Focus B 23rd Nov 2023		12" Single Blur - There's No Other Way (Extended Version) (1991)	Sleeve and labels uploaded. Side B label gives reference to Parlophone Records.
Focus B 6th May 2023		12" Single The House Of Love - Never (1989)	Promo copy uploaded. Housed in a die cut Fontana sleeve.
Focus B 5th May 2023		12" Single The House Of Love - Shine On (1990)	This was also available in stock copy form.
Focus B 1st Apr 2023		12" Single Age Of Chance - Playing With Fire (Firestarter Mix) (Vocal) (1990)	Demo issue uploaded.
Focus B 3rd Mar 2023		12" Single Various Artists - Earcom 1 (1979)	Thanks Paul. I probably had the Human League Flexi in mind!
Focus B 3rd Mar 2023		12" Single Various Artists - Earcom 2 (1979)	I wonder how Fast were able to include a couple of Joy Division numbers. They are amongst the best tracks the band put out. Hearing them again 44 years later has re-awakened my interest in the band.
Focus B 28th Feb 2023		12" Single Various Artists - Earcom 1 (1979)	I'm confused. Is The Products - Fresh an additional track on a flexidisc? This is missing from my copy.
Focus B 15th Aug 2022		12" Single Melt - Neverland (1991)	Group were previously known as We Are Going To Eat You.
Focus B 12th Aug 2022		12" Single We Are Going To Eat You - Heart In Hand (1988)	Made in France.
Focus B 11th Aug 2022		12" Single We Are Going To Eat You - Ride Upon The Tide (1989)	Great outfit who couldn't possibly record a bad song. Could have become the Blondie of the '90s.
Focus B 11th Aug 2022		12" Single We Are Going To Eat You - I Wish I Knew (1987)	Images uploaded.
Focus B 30th Jul 2022		12" Single Cabaret Voltaire - Three Mantras (1980)	Uploaded label without reference to the 33 1/3RPM playing speed. Same both sides.
Focus B 22nd Mar 2022		12" Single Spit The Pips - Up A Gum Tree (1990)	Also contains single sided A4 lyric sheet. Not uploaded for copyright issues and personal address information.
Focus B 3rd Mar 2022		12" Single Daryll-Ann - I Could Never Love You EP (1994)	I picked up a 12" white label demo housed in an incorrect sleeve. Usual black die cut but the sticker on the front is wrong. Clearly not the record I expected it to be, but checking the inner groove matrix confirms the record above. What a pleasant surprise. Never heard of this outfit before, but this is rather good!
Focus B 1st Mar 2022		12" Single The Motors - Airport (1978)	Looks like they used up the special labels designed for the debut album and Dancing The Night Away12" on earlier pressings.
Focus B 1st Mar 2022		12" Single Sp!n - Scratches (In The Sand) (1990)	Labels uploaded. Also the sleeve variation which takes on an orange rather than pink theme.
Focus B 18th Feb 2022		12" Single Ghost Dance - Celebrate (1989)	Also available as a 12" picture disc.
Focus B 1st Feb 2022		12" Single That Petrol Emotion - Hey Venus (Mad Thatcher Disease Mix) (1990)	Uploaded missing rear sleeve and labels.
Focus B 31st Jan 2022		12" Single The Wild Poppies - Out Of Time (1989)	Improved image of the front sleeve uploaded.
Focus B 24th Jan 2022		12" Single Inspiral Carpets - Find Out Why (1989)	B1 recorded Live by Nick Garside at Square One, June 1989. Plays at 33 1/3rd RPM running at nearly 17 minutes!
Focus B 20th Jan 2022		12" Single Ned's Atomic Dustbin - Happy (1991)	I thought that MM, but the catalogue number and barcode are identical. I would have thought the barcode at least would have differed had it been a re-issue? Interestingly this 12" is listed as Sony Soho Square on Discogs, but the images show the same rear sleeve, track order and Furtive labels as the copy I've uploaded here!
Focus B 18th Oct 2021		12" Single Top - She's Got All The World (1991)	Sleeve, labels and missing info submitted.
Focus B 29th May 2021		12" Single Cabaret Voltaire - Here To Go (Extended Mix) (1987)	Just picked up a demo white label copy. Has Cabaret Voltaire on the A side, B side label totally blank. No song titles anywhere. Identified by the inner groove matrix number.
Focus B 2nd May 2021		12" Single Ride - Play (1990)	Picture sleeve uploaded.
Focus B 13th Mar 2021		12" Single The Brothers Johnson - Strawberry Letter 23 (1977)	Same edited version as the 7"? Not uncommon with some early 12" 45s.
Focus B 25th Feb 2021		12" Single The Motors - Dancing The Night Away (1977)	I've avoided buying this one as a protest as to why the 12" is an edited version. The album version is 6 minutes so why they've edited 30 seconds out is a mystery. 44 years later curiosity got the better of me. I'm pleased it's reasonably intact as the start and instrumental sections omitted from the 7" are my favourite moments.
Focus B 10th Jan 2021		12" Single Kraftwerk - Neon Lights (1978)	Black vinyl copies exist of this too. Reportedly very rare however.
Focus B 22nd Dec 2020		12" Single Television - Little Johnny Jewel Parts 1 And 2 (1979)	Not an easy one to find nowadays. Having lost my original copy I managed to get an affordable copy recently, albeit with a damaged sleeve. The A side label is poor too, but the condition of the vinyl is very good. Some front sleeves have a sticker to the right of the group photo, "19 Minutes of music for £1.49". Hopefully, someone can upload a better condition sleeve and A-side label.
Focus B 10th Oct 2020		12" Single Snuff - Flibbiddydibbiddydob (1990)	The tracks not listed on the sleeve are the adverts, that are indeed very short. Then, had Snuff covered, "Free Bird" it wouldn't have lasted much longer than two minutes!
Focus B 4th Oct 2020		12" Single Rods - Do Anything You Wanna Do (1977)	Perhaps this needs to be listed under Rods?
