Problem Child 12th Feb 2024		12" Single Ian And The Blockheads - Hit Me With Your Rhythm Stick (1978)	I just read in an old copy of 'Record Mirror' that the 12'' was being released on the 12th Jan' '79. Maybe they got the info slightly wrong and were referring to the 2nd pressing? My copy is in a plain black die-cut inner and the 'Hot Biscuit' sleeve and has the 'number one... no less' etched in the run-off groove.
Problem Child 8th Nov 2021		12" Single Coach Party - After Party (2021)	Second release by up and coming Isle of Wight band. 6 track 10'' EP on yellow and black splatter vinyl, in a black die-cut inner sleeve. Scans to follow.

Problem Child 23rd Jun 2020		12" Single Coach Party - Party Food (2020)	Info and images added for debut release for Isle of Wight band. Release was scheduled for Wednesday 10th June, but moved to Friday 12th. These are the best images I can manage for the present, I've tried but others weren't as good... Limited to 220 copies. Two week after release it is sold out and reportedly going on eBay for £50!
Problem Child 14th Jun 2020		12" Single Slade - Six Of The Best (1980)	I have this down as being released on 13th June... Not sure where I got that from now, maybe 'New Singles'/Music Week. But I probably got it the week it was released, though I do think there was a delay in it arriving in the shop. Mine still has the 'Our Price Records' (Tottenham Court Road) sticker on it, for £1.39P.
Problem Child 24th May 2020		12" Single Plastic Mermaids - Dromtorp (2014)	Info added. Limited to about 300 copies or less. First release by popular up and coming Isle of Wight band, who released their first LP in 2019. VERY rare record! Images now added from Photos kindly supplied by Andy Barding.

Problem Child 30th May 2019		12" Single Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds - Wait And Return EP (2019)	Record info added. Got this from the US, but I think all record info will be the same as UK, apart from the bar code maybe.
Problem Child 20th Mar 2019		12" Single Catherine Wheel - Delicious (1997)	Release date added, reached No. 53 in the charts. Came with large record label like card, complete with center hole, to join mailing list.
Problem Child 24th Apr 2018		12" Single Rolling Stones - Sex Drive (Club Version) (1991)	Info added. Can't see this record on here, so... Bought this in Tower Records, Piccadilly Circus in late '91, and kept it in their clear plastic sleeve for protection. I always thought it was a foreign release (- has made in Holland on label), I remember something about it - was it banned?! Has just 'Rolling Stones' on label and sleeve - not 'The R S ... If in wrong place - can a mod please move to where it should be. Just seen US promo version, CAS 4051, which has same style sleeve, but not label - mine has the standard yellow.
Problem Child 24th Apr 2018		12" Single Sheila And B. Devotion - Spacer (2018)	Info added. Will try and add photo one day. Picture, on both sides of disc, is same as original UK picture sleeve, taken by Benjamin Auger, Paris Match/Scoop.
Problem Child 21st Apr 2018		12" Single David Bowie - Let's Dance (Full Length Demo) (2018)	Record Store Day info added. Comes in a plain black poly lined inner sleeve. I'm still unable to scan for sometime, sorry, but if anyone fancies doing the honours - feel free. Like the David Bowie RSD cat number!
Problem Child 19th Dec 2017		12" Single The Sex Pistols - Submission (1984)	Also released in White vinyl. I think the release date may be October or November '84.
Problem Child 30th Nov 2016		12" Single The Motors - Dancing The Night Away (1977)	Excellent! Pure class - great on 12''.
Problem Child 30th Nov 2016		12" Single Crisis - On T.V. (1980)	Label images added. I didn't get a cover with this, reduced price because, so no more info other than what's on the label available. Like an LP. but a 12'' 45 rpm record. Only saw them once, a year before hand, a bit more lively than this record though.
Problem Child 30th Nov 2016		12" Single The Cortinas - Defiant Pose (1977)	Images uploaded. I've also included part of the sleeve to give an idea of appearance. If a mod thinks this should be hidden, then...
Problem Child 4th Oct 2016		12" Single Spear Of Destiny - Strangers In Our Town (Extended Version) (1987)	This single reached No. 49 in the charts, I presume it applies to this as well as the 7''.
Problem Child 3rd Oct 2016		12" Single Spear Of Destiny - Strangers In Our Town (Extended Version) (1987)	Promo labels and letter added - Damn! I've just realised... this needs its own entry, sorry mods, another job for tomorrow. Comes in a gate-fold type sleeve, with small pocket for record and letter.
Problem Child 23rd May 2016		12" Single The Cortinas - Defiant Pose (1977)	Label is same as 7'' version. Comes in pink die-cut 12'' sleeve with 'Limited Edition' in white angled in top left corner and has Faulty Products, Dryden Chambers, Oxford Street address on back. Will try and scan when I'm back up and running.
Problem Child 16th May 2015		12" Single Rolling Stones - Miss You (1978)	Cover is nigh on same as UK version but is side opening and made same as LP sleeve.
Problem Child 15th Mar 2015		12" Single Slade - Cum On Feel The Noize (1982)	Release date from 'Music Week' at the time added.
Problem Child 25th Nov 2014		12" Single Theatre Of Hate - The Hop (1985)	According to my info, this came with a T-shirt.
Problem Child 18th Nov 2014		12" Single David Bowie - Sue (Or In A Season Of Crime) (2014)	Record Images and sleeve now uploaded here. 10'' record in a Retro style sleeve. I did my best trying to fit it on but the edges are missing, it will do for now until someone can do it better another way.
Problem Child 4th Mar 2014		12" Single Slaughter And The Dogs - It's Alright (1979)	I had made a note on my inner sleeve that this was recorded on 1st May '76.
