Fokeman 28th Sep 2024 | | Vinyl AlbumVarious Artists - His Holiness Pope John Paul II | Just for completeness' sake!
|
Fokeman 21st Sep 2024 | | Vinyl AlbumJacqui And Bridie - Come Day, Go Day | This date is miles out! The date was 1977 but the first issue was on Canon not on NEVIS. This was probably round about 1980.
|
Fokeman 16th Sep 2024 | | Vinyl AlbumPeter Seeger - Darling Corey | Much better...
|
Fokeman 16th Sep 2024 | | Vinyl AlbumPeter Seeger - Darling Corey | Yes, that is a VERY bright blue, not really reflecting the actual colour of the labels.
|
Fokeman 13th Sep 2024 | | Vinyl AlbumHarry Robertson [Composer] - Hawk The Slayer | This is not the Australian folk singer but an English composer called Harry Robinson who went by Harry Robertson professionally.
|
Fokeman 13th Sep 2024 | | Vinyl AlbumHarry Robertson - Whale Chasing Men: Songs Of Whaling In Ice And Sun | AKA Dark Engine Room but also AKA "Little Pot Stove" as recorded by Nic Jones and many other singers since.
|
Fokeman 13th Sep 2024 | | Vinyl AlbumNic Jones - Penguin Eggs | Little Pot Stove was originally "Wee Pot Stove" and was written by Harry Robertson for his LP "Whale Chasing Men". Nic Jones did not claim songwriting credit but allocated it Copyright Control "C.C.". probably because he didn't know who wrote it at the time.
Likewise he did not credit himself or "Trad. Arr." for "Farewell To The Gold" which was written by Australian Paul Metsers, a wonderful songwriter, who performed it himself on one of his several LPs.
|
Fokeman 3rd Sep 2024 | | Vinyl AlbumSledgehammer - Blood On Their Hands | There's another cover for this record with different images front and back. Same address on the back and an Import sticker for France on the front showing it was bought in FNAC.
|
Fokeman 1st Sep 2024 | | Vinyl AlbumDjango Reinhardt Et Le Quintette Du H. C. F. - Django Reinhardt Et Le Quintette Du H. C. F. Avec Stephane Grappelli Et Hubert Rostaing | Songe D'Automne written by Archibald Joyce in fact and incorrectly attributed to Reinhardt.
|
Fokeman 1st Sep 2024 | | Vinyl AlbumDjango Reinhardt - Django Reinhardt Volume II | Likewise "Songe" is a dream - Dream of Autumn, rather than Song D'Automne. Again, the rear of sleeve has it correctly. Although, saying that, they credit it to Reinhardt himself on the rear of sleeve when the label gives it as Archibald Joyce. Archibald Joyce.
Neither can the numbers be relied upon - 39 is 39 on label and sleeve but 49 is 48 on the sleeve?
|
Fokeman 31st Aug 2024 | | Vinyl AlbumDjango Reinhardt - Django Reinhardt Volume II | I wonder, just wonder if Vendred 13 was actually Vendredi 3, or even Vendredi 13 (Friday the 13th)?
The rear cover seems to favour the latter.

|
Fokeman 12th Aug 2024 | | Vinyl AlbumAr Penseerien - Fest-Noz Gant Penseerien | This was bought in a shop in Brittany in 1984. This does not give a release date but it must have been close to that date that it was first available.

I agree with annaloog, Westminster should be the primary label here. It's not that unusual for US releases of UK Decca recordings to not be on London, who would have had the right of first refusal, and anything they didn't want they licensed out via their Declon division to whoever did want it.
I'm not sure I understand what you are saying here. This is not a Decca recording. It was an Argo recording and well before any link between Decca and Argo. Decca aquired Argo eventually (in 1957) but in the early days it was an organisation set up by Harvey Usill and independent. There was no automatic right of London to issue the recordings.

Fokeman 10th Aug 2024 | | Vinyl AlbumJean Ritchie - Songs From Kentucky | Thanks for your input. RG 3 does appear on the label but the RG 17 very clearly applies to this release on the inside of the gatefold sleeve.
