Sleeve Notes

These old vinyl records have an interesting story to tell. The Guess Who's "Wheatfield Soul" was released in 1969 on LP as RCA LSP-4141. I remember listening to it with some friends a couple of years later and was especially drawn to the track "Friends of Mine" a 10 minute exploration very reminiscent of some of Jim Morrison's spoken word works with the Doors. I'm listening to it as I write this.

But that's not the inspiration behind this post. It's the album inner sleeve. Where you might expect information about the band, or perhaps lyrics, or even a nice picture, you get none of the above. What it is is an ad for a number of other RCA records. So if you're a fan of The Guess Who, you most likely will also enjoy:

• The Sons of the Pioneers
• Floyd Cramer
• Glenn Miller
• George Beverly Shea
• Mario Lanza
• Chet Atkins
• Hank Snow
• Van Cliburn
• Perry Como
• Al Hirt
• Jim Reeves
• Glenn Yarbrough

Or these soundtracks

• Oliver
• Pink Panther
• Cattle Call
• South Pacific

or perhaps you'll enjoy these artists on the new 8-track format

• Hello Dolly
• Belafonte
• Al Hirt
• Eddy Arnold
• Perry Como
• Glenn Miller
• Van Cliburn
• Beethoven
• Music from Million Dollar Movies

As a Guess Who fan, I need to update my collection!
