Hello, all...I'm finally embarking on my project of assembling a complete Bowlly collection. This is probably folly, as so many of Al's early records are...

Randy, you will be doing a great service to mankind. I'm sure I have just the most common releases myself, but I will double check my LPs. Is there a way...
Hi Randy: I have several Al Bowlly 78's, LP's, and even cassette compilations, and will be glad to offer the use of any to you that you may need. Good luck in...
Well, yes, I'm well aware that compiling a truly complete Bowlly collection is probably impossible, as Al recorded all over the globe in his early days for...
Thank you, John, for your offer of assistance, and thanks also from this California-based fan of British Dance Bands for all you've done to preserve and...
... A lot of unusual Bowlly releases hide in "various artists" collections of British dance bands, or just general nostalgia collections. (For example, an...

We're at 836 tracks as of May 5. New additions over the past couple of days include "America Calling," a very funny spoof of US radio personalities with Al as...
Hello, all. Well, the total on the "Complete-as-we-can-make it" Bowlly project has actually gone back by two tracks to 834, as I found two duplicates in the...
We're at 850 tracks now on the "Want it to be complete" Bowlly series, but several of the new additions (from a "bit-torrent stream") are in very overprocessed...

Oh boy I 'won' four Durium records with Al being the singer and I think Ray Noble band. I can't wait to get these in the mail. This was from the Knauck auction...
Congratulations! I guess Durium records are the same as "Hit of the Week" in the US, cardboard records with a cellophane coating. I'm not sure if the "Durium...
I have to confess I don't know for sure which ones I won or even which ones I bid on. I will report the titles when I receive them. Happy holiday to US. Neil...
Hello-- I think it's time I sent you the list of titles we don't yet have. There are about 350 tracks still missing (at least in my playlist). I have a...
