BiggieTembo 11th Apr 2015		12" Single Crazyhead - What Gives You The Idea That You're So Amazing Baby?	Scans added. Tracks on Side-B label are ass-about-face - the record plays as listed above, with Out On A Limb coming before Snake Eyes.
BiggieTembo 11th Apr 2015		Cassette Album Echo And The Bunnymen - Songs To Learn And Sing	Whaddya know! Just read here that the cassette I've got with the 4 extra tracks IS a UK version of this Cassette after all! Thanks Cam!
BiggieTembo 11th Apr 2015		Cassette Album Echo And The Bunnymen - Songs To Learn And Sing	Good point Cam, but it's completely the same as the inlays and cassette labels here, UK Code 13, BIEM/GEMA on the labels, the difference being the addition of text on the inlay's front panel: "-Includes- 4 Extra Tracks" and of course the 4 extra songs info on the inner and their correponding titles on the cassette labels. It's even got the same screws on Side B of the cassette shell, and the circle mark(?) in Side 2's cassette shell window... (You'll see when I get it uploaded). Fascinating.
BiggieTembo 11th Apr 2015		Cassette Album Echo And The Bunnymen - Songs To Learn And Sing	Ok Cam I'll give it a go. I was thinking that there may be a conflict in the system if I enter an item with exactly the same reference details as an existing one. I can see by your T-Rex example it is possible. Thanks for your tip, Bigs
BiggieTembo 10th Apr 2015		Cassette Album Echo And The Bunnymen - Songs To Learn And Sing	Hey Mods, I have a copy of this cassette, with two extra tracks on the end of each side. The tricky thing is that it is identical to this entry, re. cat no, and all other reference numbers. I'd love to upload it, but how? Please advise... BigT
BiggieTembo 10th Apr 2015		Cassette Album The Beatles - Please Please Me	Light/creme coloured tape shell, with pink ink, which according to this dates from c. 1983-1985. Track listing follows the UK 8-Track Cartridge running order.
BiggieTembo 10th Apr 2015		Live Music Blonde Redhead @ Store Vega	All done Auto - Stor Vega now added - thanks for the help - it was easy like you said ;-) BigT
BiggieTembo 10th Apr 2015		Live Music Blonde Redhead @ Store Vega	Would love to, Auto, but I can't seem to figure out how to change just a venue without making a whole new entry... Can you advise? Ta, Bigs
BiggieTembo 10th Apr 2015		Live Music Stephen Malkmus And The Jicks @ Lille Vega	A good, lengthy gig. Although the E-Ticket displays the typeface for their Mirror Traffic LP, many of the songs came from the following Wigout At Jagbags LP. During the encore, the gig diverged into a medley of improvised cover versions which included many Pavement numbers. A couple links 1 and 2 on You Tube for your aural pleasure
BiggieTembo 10th Apr 2015		Live Music Blonde Redhead @ Store Vega	Venue moved from Lille Vega (Small Vega) to Stor Vega (Large Vega) due to popular demand (apparently... but the place was only half full). Blonde Redhead were touting the release of their LP Penny Sparkle. A disappointing gig. The artists seemed to be taking themselves too seriously. Support came from a band called Porcelain Raft, who were so good, they (to quote Spike Milligan) "left an indellible blank on my mind."
BiggieTembo 20th Jul 2014		Vinyl Album Blondie - Parallel Lines	With hats off to pantsman and camshaft, I've added some 800x800 images of sleeve and labels (85335 - 85338). The A-side is A5, but the B-side is B3. Note the Buddy Holly song on Side 2, Track 5 is published by MPL Communications - McCartney owned the Holly catalogue at the time of the 5th issue, and the label has the credit change from the first issue accordingly ;-) Plain white paper (like thin "paper bag" paper) inner sleeve for this one - no lyric sheet like UK or Germany... :(
BiggieTembo 9th Jul 2014		Vinyl Album Julian Cope - Saint Julian	Uploaded scans of LP covers (respect is due nboldock), inner and labels.
BiggieTembo 9th Jul 2014		Vinyl Album Julian Cope - Saint Julian	Released in a thickened cardboard sleeve, with 4-page black & white paper insert, as well as a black paper polylined inner sleeve.
BiggieTembo 4th Jul 2014		Vinyl Album Leadbelly - Good Night, Irene	Thanks for your prompt reply Magic, Mmmm... Interesting... I'll investigate and report back if anything crops up ;)
BiggieTembo 4th Jul 2014		Vinyl Album Leadbelly - Good Night, Irene	Hey Magic Marmalade! What does the dead wax say? Sometimes the dead wax tells if the tracks came from Moses Asch's masters, or Stinson's masters (the aluminium, acetate and other master discs were split between them after they parted ways...)... Many of the Stinson Masters were also direct transfers from the 78s and therefore were slightly dull-sounding...
BiggieTembo 4th Jul 2014		Vinyl Album The Rolling Stones - Emotional Rescue	Distributed by EMI Records. Came with a large, matt paper, double-sided, colour, 10 x LP-sized fold-out poster, displaying more of the Thermographic photos of the band.
BiggieTembo 3rd Jul 2014		Vinyl Album Paul Weller - Stanley Road	Also released as a limited edition box set of the whole LP on 7" singles. I have this issue, and a very nice package it is too, but am unsure of which website/category I can upload it: Vinyl Albums or 45cat... Or both? It is an LP, just issued on 7"s (like the old days when loads of 78s in a collection was called an "album"). Then again it's also a 7" box set. I vouch for both. Any comments out there?
BiggieTembo 30th Jun 2014		Vinyl Album Rolling Stones - Dirty Work	Came also in red plastic shrink-wrapping (which made the cover look alot better ;-) and with a large sticker.
BiggieTembo 30th Jun 2014		Vinyl Album The Rolling Stones - Gimme Shelter	The 80s re-issue on the back cover doesn't list the Decca address next to the logo, and the labels have a slightly higher ring-rim around the outer edge. The same cover issue also came with a record having Decca re-designed Silver/Blue/Red/White-labels in the mid-80s too. See "Label Design 12 & 13" here
BiggieTembo 24th Jun 2014		Vinyl Album The Velvet Underground - White Light / White Heat	Note: back cover spells "Here She Comes Now" as "Her She Comes Now". Also issued with a standard-80s-era Polydor red-colured label.
BiggieTembo 17th Jun 2014		Vinyl Album Joe Loss And His Orchestra - Dancing Time For Dancers Number Eight	Is that Joe Loss on the cover - or Bela Lugosi?
BiggieTembo 30th May 2014		Vinyl Album That Petrol Emotion - Babble	Mine came with a bonus "Big Decision" 10" single (see sticker scan)
BiggieTembo 19th Mar 2014		Vinyl Album Rolling Stones - Let It Bleed	Hey Nicoldo - thanks for this - I got this record in Bath, UK, some time around 1990, from a stall in the regular Saturday antique market off Walcot Street. The guy who ran the record stall had a shop in Warminster called Drastic Plastic. This cost me £3. Like my other purchase that day - The Beatles' "Beatles For Sale" - the cover for this one is not card at all, but a thicker paper. The sleeve has been re-drawn and translated into Russian, and the vinyl - again, like my Beatles For Sale - the vinyl weighs about ½ a kilo and is as thick as a plank of wood! The sound is also superb - sounds brand spanking new, which was a great antidote to all those very worn, muddy-sounding UK copies that were circulating around that time. There is a slight drop-out in the sound, for about a second, during the middle of "Monkey Man", but otherwise perfect.
BiggieTembo 19th Mar 2014		Vinyl Album The Beatles - Beatles For Sale	Hey I got this LP too! I bought it in Bath, UK, mid-90s, from a stall in the regular Saturday tram shed market off Walcot Street. The guy who owned the stall had a shop in Warminster called Drastic Plastic. Seriously, I got so many great records from there! This cost me £3. I have no idea how he came to have it. The cover for this one is pretty thin paper - not card at all, but the vinyl... it's heavy as hell! It must be 500g or something - it weighs a ton! The sound knocks seven bells from any Parlophone or EMI original OR repressing as well - it's so warm and smooth.
BiggieTembo 3rd Sep 2014		CD Single Madonna - Die Another Day (Radio Edit)	According to this the issue uploaded here is in fact the German issue (Catalog number: 9362 42494-2, not W595CD1) and was only released there, not throughout the whole of Europe. The UK version (Cat no. W595CD1, not 9362 42494-2), is very similar (same tracks), but has a promo sticker on the case, a "gatefold" inner (as opposed to the German issue's "single sheet" inner) and the disc is made by Disctronics. See here for more details... Pretty confusing, I know - as both UK and German issues have the same barcode - but crucially the German issue does not have the W595CD1 reference. Suggest therefore a change of classification from Europe to Germany..., and the removal of Cat. no reference W595CD1, for the sake of good order...? ... And yes... I know it's got an HMV price sticker on it in Pounds Sterling, but HMV could have imported a German issue to cover demand in the UK (I recall in the early 90s the Oxford Street store in London had US Tori Amos CD singles on the display racks, among other goodies...) ...Discuss...
BiggieTembo 9th Jul 2014		CD Single U2 - Electrical Storm (William Orbit Mix)	Added scan (44054) of CD inlay front with promo sticker on sleeve (originally I think it must have been on the CD case - it seems like it's been removed and re-applied by the previous owner - thus saving it for our eyes, and posterity, for ever!). For the record, the CD with this issue was "Made in Germany by Universal M & L" ;-)
BiggieTembo 6th Jul 2014		CD Single U2 - Discotheque	Scans added (43727-43730) of "regular" CD single inlay (i.e. - non-digipak - just a regular thin, transparent plastic CD single case). CD "Manufactured in France by PMDC" but other wise the CD image is the same as 20701, and the inlays and printing are exactly the same, albeit in a different packaging format.
BiggieTembo 17th Jul 2014		12" Single U2 - One	Double matrix number on dead-wax, plus French inner sleeve - could this be made in France, destined for the UK? And the stroke-through "M" - the cutter's logo?
BiggieTembo 17th Jun 2014		12" Single Anastacia - I'm Outta Love (Hex Hector Main Club Mix)	Not only Out Of Love - but Out Of Clean Clothes aswell!
BiggieTembo 30th May 2014		12" Single That Petrol Emotion - Big Decision (Extended Version)	Got mine free as a bonus disc with the Babble LP, 1987 (see sticker scan)
