jordansongs 8th Dec 2021		12" Single Shakin' Stevens - Merry Christmas Everyone (Extended Version)	This was definitely released in 1985. This was the standard issue 12" as compared to the special edition advent calendar sleeve.
jordansongs 3rd Mar 2021		Vinyl Album Shakin' Stevens And The Sunsets - Tiger	Thank you Mr Marmalade. I would say the linked French issue is exactly the same as this one, pressed in France but for the UK market. I would certainly suggest using Svend's superior images over mine though if the two entries were to be merged. Around about 1984 the Everest label seems to have changed its name to Premier and maybe these '1984' labels come from that crossover period. The later Everest labels even use the same typeface as the replacement Premier label. See, for example, Everest CBR 1008 and Premier CBR 1008.
jordansongs 3rd Mar 2021		Vinyl Album Shakin' Stevens And The Sunsets - Tiger	This album was definitely released in 1982 (when I purchased my copy), not 1984. The later labels seem to have misleadingly added a 1984 copyright date. The recordings themselves were actually made with the Sunsets in Holland around 1974 and were rough demos never intended for proper release. They were leased to several different labels around Europe in the early '80s when Shaky was at the height of his popularity.
jordansongs 6th Apr 2020		CD Single Queen - Bohemian Rhapsody (Single Version)	I remember seeing quite a few of these kind of releases on sale in HMV back in the 90s, so they must have been legal, even if Parlophone had no input into the packaging. See also Love Me Do.
jordansongs 2nd Dec 2019		Live Music The Beatles @ Princess Theatre	Advertising poster added.
jordansongs 21st Aug 2019		Vinyl Album George Harrison - Dark Horse Presents A Personal Music Dialogue With George Harrison At 33 1/ॐ	This LP can be heard here: [YouTube Video]
jordansongs 12th Jun 2019		Vinyl Album The Beatles - The Beatles' First	Am I right in thinking there are no pressings of this album with the mono mix? My copy has mono labels but a stereo mix (true stereo by the way, not reprocessed). If this is so, isn't it inaccurate to describe it as a 'Mono LP' and shouldn't this listing be merged with the stereo issue? Effectively the only difference between the two releases are label variations and some minor changes to the rear sleeve.
jordansongs 9th Jan 2018		Vinyl Album The Kinks - The Kinks Are The Village Green Preservation Society	ppint., hope you weren't in a rush for a reply. :D The record plays the mono mix.
jordansongs 30th Aug 2016		Vinyl Album Sex Pistols - Never Mind The Bollocks Here's The Sex Pistols	Magic Marmalade, this is Bill Price's explanation for the unusual production credit: "The simple facts of the matter were that Chris was hired by Malcolm (McLaren) to do a series of singles for the Sex Pistols. I was hired by Malcolm to do a series of album tracks with the Sex Pistols. Life got slightly complicated, because I did a few album tracks that Chris remade as singles. Also, Chris started a couple of tracks, which got abandoned as singles, which I remade to be used as album tracks. On quite a large number of songs, when we'd finished the album, we had two versions of the song. I couldn't quite understand why Malcolm kept chopping and changing between different versions of different songs. It slowly dawned on Chris and myself that Malcolm was trying to slip between two stools and not pay Chris or me. So we said, "I'll tell you what, Malcolm. Whatever's on the Sex Pistols' album, it was either done by me or Chris, and you can pay us and we'll divvy it out amongst our little selves." Which is what we did. But it did force that very strange credit, simply because the sleeve was printed long before it was finally decided which version of each individual song was on the record. If we'd known, it would have said 'produced by Bill Price' or 'produced by Chris Thomas'. That's how you ended up with that credit, 'produced by Bill Price or Chris Thomas'."
jordansongs 3rd May 2016		Vinyl Album Matthews' Southern Comfort - Matthew's Southern Comfort	I think technically this was an Ian Matthews solo album, although nowhere on the record does it actually suggest that. Only Gordon Huntley from these sessions went on to be a member of the group Matthews Southern Comfort (note lack of apostrophe) that made the two albums following this release. The single from the album, Colorado Springs Eternal, was credited to Matthews' Southern Comfort however (with the apostrophe). I believe by the time they got to Woodstock, Matthews Southern Comfort was a fully fledged band. These labels look Dutch to me and have the apostrophe in the wrong place. Also, pseudonym or not, shouldn't the composer credits match what's printed on the record?
jordansongs 15th Apr 2016		Vinyl Album Shakin' Stevens - Greatest Hits	No respect due to me cronkey! Your images should be transferred here and this entry should be deleted (with all due respect to dr.pepper1952....) ;) [I've performed the move of images and comments. To speed up corrections (this one took 2 years), please file a Make Correction request in the future. Mod.]

jordansongs 29th Nov 2015		CD Single Shakin' Stevens - Echoes Of Merry Christmas Everyone	[YouTube Video]
jordansongs 25th Nov 2015		Vinyl Album The Beatles - The Beatles [The White Album]	I know John and Yoko rented Ringo's flat in Montagu Square around about 68/69. Maybe John left his copy there and Ringo 'forgot' to return it...
jordansongs 25th Nov 2015		Vinyl Album The Beatles - The Beatles [The White Album]	If ever there was a candidate for a primary image I reckon that's it Rob!
jordansongs 24th Nov 2015		Vinyl Album John Lennon - Walls And Bridges	Added front and back sleeves in their various 'flap permutations' as well as the inner sleeve and booklet. My copy has a South African pressing inside, as seen here. I'm wondering if the vinyl was imported into the UK (a lot of UK singles at the time were overseas pressings due, I think, to lack of production during the three-day week) or alternatively the complicated nature of the sleeve meant it couldn't be produced in South Africa and that had to be imported from the UK. Can anyone shed any more light on this?
