bobzyeruncle 3rd Nov 2013 | | Vinyl AlbumHerb Alpert And The Tijuana Brass - Going Places | A very close runner-up to the TJB's "Whipped Cream And Other Delights" position of ubiquity in American chazzas.
|
bobzyeruncle 2nd Nov 2013 | | Vinyl AlbumCuckoo - Iona | If there's a compo for 'most confusing label layout', I nominate this one for the shortllist. :laugh:
|
bobzyeruncle 17th Oct 2013 | | Vinyl AlbumOzzy Osbourne - Ozzmium | Rhoads is legendary (deservedly so) amongst 'guitar geeks'. Sadly gone too soon.
|
bobzyeruncle 16th Oct 2013 | | Vinyl AlbumVarious Artists - Variétés De Paris | Is it possible to get a designation of 'Programme Transcription' for discs like these? I've got several I'd like to upload and no doubt more catters do as well
|
bobzyeruncle 16th Oct 2013 | | Vinyl AlbumAdge Cutler And The Wurzels - Recorded Live At The Royal Oak, Nailsea, Zummerzet | According to Mark Lewison in the Beatles recording sessions book, Martin & Emmerick caused a bit of a stir within the band by refusing to record them on the evening this was scheduled.
|
bobzyeruncle 15th Oct 2013 | | Vinyl AlbumRichard Anthony - Richard Anthony | Were any of these tracks not available on EPs?
|
bobzyeruncle 15th Oct 2013 | | Vinyl AlbumVarious Artists - Music In Depth | Thought that was the price in pre-decimal currency on the cover at first glance!
|
bobzyeruncle 14th Oct 2013 | | Vinyl AlbumThe Kinks - 20 Golden Greats | Kiss should have sued Ronco's art department!
|
bobzyeruncle 14th Oct 2013 | | Vinyl AlbumThe Beatles - Rubber Soul | So, as the old adage went "Standard English printers' f*** up" then? :laugh:
Still intriguing to me.
|
bobzyeruncle 14th Oct 2013 | | Vinyl AlbumThe Beatles - Rubber Soul | I've lusted after these peculiar pressings for years! My only theory behind their existence would be that someone in Hayes found a few of John's custom labels, had them printed over and slapped them on a couple of 'biscuits' during the pressing run. Boredom, or wishing to create an instant collectable. It's anyone's guess.
|
bobzyeruncle 13th Oct 2013 | | Vinyl AlbumThe Beatles - Not For Sale | It's from a Dick James Music demo acetate. If there's a better copy, I'm betting Yoko has it safely tucked away, under lock & key.
|
bobzyeruncle 13th Oct 2013 | | Vinyl AlbumThe Beatles - The Beatles In Italy | Ahh, cool! :thumbsup:
If you throw all the tracks on this into winamp, it's a really nice running order. I'd thought the opposite until I tried it.
|
bobzyeruncle 13th Oct 2013 | | Vinyl AlbumThe Beach Boys - The Very Best Of The Beach Boys Volume 1 | Hey, at least it isn't Brian Wilson's a**e in the photo!
|
bobzyeruncle 13th Oct 2013 | | Vinyl AlbumThe Beatles - The Beatles In Italy | Does this come in the Champagne jacket?
|
bobzyeruncle 13th Oct 2013 | | Vinyl AlbumThe Beatles - Not For Sale | The Bad To Me demo is, for want of a better word, 'lovely'!
|
bobzyeruncle 13th Oct 2013 | | Vinyl AlbumEddie Calvert - It's Impossible And Other Great Hits | 'Presents'? A bit 'AmericaniZed for an English label. :laugh:
|
bobzyeruncle 13th Oct 2013 | | Vinyl AlbumEmerson, Lake And Palmer - Pictures At An Exhibition | Always liked ELP's arrangement of this more than what Ravel did with it.
|
bobzyeruncle 13th Oct 2013 | | Vinyl AlbumJoe Jackson - Look Sharp! | The typesetting is the giveaway. Common on US releases from the mid-Seventies, through the Eighties and all but unknown on pressings made elsewhere.
|
bobzyeruncle 13th Oct 2013 | | Vinyl AlbumVarious Artists - British Invasion | Tracks leased by Castle Communications, after they bought out the Immediate catalogue, I'm guessing.
|
bobzyeruncle 13th Oct 2013 | | Vinyl AlbumHoney B. And T-Bones - Anytime | First acquainted with the band after a friend in Finland sent me a cassette copy of this LP sometime in the previous century.:laugh:
Great stuff!
|
bobzyeruncle 13th Oct 2013 | | Vinyl AlbumTony Osborne And His Orchestra - Lennon & McCartney Go Latin | Thanks mate! Wouldn't be surprised if it turns up in a charity shop near me. (Anyone want an instant Adam Faith collection?)
|
bobzyeruncle 13th Oct 2013 | | Vinyl AlbumTony Osborne And His Orchestra - Lennon & McCartney Go Latin | Only adding to 'wants' list because I collect anything Rediffusion related. :laugh:
|
bobzyeruncle 13th Oct 2013 | | Vinyl AlbumJoe Jackson - Look Sharp! | The promo scans are of the American release, not the Canadian one.
|
bobzyeruncle 12th Oct 2013 | | Vinyl AlbumThe Who - The Who Sell Out | I've read somewhere that Emidiscs were simply re-labeled Transcos and Audio-Discs.
|
bobzyeruncle 10th Oct 2013 | | Vinyl Album[no artist listed] - Join The Party | So is the moral of the story, "The more you drink, the better this album sounds?"
|
bobzyeruncle 9th Oct 2013 | | Vinyl AlbumSimon And Garfunkel - Bridge Over Troubled Water | Give a close listen to the end of A-5. As Art is singing "So long", for what seems an eternity, a jokey annoyed sounding Paul bellows "So long already, Artie!"
|
bobzyeruncle 9th Oct 2013 | | Vinyl AlbumVarious Artists - Break-Through | Spotted the ring, but couldn't remember which pressing plant had that. Got a few Starday releases and Capitol record club copies with it. Is there a ----< in the trail-off? (Probably wouldn't show up if the metal parts were imported, I'd guess.)
|
bobzyeruncle 9th Oct 2013 | | Vinyl AlbumVarious Artists - Break-Through | Definitely a Capitol pressing. I'd be curious to know which plant produced this.
|
bobzyeruncle 8th Oct 2013 | | Vinyl AlbumBread - The Best Of Bread | Almost ashamed to admit this, but there isn't a single song on this album that I dislike! :laugh:
|
bobzyeruncle 8th Oct 2013 | | Vinyl AlbumThe Beatles - The Deccagone Sessions | A-7 is actually "The Honeymoon Song".
