78 RPM Acetate Record- A Personal [Happy Birthday] Greeting From Mother Goose [for Debbie]- Six Nursery Rhymes
Little can be found online about Personna Disk, Inc.; they sold these children's birthday records with commonly given names of children with a custom recorded introduction on the first side of the record. This record was meant for a then little girl named Debbie. Debbie is likely a grand- or great-grandmother by now- if she had children and those children had children, etc. This product appears to be of 1950s vintage. One doesn't see too many commercially mass-produced custom acetate records like this one; it is definitely an oddity for sure! My copy and the one other example on Discogs appear to represent all that can be found about them online. If anyone knows anything more about Personna Disk, Inc., we would all appreciate you sharing your knowledge with the rest of us. But, one thing is for sure, the equipment they used to lathe this record introduced a rather noticeable AC hum into the audio feed (some of which could not be filtered out by either DeNoise LF or Audacity's noise removal tools), and the amount of reverb used throughout both sides is almost too much to enjoy listening comfortably, especially in the introduction segment of side one. What was up with the early 1950s and putting very noticeable reverb effects on children's records- was it to try to mask the lo-fi-ness of the original recordings?

Peter Nero Trio- Just For You (Premier Records PM 2011)- Full Album
Premier Records, the parent label of Spin-O-Rama Coronet, Twinkle, Directional Sound, Award, Blue Ribbon, and Celebrity Records, was a budget label that specialized in generic, older material of name artists and knock-off/craze cash-in albums like any other of its time. The majority of the content that appears on Premier was traded around with other budget labels. This was especially true with their more generic music releases. Most of the material on their various record lines is predominantly uploaded/monetized officially by the parties that own most of the recordings that appear to have been issued on this umbrella of record labels.
All the recordings here can be apparently found online already- but I uploaded this album just to be sure because I wasn't 100% sure with general Google searches.
Tracklist:
Scratch My Bach
Lullaby Of The Leaves
It Might As Well Be Spring
Our Love Is Here To Stay
Red's Romp (Dedicated To Red Norvo)
There'll Never Be Another You
Love For Sale
What Is This Thing Called Love
How About You
