JamesTrash 14th Nov 2019 | | Vinyl AlbumVarious Artists - Business Unusual (The Other Record Collection) | My copy is yellow (amber?) vinyl but I'm missing the poster, I do have one of the later Zig Zag small labels catalogues.
I don't think this was in the shops until 1979, maybe March?

JamesTrash 14th Nov 2019 | | Vinyl AlbumVarious Artists - The Crap Stops Here | The best track on this is 'Yesterday - Tomorrow' by The Freshies despite the presence of 'Jilted John'!
|
JamesTrash 14th Nov 2019 | | Vinyl AlbumGeneration X - The Best Of Generation X | The version of 'Wild Youth' on this doesn't have any of Billy's vocals on the verses, just the 'wild wild wild youth' chant. Not sure if they intended to include that version or if it was done in error?
|
JamesTrash 14th Nov 2019 | | Vinyl AlbumVarious Artists - 20 Of Another Kind | The release date was 16th February 1979 and entered the charts a week later. Way better than your average hits comp.
|
JamesTrash 13th Nov 2019 | | Vinyl AlbumBuzzcocks - Singles Going Steady | Release date for this was November 1981 (correction submitted). Would it be worth adding an unreleased entry for the aborted December 1979 United Artists version?
|
JamesTrash 13th Nov 2019 | | Vinyl AlbumBuzzcocks - Another Music In A Different Kitchen | Part of EMI's 'price attack' mid-price series. The sleeve is identical to the original including the United Artists logo on the back, except the photo on the front is black and white instead of colour. Labels are cream Liberty design. Black inner sleeve like the original but with the catalogue number on the back instead of the front.
|
JamesTrash 13th Nov 2019 | | Vinyl AlbumCyanide - Cyanide | Pye Records token punk band. There's a bootleg of this from the late 90's with bonus tracks.
|
JamesTrash 12th Nov 2019 | | Vinyl AlbumVarious Artists - Who's A Punk? | Great 'fake punk' comp. All tracks sourced from singles except A6 and B4 which are from a De Wolfe Records library music LP. The photo on the sleeve is Roger Daltrey given a punk makeover for a Melody Maker cover in 1977.
|
JamesTrash 12th Nov 2019 | | Vinyl AlbumThe Vacants - Punk Rock | Studio only UK band featuring Guy Greenhough and Jeff Jansen later of Mouth To Mouth. The original plan was to record punk covers (Pistols, Clash, Ramones etc) for Beatt International who licensed to budget labels worldwide. Only the Ramones cover survived, instead they recorded originals and a few 60's garage classics.

JamesTrash 9th Nov 2019 | | Vinyl AlbumThe Buzzards [Leyton Buzzards] - Jellied Eels To Record Deals | Bracketed with their former name due to another later Detroit band already on here.
I once asked Geoff Deane about the name change, he said 'fuck knows', then suggested management must've thought it a good idea. Obviously the band didn't agree as they went back to being Leyton Buzzards after leaving Chrysalis.
Great album despite it being basically a compilation of singles, a few unreleased tracks and BBC sessions. Details below...
B4 from SMALL 7 (produced by Andre Jacquemin).
A2/B7 from CHS 2288 (produced by Steve Lillywhite).
A3/A7/B8 from CHS 2328 (produced by Steve Lillywhite).
B6 from CHS 2360 (produced by Chas Chandler).
B9 from a John Peel Session 22/01/79 (produced by Bob Sargeant).
B5 from a John Peel Session 06/06/79 (produced by Tony Wilson).
A1/A4/A6 from a BBC session 1979 (produced by John Etchells).
B1 from a BBC session 1979 (produced by Bill Aitken).
A5/A8/B2 were at the time previously unreleased studio tracks (A5 produced by Steve James, the other 2 by Andre Jacquemin). A8 was later released on K 18284.
The non Peel BBC sessions were likely for Mike Read and Kid Jensen.
B3 is a matter of debate. The credits suggest it's from CHS 2360 only it's not the same recording. It could be an alt version from the same sessions but just sounds too different. Could be another BBC session track (not Peel) and included in error or credited wrong.

JamesTrash 9th Nov 2019 | | Vinyl AlbumBuzzcocks - Time's Up | Added catalogue number from matrix (Lyntone) and the sleeve from the 2nd pressing, the 1st pressing has a different red sleeve as later used on the recent official Domino release.
Recorded at Revolution Studios, Manchester in October 1976, except B6 which is sourced from 'Spiral Scratch'. The official title of B1 is 'Lester Sands (Drop In The Ocean)' and B5 is actually 2 tracks sequenced together - 'I Love You, You Big Dummy' and ' 'Don't Mess Me 'Round'.
|
JamesTrash 8th Nov 2019 | | Vinyl AlbumThe Vibrators - Batteries Included | Images added. Agree with ppint regarding CBS Embassy as the label.
Catalogue number on the back sleeve and spine is CBS 31840, on the label and dead wax it's S CBS 31840. Strange as I've always associated the 'S' prefix with singles on CBS/Epic. Maybe it's also a mid-price/budget thing?
