78rpm-maniac 23rd Aug 2024		12" Single Dire Straits - The Bug (1992)	Different cover to UK/EU and France-editions.
78rpm-maniac 22nd Aug 2024		12" Single Bruce Springsteen - Spare Parts (1988)	Does a single / maxi-cd exist with the other cover-artwork and with the other tracklisting ?
78rpm-maniac 22nd Aug 2024		12" Single Bruce Springsteen - Spare Parts (1988)	Difference to BRUCET4 maxi-single. Different front-cover and two other tracks.
78rpm-maniac 22nd Aug 2024		12" Single Bruce Springsteen - Tougher Than The Rest (1988)	The correct cover shows Bruce like on the backcover with blue-coloured lettering on front cover. It is a fold out poster-cover. Difference to BRUCET3 is the other catalogue-number, the cover-artwork and different track on B-side: Be true (live version) instead of Born to run (live version).
78rpm-maniac 4th Jan 2024		12" Single Bruce Springsteen - Brilliant Disguise (1987)	Record comes with a big fold-out poster of Bruce.
78rpm-maniac 24th Nov 2023		12" Single Tangerine Dream - Das Mädchen auf der Treppe (1982)	Hi Break-in Master. Possibly a label-misprint. Most of the so called Super-Sound-Singles have a speed of 45 rpm.
78rpm-maniac 13th Nov 2023		12" Single Rolling Stones Feat. Lady Gaga - Sweet Sounds Of Heaven (2023)	Made in Czech Republic doesn´t mean a Czech issue, but it was made in the Czech GZ-Media pressing-plant.
78rpm-maniac 31st Oct 2023		12" Single Lee Marrow - Shanghai (1985)	I have also a light-green copy of that 12-inch-record.
78rpm-maniac 12th Sep 2023		12" Single Alan Parsons Project - Games People Play (1981)	Hi, please put it into the The Alan Parsons Project column. Thanks.
78rpm-maniac 14th Apr 2023		12" Single Phil Collins - In The Air Tonight (1981)	That record plays on 45-rpm, perfect. Sound is incredible good. The pressing plant used some older stock-labels with the imprint of 33 rpm for that record, so that is the reason, why it is blacked out and overprinted with 45 rpm.
78rpm-maniac 31st Mar 2023		12" Single Genesis - That's All (1983)	Different Maxi-Version to the other That´s All version. This one has a "Gimmix-cover" in orange colour with a label-hole. Record has a picture-label wich shows flowers and on the B-Side the artificial designed inscription of That´s All. You can see the label-style through the cover-hole.
78rpm-maniac 24th Mar 2023		12" Single Soft Cell - Tainted Love/Where Did Our Love Go (1981)	First issue released in a Soft-cover.
78rpm-maniac 18th Dec 2022		12" Single Udo Lindenberg - Reeperbahn (2022)	The sticker says 10-Inch record.
78rpm-maniac 13th Oct 2022		12" Single Marillion - He Knows You Know (Live) (2015)	This is a FAKE Picture-Disc with one track only. Possibly sold by an Israel Trader on the online marketplaces. There are a lot of such picture-discs by other stars, too. Not genuine.
78rpm-maniac 28th Sep 2022		12" Single Fine Young Cannibals - She Drives Me Crazy (1988)	Released in Germany also with the two cover-variants. (Silver-grey and blue-red version)
78rpm-maniac 12th Sep 2022		12" Single Camouflage [70s] - Bee Sting (1977)	This one is not the Germany-based Synth-Pop-Band Camouflage.
78rpm-maniac 30th Aug 2022		12" Single Dire Straits - Dire Straits Interview Disc (1984)	Photographers are: Dave Plastic and Adrian Boot
78rpm-maniac 16th Aug 2022		12" Single Pet Shop Boys - Heart (Disco Mix) (1988)	Issued with a different cover. Cover above shows Lowe with a hat. Different cover shows Tennant with a bowler.
78rpm-maniac 1st Aug 2022		12" Single Markus - Ich will Spaß (1982)	Correct writing will be Markus, not Marküs. corrected - mod.
78rpm-maniac 30th Jul 2022		12" Single Taracco - Sultana (1984)	PIT-Peter Illmanns Treff was a German music-show from the 1980s and Taracco is a pseudonym for Reinhard "Dickie" Tarrach, the former drummer of the German beat-band The Rattles.
78rpm-maniac 29th Jun 2022		12" Single John And Yoko / Plastic Ono Band - Happy Xmas (War Is Over) (1986)	Cool to see another misprinted copy of a Lennon-Ono-Maxi-Single by Apple-records. The half Apple is for the B-Sides and the green full apple is for the A-Sides, normally.
78rpm-maniac 29th Jun 2022		12" Single John Lennon - Plastic Ono Band (1981)	Definitely German issue. EMI-Electrola record-company and pressing-plant in Cologne made this disc in those days. GEMA is the German rights society.
78rpm-maniac 29th Jun 2022		12" Single Plastic Ono Band - Give Peace A Chance (1981)	Yes, it can be classified as a Maxi-Single, because of the format of 12-Inch. It does not belong on the quantity of tracks. Interesting to see, that this copy is a clear MISPRINTED version. The Half apple is normally for the B-Sides and the green full apple is for the A-Sides for LPs, Singles and Maxi-Singles. I also own such a misprinted copy with the B-Side Apple on A-Side and with the A-Side lettering. Just have a closer look at your copies.
78rpm-maniac 11th Jun 2022		12" Single Meat Loaf - Modern Girl (1984)	German Issue with gatefold-cover. Record features 2 extended versions of Modern Girl and Take a number. A-Side: Version 6:01min B-Side: Version 5:28min
78rpm-maniac 2nd Jun 2022		12" Single Huey Lewis And The News - Power Of Love (1985)	The coverdesign is the same as the Australian edition, but it is Made in Germany, with German catalogue-number.
78rpm-maniac 9th May 2022		12" Single Modern Rocketry - Homosexuality (1985)	According to the catalogue-number of that single, it could be released in 1985.
78rpm-maniac 31st Mar 2022		12" Single Mick Jackson - Blame It On The Boogie (1978)	A true story: That Mick Jackson was a UK-Soldier in Germany in my hometown of Paderborn, NRW. He had very good composer-abilities and he owned a small sound-studio. That well known Michael Jackson Song/The Jacksons-Song Blame it on the boogie is a brainchild of him, of that Mick Jackson. On this Maxi-Single you can hear the first original-version of that song, but the Michael Jackson-Version is more popular and more successful.
78rpm-maniac 15th Dec 2021		12" Single Dire Straits - Money For Nothing (1985)	This 10-inch record was pressed by Lyntone Pressing-Plant. Plated by Francis De Souza.
78rpm-maniac 11th Dec 2021		12" Single Trio - Bum Bum (1983)	The front-cover shows the well known German dominatrix Domenica Niehoff.
78rpm-maniac 25th Nov 2021		12" Single The Alan Parsons Project - Lucifer (1979)	This is the EMI-Electrola pressing of the Lucifer 12-Inch record. Softcover.
