Budget Album
Budget albums (also known as unofficially by some collectors as either drugstore records or junk records) were low-priced vinyl LPs of popular and classical music released during the 1950s to 1970s consisting either of previously released material (usually reissues drawn from the catalogs of major labels featuring older performances by well-known artists) or material recorded especially for the line (often cover versions of hit songs by name artists sung or performed on these albums by usually unidentified and unknown musicians). Prices ranged from as low as 59 U.S. cents (minor label releases of the 1950s) to $2.98 (major label repackaging of older material in the 1970s). In the UK Pickwick Records' ''Top of the Pops'' record series, which operated between 1968 and 1985, was the most successful budget album range.

The World Of Lynn Anderson
''The World of Lynn Anderson'' is a compilation album by country music singer Lynn Anderson released in 1971. ''The World of Lynn Anderson'' seems to be an attempt to quickly package a volume in Columbia's two-disc "World of" series for Anderson, then at the peak of her career with three consecutive number one singles and multiple awards for her smash single " Rose Garden". Though Anderson had only been with the label for less than two years, she had already recorded five albums, three of which had charted well. ''The World of Lynn Anderson'' was a combination of the tracks from her first two albums for Columbia, ''Stay There 'Til I Get There'' and ''No Love at All'', minus two tracks from the latter album, "It's My Time" and "I Found You Just in Time". Many songs on this album are covers of previous hits for other artists, including Conway Twitty's "Hello Darlin'" and Bobbie Gentry's "Fancy" (which would later be covered by Reba McEntire and made a Top 10 Country hit for her ...

Rose Garden (Lynn Anderson Song)
"Rose Garden" (sometimes titled "(I Never Promised You A) Rose Garden") is a song written in 1967 by American singer-songwriter Joe South. It was first recorded by Billy Joe Royal on his 1967 studio album ''Billy Joe Royal Featuring "Hush"''. Versions by South himself and Dobie Gray appeared shortly after the original. Gray's version became a minor hit in North America in 1969. In 1970, Lynn Anderson recorded "Rose Garden" after hearing Joe South's version. However, Anderson's producer rejected the song's recording because he did not consider it to be a female tune. After much convincing, the song was eventually recorded and released as a single by Columbia Records. The song became a crossover hit after it reached both the American ''Billboard'' country and pop charts. "Rose Garden" also became a major hit worldwide, reaching the number one spot in multiple countries. "Rose Garden" has since been recorded by artists of various styles and musical genres. Notable covers include th ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
