Setlist is very similar to the one I saw in LA earlier that month, but lacks Under the Bridge, Readymade, For Emily – John, and What Is Soul, supplanted with 21st Century, Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow and Soul To Squeeze.

Let me know if you are interested in a second pressing of this on 7 inch vinyl. I am considering ordering 3 more copies to sell at a loss. I am subsidizing this with Spotify earnings, so you won’t break the bank if you really want one. It costs me almost 30 dollars to press each copy, but I am thinking of selling it to my Tumblr followers for $15 a copy. Message me if this sounds like something you would consider buying.

The offer is still open.

Let’s All Sing With The Chipmunks – 1959, mono, original cover, mine.

The album that started the career for The Chipmunks, though Dave Seville (Ross Bagdasarian, Sr.) had been recording straight music and novelty songs since 1951 and was seen and heard as a piano player in Hitchcock’s Rear Window in 1954. Soon after this album, the Chipmunks got their first animated cartoon series, and things have continued from there. Ross Sr. died in 1972, but after a seven year pause the work was carried on by his son Ross Jr. and the recent CGI movies prove The Chipmunks are still at it.

Nowadays the voices are done by separate actors and using digital manipulation, but Ross Sr. did the original voices (and those of earlier characters, The Witch Doctor and The Bird On My Head) using a variable speed tape player and his own voice over multiple takes. Quite a bit of work to put together just one song, let alone a dozen songs per album on the first dozen albums.

And now, something you rarely see: an autographed Chipmunks album!
