1070.0. "Looking for these tracks ..." by ESSB::SGREEN (Jambo) Wed Sep 23 1992 11:53

    
    Please help ! A friend of mine is urgently trying to get hold of
    the following tracks on LP or cassette :
    
           James Last arrangement of 'Bye Bye Blues'
    
           Mills Brothers 'Up the lazy River (on a Sunday afternoon)'
           (not too sure if this is the correct title)
    
    Seems she has phoned various local record stores, but they can't
    find them in the catalogues or on computer.
    
    If you know an LP title that may contain either of these tracks or
    the name of a record store in UK that could help, can you post it
    here or send me a mail - ESSB::SGREEN. I know they are old 'uns, but
    you might have seen them in your grannies record collection.
                                                                
    Thanks

	You might try Virgin Records and/or HMV in Oxford Street. They certainly have a database on computer, tho' whether it goes down to track level I am not sure. Also, if you ask in somewhere like Our Price, they have a thick (like 3 inches) catalogue, usually under the counter, which you can look at. It is arranged by artist so it would not take more than a few minutes to look up James Last and the Mills Bros to find if there is anything out at the moment with those tracks on. There is nothing like going to do it yourself - sometimes shop staff can be less than helpful, I have found. andy

1070.3	..try Reading Library	JANUS::CROOK	The T-shirt is better than the band	`Wed Sep 30 1992 18:44`	7
	re 0.1 Reading Library also have a copy of the `Thick red book' (In the Music section on the 3rd floor) Neal.
1070.4	"Cruising down the river..."	CLARID::CHARLES		`Fri Oct 16 1992 12:00`	8
	"Up the lazy river" - if by this you mean "cruising down the river, on a Sunday afternoon, with one you love the stars above, waiting for the moon....." etc. Then I know you can get this on the soundtrack for the TV series "The Singing Detective". I know because I've got it but I can't remember if it's the Mills Brothers who sing it. Elaine.
1070.5		KNGBUD::MARCOTTE		`Thu Oct 22 1992 13:55`	9
	re: .4 I think the song goes something like this...."up a lazy river by the old mill run"...something....something..."in the noon day sun". The Mills Brothers did do this song. I have it buried somewhere in storage. I will try to dig it out and put the correct info about it. pem
