djraggy 16th Mar 2024		Vinyl Album Paper Lace - The Paper Lace Collection	Reissue of "The Best Of Paper Lace" (Hallmark SHM 868) and "First Edition" (Contour 6870 637)
djraggy 26th Apr 2023		12" Single ABBA - Dancing Queen	Not sure. All other releases I've seen featuring that track state running time as 4:33.
djraggy 23rd Dec 2021		78 RPM Stoll Picture Theatre Organ Played By Herbert Griffiths - Londonderry Air / Smilin' Through	Shouldn't this be in the Broadcast section?
djraggy 22nd Feb 2021		Vinyl Album Various Artists - Space Invasion	The editing on "Messages" was rather awkward to say the least.
djraggy 6th Dec 2018		TV The Pyramid Game (1981 - 2007)	If I remember correctly it began as a segment on "Bruce Forsyth's Big Night" on ITV in 1978
djraggy 24th Feb 2018		Vinyl Album The Hollies - Hallo, The Hollies	According to forum posts on the Hollies' official site, the rights to the recordings from 1963 - 65 would have been owned by EMI (They're now owned by Warner Music Group) while recordings made from "For Certain Because" onwards were owned by "The Hollies Ltd" and licensed to EMI.
djraggy 5th Jan 2018		Vinyl Album Art Blakey And The Jazz Messengers - Drum Suite	Initial copies were mispressed as "Jaco Pastorius" by Jaco Pastorius. DeAgostini later confirmed that re-pressings would be available for sale online, and for those subscribers who request a replacement for their mispressed copy.
djraggy 31st Dec 2017		78 RPM Bing Crosby And The Andrews Sisters - Pistol Packin' Mama / Vict'ry Polka	I thought the singles charts started in 1952.
djraggy 15th Dec 2017		Vinyl Album Dinah Washington - In The Land Of Hi-Fi	We've reached the half-way point of the collection then!
djraggy 6th Dec 2017		Vinyl Album Ahmad Jamal Trio - Ahmad Jamal At The Pershing	It should be noted that Argo Records in this instance was an offshoot of Chess records in the U.S., and not the label distributed by Decca in the UK.
djraggy 22nd Nov 2017		12" Single Japan - All Tomorrows Parties	..and with the 7" version featuring "In Vogue" on the B-side, I bet most Japan fans may have opted to get both 7 and 12" issues to get all the live tracks.
djraggy 24th Oct 2017		Vinyl Album Rain Featuring Stephanie De Sykes - Rain Featuring Stephanie De Sykes	"Golden Day" was used as the theme song for the final series of "The Golden Shot" when Bob Monkhouse returned to present it.
djraggy 20th Jul 2017		Vinyl Album John Stewart - Bombs Away Dream Babies	eil.com have this in stock at the moment. According to them the actual UK catalogue number is RSS 6, so I'd suggest that this entry goes under "international" for the time being until we know exactly where this one originated.
djraggy 29th Apr 2017		Vinyl Album Louis Armstrong And His All-Stars - Louis Armstrong Plays W.C. Handy	Nice touch with the period label design
djraggy 18th Apr 2017		Vinyl Album Miles Davis - Kind Of Blue	With that catalogue number it looks as though this is a duplicate of the European issue from 2007
djraggy 19th Jan 2017		Vinyl Album Harry Secombe - If I Ruled The World	I have several Contour LPs from around that time, so my guess would be around 1972 for the year of release. Don't forget as well, the "6870" series was running concurrently with the "2870" releases in the early to mid 70s, before distribution of Contour was taken over by Pickwick international, who re-issued the albums with a "CN" catalogue number.
djraggy 13th Dec 2016		Vinyl Album Dusty Springfield - A Girl Called Dusty	Virtually the same as Plilips BL.7594, but excludes "Mama Said" and "Nothing"
djraggy 21st Sep 2016		12" Single The Jam - That's Entertainment	Released to promote the "Greatest Hits" compilation
djraggy 24th Aug 2016		Vinyl Album Elvis Costello - Taking Liberties	A1 and B2 eventually released on the B-side of F-Beat single XX 12 ("Clubland")
djraggy 7th Aug 2016		12" Single Goody Goody - # 1 Dee Jay	[YouTube Video]
djraggy 15th Jul 2016		Vinyl Album Art Blakey And The Jazz Messengers - Moanin'	Noticed that De Agostini have stopped using the more extravagant packaging on the later editions of "Jazz on 33 1/3"
djraggy 21st Jun 2016		Vinyl Album Charles Mingus - Mingus Ah Um	Recently released in the UK as part of De Agostini's "Jazz At 33 1/3" collection
djraggy 15th Jun 2016		Vinyl Album The Bee Gees - Bee Gees Bonanza	Double LP bringing together "In The Beginning...The Early Days" volumes 2 and 3. which had originally been released in the UK as "Rare Precious & Beautiful" volumes 1 & 2
djraggy 21st May 2016		12" Single The Jam - Just Who Is The 5 O'Clock Hero	Pressed in Germany for the Dutch market
djraggy 18th May 2016		12" Single Ultravox - One Small Day (Special Re-mix)	There's a second 12" release in circulation (dubbed "Special Remix Extra") which features a completely different mix to the original release, although it has the same catalogue number. The track is also found on the cassette and CD editions of the "Lament" album, sometimes listed as "Extended Mix".
djraggy 30th Apr 2016		Vinyl Album Elvis Presley - Elvis Sings Hits From His Movies	This would have been a mid-to-late 70s pressing, as by this time RCA Camden albums were branded simply as "Camden"
djraggy 26th Apr 2016		Vinyl Album Vikki Carr - For Once In My Life	The blue (manufactured by Philips records) labels would have indeed been first, the black labels (Liberty/UA records) being introduced around July 1970.
djraggy 25th Apr 2016		Vinyl Album Graduate - Acting My Age	This edition actually released in 1986 to cash in on Tears For Fears' success with "Songs From The Big Chair".
djraggy 7th Apr 2016		Vinyl Album Madonna - The First Album	I believe it is.
djraggy 10th Mar 2016		TV Thunderbirds (1965 - 1966)	Shane Rimmer also contributed scripts to some of the later Gerry Anderson shows.
