bobzyeruncle 17th Nov 2013 | | Vinyl AlbumThe Idle Race - Light At The End Of The Road | Now I see why Jeff Lynne grew the beard. :laugh:
|
bobzyeruncle 17th Nov 2013 | | Vinyl AlbumElectric Light Orchestra - Electric Light Orchestra's Greatest Hits | Appears to be one of those 'As Seen On TV' compilations, seeing the tie-in with the Globo network.
|
bobzyeruncle 15th Nov 2013 | | Vinyl AlbumVarious Artists - How To Give Yourself A Stereo Check-Out | The inventors of this went on to create the first speaking check-out card for blind darts players.
|
bobzyeruncle 13th Nov 2013 | | Vinyl AlbumTom Lehrer - Songs By Tom Lehrer | Are the original scans actually bright red, v. the 'variants'?
The colour, if there's indeed any difference at all, seems to be the only thing I noticed.
|
bobzyeruncle 11th Nov 2013 | | Vinyl AlbumThe Beatles - Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band / Revolver | Thanks An6y66. Were these transferred from compact discs?
|
bobzyeruncle 11th Nov 2013 | | Vinyl AlbumVarious Artists - Brum Beat | Wow! :shocked:
|
bobzyeruncle 11th Nov 2013 | | Vinyl AlbumThe Beatles - Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band / Revolver | Were the Antrop releases officially licenced or technically bootlegs? Never been able to work that out.
|
bobzyeruncle 11th Nov 2013 | | Vinyl AlbumThe Beatles - Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band | I've seen coated variants for Capitol releases on west coast pressings that preceded this one by at least five years. Have yet to see a matte finish on one of the 'side logo' labels, for instance.
Seems like these came and went from the late fifties on for over a decade.

bobzyeruncle 10th Nov 2013 | | Vinyl AlbumThe Beatles - The Beatles Box | How did this one escape my attention?? (I need a change of pants now, I think.)
|
bobzyeruncle 10th Nov 2013 | | Vinyl AlbumVarious Artists - 25 Years Of Rhythm & Blues Hits | Anyone know who was pressing records for Ember in the mid-sixties?
|
bobzyeruncle 10th Nov 2013 | | Vinyl AlbumOriginal Cast Recording With Barbara Dickson - John, Paul, George, Ringo . . . & Bert | And here I thought it was your name being Bert. :laugh:
|
bobzyeruncle 10th Nov 2013 | | Vinyl AlbumWishbone Ash - Argus | Is it safe to say George Lucas still has a battered copy of this tucked away somewhere? :laugh:
|
bobzyeruncle 10th Nov 2013 | | Vinyl AlbumCulpeper's Orchard - Culpeper's Orchard | Found an original Italian press of PFM's Per Un Amico in the chazza for the same price a couple of years ago. Amazing what you can find on the racks sometimes!
|
bobzyeruncle 10th Nov 2013 | | Vinyl AlbumThe Jimi Hendrix Experience - Are You Experienced | True stereo mixes were done at the time, but true to form, I prefer the mono.
|
bobzyeruncle 10th Nov 2013 | | Vinyl AlbumSparks - Kimono My House | Chris Blackwell dropped a massive clanger with the first issue, as it was incredibly hard to tell the Mael brothers from all four Beatles? (You're supposed to laugh ...or maybe not.)
|
bobzyeruncle 10th Nov 2013 | | Vinyl AlbumNancy Wilson - Easy | A gorgeous album from a gorgeous lady.
She could have made the telephone directory sound sexy.
|
bobzyeruncle 9th Nov 2013 | | Vinyl AlbumDionne Warwick - Promises, Promises | I've learned to avoid Capitol record club stuff like the plague!
That said, I seek out the Longines (Decca, Gloversville) Beatles LPs as they sound better to my admittedly cloth ears.
|
bobzyeruncle 9th Nov 2013 | | Vinyl Album[no artist listed] - A Minute Of Your Time | I'm guessing the mature lady on the sleeve was chosen for this LP being aimed at a slightly older age bracket? :wink:
|
bobzyeruncle 7th Nov 2013 | | Vinyl AlbumVernon Elliot - Clangers, Original Working Music, Cues & Effects | I love 'specialist' stuff like this! Hanging my head in shame that I usually buy it on c**pact disc so I can use them in mixtapes.
|
bobzyeruncle 7th Nov 2013 | | Vinyl AlbumThe Beatles - Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band | If there's a difference in first and second pressings of this, it would have had to be within the frame of no more than a month or two. Capitol phased out mono for most releases in early '68.
|
bobzyeruncle 6th Nov 2013 | | Vinyl AlbumAllan Jones - Allan Jones Sings Donkey Serenade And Other Great Songs | Lovely game of pin the tail on the Allan later, if anyone's up for it.
|
bobzyeruncle 6th Nov 2013 | | Vinyl Album[no artist listed] - 12 Tops Volume 14 | Aren't all baked goods, TP? :laugh:
|
bobzyeruncle 6th Nov 2013 | | Vinyl Album[no artist listed] - 12 Tops Volume 14 | Last time I was in Gregg's, (Many years ago.) they had their Baps on full display as well. Innocent lad at the time, I decided to stick with the cheese & onion.
|
bobzyeruncle 6th Nov 2013 | | Vinyl Album[no artist listed] - 12 Tops Volume 14 | Title of track 3 nearly covers it. :wink:
|
bobzyeruncle 5th Nov 2013 | | Vinyl AlbumBlondie - The Hunter | "For Your Eyes Only" was written for the 007 film of the same name but turned down by 'Cubby' in favour of the tune eventually performed by Sheena Easton.
|
bobzyeruncle 4th Nov 2013 | | Vinyl AlbumVarious Artists - American Dreams | Poor geography as well, considering it appears they think Australia & Canada are part of the United States. :laugh:
|
bobzyeruncle 4th Nov 2013 | | Vinyl AlbumVarious Artists - 20 Star Tracks | Label images uploaded.
|
bobzyeruncle 4th Nov 2013 | | Vinyl AlbumElvis Presley - California Holiday | The title of the film and LP in the US was "Spinout".
|
bobzyeruncle 4th Nov 2013 | | Vinyl AlbumKiss - Unmasked | The outer ring and typesetting looks like American Polygram to me. Did they have their own pressing plant by 1980?
|
bobzyeruncle 4th Nov 2013 | | Vinyl Album[no artist listed] - Top Of The Pops: Vol. 68 | Now on a mission to find B6 on youtube! :laugh:
