carryonsidney 10th Jan 2025 | | Vinyl AlbumVarious Artists - Island 45's | This is a very strange release, the "All available from future releases" on label is a lie of sorts?
A1 1977
A2 1976 SHELTER
A3 1977
A4 1977 STIFF
A5 1975 with a wrong title? Goodbye Love
A6 1976 SHELTER
A7 1977
I would date release around March 1977? Discogs says 1976 for release but this is impossible as the Damned didnt even record Neat Neat Neat until January 1977?

carryonsidney 29th Oct 2024 | | Vinyl AlbumSlim Whitman - Slim Whitman And His Singing Guitar | This album was a good seller and appears with both gold and silver lettering on the labels. I just noticed the printer date on the uploaded copy is for 1956, the copy I picked up the other day has JU55/10 (1955)

carryonsidney 19th Oct 2024 | | 78 RPM[no artist listed] - Instructions And Sample Calling | This is a disc to help hunters bag animals! This firm Burnham Brothers still exists and they even still supply the modern electronic version of these discs a device that emits the various animal calls.

carryonsidney 16th Oct 2024 | | BookVarious Authors - West Howe Proper | Makes me a bit nostalgic when I see things like this but I then I remember its not far off 40 years since I moved away.

|
carryonsidney 28th Sep 2024 | | Vinyl AlbumCab Calloway - Jumpin Jive | Made in Holland possibly a european release? My front is lighter like the image on the UK issue. Sleeves front/back / inner are all the same as here though.

carryonsidney 3rd Jul 2024 | | 12" SingleOzzy Osbourne + Motörhead - Hellraiser Mashup | Some copies don't have the sticker thats on the front of sleeve.
|
carryonsidney 2nd Jul 2024 | | Vinyl AlbumThe Beatles - A Collection Of Beatles Oldies | I don't know if this is a thing or not, but picked up a copy at the weekend - a 66 style G&L sleeve housing a double EMI boxed label disc in a EMI inner sleeve that is printed with other similar Best of's from around 1970?
|
carryonsidney 21st Jun 2024 | | 78 RPMLayton And Johnstone - Souvenirs / Charmaine | Labels exist with the correct spelling of Pollack.
|
carryonsidney 7th May 2024 | | Vinyl AlbumThe Tennessee Tooters - The Tennessee Tooters | Unfortunately the blue blob on the front cover is not part of the design! This is a very rare record label and I suspect some releases may have been of the "99 copies only variety"?
|
carryonsidney 26th Apr 2024 | | Vinyl AlbumVarious Artists - New Orleans Horns | While tidying up I have found 2 copies of this, earlier copy dated JU.54/1 the sleeve is not laminated, straight cut flaps, brown paper inner which may be home made.
The 2nd copy fully laminated curve flip backs with a plastic inner sleeve,JU.56/5.

carryonsidney 24th Apr 2024 | | Vinyl AlbumMarie Bryant - Don't Touch My Nylons | I've not heard the 78 so can't compare, I would estimate this album was out in 1959 or 60 judging by some other records with a similar cat#?
|
carryonsidney 21st Apr 2024 | | 78 RPMLeslie Hutchinson - Goodnight My Love / All Alone In Vienna | A slightly clearer A side dropped in. Thanks to Worldstamps for the original scan.
|
carryonsidney 21st Apr 2024 | | 78 RPMSpike Jones And His City Slickers - Cocktails For Two / Chloe | I have another variation for the "cocktails..." side, the stamps go in Chappell/Victoria/ NCB/ Francis Day order. The BD 1107 has a large space between ....D. __ 11... like image 3198861.
Helpfully I have the original sleeve with the titles and the owners name & address added to it in fountain pen and longhand. On the back is a long list of adverts one of which Alma Cogan B10653 is dated to 1954 seems to suggest this one was quite a hit.

carryonsidney 30th Jan 2024 | | 78 RPMNorman Brooks - A Sky-Blue Shirt And A Rainbow Tie / This Waltz With You | Re the tax codes, I think Decca simply knocked off the letter "T" (T for Tax), the code in place at the time was NT Apr 15th 1953 to Oct 26th 1955, (replaced by "RT" on 27th Oct 55).
