BEATLEJOHN 14th Jan 2021 | | MagazineLife | My "Mutts"...John
|
BEATLEJOHN 12th Jan 2021 | | MagazineTV Guide | Besides this lone ad on the back cover, I have never seen a Philip Morris cigarette brand called Paxton...John
|
BEATLEJOHN 30th Dec 2020 | | Vinyl AlbumVarious Artists - 20 Heavy Hits | OMG!....I had this album in the "Wayback" years....and until I saw the cover, I had totally forgotten about it!.....I remember at the time wondering who the heck is Ricardo Ray????...John
|
BEATLEJOHN 17th Dec 2020 | | MagazineTV Guide | I suppose they didn't "Hold for customer"....and somehow I got a hold of it!...John
|
BEATLEJOHN 8th Dec 2020 | | MagazineNew York Journal American TV Magazine | The ad on the back cover of this has to be seen to be believed....I'm sure they were banned pretty quickly....maybe not!...John
|
BEATLEJOHN 2nd Dec 2020 | | Vinyl AlbumThe Beatles - Introducing The Beatles [Version Two] | Though there are many to be uploaded!..This release quite easily has the most label variations of any record in the data-bank issued within a 12-month span....John
|
BEATLEJOHN 2nd Dec 2020 | | Vinyl AlbumThe Beatles - Introducing The Beatles [Version One] | A good friend of mine has a most unusual stereo variation of this...Stereo Third cover with titles / Brackets logo label with Love Me Do / P.S. I Love You.....The vinyl plays Ask Me Why / Please, Please Me!...The matrices NEVER changed between the two vinyl versions of the albums, so it's easy to see why the pressing plant had a mix-up! (also if there's one out there, I might assume there's another 100/200 out there!?!?)...John
|
BEATLEJOHN 2nd Dec 2020 | | Vinyl AlbumThe Beatles - Introducing The Beatles [Version One] | Tried to put the cover and label information into some kind of semblance of order...(even though volumes and websites are dedicated to this purpose)...Between Vee-Jay's hurry to get this out -and- Capitol's court injunctions, there are too many anomalies to list here (and on the subsequent issues...monaural and stereophonic!)...John
|
BEATLEJOHN 26th Sep 2020 | | Vinyl AlbumThe Beach Boys - Pet Sounds | Technically an error on the cover....a 1966 Capitol album would have a "New And Improved Full Dimensional Stereo" banner not the older 1962-65 version!...John
|
BEATLEJOHN 14th Sep 2020 | | Vinyl AlbumSupertramp - Indelibly Stamped | Okay...I give up...Same gatefold jacket...same label...same cat number.....why separate entry???
|
BEATLEJOHN 27th Jun 2020 | | Vinyl AlbumBee Gees - Idea | Steve Carp...I wish you would listen,,,, the singles over here (US) have true mono mixes...The song "Idea" would be the biggest give away ( You hear whistles at the beginning after the piano,,,It's a mono mix)....John
|
BEATLEJOHN 15th Jun 2020 | | Vinyl AlbumElvis Presley - Elvis Is Back! | Motley 101....Changed date to 1960....Even though your copy is an orange label from 1969 it still uses it's original catalog number and configuration!...John
|
BEATLEJOHN 15th Jun 2020 | | Vinyl AlbumVarious Artists - Phil Spector's Christmas Album | It's true stereo...It's been my "playing copy" for awhile now!...John
|
BEATLEJOHN 21st Jul 2019 | | Vinyl AlbumGenesis - A Trick Of The Tail | This is actually a US release....all MFSL (Mobile Fidelity) issues are pressed in Japan....Changed...John
|
BEATLEJOHN 21st Jul 2019 | | Vinyl AlbumThe Turtles - Wooden Head | Okay..the Roulettes version of I Can't Stop is from June 1966 (I don't see any US release)...so the song may very well have been a Bones Howe production and recorded for Late 1966...John
|
BEATLEJOHN 18th Jul 2019 | | Vinyl AlbumThe Beatles - The Beatles' Story | Won't allow me to add in record notes...
-- All promotional covers drilled in corner with either PROMO -or- PROM
-- First press mono covers have upper right corner catalog number ending one inch from end of cover. Later pressings move catalog number close to edge.
-- All pressings (Scranton, Los Angeles and Decca) are configured 1/4//2/3, except for RCA pressings, which are configured 1/2//3/4.
-- Monaural pressings discontinued from catalog 1968.
|
BEATLEJOHN 8th Jul 2019 | | Vinyl AlbumThe Rolling Stones - The Rolling Stones | I believe (though it's not really documented) that the stereo issue of this album was issued (I would guess) around the time of Aftermath 1966...There are no flat paper stereo covers nor have I ever seen a stereo cover with the "Free Full Color Photo" box - or - the "Start A Stones Fan Club" blurb on the back....Any thoughts...John
|
BEATLEJOHN 6th Jul 2019 | | Vinyl AlbumThe Beatles - Introducing The Beatles | Added labels for what is an actual mono boot...I didn't bother to add the cover, (no stereo banner) it's so well reproduced the average fan wouldn't be able to tell the difference!!!..you can see the blue in Ringo's eyes!...But the label isn't as sharp...and the title and artist are split (and it's flexible!)...John
|
BEATLEJOHN 6th Jul 2019 | | Vinyl AlbumThe Beatles - File Under: Beatles | Added images of what I would call the "Budget" version (or say, a boot of a boot!)...John
|
BEATLEJOHN 3rd Jul 2019 | | Vinyl AlbumThe Beatles - Help! | The asterisk indicates an Capitol, LA pressing....interesting!....John
|
BEATLEJOHN 30th Jun 2019 | | Vinyl AlbumThe Beatles - Help! | rob2553...it's also not pressed by Capitol...The wide ring seems like a Columbia pressing and it may have "Mastered by Capitol" in the run out groove...John
|
BEATLEJOHN 28th Jun 2019 | | Vinyl AlbumThe Zombies - Odessey And Oracle | Mr. Lobbers...That's a Columbia printers mark..(my copy doesn't have it, some copies might have a heart shape)...W.B.lbl might have more insight as to what it means....John
|
BEATLEJOHN 26th Jun 2019 | | Vinyl AlbumBruno Lorenzoni Et Son Orchestre - Bruno Lorenzoni Et Son Orchestre | Millie was a model for two years before acting...they may have grabbed an old stock photo for the cover!?!?
|
BEATLEJOHN 26th Jun 2019 | | Vinyl AlbumThe Beach Boys - American Summer | Added alternate set of labels without Indianapolis, Ind.........John
|
BEATLEJOHN 17th Jun 2019 | | Vinyl AlbumThe Beach Boys - Do You Wanna Dance? | The gentleman on the cover in the red shirt was their guide/driver while they were in Mexico.
- John
|
BEATLEJOHN 16th Jun 2019 | | Vinyl AlbumThe Beatles - Abbey Road | The cover is Canadian....the labels are from the USA....John
|
BEATLEJOHN 14th Jun 2019 | | Vinyl AlbumThe Beach Boys - The Beach Boys' Christmas Album | Added side one Jacksonville label.....unfortunately there's two side one labels on my album...John
|
BEATLEJOHN 12th Jun 2019 | | Vinyl AlbumThe Everly Brothers - Two Yanks In England | A US stereo cover on a UK mono entry...rockintc strikes again!!
|
BEATLEJOHN 12th Jun 2019 | | Vinyl AlbumThe Everly Brothers - Christmas With The Everly Brothers And The Boys Town Choir | Another US cover
|
BEATLEJOHN 12th Jun 2019 | | Vinyl AlbumThe Everly Brothers - It's Everly Time | I'm seeing a mono US cover,,,in fact it's a copy of 55 Bluesmans image!!!
