Focus B 12th Dec 2024		Vinyl Album Yes - Time And A Word	The inner sleeve dates from 1971. It mentions The Yes Album but not Fragile nor Led Zeppelin IV. My copy of Led Zeppelin came with the same inner sleeve.
Focus B 5th Oct 2024		12" Single Senseless Things - Andi In A Karmann	Should read Andi In A Karmann (mod. comment: corrected)
Focus B 30th Sep 2024		Vinyl Album Argent - Hold Your Head Up	Some copies were pressed with standard CBS labels used at the time. I rather like the use of the older CBS logo on this series. A touch of nostalgia!
Focus B 1st Jul 2024		Vinyl Album The Beach Boys - The Fabulous Beach Boys	I've seen images of this with the later oval MFP labels.
Focus B 2nd May 2024		Vinyl Album Flaming Youth - Ark 2	I really like this album! A great '60s sound.
Focus B 15th Feb 2024		Vinyl Album Leo Sayer - Leo Sayer	Alternative labels uploaded. Cut and manufactured by Phonogram, but no mention of this.
Focus B 12th Dec 2023		Vinyl Album Walker Brothers - The Fabulous Walker Brothers	Rear of sleeve and labels uploaded.
Focus B 23rd Nov 2023		12" Single Blur - There's No Other Way (Extended Version)	Sleeve and labels uploaded. Side B label gives reference to Parlophone Records.
Focus B 26th Oct 2023		Vinyl Album Genesis - Trespass	This issue would appear to date from 1972 as the Charisma label wasn't launched in Germany until then. This was originally issued on Philips with the same catalogue number.
Focus B 3rd Oct 2023		Vinyl Album Aphrodite's Child - 666	First class re-issue seeing original copies go for stupid prices nowadays. I did have it on CD once which sounded awful, so much I got rid of it.
Focus B 17th Sep 2023		Vinyl Album The Moody Blues With The London Festival Orchestra - Days Of Future Passed	As there are notable differences between the "standard" and the very first UK pressings, I've uploaded them separately.
Focus B 3rd Sep 2023		Vinyl Album The Moody Blues With The London Festival Orchestra - Days Of Future Passed	I believe Ray Thomas composed Twilight Time
Focus B 16th May 2023		Vinyl Album Petula Clark - Colour My World	Improved front cover scan uploaded.
Focus B 13th May 2023		Vinyl Album The Moody Blues With The London Festival Orchestra - Days Of Future Passed	Labels of first issue without group credit on the labels uploaded.Has the same sleeve as uploaded by Tony with the all black text. To replace the 1205509 image, here's the full rear cover from the late 1969 issue as well.
Focus B 9th May 2023		Vinyl Album The Buckinghams - Made In Chicago	What a truly superb set this is. Portraits is especially good, though Hey Baby (They're Playing Our Song) is a little out of place. Would be rather like The Beatles Ticket To Ride ending Side 1 of Sgt Pepper! As for the earlier album, the cover of The Beatles' I'll Be Back is worth a mention. Most such covers are not a patch on the originals, yet The Buckinghams made the song their own, which takes some doing.
Focus B 9th May 2023		Vinyl Album The Moody Blues With The London Festival Orchestra - Days Of Future Passed	At long last I'm now a proud owner of a very early edition that lacks the group credit on the labels. Same black titled sleeve as uploaded by Tony. I'll upload the labels in due course. What's interesting is it has the same 2W/2W as my late 1969 mono pressing!
Focus B 6th May 2023		12" Single The House Of Love - Never	Promo copy uploaded. Housed in a die cut Fontana sleeve.
Focus B 5th May 2023		12" Single The House Of Love - Shine On	This was also available in stock copy form.
Focus B 2nd May 2023		Vinyl Album The Buckinghams - Made In Chicago	Added promo tracklisting from the front of my copy and the inner sleeve. The latter is identical on all four sides. With respect to Steve, labels of my copy also uploaded. Stock copies of this album exist.
Focus B 30th Apr 2023		Vinyl Album The Moody Blues With The London Festival Orchestra - Days Of Future Passed	Fantastic Tony, can't pretend I'm not green with envy!
Focus B 30th Apr 2023		Vinyl Album The Moody Blues With The London Festival Orchestra - Days Of Future Passed	Very interesting Tony. Did the red label copy accompany the early sleeve? Interesting to note, not only the stereo colour was used, but the track and publishing info is the same as on the first issue but with the group credited.
Focus B 27th Apr 2023		Vinyl Album The Beatles - Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band	Fascinating! Many thanks for the link Scratchy.
Focus B 26th Apr 2023		Vinyl Album The Beatles - Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band	Anyone have more info on copies that lack crediting A Day In The Life on Side 2? I recently purchased a mono copy and was surprised to notice it lacked any mention of B6 on the label. I guess this omission was on very early mono copies only. To the best of my knowledge, all stereo copies credit the song.
Focus B 23rd Apr 2023		Vinyl Album The Residents - Meet The Residents	Uploaded an alternative rear sleeve from a later issue, circa 1979. Labels and catalogue number identical, front of sleeve a deeper orange but otherwise the same. Boots was, of course written by Lee Hazlewood. This album is an absolute masterpiece. How they managed to make a true stereo version out of a mono original without apparent re-recording is not far short of a miracle!
Focus B 1st Apr 2023		12" Single Age Of Chance - Playing With Fire (Firestarter Mix) (Vocal)	Demo issue uploaded.
Focus B 28th Mar 2023		Vinyl Album Petula Clark - Petula Clark's Hit Parade	Uploaded the rear sleeve and labels from an early '70s re-pressing.
Focus B 3rd Mar 2023		12" Single Various Artists - Earcom 1	Thanks Paul. I probably had the Human League Flexi in mind!
Focus B 3rd Mar 2023		12" Single Various Artists - Earcom 2	I wonder how Fast were able to include a couple of Joy Division numbers. They are amongst the best tracks the band put out. Hearing them again 44 years later has re-awakened my interest in the band.
Focus B 28th Feb 2023		12" Single Various Artists - Earcom 1	I'm confused. Is The Products - Fresh an additional track on a flexidisc? This is missing from my copy.
Focus B 30th Jan 2023		Vinyl Album The Lovin' Spoonful - Golden Hour Of The Lovin' Spoonful's Greatest Hits	It was released in 1974. It states that in the box with the Pye logo under the track listing.
