We’ve been selling karaoke since 1988. That’s a long time! When I wanted to put my business phone number in the Yellow Pages the “karaoke” category did not even exist. I had to list the business under “Musical Accompaniment”. I’ve seen a lot of changes in these three decades. The formats that we have used to listen to our music has gone from cassette tapes and Laser Discs to Compact Discs w/Graphics, MP3+G and digital downloads. The good news for those that still have a karaoke cd+g player is that we still have thousands of discs still available, many of them are rare and hard-to-find, such as this one.
Bobby Bare has had quite a career, seven decades long! The songs on this disc reflect a little bit of this career but there are so many songs to choose from. Most of us are familiar with some of his hits like "Marie Laveau", "Miller's Cave", and "Detroit City" but this disc features some of his harder to find tracks as well such as "Leaving On A Jet Plane", a version that I prefer over the original, among many others. This disc includes these songs and more - the twenty one listed below.
Here are the songs:
1. 500 Miles Away From Home

This is a returned disc but is essentially brand new as it comes in a sealed paper sleeve.
