In the September 14, 1959 issue of Billboard, Boots Woodall announced the set up of the NRC's own pressing plant equipped with ten presses imported from Italy. Apparently, two months later, the machines were not yet working. (or already out of order?).
Was Ivan Bloch related to Sonny Bloch who recorded with the Coralairs on NRC? Probably so me think.
There was a '63 Decca recording by Ivan Block. Was he the same singer?
Sonny Bloch & The Corolairs also had a 45 on Bee, so they're likely related... though I don't know anything about Ivan. Sonny lived in South Florida.
ReplyDeleteIvan was from Detroit, as the record was, he was my neighbor. He was also a broadway producer and owner of Sardi's for some time.
