Boursin 22nd May 2016		78 RPM Alfred Cortot - Hungarian Rhapsody No. 2 / Hungarian Rhapsody No. 2	This is not an LP, and this is not a sale site.
Boursin 8th Nov 2015		78 RPM The Squadronaires - C Jam Blues / Mission To Moscow	[YouTube Video]
Boursin 17th Oct 2015		78 RPM Lighthouse All Stars - Big Boy (Part 1) / Big Boy (Concl.)	[YouTube Video]
Boursin 15th Jun 2015		Vinyl Album Rolling Stones - Let It Bleed	Quote: This is the only Decca album of theirs which does not have The Rolling Stones anywhere on the cover, inner sleeve, or labels Actually it does say "The Rolling Stones" on the vinyl disc shown in both the front and back cover photos. cough Maybe they wanted to minimise the risk of interpreting "The Rolling Stones Let It Bleed" as a declarative sentence. On the inner sleeve, where both parts of it are the same colour, there is a slash between them. (And Let It Be doesn't say "The Beatles" on the front cover either.)
Boursin 15th Jun 2015		Vinyl Album Geoff Love And His Orchestra - Big Terror Movie Themes	This is mentioned in a fairly funny essay by the British sitcom writer Andrew Collins, called "Big Boys Don't Cry". It's about how he was affected by The Poseidon Adventure, a not so well remembered disaster movie, as a 10-year-old in the mid-1970s. He mentions having had this LP just for track A2.
Boursin 14th Jun 2015		Vinyl Album Hank C. Burnette - The Original Oneman-Rockabilly-Band	The Wizard release is on 45cat, with colour images. "Spinning Rock Boogie" was a No. 21 hit in Britain and was released throughout Western Europe. So there is nothing odd about the originating label, Sonet, licensing it for release in Australia.
Boursin 13th Jun 2015		Vinyl Album Sammy Lowe - Hitsville, U.S.A.	It was about this time that Motown started using it. Ending words in "-sville" was stereotypical Beat Generation talk, and I imagine that this was the source equally for both.
Boursin 12th Jun 2015		Vinyl Album Ronnie Hawkins - Rockin'	Quote: I think the transition from PYE to PRT happened a few years earlier than 1980. No need to speculate when we have a comprehensive Pye discography on 45cat. Showing the last releases as late as June and July 1980. To mark the upcoming change of name, Billboard published a 36-page supplement on Pye/PRT in the issue of 3 May 1980. (This issue is not on Google Books.)
Boursin 10th Jun 2015		Vinyl Album Bill Justis - Raunchy & Other Great Instrumentals	But the Sam Phillips-owned Sun never released any records in the UK. It only licensed its material to local labels, primarily London and later Ember.
Boursin 10th Jun 2015		Vinyl Album Shirley Bassey - The Very Best Of Shirley Bassey	Quote: (as it happens, I will be visiting London shortly, so this is something that I might be able to chase up). Very much looking forward to it! This stuff is truly fascinating, if only for a tiny handful people in the world. I'm not sure that the paid ads by E.M.I. showing it as EMI were mistakes – this was just a small cross-section of them, there are many others I could have referenced. The record ads seem to have been knocked up by EMI's own publicity department, as they had a quite consistent graphic style. But I guess we won't be finding out with certainty. EMI's own archive in London is fabulous, according to people who have done research there – basically it has everything imaginable to do with the company itself and the various companies it absorbed over the years, from the late 19th century onwards. Probably also whatever internal memos were prepared on the use of the company names and on the various changes of name. I don't know if the breakup of EMI has affected access, though.
Boursin 10th Jun 2015		Vinyl Album The Surfaris - Wipe Out And Surfer Joe	Sorry! I only realised now that I completely forgot to explain that the LP packaging was altered in response to the complaints by the Surfaris, so that it then described the tracks other than "Wipe Out" and "Surfer Joe" as being by "other instrumental groups" (see it on Discogs). And so this entry is correct for that version of the LP. It would be best to create a completely new one for the version you have in your collection, listing the Surfaris as the artist for all 12 tracks, and link it to the others.
Boursin 8th Jun 2015		Vinyl Album Various Artists - A Monument To British Rock	Quote: This is better called: A Monument To British Rock 'n' Roll. If I saw an album titled like that, I would expect it to feature British rock 'n' roll: you know, Cliff Richard, Adam Faith, Johnny Kidd and the Pirates, Don Lang, the John Barry Seven, Tony Crombie, Dickie Pride and so on (if we're speaking of EMI artists). "British rock 'n' roll" is a pretty well-established term used in this sense. Wikipedia's extensive article British rock and roll ("or sometimes British rock 'n' roll") also refers exclusively to this sense. Of the 20 tracks on this album, only "Shakin' All Over" and "Apache" are British rock 'n' roll.
Boursin 8th Jun 2015		Vinyl Album Shirley Bassey - The Very Best Of Shirley Bassey	That is interesting, and it was new information to me. But what do the documents from Companies House say about the fate of E.M.I. Records Ltd., then? In particular, what were its activities subsequent to July 1973? The name "EMI Records Ltd." or "EMI Records Limited", with no dots, was used in many different contexts beginning already in 1957. Melody Maker, 21 September 1957, p. 13, ad for Ray Anthony on Capitol: "EMI RECORDS LTD (controlled by Electric & Musical Industries Ltd)" The Guardian, 11 December 1959, p. 4, recruitment ad of Electric & Musical Industries: "'His Master's Voice', Columbia, Parlophone, Capitol, MGM, Mercury and Emarcy – these world-famous labels are all issued by EMI Records Ltd." New Musical Express, 19 August 1960, p. 9, ad for seven LPs on five labels: "EMI Records Ltd." The Times, 10 December 1962, p. 15, ad in business pages summarising annual report of Electric & Musical Industries: "EMI Records Ltd. won 9 out of 15 National Record Awards by the Gramophone Record Retailers Association." New Musical Express, 25 September 1964, p. 4, ad for Shirley Bassey on Columbia: "EMI RECORDS LIMITED" Melody Maker, 25 May 1968, p. 11, ad for twelve singles on six labels: "EMI Records Limited" And so on. The 1973 change may have been technically implemented by renaming The Gramophone Co. Ltd. into EMI Records Ltd., but this was for all intents and purposes a continuation of the old EMI Records Ltd. which had operated for more than sixteen years by that time. It may have been registered back in 1957 as "E.M.I. Records Ltd.", but EMI itself used the name in many contexts prior to 1973 without the dots. And for reasons of trademark law alone, two companies with only an orthographic difference between their names cannot function at the same time.
Boursin 7th Jun 2015		Vinyl Album Shirley Bassey - The Very Best Of Shirley Bassey	Quote: At the start of the copyright warning which runs around the label clockwise(or around the top), on HMV the words "The Gramophone Co, Ltd.", on Columbia the words "Columbia Graphophone Ltd." and on Parlophone the words "The Parlophone Co. Ltd.". These are seen mainly on mid-60s vintage issues All labels from the start of 45 RPM issues in 1953 showed "The Gramophone Co. Ltd." on HMV, "Columbia Graphophone Co. Ltd." (not "Columbia Graphophone Ltd.") on Columbia, and "The Parlophone Co. Ltd." on Parlophone. The mid-1960s were when the latter two disappeared from the labels, shortly after Columbia Graphophone Co. Ltd. and The Parlophone Co. Ltd. were merged with The Gramophone Co. Ltd. in July 1965. Quote: but, I think, about 1969 or so the individual company names were replaced by "EMI Records Ltd." then, that rectangular EMI logo began to appear at the bottom of the three main labels Its appearance on LP labels in 1969, and on singles labels in 1971, was completely unrelated to the end of the old EMI company names, two of which already disappeared in 1965 and the third not until 1973. After having absorbed Columbia and Parlophone in 1965, The Gramophone Co. Ltd. was itself folded in July 1973 into EMI Records Ltd. Quote: July 1973 was when The Gramophone Company Limited became EMI Records Limited. Wrong: that was the date when the latter swallowed up the former. EMI Records Ltd. as such had existed ever since April 1957 as the holding company for EMI's various record interests. Long before 1973, its name appeared not just on Stateside and Tamla Motown singles (and the 1958–63 Mercury singles), but also on the back side of the LP, EP and singles sleeves on all of EMI's labels beginning in 1957. This Shirley Bassey LP, by the way, was released sometime in late 1974, judging by the catalogue number. The previous number, SCX 6568, is an LP of the 1974 Royal Tournament. In 1968, the series had only reached around SCX 6300.
Boursin 7th Jun 2015		Vinyl Album The Shadows - The Shadows	It was written by Bill McGuffie, so there's the answer.
Boursin 7th Jun 2015		Vinyl Album The Surfaris - Wipe Out And Surfer Joe	Quote: And, why are the Surfaris only listed as the artist on two tracks, when the label and jacket cover makes no such distinction? Because they only perform those two tracks, and complained about the misleading packaging! They moved from Dot to Decca immediately after the "Wipe Out" single was a hit. The other ten tracks were recorded by Richard Delvy (who had got them on Dot), probably with members of his own group The Challengers.
Boursin 2nd Jun 2015		Vinyl Album The Motors - 1	If a record was released in several countries, one of which is the country of manufacture, that country is usually given as the country of release. Should this have "Australasia" as the country?
Boursin 2nd Jun 2015		Vinyl Album Various Artists - The Sound Of Young America	Quote: To my knowledge, Teldec never handled Motown. There had been this, 20 years earlier.
Boursin 2nd Jun 2015		Vinyl Album The Motors - 1	It says "Made in Holland" on the labels.
Boursin 1st Jun 2015		Vinyl Album The Knightsbridge Strings - Big Beat	No, it's not the same song. This is an instrumental with strings and a stroll beat, a bit reminiscent of Brook Benton and Dinah Washington's "Baby (You've Got What It Takes)". This LP is on Spotify, for those who like that sort of thing, but not on YouTube so far.
Boursin 1st Jun 2015		Vinyl Album Various Artists - Kissing Her And Crying For You	Patton. The "Patten" misspelling originated already on the US single (Capitol 5677) back in 1966.
Boursin 1st Jun 2015		Vinyl Album The Beatles - Revolver	In Britain, there were at least eleven different covers of Revolver songs released the same day as Revolver itself, 5 August 1966: Cliff Bennett & The Rebel Rousers - Got To Get You Into My Life (Parlophone R 5489) Glen Dale - Good Day Sunshine (Decca F 12475) The Eyes - Good Day Sunshine (Mercury MF 934) The Fourmost - Here, There And Everywhere (Parlophone R 5491) Scott Hamilton - Good Day Sunshine/For No One (Parlophone R 5492) Loose Ends - Taxman (Decca F 12476) Marc Reid - For No One (CBS 202244) The Tremeloes - Good Day Sunshine (CBS 202242) Brian Withers - For No One/Here, There And Everywhere (RCA Victor RCA 1536) Apart from the two Brian Epstein artists (Bennett and Fourmost), these were all almost certainly due to Dick James, and not John, Paul or George. Quote: This thing truly pulses in mono. Yes, "pulse" is exactly the right word for it. Certainly one of the best mono mixes in the history of the eardrum.
Boursin 1st Jun 2015		Vinyl Album Dale Hawkins - Oh! Suzy-Q	This is a European bootleg from around 1985 or so. And it has "Heaven" replaced with "Hot Dog", unlike the official All Platinum pressing from the 1970s.
Boursin 1st Jun 2015		Vinyl Album Various Artists - The Sound Of Young America	Besides Bobby Darin, there was also Jack Hammer ("Colour Combination"/"Swim", Soul 35088 – also pressed on Tamla Motown in more than one country, including Sweden and Portugal). So that's two Motown acts on this LP, and the brother and bandmate of a third.
Boursin 1st Jun 2015		Vinyl Album Whirlwind [UK] - Blowing Up A Storm	I had it once (25+ years ago) and no, it wasn't. Dutch, if I recall correctly.
Boursin 1st Jun 2015		Vinyl Album The Yardbirds - The Yardbirds	Quote: The Beatles US and Capitol LPs were plastered with it, especially the earlier ones. I may be wrong, but as far as I know, only eight songs on The Beatles' Second Album and two on Beatles '65 ("I Feel Fine" and "She's A Woman") had any echo added (plus there was a version of the stereo Rubber Soul with extra echo that was quickly withdrawn and is very rare). Judging by the frequency of comments to the contrary, the ten songs with echo somehow seem to have blown up, for many listeners, into a kind of false memory about nearly everything on the Capitol LPs being drowned in extra echo. It's not.
Boursin 28th Apr 2015		Vinyl Album Johnny Winter - Guitar Slinger	Quote: Track # B4 "Kiss Tomorrow Goodbye" composed by Al Reed, recorded by Johnny Winter, distributed by Alligator Records unauthorized and licensed to Sonet Records illegally as "Fair Use" under "Copyright Control". Not true. This record was released by Intercord, a German company, which merely manufactured it on behalf of Sonet, a British company, which in turn had licensed it from Alligator, an American one. The owner's being designated as "Copyright Control" simply means that at the time the record was manufactured, the owner was unknown to PRS for Music, the British performing rights organisation, which administers mechanical licenses for music in Britain. "Copyright Control" means that the mechanical royalties payable are placed in a special bank account until the owner is identified, at which time they are paid out. See the section on Copyright Control (page 825) in Kohn on Music Licensing, the standard reference book on the law of music licensing. Not being a British company but an American one, Chervalin Publishing Company is not affiliated with PRS. Most American music publishers are affiliated with the Harry Fox Agency, the local equivalent of PRS. Harry Fox has reciprocal agreements for foreign representation with the performing rights organisations of many different countries, including PRS. As shown by the mention of GEMA on the labels, this German release in turn was sub-licensed by GEMA, the German performing rights organisation, under the reciprocal agreement they have with PRS. In any case, any claim for missing mechanical royalties for a musical work designated "Copyright Control" should go through PRS. Any suggestion of illegality or copyright infringement would be a nonstarter, as no copyright infringement has occurred. Copyright Control is precisely the way to do things legally and avoid infringement of unidentified copyright owners' rights.
Boursin 28th Apr 2015		Vinyl Album Johnny Winter - Guitar Slinger	Quote: Alligator infringed the copyrights and refused to pay the Mechanical Royalties owed to the heirs of Al Reed. Not true. This record was released by Sonet, a British company, which merely licensed it from Alligator, an American one. The owner's being designated as "Copyright Control" simply means that at the time the record was manufactured, the owner was unknown to PRS for Music, the British performing rights organisation, which administers mechanical licenses for music in Britain.

Boursin 28th Apr 2015		Vinyl Album Various Artists - The Soul Of A Man	Quote: Kent Records reproduced and distributed the song unauthorized by Al Reed and listed the song under "Copyright Control", illegally. Not true.

Boursin 27th Apr 2015		Vinyl Album Frank Chacksfield And His Orchestra - Ebb Tide	The difference is not US vs. Canada, but London vs. Richmond (London's budget label).
