Vinyl Record News & Music Notes

Top 5 eBay Vinyl Record ~ Sales Week Ending 10/22/2011

A "Please Please Me" getting the top spot has become about as common as VP Joe Biden saying something that would have had your mother call out to you to run and get your grandfather's medication. The real story this week is that for the first time since the last time someone dropped $25k on a diamond braclet infused Ice Cream Sundae at Serendipity 3, a prevously unknown Soul 45 topped $5k on an audio clip alone - no holy grail status, no spot in Keb Darge's playlist - just the clip in the eBay ad. The Emeralds 45 is a Chicago uptempo dancer that got bidders as excited as they can get. By comparison, the De-Lite's acetate, a known entity with holy grail status (don't know if it's on Keb Darge's playlist but many DJs spin it) gets the #5 spot.

1. LP - The Beatles "Please Please Me" Parlophone UK STEREO black & gold label matrix 1R/1G Dick James credits - $12,932.23

2. 45 - The Emeralds "Catch Me I'm Falling" / "Beware" Vick 302 - $7,199.00

3. LP - Pink Floyd "More" Odeon First Pressing - $4,999.99

4. LP - Leonid Kogan "Beethoven Violin Concerto" Columbia 1052 UK Pressing - $4,943.88

5. 10" - De-Lites "Lover" / "Tell Me Why" Acetate - $3,500.00

Ultimate Hits: Rock And Roll Never Forgets Bob Seger Collection Coming In November

Capitol/EMI has scheduled a November 21st release date for a new double disc/career-spanning 2CD set Bob Seger collection called 'Ultimate Hits: Rock And Roll Never Forgets.' The 26-track collection includes "Night Moves," "Turn The Page," "Hollywood Nights," "Mainstreet," "Old Time Rock And Roll," "Like A Rock," "Her Strut," "We've Got Tonight," "Against The Wind," "Still The Same," and many other Seger classics, as well as the Detroit rocker's two #1 radio singles from this year, "Downtown Train" and his current #1 Classic Rock hit, "Hey Hey Hey Hey (Going Back To Birmingham)."

The collection also includes Seger's rendition of the Holiday classic "Little Drummer Boy," its first appearance on a Bob Seger album, as well as the original mono version of Seger's first hit "Ramblin' Gamblin' Man." All songs on the album have been meticulously remastered from the original master tapes.

Bob Seger & The Silver Bullet Band return to the road throughout November and December for the second leg of their hugely successful 2011 North American Tour. The tour's upcoming stops include New York City's Madison Square Garden, Philadelphia's Wells Fargo Center, Los Angeles' Staples Center, Orlando Calling Festival (Seger's first festival performance since 1980), Baltimore's 1st Mariner Arena, Ottawa's Scotiabank Place, Dallas' American Airlines Center, Phoenix's US Airways Center, Oakland's Oracle Arena, and more. Seger will top off 2011 with his 50th concert of the year, a special New Year's show at Las Vegas' Mandalay Bay Events Center. Seger originally conceived his 2011 Tour as a short spring run of 18-20 dates. Due to the overwhelming response from fans, Seger nearly tripled the number of shows.

On September 13, Seger offered fans a Free 6-Track Bonus EP on iTunes to celebrate the release of the digitally remastered multi-platinum Nine Tonight and Live Bullet concert albums. During the one week promotion, Seger gave his fans 1,698,000 free downloaded tracks. Seger & his Silver Bullet Band's live performances have led to record sales in excess of 51 million including 11 platinum and seven multi-platinum RIAA-certified album awards. Seger holds the distinction in 2010 for the #1 Catalog Album of the Decade for his Greatest Hits, which has sold over nine million copies (U.S.A.) to date, posting an unbroken 17-year streak on Billboard's Top 200 Albums and Catalog Albums charts.

Rolling Stones’ Some Girls Reissue Includes Newly Discovered Track

The upcoming re-issue of the Rolling Stones’ epic 1978 album, 'Some Girls,' will include a recently unearthed unreleased track that will also be issued as a single.

According to Reuters, producer Don Was discovered the recording, which was made by the Stones while they were working on 'Some Girls' in Paris. The song, “No Spare Parts,” features Mick Jagger on electric piano, Keith Richards on acoustic piano, Ron Wood on pedal steel guitar, Charlie Watts on drums and Bill Wyman on bass, according to Universal Republic Records. The label went on to say the recording was produced by engineer Chris Kimsey in early 1978, and that it features a “country guitar twang, subtle groove and soulful storytelling.”
