Look what I found...it took a few months.....
"Flying Down To Rio / Hollywood Hotel".....
http://hotfile.com/dl/34305623/85716e5/Flying_Down_To_Rio__Hollywood_Hotel.rar.html
Includes ALL the minimal artwork for this apparent boot.
The sound quality of Hollywood Hotel leaves a bit to be desired, but Flying Down To Rio sounds pretty good, all thing considered.
@ Southview212
Many thanks for posting Flying Down To Rio and Hollywood Hotel.
@Southview212 - Thank you for tracking this down and posting. Much appreciated.

@ anonymousremains
Thanks for the greats, mate.
Ever heard of Debroy Somers?
I had some of his 78s when I was little. Don't remember the titles but I wish I had them again now...
@ mel -
I am in search of Nelson Riddle's "Paris When It Sizzles".
The link at Vintage Vinyl is dead.
A good source (isbum) suggested I contact you, to see if you could share it.
Thx!
I recently shared this over at "Mindy's" and I think there is a following here that would also like this 4 CD compilation....
This is an absolutely amazing 4 CD compilation...
"Star Spangled Rhythm :Voices of Broadway and Hollywood"
"Smithsonian Collection of Recordings"
Consists of 72 recordings from 1906 to 1994.
Disc 1.....

There is an 80 page booklet associated with this compilation. I am unable to scan it without destroying the binding of the booklet...Sorry!
Folks, further to Southview212's great post above of the 4-CD Smithsonian collection (thanks for posting it here, S212), you can see details of this wonderful compilation here:
http://www.answers.com/topic/star-spangled-rhythm-smithsonian
@ Southview212
Izzy is correct - I do have Nelson Riddle's "Paris When It Sizzles" and I will do my best to upload it for you first thing tomorrow morning. Be warned, however, that it's mp3 at 192kbps and not my rip.
@ Mel - Oh, darn. I've had my eye on the Cd
Paris When It Sizzles/Great Music Great Films Great Sounds Nelson Riddle
released on some Collectors label forever.
Save yourself the bother, brother Mel.
I'll get this for us, no problem.
@ mel....
Thanks.....no matter what "izzy" says, you are a true gentleman.
@ Southview212 - Now, hold yer darned horses right there!
@ Mel - It's that pair of varmint's in Florida you gotta watch out for!

@Mel - Hold off posting your Riddle "Paris When It Sizzles". I have a LP rip @320 (I think from filmpac) I will post it here in a couple of hours for Southview212 and you can dl an upgrade if you would like.
Thanks everyone

@Southviw212 - Mr. Riddle is ready to Sizzle. I think this came originally from filmpac. Thanks goes to him.

@ GSW -
Thanks!
Now who's the varmit??
I picked up the Cd and the Lp is here... in 320 now. :(
Harumpfff! I'm gonna post it anyway. :)
It's got a second album on it titled "Great Music, Great Films, Great Sounds" on it, so that should be good.
@Isbum - I totally missed your post saying you would post the cd.
Please go ahead and post the cd & the second album.

@ isbum, Southview212 and GSW
There are no "varmints" among you - you are all great guys and a fantastic team.
Heh heh, if it wasn't for the time difference between us I would have uploaded mine too. It just so happened that I saw the request just before I was about to shut my computer down for the night...
@ anonymousremains
Thanks so much for the Debroy Somers and the Jessie Matthews links.
I have seen a few Somers' tracks in compilations out there but as I am not a fan of compilations with various artists I didn't download any of them. What I was really after was an album of just the Somers band but I don't think one exists.
I doff my hat to you for searching.
@ anonymousremains
Listening right now to the Debroy Somers recordings from Internet Archive. They sound very good indeed. A great band, in my opinion.
Just in case you were wondering, my 78s by him were already very old when I was little!
Now, I know that this is off topic, not having anything to do with the Golden Age Of Hollywood, but I'd like you to listen to one of my top favourite records from what could be the mid-1930s - it's a really bouncy number by Jack Hylton:

Many thanks for all your information.
Your friend's old 78s blog is most interesting.
I'll try to tackle the Aussie's stuff tomorrow and get back to you if successful.
Paris When It Sizzles - 2 vocal tracks!!
@ GSW: I somehow doubt that this is an LP rip. I heard it when it was first posted, and the Fred Astaire track is missing. According to soundtrackcollector.com, it was on the original LP release, but not on the CD re-issue. But - Thank you, and thanks to the original uploader.
AAAANYway .... for collectors, I added two vocal tracks which are not on the CD:
a) The Girl Who Stole the Eiffel Tower - dialogue scene incl. Frank Sinatra singing (from the Rh*ino Sinatra box).
b) That Face - Fred Astaire.
The latter was a tricky one! I merged the first part of the song, which is played in the movie, with the second part, which Astaire performed on his TV show a few years earlier. (I could not simply use all of the TV show track since the middle part there was edited/shortened.) This way, we have, probably for the first time ever, the complete, unedited playback track as it was recorded by Astaire for his TV show, however never released in its entirety. Enjoy!
http://www.sendspace.com/file/tdcvy4'>http://www.sendspace.com/file/tdcvy4</a
(Nevertheless - Anyone got the (shortened) OST LP version?
@Musical - Thank you for the 2 songs. Great additions.
The version I posted is the shortened LP version (R3pr!se RS-6113) which only includes 13 tracks. The Astaire track from the original LP (R3pr!se R-6113)was ommited for this LP release. The LP track list confirms the track omission. These LP tracks are exactly the same as the cd tracks.
Too bad someone doesn't have the original LP release.
@musical and gsw - I have the mono LP of Paris When It Sizzles and can transfer the missing track!
Thanks for this material!
Buster
Whoops - rereading your comments about Paris When It Sizzles, looks like you are interested in the track That Face from an Astaire TV soundtrack LP. I have that one as well and will rip it. Let me know if I am reading you wrong (again).
And here - assuming this is what you are looking for - is That Face from the LP Another Evening with Fred Astaire.
http://rapidshare.com/files/369377393/That_Face.flac
@Buster - Long time no see. Thank you for the Astaire song. I was mainly interested in the original mono issue LP of Paris When It Sizzles with the 14 tracks. If you have this please post it.
@ Buster - Did you take a break from blogging, or just a break from visiting Frankly?
Absence makes the heart grow fonder.
Nice to see you!
@ Isbum and GSW,
Thanks for the welcome back! I do try to keep up with the doings around here. Unfortunately I don't have the time to contribute much. Work has kept me way too busy for a long time, so I mostly keep to my own blog. Hope you are doing well!
Thanks II from my end! Listening to it right now. I have an old Astaire Show LP (sampler) in one town and an LP player somewhere else, so I am glad you provided us so quickly with a flac :-) Your (Buster) question surprises me ... Isn't it exactly the same track, just without bows? Or yet another edit? Anyway, would be great if you could post it as well! Thanks!
I've been quietly lurking in the background, intrigued but confused and flummoxed about the recording of That Face you guys are looking for. The recording on my copy of Paris When It Sizzles is orchestral.
I have in my collection much of what Fred Astaire recorded - from his first recordings with his sister Adele and George Gershwin in the 1920s to his last recordings in the late 1970s.
I found only two recordings of the song; the first you have already discussed(from Three Evenings With Fred Astaire) and the second comes from his 1975 LP Attitude Dancing.
If it's any help in your searching, here it is:
http://rapidshare.com/files/369803081/Fred_Astaire_-_That_Face_-_from_LP_-_Attitude_Dancing.mp3
Thanks, Mel! Again not what I am looking for, however a nice surprise listen! :-) A nice, tender recording that suits the older Astaire's voice nicely ...
Looking for FLOWER DRUM SONG 1961 soundtrack
HAPPY APRIL!
April In Paris (1952) - Original Soundtrack Recording
http://www.sendspace.com/file/gtzl5t
@ aberdeennj - would it be OK if I posted the Flower Drum Song link over at Mindy's Broadway Place as well - several people have been looking for it? All credit to you of course!
I'd send them over here, but there seems to be something weird going on with the pages - took me a bunch of tries to get the most recent comments on Mel & Sallie's - sometimes when I hit newest I got the soundtrack pages, other times nothing.
@ Mindy - This blog has more tic's than a Tennessee hound dog!
A few weeks back, before the fit hit the shan, I was talking to THXjay about starting fresh with a new b-spot.
*Just for that 'new blog' smell! ;)
Perhaps just leaving this behind as an archive and reminder of a by-gone era.
We'll see. Depends on how life without Varese goes, I suppose.
@ Mindy - Of course you can post it at your blog too!
@ aberdeennj - a big thanks for posting Flower Drum Song at the Broadway blog. I was having trouble finding my copy.
@ isbum - well, I'll gladly follow where ever you decide to go.

Hello,
Can someone help me? I am looking to get the soundtracks for The Apartment and Auntie Mame. I tried downloading them from other sources, and all had invalid links. Thanks so much. My e-mail is thustlebird@gmail.com.
Take care,
Daniel Kremer
Hello,
I am looking for the soundtracks for the following films in MP3 RAR form:
Sunday in New York
The Apartment
Auntie Mame
Thanks.
Take care
@Daniel Kremer - Check your e-mail.
A few weeks back, somebody offered to post the soundtrack to MacDonald/Eddy's Rose Marie. Was it ever posted? I've tried searching for the post to see who made the generous offer, but I can't seem to find it.
THANKS!
Aberdeennj
Thank you thank you thank you so much. Any luck on the Sunday in New York soundtrack?
I have a recollection that someone offered "Love Me Tonight" soundtrack, but haven't seen it, and am not even sure it was this blog.
If anyone has it, please post, or point me in the right direction!
Thank you!
@ Mel - It's been a while since hearing from you.
Is everything alright?
I recently stumbled on this amazing blog. Sadly, a lot of the links have expired. I'm hoping the following lps can be re-uploaded:
"You'll Never Get Rich" 1941
Butch Cassidy & Sundance Kid (OST)
Fred Astaire At MGM
Bing Crosby Chronological Vol. 35-38
Thanks!
Does anyone have the expanded Rhino release of "It's Always Fair Weather"?
Thanks.
Would you please put up the soundtrack to the royal wedding with fred astaire stars in it.
I can't believe there hasn't been a single post in this blog since November 20!
Please ignore my previous comment.
Obviously I got it wrong!
@ Friends of Sallie & Mel's Golden Age shop.
Sallie quit posting several month's into the opening of this and now Mel has decided to only post on private blogs.
The centerpiece and strength of this blog is that the shops have real people overseeing them and moderating the comments/content.
I'm in need of someone to take over. I'll happily adapt the sign to show your name on the marquee.
Apply by writing me
zippyljs@yahoo.com
if you are interested in moderating/owning this shop.
If I don't find someone, this shop will close, but will remain accessible as an archive here.
Sad news indeed. I wish I new something about moderating.
@ aberdeennj - There's really very little to do in moderating the "shop". As you know, people are rarely unpleasant around here.
What I ask for in a "shop" owner, is that they have a knowledge of the subject and are present to answer questions or requests.
We have some excellent people here in the various shops. None of them are available 24/7, but they stop by often enough that the shop doesn't appear to be abandoned.

Hi All! Loving this blog- completely overwhelmed by the sheer volume of amazing stuff. Two requests; hope they're in the right place. Billy Rose's Diamond Horseshoe- this movie has been one of my favorite's for years and I have a couple of the songs that Dick Haymes sings in it, but don't know if there (hopefully?!) is a soundtrack out there as there are so many other great numbers. Betty Grable has a couple of great ones.
The other is Three Coins in the Fountain by Jule Styne.
Thanks for any help!
Can somebody post the soundtracks to "I'll Cry Tomorrow" and "Call Me Madam"?

Can somebody post the LP versions of "Gigi," "Show Boat" (either from the '30s or '50s) and "Seven Brides for Seven Brothers"? I am not interested in the bonus features, just the simple songs.
@ Sallie & Mel - Thanks for the memories!
I truly loved having you join my blog, and happy that we spent some time together here.
Bless you both and best wishes,
Larry
