Cape Breton singer-songwriter. 

Rita 3 80s LPs

Earl Thomas Conley - Chronological 1971 - 1997

 

All tracks very good quality with the exception of Track 13. I purchased three "mint" copies of it and they all have the same issues during the first minute or so, which makes me think the problem lies with Warner Brothers and their awful-quality singles. I included all 3 copies of Track 13. You can decide which one you prefer. I'm not going to pursue it any further as it is one of the my least liked tracks of the 104. 

All tracks leveled, properly titled and tagged. I've been called many things over the years but no one has ever called me lazy.

Mining the Charts: Canada supplement for Spring 1968

 

As the music industry polar flip plowed through 1968, RPM eliminated it's Canadian Hits chart in February, and by April Canadian artist records all but disappeared from the RPM 100 chart. The only record that carried-over into April (barely) was by the Lords of London and during the next 3 months only 3 Canadian artists successfully landed records in the RPM 100, which became just another Top 100 chart akin to those found in Cash Box, Billboard and Record World. Nothing to see here.

Gordon Lightfoot, Witness Inc. and 3's a Crowd were the chosen three. RPM did return a short Canadian Content chart (there's a big difference between "content" and "hits") at some point during the summer of 1968, perhaps following a backlash in regards to what transpired during the Spring.
