bobzyeruncle 13th Jan 2013 | | 78 RPMDesmond Dekker And The Aces - 007 / El Torro | Drool!
|
bobzyeruncle 11th Jan 2013 | | 78 RPMStan Freberg - Heartbreak Hotel / Rock Island Line | Loads of memorable gags on both sides of this one. "Ripped my jeans! Third pair today." and "Get your chicken at the station?" immediately come to mind. :laugh:
|
bobzyeruncle 10th Jan 2013 | | 78 RPMThe Everly Brothers - Cathy's Clown / Always It's You | So another bit of mis-information given me cleared up!
I learn something new every day. :smile:
|
bobzyeruncle 10th Jan 2013 | | 78 RPMGracie Fields - He's Dead | Another favourite of mine from my dad's collection. The 'B' side is a bit of a 'perennial', as they say.
|
bobzyeruncle 10th Jan 2013 | | 78 RPMJoan Weber - Let Me Go Lover / Marionette | Any idea why it says 'Green' under the catalogue no. ?
|
bobzyeruncle 10th Jan 2013 | | 78 RPMElvis Presley - Baby Let's Play House / I'm Left, You're Right, She's Gone | Noting the difference between the two scans, I wonder if there are shellac and vinyl pressings of this?
|
bobzyeruncle 10th Jan 2013 | | 78 RPMDavid Rose - Dance Of The Spanish Onion / Holiday For Strings | I remember Spike's version from my dad's copy. Best juxtaposition of a singing chicken and laughing record in history. Actually, I think it was the only one!
|
bobzyeruncle 9th Jan 2013 | | 78 RPMDavid Rose - Dance Of The Spanish Onion / Holiday For Strings | The 'B' side was a bigger hit.
Love the title, though. Makes me wonder if the follow-up was called "In A Persian Melon".
|
bobzyeruncle 9th Jan 2013 | | 78 RPMThe Outlaws - Ambush / Indian Brave | A Joe Meek 78! :smile:
|
bobzyeruncle 9th Jan 2013 | | 78 RPMThe Everly Brothers - Cathy's Clown / Always It's You | If memory serves, this was the last mass-produced UK 78.
Bit of a shame, as this version blows the 45 off the map, sonically.
|
bobzyeruncle 9th Jan 2013 | | 78 RPMBroadway Bell-Hops - Hi-Ho The Merrio (As Long As She Loves Me) / To-Night's My Night With Baby | I think it took a while before label size, or record speed for that matter became standardized. Certainly, those old Victor, Edison Bell, Columbia labels were quite a bit bigger than later 78s.
|
bobzyeruncle 9th Jan 2013 | | 78 RPMPerry Como - Dig You Later (A Hubba-Hubba-Hubba) / Here Comes Heaven Again | I always raise a bit of a chuckle with friends when I remark about how raunchy a lot of Doris Day's records were. "A Guy Is A Guy", etc. After giving a spin for them, their jaw usually drops and they ask "How the h**l did those ever get played on the radio?"
|
bobzyeruncle 8th Jan 2013 | | 78 RPMRuth Etting - Could I? I Certainly Could / So Is Your Old Lady | Love the stuck on label! :laugh:
|
bobzyeruncle 29th May 2014 | | MagazineAGA Living | I've got a microwave, electric kettle and a cooker I can digitally set the temperature on. Why doesn't anything taste right out of them? :sad:
|
bobzyeruncle 28th May 2014 | | MagazinePop Weekly | A case of a young Harry Webb bearing more than a passing resemblance to Harry Styles!
|
bobzyeruncle 28th May 2014 | | MagazinePop Weekly | Having trouble recalling this fella's name! Passing resemblance to Bobby George, but I'm sure that's not him. :laugh:
|
bobzyeruncle 28th May 2014 | | MagazineBBC Music Magazine | Admittedly I love BBC Music magazine. :shock: Some of their 'free' CD's are streets ahead of most standalone releases.
|
bobzyeruncle 3rd Jul 2014 | | CD AlbumThe Beatles - Please Please Me | This is a contract pressing of the USA release. The Japanese issue would have a TOCP prefix, iirc.
|
bobzyeruncle 30th Mar 2014 | | CD AlbumThe Beatles - The Beatles [The White Album] 30th Anniversary Limited Edition |
Mine is No. 035776. Both discs have the bel logos and "Made In UK" on the discs.
|
bobzyeruncle 30th Mar 2014 | | CD AlbumThe Beatles - The U.S. Albums Sampler | Thankfully, these are now available as single CDs. :happy:
For once, the endless Beatles repackaging is bearing some tasty fruit. Made me wish EMI had popped its clogs earlier! Mono and Stereo versions on each disc. Well done!
|
bobzyeruncle 27th Jun 2014 | | Cassette AlbumBon Jovi - Slippery When Wet | They were 'sonically welded', I was told ages ago. Not that the person who told me had any notion as to what that meant either. :laugh:
|
bobzyeruncle 8th Jun 2014 | | Cassette AlbumHerman's Hermits - No Milk Today | With the offer of a fake passport and a pink accordion, who can refuse? :laugh:
|
bobzyeruncle 8th Jun 2014 | | Cassette AlbumCreedence Clearwater Revival - Pendulum Vol. 2 | Since vol.2 seems close to the original single LP tracklisting, what was on vol. 1?
|
bobzyeruncle 28th May 2014 | | Cassette AlbumBlood, Sweat And Tears - Greatest Hits | Wrong group, but you're on the right track.
|
bobzyeruncle 16th May 2014 | | Cassette AlbumABBA - Greatest Hits | The niche market here were bored secretaries who wanted to hear something else besides their bosses droning endlessly on the dictation machine?
|
bobzyeruncle 14th May 2014 | | Cassette AlbumRolf Harris - All Together Now! | Inward groan of acknowledgement over the title of track 7.
|
bobzyeruncle 11th May 2014 | | Reel-to-ReelHamburg Pro Musica - Tchaikovsky's Nutcracker Suite | Fascinating page, mlgh224. Cheers!
|
bobzyeruncle 11th May 2014 | | Reel-to-ReelHamburg Pro Musica - Tchaikovsky's Nutcracker Suite | Wondering why they didn't use British tape for this.
|
bobzyeruncle 4th May 2014 | | Cassette AlbumRamones - Ramones | Sire changed distribution from Polygram to WEA circa 1978, so it's likely a re-issue.
|
bobzyeruncle 4th May 2014 | | Cassette Album[no artist listed] - Coldseal Jingles 6 Compilation | Brilliant! I collect stuff like this on vinyl, but haven't seen any pop up on cassette until now.
