Review: Mal Fitch Mal/Content - I bought this album from desertcart a few years ago. I also have the original LP. Actually Mal Fitch taught world history from about 1959 to 1963 at a high school in Dallas. This album came out at the time he was teaching in high school. I also have a copy of his original album from about 1955, which was just called "Mal Fitch", and also an EP with 4 songs from the LP. He is still alive and well and living in Texas, even though he was originally from Ohio. Review: The bass player's son - The bass player on this CD is my father, Claude Guinn, and there is an interesting story about this CD. This particular CD originally was a demo album that Mal Fitch made back in the 50's when he would book jobs for his orchestra around the Dallas, TX area. He was very forward thinking for his day. Mal called my father up one day and said to meet him at the studio along with the drummer and they would cut a demo album (yes, an album!). They all met at the studio after working their day job (my dad was a barber during the day) and they recorded all the tracks in one sitting. Before they left, the studio said that they needed a title for the album, so my dad suggested Mal/Content - a take off of Mal's name. Mal liked it and the rest is history. Several years ago Mal showed up at my father's house in Dallas and very matter-of-factly said, "Claude, I have good news and bad news. The good news is after all these years we're finally famous, in Japan! The bad news is the copyright on the demo album we made back in the 50's ran out so we aren't getting a dime." Everyone got a good laugh out of Mal's statement. Mal then said, "the Frank Sinatra Society of Japan was kind enough to send us a few copies of the album, although it's now on what they call a CD. Here's your copy." And then Mal left. Thought you might enjoy the story :o). ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B000GALD4Q | | Best Sellers Rank | #758,460 in CDs & Vinyl ( See Top 100 in CDs & Vinyl ) #98,804 in Jazz (CDs & Vinyl) #313,862 in Pop (CDs & Vinyl) | | Customer Reviews | 5.0 5.0 out of 5 stars (5) | | Date First Available | December 6, 2006 | | Is Discontinued By Manufacturer | No | | Label | 3D | | Manufacturer | 3D | | Number of discs | 1 | | Package Dimensions | 5.35 x 5.31 x 0.16 inches; 1.71 ounces | ## Images ![Mal Content Mini Sleeve - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/41dK72X1J1L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Mal Fitch Mal/Content *by J***R on January 7, 2012* I bought this album from Amazon a few years ago.
