Hello everybody.
First let me apologize for the lack of activity on this blog. Thanks for the kind words and for taking time to actually read this. Making the blog took a toll on me, and hence the lack of contributions for the last year or so. That said, I would like to offer the following post to say "I'm sorry."
First let me apologize for the lack of activity on this blog. Thanks for the kind words and for taking time to actually read this. Making the blog took a toll on me, and hence the lack of contributions for the last year or so. That said, I would like to offer the following post to say "I'm sorry."
When I decided to start making the Amazing Little Parlor Games compilations 7 years ago, I had no idea that it would evolve to NINE volumes (so far), feature 145 songs and would have a supposed impact on the way Vic released his music. I was flattered when he would ask me for the comps, and I was more than happy to oblige. I did not expect that eventually over 20 of these tracks would be recorded and put out for the world to hear.
Whether or not I had any impact in that I don't know for sure, but Vic did tell me that he sent "live versions" of some of these songs to his producers and that the song choices for the albums came from that. I like to think that perhaps they were from these comps. Maybe not, but to be sure, he was always very happy to get them. Nine volumes in and there still may be enough unreleased material for a few more sets. Vic was prolific, to say the least.

Nine volumes in and there still may be enough unreleased material for a few more sets. Vic was prolific, to say the least.
I have taken the time to 'remaster' the 9 previous volumes, and have decided to upload them for everyone to be able to have for themselves. These remasters were done in order to upgrade quality, to speed correct, to replace with superior versions, and in general just to clean them up to the best possible sound that they could be. The songs deserve it, and so does Vic. These should be considered the definitive versions.
I hope that everyone will take time to download, enjoy, share and leave comments. Some changes have been made since the initial sets were offered and the most accurate and up to date info is below. Song titles have been changed to reflect the proper titles and in incidents where the song was eventually released, that information has been noted.
Feel free to critique, criticize, praise and compare all you want. I would like to see some dialogue regarding these songs and have this blog be more active in discussions and proactive in keeping Vic's music alive. The more interest that there is in the man and his music, the more likely hood for future releases, at least that is my hope.
