GEMSMFAN 27th Mar 2014		Vinyl Album Jackson Browne - The Pretender	1976 is the original release year on the Asylum label. The MFSL release was released in Jan 1982. Note: Mobile Fidelity Sound Lab LP archive
GEMSMFAN 22nd Mar 2014		Vinyl Album Blondie - Parallel Lines	this is a USA release, not Japan. please see: Mobile Fidelity Sound Lab official site and all other 45worlds releases on this label 45worlds Mobile Fidelity Sound Lab USA page. they were all pressed in Japan, but that doesn't make them Japanese releases.
GEMSMFAN 19th Mar 2014		Vinyl Album ABBA - Waterloo	I believe the labels with the darker color-black center-Polydor boxed in, were the 1st pressings.
GEMSMFAN 15th Mar 2014		Vinyl Album ABBA - Honey Honey	The "Ring Ring" album with 2 changes: "Ring Ring (Bara Du Slogan Signal)" and "I Saw It In The Mirror" replaced by "She's My Kind Of Girl" and "Honey Honey". The original release of this was 1974 obviously, but the ABBA logo would mean it is a reissue released no earlier than 1976, when the logo first was printed. It's surprising that labels in many cases don't print the actual year of release, but rather copyright years. Do note something, there is a 2nd catalog number, 2345 103 which is printed only on the record labels (left side).
GEMSMFAN 4th Mar 2014		Vinyl Album Stray Cats - Built For Speed	It took 2 foreign albums released in the UK, before EMI would release this so-call compilation of tracks plus a few new ones, from these crooners here in the U.S. and being that they were a local band from Long Island.
GEMSMFAN 24th Feb 2014		Vinyl Album Various Artists - Happy Days Fonzie Favorites	Track A1, although not mentioned, was the later version of theme and recorded by Pratt & McClain with Brotherlove. That version was used at the start of the show and throughout most of the series' run. The lyrics were rewritten from the original 1974 Pratt & McClain version, which only was used during the end credits, as Bill Haley & His Comets' Rock Around The Clock, was the original opening theme.
GEMSMFAN 24th Feb 2014		Vinyl Album Boney M. - Oceans Of Fantasy	gatefold cover
GEMSMFAN 14th Feb 2014		Vinyl Album Crosby, Stills And Nash - Replay	Isn't the catalog number, SD 16026?
GEMSMFAN 10th Feb 2014		Vinyl Album Stray Cats - Stray Cats	The Stray Cats (from Massapequa, New York--on Long Island) and their Rockabilly style had to go to England to get noticed. They released 2 UK albums, before EMI, in the US signed them.
GEMSMFAN 29th Jan 2014		Vinyl Album Kim Carnes - Rest On Me	a very young Kim Carnes.. long before Bette Davis Eyes!
GEMSMFAN 18th Jan 2014		Vinyl Album Stevie Wonder - Stevie Wonder's Original Musiquarium I	Side One b/w Side Four Side Two b/w Side Three formatted for a record changer
GEMSMFAN 5th Jan 2014		Vinyl Album Stevie Wonder - Looking Back	released in 1977, Wikipedia explains this compilation, although Discogs shows this.
GEMSMFAN 5th Jan 2014		Vinyl Album Timbiriche - Timbiriche 7	future solo artists: Paulina Rubio and Thalía.
GEMSMFAN 29th Dec 2013		Vinyl Album Stevie Wonder - Looking Back	Notes should contain the following: Side One / Side Six (Sides A / F) Side Two / Side Five (Sides B / E) Side Three / Side Four (Sides C / D) formatted for use on a record changer, by flipping the stack over. "Looking Back" was part of Motown's Anthology series, which were 3 record compilations assembled with hits, etc.
GEMSMFAN 21st Dec 2013		Vinyl Album The Beatles - Early Years (2)	my copy is in the same jacket
GEMSMFAN 14th Dec 2013		Vinyl Album Various Artists - A Night At Studio 54	The records in this double LP were formatted for a record changer, Side 1 and 4 are back to back as well as Side 2 and 3. Possibly this was done to allow DJ's to mix between both records.
GEMSMFAN 14th Dec 2013		Vinyl Album Joe Jackson - Blaze Of Glory	While the record itself is definitely a promo, A&M decided to use a commercial jacket (bar code for scanning a purchase). The gold embossed promo stamp wouldn't make this a promo, if the record labels had a commercial catalog number (without the "-DJ" added to the catalog number).
GEMSMFAN 2nd Dec 2013		Vinyl Album The Beatles - Something New	list price was $7.98! Disc-O-Mart, I remember them
GEMSMFAN 10th Nov 2013		Vinyl Album ABBA - Grandes Exitos	The only ABBA cover to include Stig Anderson, who was sometimes called "the fifth member of ABBA" (their manager... he cleverly named the group and was a major contributor to the group's earlier songwriting).
GEMSMFAN 9th Nov 2013		Vinyl Album Björn And Benny, Agnetha And Frida - Ring Ring	this has to be a reissue, because in 1973 they weren't called "ABBA"... this might be 1974/1975 when they were referred as: ABBA (Björn Benny & Agnetha Frida). The first use of ABBA was in 1974. Your release might even be 1976, because ABBA only on labels. Like the Swedish LP (I entered), the original catalog number was still used.
GEMSMFAN 22nd Oct 2013		Vinyl Album ABBA - The Very Best Of ABBA ~ ABBA's Greatest Hits	[YouTube Video]
GEMSMFAN 13th Oct 2013		Vinyl Album The Clancy Brothers And Tommy Makem - In Person At Carnegie Hall	CL 1950 LP images from Discogs... this is on Columbia, unless you have an Export Issue.. Columbia logos covered by red CBS stickers??
GEMSMFAN 28th Sep 2013		Vinyl Album Billy Joel - An Innocent Man	Correct Country You have a South African release on CBS. :)
GEMSMFAN 28th Sep 2013		Vinyl Album Billy Joel - An Innocent Man	not a US release, CBS wasn't a U.S. label. Billy Joel was on Columbia in the U.S... and the catalog number definitely isn't U.S. Check the record labels or back cover small print for correct Country.
GEMSMFAN 26th Sep 2013		Vinyl Album Julio Iglesias - A Mis 33 Años	many of the 1980 Julio Iglesias albums were released earlier, on another label, some not in the USA. The Discos CBS International label debuted in 1980. Many of the artists on the label were either on Caytronics (which was distributed by CBS before 1980) or Discos Columbia. Several of the Discos CBS International Julio LP's were simultaneously released on Columbia.
GEMSMFAN 24th Sep 2013		Vinyl Album Neil Sedaka - Laughter And Tears ~ The Best Of Neil Sedaka Today	a collection of Neil's (revival)... the 70's hits. His "Solitaire" was a hit for the brother/sister, Carpenters and "Love Will Keep Us Together", for duo, The Captain and Tennille
