annaloog 25th Dec 2024 | | BookDon Strack - Union Pacific Locomotive Directory 2000 | Is the date here 2000, or 2007-2012 as shown on the image?
|
annaloog 12th Dec 2024 | | BookIan Mackintosh - The Sandbaggers | It's been a few decades since I watched this series on American TV, but as I recall I rather enjoyed it.
|
annaloog 27th Nov 2024 | | MagazineAnalog | ?? I don't doubt that this issue is vol. 94, but for Roman numeral "CXLIV" I get 144; 94 in Roman numeral should be "XCIV".
|
annaloog 25th Nov 2024 | | BookIan Simmons - The Fortean Times Book Of Life's Losers | I don't recall seeing the ad for this, not surprising though, after some 28 years. If I can find them, I'll go through my 1996 FT issues. I have a couple of other books in this series, which IIRC came as a bonus with the magazine.

annaloog 14th Nov 2024 | | BookTerry Wilson - Let It Be: The Making Of The Beatles' Final Album | Thanks, I had thought of that - both entries indicate paperback.
|
annaloog 14th Nov 2024 | | BookTerry Wilson - Let It Be: The Making Of The Beatles' Final Album | Is this a duplicate entry?

annaloog 2nd Nov 2024 | | Vinyl AlbumSandy Denny - Gold Dust |
Quote:
All Record Store Day releases are international and ....
This is not entirely true. RSD's lists do identify some titles as "Regional Focus".
If Fokeman wants to change the flag to International, I have no objection.
|
annaloog 2nd Nov 2024 | | BookElisabeth Sanxay Holding - Net Of Cobwebs | I found a copy of this some years ago at a Goodwill thrift bookshop, complete with dust jacket, though the laminate is peeling a bit. Not many of these early Bantam paperbacks had these DJs; my 1982 Hancer price guide identifies less than 10 of them.
|
annaloog 2nd Nov 2024 | | Vinyl AlbumSandy Denny - Gold Dust | The label and sticker images were scanned from my copy, which I purchased on 23 Apr 2022 in Nashville, TN, and is thus a USA release (it was among the few remaining items, and the only LP I considered worth the sticker price). It was also listed as a US release (4500 copies available) for 2022 by recordstoreday.com.
Considering that the disk was manufactured in Czech Republic I would expect that copies were also available for sale in Europe for RSD, but I don't know that for certain.

annaloog 29th Oct 2024 | | 12" SingleDuran Duran - Hungry Like The Wolf | Already listed?
mod edit: entries combined

annaloog 26th Oct 2024 | | TVThe Twilight Zone (1959 - 1964) |

... "....he wouldn't know a periodic table from a time table....!!...."
Episode: O.B.I.T. from 04-November-1963
(O.B.I.T. [Outer Band Individuated Teletracer] )....
A bit late to the party, but I suspect that this comment refers to The Outer Limits (original series).

annaloog 24th Oct 2024 | | BookCaptain W. E. Johns - Worrals Flies Again | I'd think that the 'real' authorship of, say, Mark Twain is fairly well known. That of, say, Carolyn Keene *, Saki, or Charity / Lee Blackstock (among many others), not as well known. Sometimes, it's a matter of how far the book uploader is willing to go to research the author, though I'd expect it's much easier to accept the book-in-hand at face value. Eventually, given time, patience and enough prodding, the better-known authors and their pen names will be assembled together.
* H'mmm, no BBcode link for pen names.
|
annaloog 24th Oct 2024 | | BookStorm P. - 155 Av Storm P:s Bästa | "Storm P." appears to be a pen name for Robert Storm Petersen.
|
annaloog 23rd Oct 2024 | | Vinyl AlbumThe New Christy Minstrels - Today | Same as CL 2159? ... different cover graphic.

annaloog 23rd Oct 2024 | | BookCaptain W. E. Johns - Worrals Flies Again |
Quote:
... I was told 10 years ago we use real name and then indicate pen name in the appropriate field - with no exceptions.
The guide to adding books (also) states, Do please add books using a single canonical version of an author's name, even if there is a variation of the name on the book cover. The name could be that which the author is best known, or how the author is referred to on Wikipedia, eg D. H. Lawrence, William Shakespeare, Margaret Atwood. [my emphasis]
The problem I see with using the "real name" (as here) is that it is not always obvious, and it's far easier to use the pen name, since that is ordinarily on the cover or title page. The copyright holder sometimes, but not always, is the author's real name.
|
annaloog 19th Oct 2024 | | TVThe Larkins (1958 - 1964) | I found a number of episodes from seasons 1-3 online (as mp4 files) ... rather mild humor from the few I've watched (my digital TV tuner accepts USB drive input). I may yet burn to DVD.
|
annaloog 15th Oct 2024 | | Vinyl AlbumCarlos Barocela - Tu Nombre En La Arena | Liner notes in Spanish, this release presumably was aimed at the Latin market.
|
annaloog 14th Oct 2024 | | Vinyl AlbumVarious Artists - What's Shakin' | Images of the inserts are available on the US stereo entry (linked below). I don't know whether UK copies came with different inserts.
|
annaloog 10th Oct 2024 | | Vinyl AlbumVarious Artists - 20 Spotlight Hits | This appears to be record 1 of a multi-record set - compare with the stereo version.
|
annaloog 8th Oct 2024 | | Vinyl AlbumRatt - Detonator | Aren't record club issues entered separately?
|
annaloog 27th Sep 2024 | | 12" SingleAnita Baker - Giving You The Best (Edit) | The label for this Specialty test pressing has been changed from Epic to Elektra. Full cat. no. should be "ED 5331" (split on the label forms between 'Acct.' and 'Rec. No.').
|
annaloog 25th Sep 2024 | | Vinyl AlbumChicago Transit Authority - Chicago Transit Authority | Thanks, TheDroid, that would appear to explain the situation.
|
annaloog 22nd Sep 2024 | | Vinyl AlbumChicago Transit Authority - Chicago Transit Authority | Had this originally been planned as two single disk albums? I note the disparity between the two disk numbers, CS 9809 and CS 9836, and the two sets of matrix numbers.
|
annaloog 20th Sep 2024 | | BookClifford Knight - Death Of A Big Shot | My copy is an ex-library copy, the dust jacket of which apparently had been discarded except for a clipping of the plot synopsis (presumably from one of the flaps) which had been pasted on the first page.
|
annaloog 7th Sep 2024 | | BookBill Strutton - Doctor Who And The Zarbi | That was my take also ... I have moved the images of several different (mostly undated) printings of the Signet Bored Of The Rings to separate entries once I found enough info. to distinguish them.
|
annaloog 6th Sep 2024 | | BookGene Wolfe - The Island Of Doctor Death And Other Stories And Other Stories | Not credited on this edition, the cover painting artist is Don Maitz.
|
annaloog 5th Sep 2024 | | BookPiet Prins - Scout: The Secret Of The Swamp | In response to a correction request, the English language translation shows the book's title in English, corresponding with the cover image. The "English title" field shows the original publication's Dutch title.
|
annaloog 2nd Sep 2024 | | BookBram Stoker - Dracula's Guest | ?? Publisher should be Arrow?
|
annaloog 31st Aug 2024 | | BookGene Wolfe - The Shadow Of The Torturer | The cover painting is the same as for the Timescape hardcover edition, attributed to Don Maitz.
|
annaloog 29th Aug 2024 | | BookGene Wolfe - The Sword Of The Lictor | The cover graphic features a detail from the Timescape hardcover edition's painting, attributed to Don Maitz.
