Billy Two 24th Feb 2015		Live Music Procol Harum @ Winterland	It wasn't a particularly serious suggestion. I agree that Floyd not playing can be mentioned in Notes - I've already done this on a number entries I've added so far.
Billy Two 24th Feb 2015		Live Music Guided By Voices @ The Fillmore	Nope, they've gone again !!
Billy Two 23rd Feb 2015		Live Music Procol Harum @ Winterland	So perhaps this event should be Unicorned !?
Billy Two 23rd Feb 2015		Live Music Procol Harum @ Winterland	"The Pink Floyd's remaining gigs should have been on 9th November at the Fillmore and 10 and 11 November at The Winterland on a triple bill with Procol Harum and H.P. Lovecraft. But Andrew King, in despair, had decided to cut their losses and leave California. None the less, superb posters remain of the phantom gigs, sadly reminding us of how what should have been the Pink Floyd's moment of triumph turned into one of epic defeat." Lost In The Woods pp.202 (Julian Palacious 1998)
Billy Two 14th Feb 2015		Music Memorabilia [none] - Marquee Privilege Card	I used to have a red one of these - entitled you to 50p off on most shows !! I think it's lost now...probably washed in the pocket of a denim jacket at some point. Still have a pile of the badly folded badly photocopied A4 gig lists, though...
Billy Two 14th Feb 2015		Music Memorabilia Deep Purple - Concert Tour Programme	I'm impressed you managed to salvage them from the mudbath carnage that Knebworth '85 became !
Billy Two 8th Oct 2014		Music Memorabilia Guided By Voices - Key Fob Bottle Opener	Key ring. Well used. The second I've owned - the first one wore out. [YouTube Video]
Billy Two 8th Oct 2014		12" Single Various Artists - Gatecrasher: Global Sound System	I reckon these are good here, as they are literally packs of 12"'s. I wouldn't kick up fuss if they were also found on LP World, though - such is the messy and disorganised nature of life. Yes, Earthspark please do feel free to add any similar packages here.
Billy Two 7th Oct 2014		Music Memorabilia Iron Maiden - Trooper	Yeah, it's an OK ale. I first came across it at a gig last year, and came home with all the empties I drank stuffed in my bag. I kept them for a couple of weeks until I found they were on sale at Morrisons (at a third of the price). I bought my brother a Trooper beer pump sign for his kitchen tap as an xmas present. There are beer mats, bar towels, glasses, so here's a thought...should they all be linked ?! Morrisons have also started stocking a Madness beer, and I know Rush have one as well...I guess it's all actually a bit passe now.
Billy Two 16th Sep 2014		Vinyl Album Genesis - Nursery Cryme	I could listen to the whole album on repetition for a day and not get bored, but it's worth considering the wonderment of the oft overlooked "Harold The Barrel". It's pure Gilbert And Sullivan Operetta, fully formed and scripted, time changes and moodswings abounding, yet squeezed into the dimensionally defying time of 3 minutes ! A milestone in theatric UK Prog. [YouTube Video]
Billy Two 11th Sep 2014		Vinyl Album The House Of Love - The House Of Love	"Hanah" on my one.
Billy Two 3rd Sep 2014		Vinyl Album Various Artists - Amnesty International Proudly Present The Secret Policeman's Ball ~ The Music	There really is no right or wrong on this. It's an album that's been marketed as a 12", so both sides are correct.
Billy Two 3rd Sep 2014		Vinyl Album Various Artists - Amnesty International Proudly Present The Secret Policeman's Ball ~ The Music	I'd agree it ought to stay here. The 12" Cat# was possibly used purely to enforce and emphasise the budget price of the record ? Anyhow, it's pretty certain that 8 track / 34min records on 12" World would only lead to future strife !!
Billy Two 28th Aug 2014		Vinyl Album The Wailers - Burnin'	The sleeve image for this JA issue was directly lifted from the US Smash release, even down to keeping the Smash cat# SMAS-9338 in the top front right corner and spine, with only "Printed by Jamaica Times (Press) Ltd" added to the back bottom corner to show the difference.
Billy Two 18th Aug 2014		Vinyl Album Iron Maiden - Iron Maiden	Certainly sounds as likely as anything...
Billy Two 17th Aug 2014		Vinyl Album Iron Maiden - Iron Maiden	Record Collector Price Guide has for many years listed this album as having had a poster with it, though having never seen or even heard of anyone ever owning one I must say I'm dubious of it's existence. Maybe confusion with the Japanese 4 page insert ?
Billy Two 15th Aug 2014		Vinyl Album Yello - Stella	I'm guessing this is in fact the 1988 EU reissue ! I've editied the date accordingly...
Billy Two 14th Aug 2014		Vinyl Album Van Der Graaf Generator - The Least We Can Do Is Wave To Each Other	I'm trying to work out if the early "wide spine" copies of this were originally meant to be light blue, or whether I just have a couple of sun bleached spines. Anyone else got a wide spine edition they can compare with ?
Billy Two 25th May 2014		Vinyl Album The Rolling Stones - The Rolling Stones	Added scans of unboxed Decca labels with "(Get Your Kicks On) Route 66" credit. Matrix : XARL-6271-1A XARL-6272-4A
Billy Two 17th Jan 2014		Vinyl Album Robyn Hitchcock 'n' The Egyptians - Queen Elvis	[YouTube Video]
Billy Two 16th Jan 2014		Vinyl Album Marillion - Real To Reel	Though '85 is most likely it'd be best to leave it until we're certain of a date, rather than risk future accusations of making stuff up !
Billy Two 16th Jan 2014		Vinyl Album Marillion - Real To Reel	I can only guess that due to the probably unexpected size of success of Misplaced Childhood, EMI saw a chance to cash in on this album by quickly reissuing it in a slightly cheaper package which would draw in the many new fans the band had made in '85 as well as double selling to the rabid collector element of their fanbase. Possibly.
Billy Two 16th Jan 2014		Vinyl Album Marillion - Real To Reel	No, the Fame label was around from the early 80's onwards but was strictly a reissue label. This album was reissued a surprisingly short time after the original...as far as I can tell under a year, but I couldn't say for certain. Typically for a budget reissue label it didn't included a printed inner sleeve.
Billy Two 16th Jan 2014		Vinyl Album Marillion - Real To Reel	Townhouse is (was ?) a mastering and cutting studio : see here...
Billy Two 25th Oct 2013		Vinyl Album Half Man Half Biscuit - 90 Bisodol (Crimond)	Oh no. Really. Oh, how disappointing...and I'd thought... Saw HMHB last week. Brilliant they were. Descent Of The Stiperstones : [YouTube Video]
Billy Two 25th Oct 2013		Vinyl Album The Birds - These Birds Are Dangerous	JJJ, I don't think it's totally fair to say your entries were "mostly"rejected - surely it's only three or four that were queried ? And that was when 12" World was just starting out and everyone was trying to find agreeable parameters...we all had entries put before "The Board" and rejected (me included). Adding Guidelines For 12"World : "If it's 45rpm and under 25 minutes playing time then it's nearly always classified as a single or EP and is admissable (on 12" World)." I think we've tried to be as consistent as possible on 12" World, but it really isn't an exact science. ps. I agree there's something to be said for the suggestion of having all 12" formats in the same place !!
Billy Two 25th Oct 2013		Vinyl Album Cranium Pie - Mechanisms Pt.1	Bona fide modern day prog/psych classic ! [YouTube Video]
Billy Two 25th Oct 2013		Vinyl Album Half Man Half Biscuit - 90 Bisodol (Crimond)	Track 4 written by Henny Wassenaar and Corien Steenstra. From the album sleeve notes : "The original version of this song was entered into a competition to celebrate the arrival of the 2010 European Korfball Championships in Leeuwarden, Netherlands (it came second but in the words of the town mayor Ferd Crone - "it should have won and as a consequence of it not doing so I have much spite towards the victor")."
Billy Two 25th Oct 2013		Vinyl Album The Birds - These Birds Are Dangerous	I would've done this as a 12"EP. Anyone else wanna vote ?
Billy Two 25th Oct 2013		Vinyl Album XTC - Drums And Wires	There was also a free 7" with the first run. Have added info to Notes.
