Go back to 1960, and you find Shelley Berman and Bob Newhart comedy albums among the pop "top ten"...no clear idea how corrupt those listings were (by the standards of most bestseller lists, such as the NEW YORK TIMES, where the books the TIMES and publishers Want to be on the list are, but it's safe to bet they're pretty corrupted.Todd Masonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01815516018079824802noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8525415828746712027.post-37282397829952115022015-12-07T15:18:10.196-05:002015-12-07T15:18:10.196-05:00One time or another, I have owned 5 of those--Beat...One time or another, I have owned 5 of those--Beatles VI, My Name Is Barbra, Mr. Tambourine Man, Rolling Stones Now, & Bringing It All Back Home.

Though I forgot to mention or count GETZ/GILBERTO a moment ago answering there...the ones I definitely have in these formats are also the Byrds, Stones, Dylan, Franklin, and arguably the later expansion of the Miracles...and I certainly have almost all if not all the Cooke songs and most of the Coles in other packages, as well, among the other reshuffles mentioned there (and the Bach Guild release of the Bach pieces).Todd Masonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01815516018079824802noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8525415828746712027.post-11399445196589165252015-12-07T08:13:36.148-05:002015-12-07T08:13:36.148-05:00Cool post.
