45cat - discographies, discussions, discoveries.

Either Monarch, Custom Record Mfg. or Rainbo (all of whom were cited in Billboards as pressing for Liberty at one time or another). I know the label type on {Images #211109 & 211110} was from Alco Research & Engineering.

Added composers and arranger. This 45 was charted at #16 (Japan's Original Confidence Magazine).

Added my scans of my 45!!

Nice tribute to the Challenger space shuttle crew...but the label should have spelled it "Heroes"!

Name should be Patrick Alley. mod edit: corrected with thanks.

Norton's 2000 release of a Gene Carroll EP gives 1959 as the date of this 45.

Yeah, just found that out; judging on the date ("108000" -> Nov/Dec 1982) that the other RCA/Monarch deadwaxes that I'd transfer. This is most likely "108020 / 108020-X" believing that the "10820" was more of a typo than anything.

Here we go again with another song that seems to have composer conflicts. Wikipedia states this was written by Rose Marie McCoy and Luther Dixon. It was recorded by Al Hibbler in 1958 and yet that single shows the composers as James Lee and Barney Williams. Who knows they...

Shouldn't Monarch MR number be 6 digits?

This 45 may date to late 1961: mentioned in Billboard's 18 Dec 1961 edition as "getting some action", although the record label is not named (see image #3595057).
