Alice Lon - Lawrence Welk Featuring Alice Lon (1959)
Vinyl Spin of the Day.
Never let it be said that Larry didn't rock. This album includes "Rock and Roll Waltz", made popular by Kay Starr.
One night I was late, came home from a date
Slipped out of my shoes at the door
Then from the front room, I heard a jump tune
I looked in and here's what I saw
There in the night was a wonderful scene
Mom was dancing with dad to my record machine
And while they danced, only one thing was wrong
They were trying to waltz to a rock and roll song
One, two, and then rock
One, two, and then roll
They did the rock and roll waltz
Rock, two, three, roll, two, three
It looked so cute to me
I love the rock and roll waltz

I guess my question is, why did Steve remaster a comedy album? They are not usually known for high fidelity.Why buy this album orwhy did Steve remaster it?
Do the Stooges perform in a competent and sonically-pleasing way?
Whoops! Never mind, please. I see fleeting hints of my (mother's) negative outlook seeping in to my questions. I need to go exorcise rn.

This 1984 reissue of the 1959 LP was remixed by audiophile guru Steve Hoffman, so it sounds GREAT!

Steve first attracted the attention of record buyers when he took charge of MCA’s feeble catalog reissue program shortly before the arrival of the compact disc. He was given complete access to the vault and compiled new LP’s of rarities by vintage Decca artists Bob Hope, The Andrews Sisters and Judy Garland.
This Three Stooges album is a straight reissue of the one on Coral, which appeared originally both in mono and stereo. It featured a full orchestra, so doubtless the sound benefited from Steve’s ministrations.

Tommy Cash - Here Comes Tommy Cash (1967)
Vinyl Spin of the Day.
Johnny's younger brother, Tommy Cash (1940-2024) followed him into the music business. Though he never achieved huge success, he assembled a very respectable body of work over many years of recording. This album appeared after two earlier singles on Musicor sank without a trace.
"Here Comes" was Tommy's first album. It offered many clues that he was trying to establish an identity separate from The Man In Black:
1. He's wearing white.
2. It appeared on United Artists, a label not affiliated with Columbia, Johnny's label.
3. The liner notes studiously avoid mentioning his family other than the fact that he picked cotton with them.
4. Producer Bob Montgomery (who began his career singing with Buddy Holly as "Buddy & Bob") opted for a gritty country sound that emphasized Tommy's earthy voice but went way beyond Johnny's signature "Tennessee Three" band.
The album kicks off with a searing take on "Tobacco Road", followed by 11 more strong songs by top writers like Curly Putman, "Doodle" Owens and Dallas Frazier. Clearly Tommy had access both to the best material and to the A-Team musicians. Unfortunately, neither this album nor either of its singles hit the charts.

It's very good. There's even some Krautrock in it ('Astrozero', if I'm not mistaken).
Even the longer songs, like 'Anglepoised', 'Orko', and 'Distance' (to a lesser extent), kept my interest.
If you're intrigued, Bandcamp has the entire album.
