Billy Two 8th Oct 2014		12" Single Various Artists - Gatecrasher: Global Sound System (2000)	I reckon these are good here, as they are literally packs of 12"'s. I wouldn't kick up fuss if they were also found on LP World, though - such is the messy and disorganised nature of life. Yes, Earthspark please do feel free to add any similar packages here.
Billy Two 30th Aug 2014		12" Single Blowpipe - Prop (1996)	Despite the hand numbering on some of these sleeves that point towards it being a run of only 25 (my copy is 8/25) there would appear to be many more than that in circulation. There's a seller on Discogs who says he has 26/50, but even if it were only an edition of 50 then there are quite a few in open circulation. I haven't ever seen a finished copy, so maybe there were only white labels made and the full release was cancelled ?
Billy Two 26th Aug 2014		12" Single Gene Vincent - Sunshine (サンシャイン)	Looks like this originates from Israel rather than Japan, but we'll fly the skull'n'cross bones flag in honour of it's 99.9% certain bootleg status. Any more info on this would be greatly welcome...
Billy Two 25th May 2014		12" Single Paris Featuring Dead Prez And Public Enemy - Freedom (Radio Mix) (2003)	The Works in Sutton Coldfield is a gift and novelty outlet. It looks like they did a run of 12" vinyl clocks and applied their own label to one side of the vinyl they used. As a result, their label isn't of any real interest to us. So this should be a Guerrilla Funk release (US) with cat# GF-1007 - have altered accordingly.
Billy Two 27th Feb 2014		12" Single Jeff Lynne - Every Little Thing (12" Remix) (1990)	Cheers, Malc - changed to W9799 (T).
Billy Two 21st Feb 2014		12" Single Sigue Sigue Sputnik - Love Missile F1-11 (Extended Version) (1986)	It's Neal "X" Whitmore - SSS guitarist.
Billy Two 17th Jan 2014		12" Single ACR - I Need Someone Tonite (1983)	Hi Paul, Thatsunday's entry here came first, (entered Jan13, opposed to your June13) so I've moved it all over to this one. Thanks for flagging it up... BT
Billy Two 25th Oct 2013		12" Single Ramones - Rockaway Beach (1977)	Two people having bought it in the UK could be a coincidence, but it's odd that Discogs lists a Belgian pressing but no UK pressing, and three of the four currently listed on ebay are touted as Belgian (the fourth one doesn't say and has no label picture). This does point towards the Belgian pressing being used for the UK (possibly EU-wide) issue. At the very least a UK pressing would look to be very rare !! I'd be happy to see this left as a Belgian issue, but also have a UK entry with Notes stating that it was commonly available as a Belgian pressing.
Billy Two 25th Oct 2013		12" Single D.A.F. - Brothers (Robert Gabi's Mix) (1985)	I've linked DAF and D.A.F. to Deutsch Amerikanische Freundschaft, with a "See Also" note...
Billy Two 19th Sep 2013		12" Single Hagar The Womb - The Word Of The Womb (1984)	Hagar The Womb went on to form We Are Going To Eat You. There were recently a few HTW reunion gigs, though I don't know whether that was a one-off or a longer term idea...
Billy Two 9th Aug 2013		12" Single The Highliners - Double Shot (Of My Baby's Love) (1988)	Cheers, CoS - do you know if the B-side is Come Dancing, or Double Shot ?
Billy Two 7th Aug 2013		12" Single The Highliners - Double Shot (Of My Baby's Love) (1988)	Had a couple of slightly confusing Corrections entered for this - can anyone tell us whether this 12" has two tracks or three, what they are, and which sides they're on ?!
Billy Two 6th Aug 2013		12" Single Add N To (X) - Little Black Rocks In The Sun (1998)	I was undecided whether to leave Side Two blank or not, as you could argue that this isn't a one-sided record. The B-side groove has been cut so as to run for a good 20 mins, with care taken to include groove "variation", as if you were looking at a cutting of an actual piece of music. The label however is blank, and there's no reference to it having ever been considered "a track", so instead of getting too clever about it I guess it's best to leave it out. Interestingly pointless !
Billy Two 5th Aug 2013		12" Single Sweet - Sweet 2th (1985)	Hi harrisgame, Thanks for the submission note about the country of release for this record... The "Made In France" is common for Anagram/Cherry Red releases at this time, and is in no way an indicator of the actual country of issue - we would consider this a UK release (please check label scans of other "UK" entered issues...). However, if you could give us a scan of the French language inner sleeve then that might help decide if this was in fact also a French/EU issue. Cheers for your input :-) BT
Billy Two 5th Aug 2013		12" Single Various Artists - Guess Series Volume Two (2000)	I've gleaned the first track artist from Discogs, but even there there's a blank on the name of the second track artist. I've edited as appropriate, but if anyone has firmer details, please let us know !
Billy Two 4th Aug 2013		12" Single Sandie Shaw - Please Help The Cause Against Loneliness (1988)	Nice work everyone ! Let's try and catch up with CD singles ;-)
Billy Two 2nd Aug 2013		12" Single Various Artists - Spike Milligans Tape Recorder (1986)	Sorted. The Legend! is Jerry Thackrey - aka writer Everett True, the man credited with being responsible for inventing Kurt Cobain in the UK.
Billy Two 31st Jul 2013		12" Single The Smiths - William, It Was Really Nothing (1984)	Nov '87 ? I'm for it having a separate entry - despite the cat# & tracklist being the same, I think the changed cover would lead Smiths collectors to consider it as a "different" release...
Billy Two 29th Jul 2013		12" Single Frankie Goes To Hollywood - Two Tribes (1984)	ZTT, with Island as "Other Label", maybe ? I've altered it to this, but if anyone feels differently, do say...
Billy Two 22nd Jul 2013		12" Single Marillion - The Great Cucumber Massacre (1983)	Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm, and indeed hmmm. And for good luck, thrice hmmmm. You could also point out that the bottom line of the "45r.p.m." on image 1 lines up with the top of the "f" of the "of" in rim blurb "...owner of the recorded work...", whereas on image 2 the "45r.p.m." lines up with the "o" of the "of". But, uh-ho...hang on there...on my copy the 45 r.p.m. lines up with the "r" at the end of "...owner..."...and so on and so forth. Minute differences like this are caused by an ineviatable microshift in the process of printing - I think most people would rather we saved variations for differences in typesetting/typeface/altered wording etc, otherwise we could easily end up with literally thousands (no exaggeration here) of "variant" images !! However, An6y66, you do undoubtedly win this months award for Most Ardently Eagle-Eyed Marillion Obsessive ! ;-D
Billy Two 21st Jul 2013		12" Single Marillion - Punch And Judy (1984)	Black labels seem to have come in around early '84. The majority of Punch & Judy's are cream, though I don't recall ever seeing a cream Assassing. The black labels for MSHs / He Knows / Garden Party would have been repressings to cope with demand after Marillion's continued success with the Fugazi album...
Billy Two 21st Jul 2013		12" Single Marillion - The Great Cucumber Massacre (1983)	Must admit I'm struggling to see the difference here !
Billy Two 15th Jul 2013		12" Single The Times - Manchester (1990)	Sorted.
Billy Two 11th Jul 2013		12" Single Various Artists - Be Stiff Tour (1979)	More probably happens on this site between 9.00am and 9.30am than the rest of the day put together !
Billy Two 11th Jul 2013		12" Single Various Artists - Be Stiff Tour (1979)	We log on at the same time every morning, don't we N ! I've sent Admin another reminder about this...
Billy Two 10th Jul 2013		12" Single Capleton - The Red (1991)	Nice one ! I'll see what I can get from that...cheers ! BT
Billy Two 10th Jul 2013		12" Single Capleton - The Red (1991)	Hi Redpunk, Could the B1 track be "Foot Patrol" (by Peter Metro) ? Are the A2 and B2 tracks versions of the vocals ? Also, would it be possible to get the deadwax on this and check it's JA ? Cheers ! BT
Billy Two 9th Jul 2013		12" Single Marillion - Heart Of Lothian (1985)	Yr OK, An6y66 - though the scans a bit blurred, that looks like a typical mid 80's EMI sticker.
Billy Two 21st Jun 2013		12" Single Crass - The Feeding Of The Five Thousand (1978)	Hi Paul, There's been a mod discussion about this one, and it's generally agreed that it shouldn't be here but needs to wait for the LP World to come along. We know that it's 45rpm and is called an EP, but the fact it's 35 mins long with so many separate tracks means that it crosses even the loosest borderline we've had in place on 12"World (there were a couple of Chiswick 45rpm LP's we deleted a few months ago for the same reason). Sorry about that - you obviously spent quite a bit of time entering it ! BT
Billy Two 12th Jun 2013		12" Single The Church - Remote Luxury (1984)	Hi JJJ, Changed this to a NZ release - it had it's own Aus release on Parlophone... BT
