Jasper 24th Jun 2017 | | Cassette AlbumThe Platters - Platters Anniversary Album | Added tape shell images to this album better known as "The Platters 10th anniversary Album".
|
Jasper 20th Jun 2017 | | CD AlbumCliff Richard - The Hit List | Thanks Lee and MM - N.B I will add the disc images again as the ones I added were not cropped (correction requested). I'll leave it here and move on.
|
Jasper 20th Jun 2017 | | CD AlbumCliff Richard - The Hit List | Thanks Lee, If I list it again as Australian then I will be adding exactly the same cat# and bar code (as we enter it as a string). kab2112 is a MOD so I will see what he or other MODS think.
|
Jasper 19th Jun 2017 | | CD AlbumCliff Richard - The Hit List | Do we have a case for "International" here? Added back tray inlay and disc images from my CD - discs have "Digital Audio Technologies Australia" logo. The only difference I can see as far as numbers are concerned are the font/spacings at the bottom of the bar code.

Jasper 18th Jun 2017 | | Vinyl AlbumOlivia Newton-John - If Not For You | Actually just listening to the Lightfoot version the lyrics are the same.
|
Jasper 18th Jun 2017 | | Vinyl AlbumOlivia Newton-John - If Not For You | I have this on a download of the LP (73117) and it is predominantly sung as "If You Could Read My Mind" at the 49 second mark she sings "If I Could Read Your Mind" - just the once. Lyrics otherwise are pretty much same as the original Lightfoot version. So I don't think it's a misprint.
|
Jasper 15th Jun 2017 | | Vinyl AlbumJohnny Horton - The Legendary Johnny Horton | Hi jockeysteve, I have this album under cat # MFP 5823 with an MFP "special award series" logo on the front. I am interested what is on your copy MFP logo - I can make out "... anniversary special". Looks like this is from around 1974/5 - I bought mine most probably in 1971. Seems strange that they released it twice.
|
Jasper 28th May 2017 | | Vinyl AlbumJohnny Cash - Come In Stranger | Hi Lee, yes the album you mention should have a separate entry. I actually bought mine from a newsagency in Waterloo (near Redfern) in Sydney where I was living at the time.
|
Jasper 28th May 2017 | | Vinyl AlbumJohnny Cash - Come In Stranger | Hi MoreFloyd - I started keeping a date of purchase notation in my database as of May 1972 and I bought this earlier. Probably early 1972 or even 1971. Michael De Looper's database has SRA 250-038 The Wild One Rocks Again - Johnny O'Keefe as 1972. This is generally a good guide. I might add that your copy looks in good nick - the back of mine is covered in age spots.
|
Jasper 26th Apr 2017 | | Vinyl AlbumBlack Sabbath - Vol. 4 | Just a bit of info re these labels.
7 Records was renamed Powderworks in September 1981 after 7 Records chief Ken Harding led a management buy-out. More info is on this Michael DeLooper pdf.
M7 7records Powderworks

Jasper 26th Mar 2017 | | Vinyl AlbumSonny And Cher - Look At Us | What is the rule/guide as far as adding (as in this case) an ad for the album. Personally I thought that if it was not part of the album then it shouldn't be here. Not that I am apposed to having them added to the site somewhere (45 Spaces?). I have a scrapbook full of such ads and record reviews mainly from the '70s from Record Mirror, Sounds, Rolling Stone, NME, Go-Set, Soundblast, ARC and WRC catalogues etc.
|
Jasper 21st Mar 2017 | | CD AlbumPetula Clark - The Most Of Petula Clark | As a matter of interest I was asked recently which tracks were in stereo seeing there is no indication on the inlay - Stereo tracks are - Colour My World, Melody Man, The Song Of My Life and Who Am I.
|
Jasper 19th Mar 2017 | | Vinyl AlbumElvis Presley - Elvis | I thought the track list on this looked familiar - same as Australian release "Rock 'N' On 24 Legendary Hits"- RCA – SP-135 also a 1973 release. Except the Australian release has an extra track on each side - A6 - Heartbreak Hotel, B6 - Blue Suede Shoes, C6 - Wooden Heart and D6 - Viva Las Vegas.
|
Jasper 14th Mar 2017 | | Vinyl AlbumSimon And Garfunkel - Sounds Of Silence / Parsley, Sage, Rosemary And Thyme | Michael De Loopers database shows the release date May 1984 for this package under cat# 241078. I don't think that this should be linked to the individual albums and also I think that the date should be changed from 1966 as although the individual cat #s may be from that year this package was not available then.
|
Jasper 9th Mar 2017 | | Vinyl AlbumElvis Presley - I Got Lucky | Just the other day I was looking through my old record purchases and noted that I bought a few RCA albums through World Record Club in 1979 and presumed there must have been an association between EMI and RCA at the time. So presumably these were pressed by EMI. I bought a re-issue of Elvis' Gold Records Vol 2, Al Stewart - Year Of The Cat, Perry Como - And I Love You So - I also remember at least one Bowie album in their catalogue.
|
Jasper 16th Feb 2017 | | CD AlbumThe Guess Who - Canned Wheat | No problem - I've asked for it to be removed.
|
Jasper 15th Feb 2017 | | CD AlbumThe Guess Who - Canned Wheat | Thanks for the clarification mojofilter - I just presumed that the D 106451 was part of the address. I will ask for it to be removed from this entry.
|
Jasper 15th Feb 2017 | | Vinyl AlbumBilly Joel - Piano Man | Thanks wax_museum also confirms that the first CBS issue cover was not laminated.
|
Jasper 15th Feb 2017 | | Vinyl AlbumBilly Joel - Piano Man | If someone has the solid orange labels for this please feel free to add as a priority over my label images. Just noticed that my copy is matte both sides (not laminated) unusual for CBS releases I presume the first CBS release of this was the same.
|
Jasper 14th Feb 2017 | | CD AlbumThe Guess Who - Canned Wheat | Added alternate back tray insert without bar code to this Canadian release - I presume that it is O.K. to add it here.
|
Jasper 14th Feb 2017 | | Vinyl AlbumThe Beatles - Love Songs | cptbeefheart - actually you only have to look as far as the India linked release below for an example.
|
Jasper 13th Feb 2017 | | Vinyl AlbumThe Beatles - Love Songs | Hi kab2112 - thank you for the polite response, at least I can see where you are coming from now. Thankfully this is a fairly rare occurrence and I'm all for consistency - I still believe that the pack cat# should be the primary number. I could see this one becoming a bit contentious after following the comments in CD World with the Abbey Road U.S.A. long box release.
|
Jasper 13th Feb 2017 | | Vinyl AlbumThe Beatles - Love Songs | kab2112 - "This site specifically asks for the cat# to be taken from the labels," I have also never seen these guidelines perhaps you could let us know where we can find them. They are not in the guide for adding albums that I can see.
|
Jasper 12th Feb 2017 | | Vinyl AlbumMarty Gold - Moog Plays The Beatles | Australian release had a "Startling Sound Excitement" label printed on the front cover across their bits.
|
Jasper 12th Feb 2017 | | Vinyl AlbumYehudi Menuhin And Stephane Grappelli - Fascinatin' Rhythm | The first time I really took notice of Stephane Grapelli (I'd heard the name a long way back) was on the Hobo's Blues track on Paul Simon's self titled album - I have since come to appreciate this talented always up tempo musician - just brings a smile to my face listening to this genius who makes it seem so easy.
|
Jasper 12th Feb 2017 | | Cassette AlbumCreedence Clearwater Revival - Chronicle | Bought this one In Kuala Lumpur in 1978. Found it amusing that they could misspell Creedence as "greedence" on the cover.
|
Jasper 12th Feb 2017 | | CD AlbumHarpers Bizarre - Feelin' Groovy | Hi Lee, I am happy for this one to stay as U.S.A. The only ones that I object to are ones that have made in Australia or marketing/distribution details that are peculiar to Australia having to be entered as International just because bar code and cat # match like the first CD I entered here
|
Jasper 12th Feb 2017 | | CD AlbumHarpers Bizarre - Feelin' Groovy | Added booklet, tray inlay and disc images.
|
Jasper 7th Feb 2017 | | CD AlbumThe Mamas And The Papas - The Very Best Of The Mamas And The Papas | Added additional pages from inlay.
|
Jasper 2nd Feb 2017 | | Vinyl AlbumPeter Allen - Taught By Experts | Front Cover has the generic "Featuring The Hit Single" sticker in this case presumably referring to I Go To Rio.
