Various Artists - The Most Collection (Volume 2)
Volume 1 was obviously the 'heavy artists' and this last volume featured the lighter 'pop' end of the spectrum.

Donovan - Donovan's Greatest Hits
I've yet to find a copy without the 'Stereo NSPL' oversticker on the back cover, masking the original 'Mono NPL' printed there - suggesting that issuing this album in stereophonic (albeit 'fake stereo') rather than the monaural format was a last-minute decision.

Unless it was a printing error and all jackets were always intended to be stereo. No mono copies of this disc have ever been listed in Pye's trade catalogue(s) for the year.

Donovan - Donovan's Greatest Hits
So instead of it being called, Donovan's Greatest Hits, it should've been titled
The compiler's Greatest Favourites from the Donovan Canon.


Indeed so - or "Donovan's US Hits (Plus Two New Re-Recordings)". Ironically, the new versions of Catch The Wind and Colours would, in a later era, undoubtedly be used as a 'selling point'!.

Maddy Prior - Woman In The Wings
Rollercoaster is accidentally referred to by its original title of Supper Song, when listed against the musicians playing on it in the credits on the lyric inner sleeve. This was either the card inner itself or a paper lyric insert. My copy came with both!

Maddy Prior and Georgia Syncopator (UK edition) replaced here by Frankie Miller and Supersnatch. Full composer names given too, as against initial-and-surname of British pressing. A 'g' added to Country Cookin' and various '??' and '!' omitted from this version.

Tim Hart And Friends - Drunken Sailor And Other Kids Songs
Front of cover has (presumably originally assigned, before re-numbering) catalogue number MFP 5635, as does spine. Back cover and labels use the new, elongated MFP 41 5635 1 number. Run-out area has the latter machine-stamped.

Spine has 296064-425 as number. Note also that all songs on Side One label have a single 'Trad' to cover 'em all, whereas Side Two appends {trad.) after each applicable song.

The late Tim Hart was responsible for the sleeve notes (and whatever he was smoking!)

Steeleye Span - Tempted And Tried
The dullest, most unimaginative, no-thought-at-all labels and back cover. When you think of the artistic glories of, say, the classic green/orange butterfly Chrysalis design (sigh).

Steeleye Span - All Around My Hat
Just noticed how the spine has 'All A Round My Hat' on it!

Also, does anyone know the purpose of the mysterious small black star right at the top of the spine (above the CHR 1091 catalogue number)?

Alan Caddy Orchestra And Singers - Twelve Top Hits
Just noticed how the top of the spine says 'Golden Hour GH 523'! How bizarre! (Also has LP title at middle ad Avenue number AVE 092' at the bottom.

The British release for Pye's budget-price series was a Various Artists compilation, The Hitmakers Present A Golden Hour Of The Best Of The Beatles Songs. In Germany, it was a Man compilation. I've come across/seen many mislabellings/mispressings before but a 'mis-spining' or 'dual spining' is a first. Presumably a consequence of both being pressed by Pye but still very odd.

Donovan - Live In Japan Spring Tour 1973
Puzzled as to why all the extras I've added have been hidden? Thought the idea was to have a complete record of any issue? Obviously not, then! And WHY have the two labels I carefully cropped to circles, as per 45 Worlds preferred style, been completely removed? I'm sure some Mod can give me a good answer......

Now added all the extra bits mentioned below, plus a translation of the sleeve notes kindly provided by a Japanese friend.

Sure someone clever can 'stitch' together the images, which were too big to be scanned in one go by my scanner.

And yes, the inner gatefold 'on stage' photograph really is that blurry!

Donovan - Live In Japan Spring Tour 1973
Mine came with obi strip, lyric sheet (Japanese/English) and Donovan-cartooned white paper inner. At time of purchase - Christmas 1975 in Virgin Megastore, Marble Arch, London - this was by a long, long way the most expensive vinyl disc I'd ever bought. Albums were still only about £3.50 then and this cost me £25.00! (My weekly wages were only £35.00, to put it into proportion). Didn't regret the expense, though.'
