[no artist listed] - SpaceSounds
I accidentally hit return while entering, so some info got left off (but has been submitted to the mods). The most notable thing about this is it is a 10-inch Eva-Tone flexi. I've never encountered one before. And it's sleeved, too, which is doubly unusual for a flexi. It appears to have been distributed through the National Geographic magazine, but must have been a special order item as it's too big for the magazine to have bundled like they used to do with posters and maps. I have scans of the label too but can't upload them till I get to my work Mac where I can crop them properly.

Bill Haley - Rock Around The Clock
In the 1980s RCA scored some hits by taking vocal tracks from old Elvis recordings and putting them over newly recorded backing (the albums Guitar Man and Rocker, specifically); this was decades before the "remix" trend that saw Elvis score even more hits, but it was basically the same idea. Kenny Denton, who produced Haley's final album in 1979 for Sonet Records, attempted to do the same thing by taking vocals Haley recorded at a 1968 recording session and putting them onto new backing. There are in fact about three or four different versions of the Shake, Rattle and Roll redub, some of which Denton later issued on his independently made CD, The Journey to Fame. EDIT: Error on co-writer credit for A1 on label: should be "De Knight." A surprising error given Sonet released the song a number of times.

The Timelords - Doctorin' The Tardis (Radio)
Right now only Chinn and Chapman are listed as composers, however the label also credits the composers of the Doctor Who Theme and Rock and Roll. Correction submitted.
