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.

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.
|
Fokeman 8th Aug 2024 | | CD AlbumThe Velvet Underground And Nico - The Velvet Underground And Nico | I think if there are sufficient differences between the UK (Universal and Made in UK) issue and the European (Polydor and Made in Germany) issue, then they should be considered as different. It would therefore be helpful to add the details of the other, UK issue, to the site.
|
Fokeman 7th Aug 2024 | | CD AlbumDream Theater - Awake | These images are clearly the German/Europe GEMA/BIEM issue, not the USA issue.
(now moved to the European issue. Mod.)
|
Fokeman 2nd Aug 2024 | | Vinyl AlbumSonny Terry, Brownie McGhee, Coyal McMahan - Get On Board | It's possible to date this to 1961 from other Ricordi issues and also from the Marconi pressing codes. Compare with 1960 here... and 1962 here...
Also the Ricordi catalogue number refers to 25 (cm=10") and then number 23, dating it to circa November 1961.
|
Fokeman 1st Aug 2024 | | Vinyl AlbumJean Ritchie - Songs From Kentucky | I'm now swaying between calling this a UK or US issue. I think probably it was an entirely US issue? Any thoughts?
I'm certain that this exists as a UK issue. But I'm not 100% sure that the images are of the original UK issue or the issue which Westminster put out in the USA? Or even a later issue put out in the UK using the American pressing?

Fokeman 30th Jul 2024 | | Vinyl AlbumPageant - Pageant | B3 should have been called Carolina In My Mind but was actually called Carolina On My Mind on both sleeve and label. On the other hand, they also reference Ewan McColl which is another typo. All credits are roughly given in the sleeve notes rather than correctly allocating composer credits to the individual songs.

Fokeman 3rd Jul 2024 | | Vinyl AlbumMiquèu Montanaro - Viatge | My rough translation of "... e La Machota" would be something like "... and friends" or "... and his gang". It is an example of Occitan / Provençal which comes from Spanish / Catalan (or at least shares similar Latin roots) and has many imprecise meanings. Miquèu Montanaro is in the group that plays with Danièl Daumàs on this same label and Danièl Daumàs plays on this LP. Both LPs have credits to the singer and "... la Machota" so they are both in each other's gangs, which seems to make sense. It could also be the name that they gave themselves but it is not found on the internet without it being linked to these two LPs, where it is linked to music.
|
Fokeman 2nd Jul 2024 | | Vinyl AlbumDanièl Daumàs - La Flor De Libertat | The first on the label. T 1 indicates that this is the first, as all others on the label, despite a varying number of noughts preceding the number are T2, T3, T4, and C1 (a 7")
