GimmeVinyl 25th Dec 2019		TV The Beatles (Animated Series) (1965 - 1969)	I can't believe that this wasn't posted until today.. with so many of my fellow Beatles junkies here on 45worlds.. I was a little too young to remember if I'd seen it first run... But I remember it in syndication in the mid 70s on WXON channel 20 in Detroit. Watched every single one of them!
GimmeVinyl 24th Dec 2019		TV Star Trek (1966 - 1969)	My favorite episode? Hands down, A Piece Of The Action... Where Captain Kirk and Spock, dressed in 30s era suits and fedoras, get behind the wheel of a 1932 Cadillac V-12 cabriolet, and Kirk grinds the gears.. Spock erroneously calls it a "flivver", which usually refers to a Model T Ford. Shatner himself would have known better, as he drove a 4 speed 65 Corvette Stingray around this time. "Captain.. as a Starfleet officer, you are most proficient.. but as a taxi driver, you leave much to be desired. "
GimmeVinyl 24th Dec 2019		TV Green Acres (1965 - 1971)	Theme song by the great Vic Mizzy!
GimmeVinyl 24th Dec 2019		TV Lost In Space (1965 - 1968)	Oh? What about Angela Cartwright, on a 1961 episode of The Twilight Zone titled I Sing The Body Electric, as one of the children of David White (later Larry Tate from Bewitched)..
GimmeVinyl 24th Dec 2019		TV The Outer Limits (1963 - 1965)	I remember seeing this for the first time as a rerun on WKBD Channel 50 in the early 70s as a kid. The first episode, The Galaxy Being, with Cliff Robertson scared the hell out if me!!
GimmeVinyl 24th Dec 2019		TV Hogan's Heroes (1965 - 1971)	Hey.. what about the absolutely gorgeous Arlene Martel who played the French contact Tiger? You may also remember her as Spock's bride T'Pring on Star Trek, a Russian cosmonaut on I Dream Of Jeannie that almost made off with Jeannie and her bottle, and a female spy on The Monkees that was trying to recover spy film....
GimmeVinyl 24th Dec 2019		TV Columbo (1968 - 2003)	My two cents.. Peter Falk personally picked out the 1959 Peugeot 403 cabriolet from the Universal vehicle pool. At the time, the car didn't even have a drivetrain! Peugeot actually ended up donating a running 403 cabriolet for Universal to use. As for the clothes that Lt. Columbo wore.. Peter Falk wore his own clothes, to what he felt the Lt. would wear.
GimmeVinyl 24th Dec 2019		TV Are You Being Served? (1972 - 1985)	Glass of water for Mr. Lucas...
GimmeVinyl 24th Dec 2019		TV Monty Python's Flying Circus (1969 - 1974)	I won't ruin this sketch for a Pound....
GimmeVinyl 23rd Dec 2019		Vinyl Album The Who - Meaty, Beaty, Big And Bouncy	Just a few days ago, I passed this particular pressing on to a friend of mine that introduced The Who to his 12 year old daughter, that owns a Audio Technica turntable with Bluetooth... Play it in good health!!! I replaced it with a brand new UMC/Track Records pressing.
GimmeVinyl 23rd Dec 2019		Vinyl Album The Beatles - Revolver	Ahh.. so there is a couple of variations to the label on my latest pressing and the 2012 pressing.. I have the run-out matrix number of 172762E1/A on the A side, 172762E2/A on the B side.
GimmeVinyl 22nd Dec 2019		Vinyl Album Rod Stewart - Every Picture Tells A Story	Ok.. I know this may be a little out if the scope of 45worlds vinyl album list.. but I own a 7 inch 33 on Mercury an excerpt EP of the LP Every Picture Tells A Story. 4 songs are on it.. I Know I'm Losing You, Mandolin Wind, Gasoline Alley, and the title track. Yes, this is a promotional release. I haven't seen it listed anywhere!! I'll have to dig it out of my 45 collection..where it's hiding. Has anyone else ever seen this?
GimmeVinyl 22nd Dec 2019		Vinyl Album The Beatles - Revolver	Ok.. so, my wife bought me a brand new pressing of Revolver for Christmas.. Parlophone label and track listing.. even states PCS 7009 on the back side of the jacket.. To me it sounds stunning.. as compared to the orange label Capitol that is in my collection. My question is... Is this truly a US copy? A little sticker on the cellophane declared Made in Germany. Also..the label is a little different. The small writing on the rim states Mfg by Capitol.. Universal Music Group... And also has wording regarding Apple Corps. Another thing.. The matrix number on the run-out seems to have been applied with a computer. the numerals seem to be made up from a series of dots. Since this is a brand new pressing, purchased in the US, I'm taking a guess that it belongs here, and not under the UK Parlophone listing. Pics of my label coming soon!
GimmeVinyl 22nd Dec 2019		Vinyl Album Lenny Bruce - The Story Of Lenny	If you were to listen to the first track on the B side.. A Pretty Bizarre Show.. you'll know why Lenny was arrested! That was recorded on the night in 1961 when he was arrested for saying "blah blah blah"!!!
GimmeVinyl 22nd Dec 2019		Vinyl Album The Who - Meaty Beaty Big & Bouncy	What? No pics of the way cool Track Records label? We'll just have to see about that!! As Keith Richards said.. "Now dig The Who..."
GimmeVinyl 21st Dec 2019		Vinyl Album The Beatles - The Beatles' Second Album	A couple days ago, I was at a nearby record store thumbing through the used section of The Beatles LPs... And noticed 4 or 5 copies of both The Beatles Second Album, and Something New LPs. The majority were the 71-75 Apple pressings (I avoid orange label pressings.. they just don't look right to me. ). Came across a green C Capitol label of the Second Album. It looked real nice and clean. They have it priced at $19.95. I've heard that the green label pressings are a bit on the rare side. But.. I didn't pull the trigger on this one.. because I have a nice mono Scranton rainbow pressing. If someone is looking for a green label pressing, (probably a Winchester pressing, didn't look that close at it) take a trip to Dearborn Michigan, and head for Dearborn Music.... I'll give you directions.
GimmeVinyl 21st Dec 2019		Vinyl Album Sonny Terry - Sonny Is King!	Yep... It's in stereo!!
GimmeVinyl 18th Dec 2019		Vinyl Album Sonny Terry - Sonny Is King!	I was rather shocked to not see this LP listed! My copy states stereo, on the label. All other copies I had seen state mono, even the Fantasy rerelease of 1973. Haven't played it in a while. I'll have to see for myself if it's in stereo or not... Lightnin' Hopkins side recorded 1960, Brownie McGhee side recorded 1962.
GimmeVinyl 16th Dec 2019		Edison Diamond Disc Golden Gate Orchestra [California Ramblers] - Shake / What A Man!	Forgot about that.. I went with the matrix number being lower on the A side...
GimmeVinyl 16th Dec 2019		Vinyl Album Nirvana - MTV Unplugged In New York	Looks like I have to take a couple pics. Mine's on black vinyl.
GimmeVinyl 16th Dec 2019		Vinyl Album Huey "Piano" Smith And The Clowns - Serious Clownin': The History Of Huey "Piano" Smith And The Clowns	I really love the label mascot.. it's a parody of the London label's Parrot... The album has some good stuff on it too...
GimmeVinyl 15th Dec 2019		Vinyl Album Glenn Miller And His Orchestra - The Best Of Glenn Miller, Vol. 2	I know I own this.. but I'll betcha it's an American RCA Victor pressing on the yellowish orange label. I'm claiming it for now, until I can exhume my copy from the archive, and see for sure. Too bad my copy doesn't have its jacket.. but at least it's in a plastic lined sleeve.
GimmeVinyl 15th Dec 2019		Vinyl Album Joe Cocker - Mad Dogs & Englishmen	Awesome album! But, there was some stuff from the film hat didn't make it on to the LP... Like the cover of Let It Be as sung by Claudia Lennear.
GimmeVinyl 15th Dec 2019		Vinyl Album Tom Waits - Small Change	Yeah...Small Change got rained on with his own .38... Even though Nighthawks At The Diner is my fave Tom Waits album, this one does have some very cool stuff on it!
GimmeVinyl 13th Dec 2019		Vinyl Album Martha And The Vandellas - Greatest Hits	Reissued on the Motown label.. M5-204V1. Also stereo Gordy GS-917
GimmeVinyl 13th Dec 2019		Vinyl Album Elvis Presley - Elvis Presley	Ok.. as for the Nipper argument.. seems like Emile Berliner had acquired the US rights to Nipper in 1900, and became the trademark of the Victor Talking Machine Company in 1901. The Gramophone Company used an angel scribing grooves onto a disc on their label at first.. and didn't use Nipper on their record labels until February, 1909... So much for the notion of leasing Nipper..
GimmeVinyl 13th Dec 2019		Vinyl Album Elvis Presley - Elvis' Golden Records	Yeah.. top scan labels are from 1965 through 1967, I believe.. and probably discontinued in '68, along with all other mono RCA Victor LPs. I'd prefer to have a copy of this mono release rather than the late '70s-80s electronically processed stereo version I was given.. that echo is over the top, man...
GimmeVinyl 13th Dec 2019		Vinyl Album Elvis Presley - Elvis Presley	Hmm.. one more thought here.. Neil states that gramophones and records were the last thing on RCA's mind.. kind a beg to differ on that.. because General Electric owned NBC, as well as RCA..and what better place to find music and performers than the Victor record division, because you already own the rights... That is the biggest reason CBS purchased Columbia Records back from the American Record Corporation in 1938....
GimmeVinyl 13th Dec 2019		Vinyl Album Elvis Presley - Elvis Presley	An interesting argument, Niel.. but.. Victor was using the Nipper trademark before and after the sale to RCA. Look at the bottom of the label of a Victor or a Bluebird 78 of the 30's and 40's and notice the "Made by RCA Manufacturing Company, Camden NJ". Why would RCA stop using a well known and trusted trademark? An exception to this were the RCA "transcription program" discs of the early 30's, which were the first 33 1/3 rpm records offered to the American public, that had the RCA "meatball" and omitted both the Victor and Nipper trademarks. The RCA meatball did finally appear on both Victor and Bluebird 78s in 1943. Victor and Bluebird were finally supplanted in 1946 by the RCA Victor label, keeping Nipper and the wording "His Master's Voice". As for the the Capitol side of things, Capitol started back in 1942 and wasn't a part of EMI, until purchased by EMI in 1955. The Capitol trademark of the Capitol building in D.C. is still a well known and respected trademark in its own right.
GimmeVinyl 13th Dec 2019		Vinyl Album Various Artists - Homer	Never seen the film.. but what an awesome soundtrack!!
