When did the album title Memories of Maria change to Satin Strings of Steel. Is this album available on CD?

i suspect the memories of maria album is from early to mid 1962, when that song was a hit single.

the other one is from 1965 or possibly a year later, based on corresponding roy orbison lps released on the same monument label in the same era. the monument label lps that i have do not have issue dates on them.

they contain the same material so i don't know why the reissue rather than just continuing with the original.

some of jerry's monument recordings are on CD, but i am not sure about those specific recordings. most likely not on a US CD.

Dewitt: Do you have this new CD in your shop? Jerry has always been my idol, as far as traditional steel playing is concerned- non pedal, that is.. Would like to hear more info about Jerry, on the forum.
he's the inspiration which caused me to love the hawaiin style of playing steel.Thanks to you Jerry Byrd Admirers..Bernie

The Cord International folks are putting out volume 2 of the best of Jerry Byrd in the first part of 2007 , god bless 'em

Cord International obtained the rights to Jerry's Monument LPS I believe from Sony a couple of years ago. It is my understainding that Mike Cord will be releasing a series of three CD's of these old recordings. Vol 1 came out this year. Vol 2 will be forthcoming soon. The CD is available from cordinternational.com.
