As it happens I have those 8 tracks from that 10in LP on this one (12in) too: This one is on the (U.S.) Hollywood label (LPH 30), only that the tracks now are "credited" to Connie Bennet, Bill Smyth and the Harlem-Aires, whereas the "credits" on the Solitaire LP go to the "Manhattan Rhythm Boys". Both labels are part of those plentiful budget pressings of the 50s, of course, with rehashes of previous releases, sometimes with rather fanciful artist "credits" and arbitrary changes of the song titles (to make them look like new(er) releases). Part of a competition of "out-crowning the Crown label" on its own turf. The music ain't bad at all on these records but so far I haven't bothered trying to find out who's really hiding behind those artist "credits". Anybody else has??

JohnS Posted January 20, 2011 Report Posted January 20, 2011 Not certain but after seeing the Solitaire logo that these were budget releases in soft card jackets. There may have been EPs too. Quote
