Focus B 8th Jan 2023		Vinyl Album Genesis - Selling England By The Pound	Never intended to buy a copy, I got a sleeveless copy for free as part of mail order packing! It must be said the pressing quality is excellent. It was a nice surprise seeing I unintentially lost my West German original copy a few years ago.
Focus B 2nd Jan 2023		Vinyl Album David McCallum - Music	Just noticed track B5 is missing on the label!
Focus B 14th Dec 2022		Vinyl Album The Kinks - The Kink Kontroversy	Albert - Wow!
Focus B 1st Nov 2022		Vinyl Album The Hollies - For Certain Because...	Labels uploaded.
Focus B 27th Oct 2022		Vinyl Album The Bee Gees - Marley Purt Drive	Sides 1 and 2 of the Odessa album.
Focus B 27th Oct 2022		Vinyl Album The Bee Gees - Sound Of Love	Sides 3 and 4 of the Odessa double album.
Focus B 19th Oct 2022		Vinyl Album The Bee Gees - Massachusetts	Made In Switzerland labels uploaded. Appears to have been made for the UK market. Has Made In Switzerland stampers in inner groove.
Focus B 19th Oct 2022		Vinyl Album The Bee Gees - Horizontal	Labels uploaded.
Focus B 2nd Oct 2022		Vinyl Album Captain Beefheart And His Magic Band - Safe As Milk	I was under the impression the original Pye International 12 track version was deleted fairly quickly and replaced with this budget issue. I've only seen copies of the original with the temporary blue label. Marble Arch re-issued Kinda Kinks in 1969 in its entirety.
Focus B 1st Oct 2022		Vinyl Album Family - Family Entertainment	It wasn't uncommon for Kinney to have used the earlier PYE masters for their re-issues. I have an original Pye pressed and Kinney re-issue of Mason Williams ' Long Time Blues/Classical Gas 45 for example. I was amazed to find exactly the same Pye masters were utilised for both sides, the re-issue having an added K matrix too of course.
Focus B 30th Sep 2022		Vinyl Album The Nice - The Thoughts Of Emerlist Davjack	Pink was later.
Focus B 29th Sep 2022		Vinyl Album Captain Beefheart And His Magic Band - Safe As Milk	I fail to understand why two tracks, "I'm Glad" and "Grown So Ugly" were omitted from this re-issue. Surely, it would've been far cheaper has they used the original master cut plates instead of re-cutting it for this re-issue?
Focus B 29th Sep 2022		Vinyl Album Captain Beefheart And His Magic Band - Safe As Milk	Labels uploaded. If issued in 1967 one would imagine this appearing on the pink Pye International label. This doesn't appear to exist which suggests the release date will be January 1968 or thereabouts?
Focus B 10th Sep 2022		Vinyl Album The Who - Meaty, Beaty, Big & Bouncy	I wonder why Magic Bus is in reprocessed stereo on this album when a true stereo version was available on the US Magic Bus LP? It's a different recording to the original mono 45 too. Track B7 is true stereo of course.
Focus B 3rd Sep 2022		CD Single The Mock Turtles - Lay Me Down	Made in Austria, Distributed by A.P.T in the UK, P.I.A.S in Benelux and S.P.V. in Germany. Tracks 03 and 04 were recorded at the T&C2, 22 Highbury Corner, N5, as part of the Q102 Radio "Time To Remember" event on Thursday, January 25th 1990. I was there! These tracks are exclusive to the CD format. Great memories of a great night and gig.
Focus B 15th Aug 2022		12" Single Melt - Neverland	Group were previously known as We Are Going To Eat You.
Focus B 12th Aug 2022		12" Single We Are Going To Eat You - Heart In Hand	Made in France.
Focus B 12th Aug 2022		Vinyl Album Elvis Presley - G.I. Blues	I've unexpectedly got a copy of this from a Discogs seller, who uses other mostly "junk" records to assist with packing! A little tatty original 1960 issue. Nice to have. I look forward to listening to it.
Focus B 11th Aug 2022		12" Single We Are Going To Eat You - Ride Upon The Tide	Great outfit who couldn't possibly record a bad song. Could have become the Blondie of the '90s.
Focus B 11th Aug 2022		12" Single We Are Going To Eat You - I Wish I Knew	Images uploaded.
Focus B 30th Jul 2022		12" Single Cabaret Voltaire - Three Mantras	Uploaded label without reference to the 33 1/3RPM playing speed. Same both sides.
Focus B 22nd Jul 2022		Vinyl Album Deep Purple - The Book Of Taliesyn	Another variation with Harvest Heritage labels. It's clearly not part of the series seeing it retains the original SHVL catalogue number. Uploaded with kind permission of the owner.
Focus B 14th Jun 2022		Vinyl Album Buddy Holly - Greatest Hits Vol. 2	Another difference in label. My copy has gregs45's side 2 label, but differences in Side 1. I take it the 1968 date relates to the reprocessed stereo versions.
Focus B 10th Jun 2022		Vinyl Album The Shadows - 20 Golden Greats	I was surprised to hear Foot Tapper in reprocessed stereo, seeing a true stereo version exists.
Focus B 2nd Jun 2022		Vinyl Album Paul Robeson - The Best Of Paul Robeson Vol 2	Images uploaded.
Focus B 30th May 2022		Vinyl Album Faust - The Faust Tapes	I agree Hawkmarty. The text is also at the front of the sleeve on my own copy.
Focus B 30th May 2022		Vinyl Album David Bowie - Don't Be Fooled By The Name	It's pure Tony Hatch. Love it! Although Lee is right in some aspects in his review, this was the first time all his Pye A&B's were made available, and affordably at that.
Focus B 28th May 2022		Vinyl Album The Tony Hatch Sound - The Tony Hatch Sound	Excellent album, clearly performed by the people who backed Petula Clark and others. I almost expected her to start singing on I Know A Place!
Focus B 27th May 2022		Vinyl Album The Tony Hatch Sound - Beautiful In The Rain	Labels uploaded. Sorry about the stickers. Difficult to disguise.
Focus B 24th May 2022		Vinyl Album Various Artists - Hits Greatest Stiffs	Yep, that's the one. Many thanks David.
