 |

David, Did you ever find out where your stereo "Dance Only with Me" actually came from? I do hear vinyl noise (although it is pretty clean). Do you have the stereo "Ivy Rose" to listen to? Thanks! Andy |

I came across the 1943-1962 collection from Acrobat online and the sound isn't the greatest. Haven't there been issues with collections from Acrobat in the past? ------------- John Gallagher Erie, PA https://www.johngallagher.com" rel="nofollow - John Gallagher Wedding & Special Event Entertainment / Snapblast Photo Booth |

That's the only place to find it John G in mono the 1943-1962 collection. Otherwise it has no digital CD footprint.... ------------- "I'm a pop archivist, not a chart philosopher, I seek to listen, observe and document the chart position of music." |

It's been 11 years and my notes show that the stereo "Dance Only With Me" came from the CD I mention, but I don't remember the specifics as to how I got the actual song - I didn't buy the actual CD myself. Ivy Rose is not stereo, only mono. ------------- dc1 |

The "Standards and Rarities" CD David refers to is on the UK Sepia label, which is a "gray-area" reissue label that uses shellac or vinyl for all its sources. So anything on the Sepia label is going to be taken from vinyl. |
