London American label Year By Year series

In 2009 Ace Records a leading UK based speciality cd re-issue label commenced its new project the London American year by year series. 

The London American label was an imprint of UK Decca Records that licensed recordings from the very many independent companies in the States and promoted them for the UK market at a time when very few US companies had UK operations of their own and the global multi-market companies we have today just didn't exist. 

London American had many deals with companies such s United Artists, Liberty, Big Top, Chess and Cadence that were the home to many of the stars of the late 1950's and early 60's such as the Everly Bros, Bobby Vee, Del Shannon, Chuck Berry and Johnny and the Hurricanes who were really popular some more popular than back home in the States. 

So a series like this is really valuable for giving you a taste of what the music of this era the one before the Beatles was really like and what is more they have deliberately gone for the previously unissued on cd tracks. 

As a really good move they have also got access to the UK Decca tape vaults where the tapes used to manufacture the original 45's were stored and used them so we have the original monaural sound those who bought and collected the 45's expect which has been expertly re-mastered. 

To date three titles have been issued 1960, 1961 and 1962 which came out last week landing in my mailbox on Monday. 

Hear we go again rewinding to the past with this the latest instalment of ACE's London American year By Year series. 28 tracks some hits some misses that haven't been re-issued on cd from 1958 from the original UK masters. 

Artists featured are Duane Eddy, The Mills Bros, Jerry Lee Lewis, Pat Boone, Chuck Berry, The Drifters and Eddie Cochrane with his Summertime Blues. What's great about the series is there's very little duplication with other ACE London American compilations

School Uniform and skirt length

This time of year certain British stores tend to be busy such as BHS, Marks and Spencer, John Lewis and that very British institution, the school uniform shop  because after next week Autumn term starts at most schools and this brings with it last minute uniform replacements and checking everything fits.

We always had are skirt lengths measured so they were not too short as that would break school rules and reflect badly upon our folks. It may of seemed awkward but I'm they cared to ensure we were decent and properly presentable.

Boys do look pretty good in kilts as the boys in this co-ed school in Scotland who have the kilt as part of the school uniform.

Perhaps this should be an option elsewhere in the UK?

The Tubes and cd updates

Finally I got two albums by the theatrical art-rock group The Tubes on cd, mainly The Completion Backward Principal and Outside/Inside from 1981&1983 respectively that were re-issued by BGO Records over here many years ago (1991 I think).

They feature the hits 'Talk To You Later' and 'She's A Beauty' which was a top 10 hit in the States which I remember buying the domestic 45 of.

Coming soon and not before time is a set of discs in the 1992 Rock and Roll Hits series from UK EMI's Music For Pleasure label featuring various classic jukeboxes on the front covers.
They compile may hits of the 'Rock and Roll era' from 1955 through 1963 from the Capitol/EMI, MCA and United Artists/Liberty stable taking in Buddy Holly, Gene Vincent, Bobby Vee, Eddie Cochrane and the Crickets amongst many.

I bought two back then but they soon went out of print and want to complete the set.

The little side of Sissification

When people think about being a sissy and how you may be encouraged to explore more of it, it is usually the more Adult forms that feature but with me for most of the time it is more of younger and less overtly adult thing.

It's really rather more an exploration of the more little more child-like feminine side of me that was often hidden in the past and has more to do with the idea of being given a fresh start to have a Mummy like figure who'd encourage more exploring that side often in more little girl frilly attire.

You're with her for that period and she's determined you will use that time to step out of your comfort zone and try this out even if a mild spanking may be in the offing if you aren't prepared to give it a go as after all you made it plain you did feel that way.

It would be a big pity not to.

While there is much wrong with this caption, the pronouns, the mean language the girls use, the hint you might be gay the right things are you do want to play with girls in games that no boy ever would, go making daisy chains and being expected to look after your pretty dress.

It was always more like the childhood I wanted and I do recreate remaining in many ways that child - that GURL, dammit - and that's what the little side of this more about for me.
