| Re: RCA Rights to Abbott Recordings - Correction

68.254.28.55
P.S.: The # of songs in the Abbott Catalog in the post above is incorrect, 36 is the correct # and 3 of those songs had two different versions on the Bear Family set. I didn't have the oppertunity to look it up and shot from the hip on my last post, sorry about that!

: Bob,
: My understanding is that RCA bought the
: 78 song catalog in 1956, but Abbott had
: rights to release any songs that Jim
: recorded with Abbott that were not released
: yet by them. Also, I have seen Gold
: Standard RCA copies of Bimbo that read that
: they were recorded in 1956, but there is no
: record of it happening in the session lists
: that were part of the Bear Family 16 CD set.
: One song that was rerecorded is Where Does A
: Broken Heart Go? that Jim wrote and put
: Mary's on it as writer, so she owned rights
: to it. It redone with an orchestral
: arrangement and was released on the Distant
: Drums LP/CD, and a radio version is on the
: RCA 2CD set the Jim Reeves Essential
: Collection from 1993. I'm not sure of the
: dates of the later recordings thet RCA
: released on that song. Also, RCA
: International in Germany released two LPs of
: Abbott Material Titled Jim Reeves the Abbott
: Recordings Vol 1 and 2 in 1982, with the Vol
: 1 having the same artwork as the original
: Jim Reeves Sings LP that Abbott issued in
: 1956, the one that is worth up to $2000,
: depending on condition.

: To All,
: Don't know that I'll get a chance tomorrow
: to post this so I doing it now. Another
: historic occasion will be noted in the
: fabled career of Gentleman Jim Reeves, as
: tomorrow will be the 50th ammiversary of
: Jim's first recording session at the famed
: RCA Studio "B" on the original
: Music Row, on December 12, 1957. It used to
: be 1610 Hawkins Street, but it is called
: something else now that I believe has Music
: Row in the title. It was one of the first
: sessions there, as the studio opened in
: November of 1957. He recorded 3 songs,the
: first two were single records: I Love You
: More, RCA 45rpm 47-7171 #8 in June of 1958,
: and Theme of Love (I Love To Say I Love You)
: the flip side of Blue Boy RCA 45rpm 47-7266
: and Wishful Thinking, and later all three
: appeared on the LPM/LSP 2223 LP He'll Have
: To Go. I sent a blurb on this to Bucks Braun
: earlier and he may be playing one or all of
: these songs on his show tomorrow on the I's
: Have It WBZI AM 1500 Xenia OH WKFI AM 1090
: Wilmington WEDI 1130 Eaton and
