Billy Two 12th Jun 2013		12" Single The Comsat Angels - Will You Stay Tonight? (1983)	Duplicate deleted, though moved your label images over, as (with due respect to Auto-Da-Fe) they were better...
Billy Two 12th Jun 2013		12" Single [no artist listed] - Special Christmas Copy	I've changed the country of release for this to Netherlands due to another record on Seducer listing the Dutch STEMRA as the publishing company. However, as an "unofficial" release it's all a bit murky !!
Billy Two 11th Jun 2013		12" Single PiL - Death Disco (1979)	Ooh ! You found a "½" symbol from somewhere !! :-)
Billy Two 10th Jun 2013		12" Single 2 Source - C'est En Toi (Smooth Mix Par 2 Source) (1994)	Cheers, Louis - changed accordingly !
Billy Two 10th Jun 2013		12" Single Dire Straits - Money For Nothing (1985)	Have edited title to reflect what it says on the label...
Billy Two 7th Jun 2013		12" Single Tigertailz - Love Bomb Baby (1989)	Hi Sapper, It's a UK release pressed in France - a common tactic for Music For Nations (and numerous other labels) at the time, probably due to cheaper costs. This Tigertailz release actually had it's own dedicated French issue - see here ... The country of manufacture doesn't necessarily equal the country of release ! BT
Billy Two 6th Jun 2013		12" Single The Joneses - Sugar Pie Guy (Club Mix) (1983)	That'll be the infamous "Promo Glitch". We've come to consider it as part of the family by now :-/ Hopefully fixed now, though ?
Billy Two 1st Jun 2013		12" Single Jah Wobble - V.I.E.P. (1980)	This looks like a classic "exception to the rule" ! It's 33rpm and 34 mins long which would usually exclude a release from this site, but as you say JJJ it was very clearly marketed as a 12" EP, even down to the pricing...
Billy Two 1st Jun 2013		12" Single Blondie - Rapture (Special Disco Mix) (1981)	There's little doubt that the paper labels are genuine, though the injection moulded labels are also full UK release. The French release has it's own cat# (PC 8664). Pressing UK releases in France to meet demand (or possibly due to cheaper costs) was a common practice for many years, and there are numerous examples of UK vinyl having the legend "Made In France" on them. It's a constant bane for these Cat sites and causes confusion on a regular basis, but the fact is that the country of manufacture does not necessarily equal the country of release. The current example of this are the many records pressed in the Czech Republic - it's cheaper, they're generally better quality than many British pressings, and will often have "Manufactured in CZ" on them...but this doesn't make them Czech releases.
Billy Two 22nd May 2013		12" Single Grandmaster And Melle Mel - White Lines (Don't Don't Do It) (U.S. Street Mix) (1984)	Thought I could just quickly add this one inbetween doing a couple of other things, but then got bogged down in trying to differentiate between the reissues, which appear to have the same sleeve and labels but different tracks and mixes !
Billy Two 15th Apr 2013		12" Single David Bowie - Fashion (1980)	Congrats, RTG - keep 'em coming !
Billy Two 2nd Apr 2013		12" Single Status Quo - Down The Dustpipe (1977)	Though cropped images are the site ideal, we'd rather have good quality scans like these than no scans at all. I didn't have an ellipse cropping facility on my PC for the first couple of years I was adding to 45Cat, so I know it isn't always possible. Basically, if you can crop, please do - if you can't, then keep 'em coming anyhow ! :-)
Billy Two 29th Mar 2013		12" Single Slade - Radio Wall Of Sound (1991)	(Sorry - I couldn't think of anything witty to say about the missing zero !!)
Billy Two 29th Mar 2013		12" Single Slade - Radio Wall Of Sound (1991)	That was one "L" of an entry, Paul ! hoho, my sides...am available for weddings, barmitzvahs and public dunkings.
Billy Two 17th Mar 2013		12" Single I Know A Gondola Punter - Oo Band Jingle Jang	Cheers, H - will alter accordingly !
Billy Two 15th Mar 2013		12" Single I Know A Gondola Punter - Oo Band Jingle Jang	Hi Henry, Are there three tracks on Side Two of this record ? BT
Billy Two 8th Mar 2013		12" Single The Soft Boys - Wading Through A Ventilator (1984)	Just given this a spin and timed it at under 18 mins - coupled with it being 45rpm, I think it just scrapes in !
Billy Two 1st Mar 2013		12" Single Chris Thompson - Bye Bye Love	I thought that could be the case...I could only find info for the 7" ! I'll add a B2 track and put a ? in place until we can find more details :-)
Billy Two 1st Mar 2013		12" Single The Moas - Spaz Out (1987)	David Pine from Sneaky Feelings on bass/vocals.
Billy Two 26th Feb 2013		12" Single Sheila B. Devotion - Spacer (Full Length Disco Version) (1985)	I see what you mean, YD... I've edited this entry to reflect it being the 1984 PRT issue (as looks like was intended), so please do add the 1979 edition. BT
Billy Two 25th Feb 2013		12" Single Atlantic Starr - Gimme Your Luvin' (1978)	FunkA&Merica was more of a series name within a label rather than an offshoot label itself, with the cat# follow the main A&M numbering system. The best thing to do with these is add it as A&M, and add FunkA&Merica as a secondary label, also making reference to it in Notes.
Billy Two 18th Feb 2013		12" Single The Kazoos Brothers - A Plate Full Of Kazoos (1979)	We'll keep it ! It isn't necessarily important if it's 45 or 33 - more concern is if it's over a certain length or was directly marketed as a mini LP...
Billy Two 17th Feb 2013		12" Single The Kazoos Brothers - A Plate Full Of Kazoos (1979)	Hi JJJ, Got the Correction you've entered about this, but it can probably stay as an EP...unless each track is particularly long ? BT
Billy Two 16th Feb 2013		12" Single The Style Council - Groovin' (1984)	Cheers - corrected !
Billy Two 14th Feb 2013		12" Single Override - The Scam (1997)	Override was a breakbeat project from Tom Withers, also known as Klute and (more surprisingly) Tommy Stupid from Stupids.
Billy Two 13th Feb 2013		12" Single Req - Subculture (1996)	It is slightly different over here than on 45Cat in that we're separating the promo's (and white labels) from the retails...so I'll do the switch.
Billy Two 13th Feb 2013		12" Single AC/DC - Rock And Roll Ain't Noise Pollution (1980)	Yeah, great stuff ! And if you can keep them as big as the back cover example, then even better... :-)
Billy Two 12th Feb 2013		12" Single Pet Shop Boys - Suburbia (The Full Horror) (1986)	Cool - all should be in order now !
Billy Two 7th Feb 2013		12" Single Buffalo Tom - Birdbrain (1990)	I couldn't agree more. They got better as they went along as well, escaping the early grunge shadow of Dinosaur to knock out album after album of straightforwardly classic US alt rock. In case you missed it, hunt down the 2010 album "Skins". Picks up from "Big Red Letter Day" territory. Great album !
Billy Two 5th Feb 2013		12" Single Madness - (Waiting For) The Ghost Train (1986)	Nice work, roboleyton ! Will get those to the front asap...
