Lee Wrecker 9th May 2017		12" Single David Bowie - No Plan EP (2017)	Nod to nboldock for putting up the original shots but I've added bigger scans of the Cover and Cover Sticker for moderation, shuffling into place or hiding. I'll send a correction.
Lee Wrecker 5th May 2017		12" Single David Bowie - No Plan EP (2017)	Righto nboldock, I've finally got some scans in. Added USA Back Cover, USA Label A, Dropcard (front and back) and had a crack at the etched B side but it didn't work out great because ICE didn't take to it to well. Anyway there's something up now so that's a start.
Lee Wrecker 5th May 2017		12" Single David Bowie - No Plan EP (2017)	nboldock, my copy has eventually arrived and it is indeed a USA made version with the same cat#s, label and barcode so I think we'll both need to scan the back covers and labels to complete this entry as the European and USA releases do have differences in those regards. I'll do mine up when I get it off the turntable. Still makes me sad to hear Bowie though maybe one day I'll come to terms with it and I never even met the bloke.
Lee Wrecker 22nd Apr 2017		12" Single David Bowie - No Plan EP (2017)	The site that shall not be named has all three versions of this release European, UK, USA with the same details and also the clear vinyl issue with slightly different details in terms of cat#, barcode, release date, plus label and they were all printed and manufactured in Europe by the look of it too. I think this will need to become International before more entries arrive. My USA released copy is resting at a Globazon facility in Chattanooga but I'll have it by next week to compare it with this but my suspicion is that this one will end up international.
Lee Wrecker 21st Apr 2017		12" Single David Bowie - No Plan EP (2017)	Hi nboldock, my copy will be coming from the USA in the next week it'll be interesting to see if it's a USA pressing or the same as this. You never know these days.
Lee Wrecker 8th Apr 2017		12" Single The Dickies - Paranoid (1979)	"You Drive Me Ape (You Big Gorilla)" is my favourite Dickies song. It's a great punk song that transports me back to that time every time I hear it. A classic stupid arsed punk rave up.
Lee Wrecker 30th Mar 2017		12" Single Blondie - Hanging On The Telephone (1979)	Hey YankeeDisc you're right. I'll request a correction on the errant links. What had been tidied up here was the images there were many doubles etc. The fact that this Australian version has Hanging On The Telephone as the lead track rather than Sunday Girl might also explain why it was released one year later than others. Strange that Sunday Girl wasn't released here in the same form as those other releases.
Lee Wrecker 29th Mar 2017		12" Single Blondie - Hanging On The Telephone (1979)	Well done to the Mod that fixed up this page. There were a lot of errant images and doubles on this entry but now it looks great. Thanks to who(m)ever was responsible.
Lee Wrecker 19th Mar 2017		12" Single Peter Tosh - (You Gotta Walk) Don't Look Back (1978)	Linked all three versions of this but I'm not sure about the one from the Netherlands. Could it be slightly different? I'm not sure or is it just the packaging and blurb that are a different?
Lee Wrecker 9th Mar 2017		12" Single Bryan Ferry - Windswept (1985)	Thanks Apollo59 I've amended my review to reflect the facts in your comment.
Lee Wrecker 8th Mar 2017		12" Single Graham Parker And The Rumour - The Pink Parker (1978)	Thanks Droid my copy is badly foxed but my record is is in excellent shape which is the main thing. How did you get this one in the States??
Lee Wrecker 26th Feb 2017		12" Single Tubes - White Punks On Dope (1977)	Also released as a 7" listed on 45cat.
Lee Wrecker 26th Feb 2017		12" Single Blondie - Hanging On The Telephone (1979)	Thanks, Vinyl Junkie I've sent a correction and a request to tidy up the images on the page.
Lee Wrecker 23rd Feb 2017		12" Single Blondie - Hanging On The Telephone (1979)	The sleeve and label on my copy definitely says 1978 and 1979 so shouldn't 1979 be the correct date on this one? Incidentally, that goes for all countries issues of this EP as well as far as I can see. I think the French version of "Sunday Girl" was published in 1979 not "I Know But I Don't Know" as it indicates on this copy. Both "Hanging On The Telephone" and "I Know But I Don't Know" are from the 1978 album "Parallel Lines" so "78 is right for them. Anyway, I'm of the opinion that these EPs should all be changed to 1979 what do other people think?
Lee Wrecker 20th Feb 2017		12" Single T. Rex - Deep Summer (Instrumental) (1982)	Admittedly Marc Bozzo's (see label) Oh Baby is not his best work but it's a kinda cute though it's extremely repetitve, "Oh baby baby, oh baby baby Oh baby baby, Ahhh I want you for my woman" representing most of the lyrics. A once rare T. Rex track but now it's been re-released to death. Given the stuff Monolith (et al) has contributed to this site I find it hard to believe anything by Marc Bolan could be rare anymore.
Lee Wrecker 19th Feb 2017		12" Single Blondie - Hanging On The Telephone (1979)	Added a full set of scans for Moderation they are all bigger than those already posted some maybe not better but they are BIGGER.
Lee Wrecker 17th Feb 2017		12" Single Bruce Springsteen - Tougher Than The Rest (1988)	Burn all your denim anyway it's is an instrument of the Devil. You know as well as I do velvet is the way to go in these troubled times.
Lee Wrecker 25th Jan 2017		12" Single Bauhaus - Telegram Sam (1980)	Added cover shot for moderation (can't piece the back cover together with ICE) and clean but variant label scans. All with respect to Auto-da-fa for doing the initial entry. Yes I had to hunt it down after I heard it again and I'm happy now.
Lee Wrecker 18th Jan 2017		12" Single Nanker Phelge [The Rolling Stones] - Schoolboy Blues	This would have come out between 1977-79 and according to Discogs the label was "One of the many 'faces' of prolific bootlegger Vicky Vinyl* [aka Andrea Waters] - ex partner to John Wizardo. (aka Wizardo Records)* whose labels also included Dragonfly Records (2), Slipped Disc Records (Skeleton logo), Duck, EEC, Idle Mind Productions, Inc. (aka 'IMP', with Eve & Apple logo [not to be confused with IMP of The Impossible Recordworks]). See also Mushroom Records (7) (Mushroom Cloud logo) and Rolling Stones specialist Label R.S.V.P. Rolling Stones Vinyl Product. The 'Ruthless Rhymes' issues appeared between 1977 & 1979."
Lee Wrecker 4th Jan 2017		12" Single Sneaker Pimps - Post Modern Sleaze (Phunk Force Mix) (1997)	Yes, Magic these 33 rpm singles were a DJ's nightmare. Wurrrh, they went as they slowed down and people on the dance-floor burst into laughter. Fortunately, for me though I was renowned for my sloppy style and people just thought was doing it on purpose. One of my favourite things to do was play about 15 secs of a popular song of the day, kill it dead on the turntable mumble some profanities about it on the mic and chuck the crap on the dance-floor to be stomped to bits. "Do The Dog" by the Specials was a particularly good song for this.
Lee Wrecker 31st Dec 2016		12" Single Nanker Phelge [The Rolling Stones] - Schoolboy Blues	The labels here would seem to indicate that this is a German pressing but all of the Ruthless Rhymes labels were in fact pressed in the USA. Perhaps deliberately printed this way to avoid the law and enable the albums to be sold as imports and avoid any copyright concerns the local cops (if you're English read constabulary, Australian read pigs) may have. Regardless, the source of this bootleg is the USA and not Germany as it would appear at first glance.
Lee Wrecker 30th Dec 2016		12" Single The Cramps - Gravest Hits (2016)	Added 2016 reissue and linked to UK and USA original releases.
Lee Wrecker 17th Dec 2016		12" Single Lou Reed - Street Hassle (1978)	No Jasper, but Lady Wrecker is a mighty fine woman and not to be trifled with and even though I hadn't met her at this time I hope she doesn't see that earlier comment or there could be trouble man - well for this man, anyway.
Lee Wrecker 17th Dec 2016		12" Single Lou Reed - Street Hassle (1978)	I used to have this one once but gave it away to pretty girl. It turned out to be a good deal and even better, I still have both the albums these tracks were taken are from. Win, win, win.
Lee Wrecker 15th Dec 2016		12" Single The Cramps - Gravest Hits (1979)	Maybe the band is half-way through Surfin' Bird it is a bit of an endurance test.
Lee Wrecker 14th Dec 2016		12" Single Sam Moore And Lou Reed - Soul Man (1986)	This one just doesn't come off for mine. A bit like some of the mismatches on the Gorillaz Plastic Beach in that the pairing of artists don't quite come off even though everyone involved is fabulous in their own right. I'm sure some people love it though - I have the 45 and keep just to play it for a laugh sometimes. About once decade.
Lee Wrecker 25th Nov 2016		12" Single The Rolling Stones - Miss You (1978)	Linked Canadian, Italian and USA releases to this primary entry.
Lee Wrecker 17th Oct 2016		12" Single Graham Parker And The Rumour - The Pink Parker (1978)	Well, the colour is right VJ - I might have another crack at it when I catch up with the rest of my life which seems to have run off a breakneck speed to extremely busy land. Hoping to get some time for the site in the coming week.
Lee Wrecker 10th Oct 2016		12" Single Nanker Phelge [The Rolling Stones] - Schoolboy Blues	Hey Magic, I think it was more a confidence thing, Loog Oldham forced the Stones to write their own stuff but they weren't so cocksure (he,he) of their ability in the early days. The story goes that the Nanker/Phelge moniker was coined by Brian Jones and used for songs that were written the by the Stones as a collective. To confuse the issue further some songs originally issued with the Nanker/Phelge credit have subsequently been released as Jagger, Richard(s) compositions cutting the rest of the band out of the royalties. Here's a link to the Wiki page with details. Anyway, all this points to this release being a good old fashioned bootleg in that the real artist would only be known to die-hard fans and the content is genuinely rare and unusual.
Lee Wrecker 8th Oct 2016		12" Single Nanker Phelge [The Rolling Stones] - Schoolboy Blues	Review From memory these songs are demo quality studio recordings. Apparently the Stones had to cut a single in order to fulfill their Decca contract. So the Stones recorded these two numbers with lyrics that were so obscene they could never be played on radio or even released at the time. "Schoolboy Blues" later became more famously/infamously known as "Cocksucker Blues". "Andrew's Blues" is a lewd swipe Loog Oldham and Sir Edward Lewis, the then head of Decca. The song was recorded in 1964 with a drunk Gene Pitney guesting on vocals and the equally drunk Stones providing the music. Neither song is particularly great but they do have novelty value and are schoolboy risque by modern standards. So an interesting listen but not much replay value. File with the Troggs Tapes. 4 people found this review helpful. ✔︎ Helpful Review?
