BEATLEJOHN 19th Feb 2018 | | Vinyl AlbumThe Hollies - Here I Go Again | My Stereo copy has the text on the spine...added image....John

BEATLEJOHN 3rd Feb 2018 | | Vinyl AlbumTony Sheridan And The Beat Brothers - My Bonnie | What's unusual is in an alternate shot from this cover photo session (taken by Astrid Kirscherr)..Stu Sutcliffe is in the photo!
|
BEATLEJOHN 3rd Feb 2018 | | Vinyl AlbumThe Beatles - The Original Greatest Hits | Might be the 1st actual Beatle boot, though I think it's more from 1965...Though It says "The Beatles" nowhere on the disc or label!...It does however have the (probably off a Canadian 45) original UK (Ringo) version of "Love Me Do" (this was my original source of this version!!!)....John
|
BEATLEJOHN 3rd Feb 2018 | | Vinyl AlbumVarious Artists - The Original Soundtrack Of Mary Poppins | ...added alternate labels...John

|
BEATLEJOHN 23rd Jan 2018 | | Vinyl AlbumRaspberries - Raspberries | Anybody ever discover why a lot of Capitol Lps from mid 71 to mid 72 come with both the Lime Green and Magenta label???????? (and it's not factory based!!!!)....John
|
BEATLEJOHN 4th Jan 2018 | | Vinyl AlbumThe Beatles - From Then To You | Since the catalogue number is actually a stamper number, shouldn't it read LYN.2153/4?....John
|
BEATLEJOHN 3rd Jan 2018 | | Vinyl AlbumThe Rolling Stones - Through The Past, Darkly (Big Hits Vol. 2) | The US High Tide Lp came out before "Paint It, Black" ...you go figure it out!....Typically US LP's have 11 or 12 tracks back then......This is why hardcore US fans tried to find UK copies of most pre-1967 Lps...(Don't forget to include Canada when you're complaining about "US" formatted albums!)....John!
|
BEATLEJOHN 3rd Jan 2018 | | Vinyl AlbumThe Marcels - Blue Moon | Added 1980's re-issue, (bought at Tower!).... cover quality is good as compared to the 1961 original (no moirés, it has a spine!)..and the audio is very good (actually the 1980's vinyl is quieter than the 1961 pressing, and, of course it's a little flexible)...the only major difference is the labels.. (the 1961 pressings are one of the last Colpix Lp's to use the "old style" Red name on top labels).I really don't consider this a bootleg (though it might be???), just a faithful re-issue....John

BEATLEJOHN 26th Oct 2017 | | Vinyl AlbumSimon And Garfunkel - Bookends | My copy...(labels shown above)...
Side One: (handwritten) XLP 118885 -1C-1 and what looks like an eye symbol
Side Two: (handwritten) XLP 118886 -1C and what looks like an eye symbol
Played it again....side one crossfades are the same..."Fakin' It"..."At The Zoo"...and especially "Hazy Shade Of Winter" are the "Album" mixes........perhaps the only thing I can say is different between the mono and stereo is the EQ'ing (on the mono it seems to be EQ'd to the vocals...and not as bottom end-ish) John
|
BEATLEJOHN 24th Oct 2017 | | Vinyl AlbumNilsson - Aerial Ballet | The cover shows "Daddy's Song" yet the labels do not........the RE version has this song removed and should be a separate entry...(the labels do not show the RE)....John.
