Joan Selects – Encore Appearance

A surprise Christmas present from Joan. We all thought that the “Joan Selects” series of compilations had finished, but by popular request here is a special encore appearance.

This time round Joan has been able to provide only a few label scans to accompany this cornucopia of vocal group vibes. The reason – the record collection is currently in storage. But that won’t get in the way of our enjoyment of this collection of rockers, pleaders, jivers and weepers. The mp3s have been ripped at bitrates from a low of 96 kbps to a mighty 320 kbps. Most are at around 128 kbps. The usual warning about clicks, pops, hissing and occasional distortion applies. But rough sound quality = real rock ‘n’ roll.

Thank you Joan, for coming out of retirement!

Recorded at various (lowish) bitrates. Password = greaseyspoon.

How great to find Be Bop Wino on the web once again!
Even better to receive an early Christmas gift from the lovely and talented Joan.
Can't wait for Encores volume 2.

Thanks!

Hi,
Thanks for continuing to share your amazing vinyl collection with us.
Just one thing...
The tracklist needs ammending, both on your post and in the 'TitleOut' file, because you have The Quarternotes track listed twice.
By my reckoning, 'Track 35' should be "How Can I Love You?" by The Swinging Hearts.
Perhaps you could alspo provide the release information for The Swinging Hearts (label, year, etc.) so we can all correct it.
Hope that helps.
Thanks again,

JJ

Thanks JJ. I've amended the tracklist on the post. I'll have to get in touch with Joan to see if she has any details on The Swinging Hearts.

Dear Joan, it seems like years since you left, though it's only been one day.

I can't thank you enough for all of these great posts! Cheers.

Have to note, the Joey & the Lexingtons track is actually "Bobby" (why they used that spelling for a gal is beyond me, but that's another story)...great song in its own right though...guess I gotta ask Joan or someone for "Tears From My Eyes"
