Charles Earland discography

[The Magnificent Goldberg]

Charles was born on 24 May 1941. So I thought I'd try putting his discography on the forum, as a tribute.

It's a bit big, so it has to go on in two parts.

Part 1 covers the period from 1959 to 1974 (the last of his recordings for Prestige).

(Yes, I do mean 1959.)

Well, that seems to have worked. Here's part 2, which covers the period from 1975 (when he started recording for Mercury) to 1999.

So that's why you asked how one uploads these things ..... congratulations for the good work, and many thanks. It has been one of Jim Alfredson's dreams to make this a place for organists' discographies - well, we're working on it!

Thanks a lot, Mike.

HIs "Black Talk" is my favorite organ combo album ever!

And “Black Drops” is damn near as good too (I go back and forth about which one of the two I like better).

I recently bought an LP copy of "Mama Roots" on Muse.  It does not list recording dates.  In researching (on Wikipedia and elsewhere), I went down a rabbit hole.  Turns out some of it was recorded contemporaneously (circa 1977), and some of it came from albums recorded for the Choice record label (not clear if this was Gerry MacDonald's "Choice" label) in 1969, with one track perhaps being recorded in 1966.  Except there's an unclear linkage between the Choice tracks and the Mama Roots tracks.  This all seems to be the doings of Ozzie Cadena, who's listed as producer on all.  So I need some TMG help!

And how do you misspell Jimmy on the cover?

Love his Dynamite Brothers score.  "Betty's Theme" is the money cut.

Look what I found!

Was Dave Schnitter around in 1969?

OK, so the bottom line is that these tracks are from two 1969 sessions, produced by Ozzie Cadena, some of which previously appeared on LPs on the Choice label.

He was born in 1948.

I used the title track as one of my two signature cuts when I did a jazz radio show in college.  The other cut was "Expansions" by Lonnie Liston Smith.  Ahh, the 70's!

Most of the Burner's Muse albums are great! Really a shame that they're all OOP, as is the label itself. It would be great to see someone buy up that catalog and rerelease a lot of that stuff, especially Earland's!
