Apollo59 16th Aug 2017		12" Single The Jam - 4 Side Affects (1980)	The Jam just weren't good enough and I never bought their records. I and all my friends at the time regarded them as a band that all the little yobs liked (which they did) and nobody I knew bought them either. I suppose it depended where you came from and from where and whom you got your influences, but The Jam just weren't cool at all. Although The Jam were more or less my age, it was kids several years younger who bought their records. We just looked, listened and laughed.
Apollo59 30th Jul 2017		12" Single Patti Smith - Gloria In Excelsis Deo (1977)	Yes, it's the sort of bag a grocer's shop would have used in the days before plastic bags.
Apollo59 28th Jun 2017		12" Single The Rolling Stones - Mixed Emotions (Chris Kimsey's 12") (1989)	Some copies with reversed labels
Apollo59 23rd Mar 2017		12" Single The Who - Substitute (1976)	I'm A Boy is the 2nd re-recorded in stereo 3m 40s long version otherwise available on the Meaty Beaty Big & Bouncy LP & CD.
Apollo59 15th Mar 2017		12" Single The Who - Substitute (1976)	Focus B: Is duophonic another term for 'electronically enhanced'? Whatever it is, I've never quite understood why they did this as it sounds so weak. I'll have to get a mono copy of Pictures and been meaning to for about 40+ years!
Apollo59 12th Mar 2017		12" Single Yes - Owner Of A Lonely Heart (1983)	1st pressings: side B with Red And Blue Mix typed above OOALH
Apollo59 12th Mar 2017		12" Single The Who - Substitute (1976)	Focus B: Yes, it was the first. Pictures Of Lily might not sound quite as good as an original single (I don't have one) as they lost the master tape and have used a copy master for every re-release since then.
