The Three Suns - Triple Shot!: On a Magic Carpet (1960), Warm and Tender (1962) & A Swingin' Thing (1964)

All three of the following albums by The Three Suns were originally posted over at the ROCKOVERGRACELAND blog. The original download links there expired a while ago. I've received many requests to make these three albums available here. ROCKOVERGRACELAND is very sporadically updated now and I've directly emailed the owner of the blog about a repost here. I hope I'm not stepping on any shoes here, but I haven't received a reply either way, so I'll assume he doesn't mind if I make these three albums available to The Three Suns fans that frequent PLM.

The Three Suns -
On a Magic Carpet (1960)


This is a set of songs with an international flair that were originally popularized by other artists during the 1950s. The Three Suns place their unmistakable mark on these great tunes with an able assist by arranger Charles Albertine. For more info on this release, including the original liner notes, check out its page over at Michael David Toth's The Three Suns Universe.

While not terribly exciting to watch, YouTube member Orthophone uploaded this clip of a turntable spinning "The 3rd Man Theme":



One of the very few albums in The Three Suns catalogue to see an official reissue, this was remastered and released on CD in Japan. Excellent sound quality at a high bitrate!

The Three Suns -
A Swingin' Thing (1964)


Founding member Al Nevins assumes production duties on this LP. Roy Glover provides the creative arrangements and also composed two of the songs ("Nite Trix" and "Painted Desert"). As a big fan of Fats Waller, it's a real pleasure to hear The Three Suns tackle that old classic "Ain't Misbehavin'." For more info on this release, including the original liner notes, check out its page over at Michael David Toth's The Three Suns Universe.

I don't know if you never see portofino in true. Is a very "amour" place.

I live there!

Hi, Kevin!

Since you're the single best 3 Suns blogger out there, I thought I tell you that I posted the 1958 "Having A Ball with The Three Suns". My rip comes from a rather 'bally' vinyl copy, so don't expect clean nuclear hi-fi, but it's still nice and warm to hear.

I was deeply searching The Three Suns especially for 'Anna,' 'Peg O My Heart,' 'Arrevederci Roma,' and 'Delicado.' I had these Tracks on Reel Tapes, which have been damaged. I am thank ful to you for this sharing.
