Description
Hello record collectors and vinyl junkies...I'll be thinning out my collection and listing hundreds of LPs over the next few months, so please keep checking back.
Anyway, let's continue with this radio airplay PSA album titled The Navy Swings featuring Louis Prima, Gia Maione & Sam Butera. This record was issued in 1963 (Program 25 & 26 Series A) These programs were originally broadcast on 10/21/1963 and 10/28/1963
This album was issued for radio play and was never available commercially. The record features Louis being interviewed by George Fenneman (Gia is asked one question) and between tracks/interview questions the record contains recruiting messages encouraging young listeners to enlist for service in the United States Navy.
The record includes the following musical selections by Prima, Maione and Butera, some of which were recorded by Prima Records on May 24-25 but were never released.
- When You're Smiling
- Buona Sera
- Won't You Wait Until Tomorrow (Gia Maione vocal)
- Robin Hood
- Old Man River
- Tiger Rag (instrumental)
- Anyone For Love (Sam Butera vocal)
- Hello Lover (Louis & Gia duet)
During the interview portions Louis mentions that the track Anyone For Love was just recorded by Butera and would be released soon...I don't think the track ever was released. They also mention President Kennedy during one of the recruiting messages. Kennedy was assassinated about a week after the show was originally aired.
LP has several marks that cause surface noise during play. The radio station that originally broadcast this program wrote some info on the record labels. The record was never issued with a cover - it comes in a plain white sleeve.
Please feel free to email with any questions.
The fine print:
Payment is due within three days after end of the auction. I only accept payment through Paypal - if you do not have a Paypal account, please email me BEFORE bidding to inquire about alternative payment methods.
Domestic shipping is by Media Mail, which can take up to two weeks to arrive. Priority Mail is available for an additional cost if requested.
I do combine shipping for multiple purchases. The $4.00 covers between one and two albums. Additional albums (three and up) are an additional .50 cents each. Please wait for an invoice from me as the Paypal system does not calculate the combined shipping.
Overseas shipping is by Air Mail only. Shipping for one LP to Canada is $15.50 and everywhere else in the world is $23.00. Overseas shipping is by regular air mail and can take anywhere from one to four weeks to arrive. I do combine shipping on overseas purchases - I will send an invoice with the combined shipping cost if you purchase more than one LP.
Sorry I no longer ship to Italy or the Russian Federation due to the high number of "lost" packages.
All records are mailed in cardboard record mailers with cardboard inserts to prevent damage. LP will be removed from the cover to prevent seam splits while in transit.
Thanks for looking and good luck!
