Erskine Butterfield
Just For Kicks
Album US 1955 on Livingston Electronic Corporation label
Jazz (Swing)
An early binaural release on transparent red vinyl. The liner notes briefly discuss ping-pong arrangements featuring Kress and D'Amico. On my copy, the original owner wrote in ballpoint ink, "purchased 1955," which puts this a couple years ahead of stereo releases. Now the weird part. There are two tracks on each side. The first track of side A, for example, plays "Honeysuckle Rose; If I Had You; Lover; You Took Advantage Of Me," with a brief silence between each song. When that last song has finished, the needle then enters a trailout in the middle of the side. The listener must physically cue to the next track in order to listen to it, and it turns out to be the same tunes in the same order but seemingly different arrangements. I envisioned a turntable with two tonearms able to play both tracks at the same time, sending one track to Left and the other Right. Does anyone know, is this what this album is supposed to do??
