23skidoo 28th Aug 2022		12" Single [no artist listed] - SpaceSounds (1980)	I accidentally hit return while entering, so some info got left off (but has been submitted to the mods). The most notable thing about this is it is a 10-inch Eva-Tone flexi. I've never encountered one before. And it's sleeved, too, which is doubly unusual for a flexi. It appears to have been distributed through the National Geographic magazine, but must have been a special order item as it's too big for the magazine to have bundled like they used to do with posters and maps. I have scans of the label too but can't upload them till I get to my work Mac where I can crop them properly.
23skidoo 25th Nov 2020		12" Single Bill Haley - Rock Around The Clock (1989)	In the 1980s RCA scored some hits by taking vocal tracks from old Elvis recordings and putting them over newly recorded backing (the albums Guitar Man and Rocker, specifically); this was decades before the "remix" trend that saw Elvis score even more hits, but it was basically the same idea. Kenny Denton, who produced Haley's final album in 1979 for Sonet Records, attempted to do the same thing by taking vocals Haley recorded at a 1968 recording session and putting them onto new backing. There are in fact about three or four different versions of the Shake, Rattle and Roll redub, some of which Denton later issued on his independently made CD, The Journey to Fame. EDIT: Error on co-writer credit for A1 on label: should be "De Knight." A surprising error given Sonet released the song a number of times.
23skidoo 23rd Nov 2020		12" Single The Timelords - Doctorin' The Tardis (Radio) (1988)	Right now only Chinn and Chapman are listed as composers, however the label also credits the composers of the Doctor Who Theme and Rock and Roll. Correction submitted.
23skidoo 16th Feb 2020		12" Single Linda Ronstadt - Lies / Tell Him (1982)	Are "Lies" and "Tell Him" edited together as a single track? If not, they should be listed separately.
23skidoo 16th Feb 2020		12" Single Linda Ronstadt - Get Closer (1982)	Is it actually the same track on both sides, or is one side mono? That's the format used by the 7" promo for this song - one side mono, one side stereo.
23skidoo 3rd Dec 2018		12" Single Bananarama - Robert De Niro's Waiting (1984)	I only have the blue variant version. Hopefully someone has the green and pink variants.
23skidoo 19th Oct 2014		12" Single Cathy Dennis - Touch Me (All Night Long) (Club Mix) (1991)	I own this, but my version has a completely different label design.
23skidoo 16th Oct 2014		12" Single The Residents - Diskomo / Goosebump (1980)	The copy I own is green vinyl.
23skidoo 17th Aug 2014		12" Single Texas - Everyday Now Live/Studio EP (1989)	Each copy was individually numbered. The one I have, and which I indexed here, is #1182
