Looking for an old recording - P2P-Zone

petriburg · 15-05-05, 06:00 PM

I would appreciate help with this if anyone cares to assist. A friend needs just one song to complete a compilation, and it has completely eluded our searching for a couple of weeks or more. It is "The Kentuckian Song". peformed by Paul Weston. I think it's quite an oldie, judging by what's 'out there' on p2p by this artist, but we don't want to give up hope. So, could anyone point me in the direction of a source for this?

I see a few different songs of that title, but none by Paul Weston. There are versions by Mac Wiseman, Eddy Arnold, and The Hilltoppers, but I can't find one by Paul Weston, either. Good luck...

I put in a request though it's a longshot.

I have a bunch of Paul Weston on vinyl, but this song is not on any LP I have.

Further information on this track does not necessarily help in finding it, but here goes: the song made the Australian top 40 for two months running in 1966. It was released on the (Australian) Coronet label, which was owned by CBS. Does this mean, one wonders, that the song was never released in the USA?

I've since found that it was released as a single here in the US:

78 rpm: The Kentuckian Song b/w You And You Alone + Trumpet solo: Zeke Zarchy 1955 COLUMBIA:40527

45 rpm: LA STRADA COLU:40737

Sorry, I don't have it on my puter, although I have a huge stack of 78s to sort through. I'll let you know.
