Serving as the B-side companion to "On And On With You," "Apple Valley" showcases DOREE & BILL POST delivering a beautiful, mid-century pop-country vocal performance written entirely by the couple themselves. Pressed on striking translucent red vinyl, this landmark 1956 release caught the attention of Carl F. Burns' independent Crystalette Records imprint based out of California. To give the Kansas songwriting duo a major commercial push, the label paired them with Hollywood musical director and legendary composer Dominic Frontiere to guide the studio's orchestral backing. Finding this pristine tracking variation completely rewrites standard database discography lists for this hard-to-find custom pressing. This preservation is part of a private regional project dedicated to documenting the musical heritage of Kansas and the greater Midwest circuit. 🔧 TECHNICAL NOTES • Source Material: 45 RPM Vinyl • Digital Capture: Audacity (High-Fidelity WAV) • Audio Restoration: ClickRepair (Targeted click/pop removal keeping original rapid guitar pickings, bright country twangs, and tight rhythm section transients perfectly intact) To protect the privacy of the archivist and the integrity of the physical collection, comments are held for review to encourage community history sharing while filtering spam.
