Bill Fick 26th Oct 2014		Vinyl Album The Rolling Stones - Big Hits (High Tide And Green Grass)	Earliest pressings of this LP cover have a totally different style of printing on the front...
Bill Fick 26th Oct 2014		Vinyl Album The Rolling Stones - The Rolling Stones	I always wondered why the earliest pressings of this (which is the one I have, deep maroon "ffrr" label) were pressed in the UK & then shipped to the US?
Bill Fick 25th Oct 2014		Vinyl Album Elvis Presley - Burning Love And Hits From His Movies Vol. 2	Due to Tom Parker's penchant for grabbing a quick buck, I believe that this was the first time that a current Top 10 hit was released on a budget-label LP...
Bill Fick 22nd Oct 2014		Vinyl Album Elvis Presley - Pot Luck	1st pressing cover had the RCA "Nipper" logo on the front. Stereo pressings had RCA's "Living Stereo" moniker in the upper left-hand corner.
Bill Fick 19th Oct 2014		Vinyl Album Elvis Presley - Elvis' Gold Records Volume 4	Yes, this & "Speedway" (both from '68) are his 2 rarest mono LP's, both go for tons more money than the stereo versions. I have a US mono pressing of this also...
Bill Fick 19th Oct 2014		Vinyl Album Iron Butterfly - In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida	I had a very strange pressing of this LP at one time. Yellow label (just like the one pictured), but Side 2 was banded exactly like Side 1, looking like there were 5 tracks on each side. At first, I thought it was a factory mis-print, & somehow, Side 1 got pressed on both sides of the record. But when I played it, Side 2 played "In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida" all the way through, regardless of the banding. Damnedest thing I'd ever seen...
Bill Fick 18th Oct 2014		Vinyl Album The McCoys - Hang On Sloopy	Would anyone happen to know what album the "long" version of "Sloopy" (with the extra verse) is on? It's not on this one...
Bill Fick 17th Oct 2014		Vinyl Album The Highwaymen - The Highwaymen	1st cover does not have the blurb about "Michael" on the front...
Bill Fick 17th Oct 2014		Vinyl Album The Fleetwoods - The Fleetwoods Greatest Hits	This mono pressing has the full version of "The Great Impostor", whereas the stereo pressing doesn't...
Bill Fick 17th Oct 2014		Vinyl Album Arlo Guthrie - Alice's Restaurant	1st pressing is on the multi-colored label.
Bill Fick 23rd Sep 2014		Vinyl Album Nancy Sinatra - Nancy In London	My copy has a sticker on the front cover that says, "Includes 'Summer Wine' "...
Bill Fick 22nd Sep 2014		Vinyl Album Nancy Sinatra - Boots	This, "Sugar" & "Whipped Crean And Other Delights" by Herb Alpert & the TJB have to be 3 of the hottest '60s-era US LP covers ever...
Bill Fick 6th Sep 2014		Vinyl Album John Sebastian - Cheapo-Cheapo Productions Presents Real Live	Great live album. John solo with mostly just a guitar & not much else. Pretty low-key, has some intimacy to it, like John could be playing at your private party or something.
Bill Fick 6th Sep 2014		Vinyl Album The Knack - Get The Knack	I believe that this was the first Capitol LP I came across with the resurgence of the old "rainbow" label.
Bill Fick 2nd Sep 2014		Vinyl Album Bill Haley And The Comets - Rock With Bill Haley And The Comets	23skidoo, are the Quality & Paragon pressings US releases also?
Bill Fick 2nd Sep 2014		Vinyl Album Johnny Cash And June Carter - Carryin' On With Johnny Cash And June Carter	Re-issued in the early '70s with a different cover, same cat #. And with good reason. On the original cover, John looks like a refugee from Dachau. This was in 1967, when he'd almost bottomed out from the pills. Album was re-titled "Jackson".
Bill Fick 2nd Sep 2014		Vinyl Album Johnny Cash - Mean As Hell!	Single LP pulled from the 2-LP set, "Ballads Of The True West".
Bill Fick 2nd Sep 2014		Vinyl Album Johnny Cash - Ride This Train	1st pressings came with a paper insert with liner notes penned by Merle Travis.
Bill Fick 2nd Sep 2014		Vinyl Album Johnny Cash - Now, There Was A Song!	1st pressing (mono & stereo) on the "6-eye" label. Interesting LP, one of the few occasions where you'll hear Cash with a traditional C&W backing of fiddle, steel guitar & honky-tonk piano. "Transfusion Blues" is "Cocaine Blues" toned-down slightly, & the only song on this LP with a boom-chicka-boom arrangement. Would've been a better B-side than either "Seasons Of My Heart" or "Honky-Tonk Girl" (which were issued as B-sides in 1960).
Bill Fick 29th Aug 2014		Vinyl Album Ike And Tina Turner - River Deep	I guess the original pressing of this (1966, on Philles, only a handful of records pressed, no covers pressed at all - to my knowledge) is supposedly worth a small fortune.
Bill Fick 27th Aug 2014		Vinyl Album The Smothers Brothers - Play It Straight	They "play it straight" until the last track on Side 2.
Bill Fick 27th Aug 2014		Vinyl Album Charlie Rich - Behind Closed Doors	Also released in Quadrophonic.
Bill Fick 22nd Aug 2014		Vinyl Album Edward R. Murrow And Fred W. Friendly - I Can Hear It Now	I have 3 volumes of this series. Was that all that were made?
Bill Fick 20th Aug 2014		Vinyl Album The Beatles - "Yesterday"...And Today	Yes, I own it, but obviously not with this cover (I wish!)... I see that this cover is still in the shrink-wrap. One of the "Livingston Butchers", perhaps?
Bill Fick 20th Aug 2014		Vinyl Album Various Artists - She's The Most / Itsy Witsy Bitsy Me	Issued by Capitol Records? Looks like almost all Capitol artists to me.
Bill Fick 20th Aug 2014		Vinyl Album The Beach Boys - Pet Sounds	Listening to this LP in duophonic is like getting ear cancer... Mono all the way for this one!!!
Bill Fick 20th Aug 2014		Vinyl Album Bert Kaempfert And His Orchestra - A Swingin' Safari	This was released in the US on Decca, titled "That Happy Feeling" with different cover art.
Bill Fick 19th Aug 2014		Vinyl Album John Zacherle - Monster Mash Featuring John Zacherle	This came out when I was a little boy, & just the cover alone scared the living hell out of me...
Bill Fick 19th Aug 2014		Vinyl Album The Smothers Brothers - It Must Have Been Something I Said!	I believe the original issue date was 1965...
Bill Fick 17th Aug 2014		Vinyl Album Paul Simon - The Paul Simon Song Book	Only have this on a CD-R (with an alternate take of " A Church Is Burning" & the 45 take of "I Am A Rock" as bonus tracks), but I think it's a great album.
