[Vintage-Audio] Re Source For 'Out Of Print'?

[Duane Fischer, W8DBF]

Hi All,

I am having no success thus far in finding new or used copies of the three 
albums Floyd Cramer released during 1988. Yes, I did try 'The Great Escape' 
in Nashville, TN. Both real and the on-line store.

The albums should be graded at least "Excellent for the vinyl", if they were 
even produced on vinyl in 1988.

1. Country Gold
2. Just Me And My Piano
3. Special Songs Of Love

Unrelated:

Floyd Cramer was the young man on piano when a youngster named Elvis Presley 
made his debut! Listen to 'Heartbreak Hotel'.

"Floyd was a session musician first, solo artist second. Hence he did not 
release many albums etc." says one music historian. Well, I certainly have a 
lot of albums on vinyl, thirty-nine and ten more on CD! Seems to me that 
Floyd Cramer kept quite busy when he was not playing for a session!

What I do not have, are the releases that came before the 1960 album "Hello 
Blues", which I have in stereo!

There was a 1957 album?, titled "That Honky-Tonk Piano and a 1958 single? 
titled "Flip, Flop And Bop". I know the single is on albums released later, 
but what about that Honkey-Tonk album?

Floyd Cramer also had some minor hits in releases in 1953. I do not know the 
titles of the songs. Is this early recording work available anywhere?

Thanks!
