Tarton 54039 Have You Ever Really Been There / Lady With the Rose   ?


With 1005 they started recording in Nashville, with Bill Justis arranging.

Highlighted titles are linked to online samples.
Omitted numbers are mainly by other artists.
I'm not sure about 1045a. 54039 was on a later resurrection of the Tartan label.
See 45cat.com for more of his releases.

One song that's missing here is Mark My Word. Possibly that was 1020.

Songs I'd like to hear at the moment include: Step By Step, Unless You Care, and the first recordings of  My Love, You Must Belong To Me.

Check out this video at YouTube of Gypsy Heart [link]. The dancing is synchronized with the song.
