jp975345_cat 31st Oct 2023		Vinyl Album Poco - Rose Of Cimarron	I have this 1976 UK release ABCL 5166, but it has a black label (see discogs) But the front cover is like the US release. My cover, doesn't have the 'Poco Rose of Cimarron' (in black printing, top left corner) nor is there a colour roundel ('Poco Rose of Cimarron with a red rose in the middle), printed (top right corner) on the cover. I presume, it had the round sticker (on the shrink wrap), now long gone.
jp975345_cat 29th Oct 2023		12" Single Bob Marley And The Wailers - Exodus	Mine has a gold card sleeve, themed like the LP's cover
jp975345_cat 21st Oct 2023		Vinyl Album The Psychedelic Furs - Talk Talk Talk	1st (1000?) copies came with a free T-Shirt (which I still have!!!). T-Shirt featured an image of Talk, Talk Talk's cover.
jp975345_cat 20th Oct 2023		Vinyl Album Santana - Lotus	Only available as import (from Japan) in the US and UK when issued (on vinyl) in 1974. Not issued in US (on vinyl) until 2000. Never issued in UK (on vinyl). Issued (on CD) US & UK 1991. nb. due to misprint on all 1974 artwork.Track E2 should be titled 'Mr. Edo' NOT 'Savor'
jp975345_cat 20th Oct 2023		Vinyl Album Devadip Carlos Santana / Turiya Alice Coltrane - Illuminations	'Linked Releases' section missing I can find a (unlinked) Netherlands release https://www.45worlds.com/vinyl/album/cbs69063 a UK release (which I own) CBS S 69063, 1974 (is not listed on 45Worlds) I know this album had a Quad mix as well, so I suspect SQ vinyl is out there (somewhere?)
jp975345_cat 20th Oct 2023		Vinyl Album Santana - Santana [III]	Yes the title of this album is 'Santana', not to be confused with the 1st album, which has the title of 'Santana'. Hope that clears up any confusion :)
jp975345_cat 18th Oct 2023		Vinyl Album The Specials - More Specials	Always thought the colour photo front cover was a mistake, they should of stuck with black & white cover artwork. It's a 2-Tone theme! The 'music biz' opinion of the 1st album's monochrome front was that it restricted sales (which may of had some truth in the US market).
jp975345_cat 18th Oct 2023		Vinyl Album The Specials - The Specials	So, is this album called 'The Specials' or just 'Specials'? Based on a conversation, I had with Terry Hall, his opinion was the album was titled 'Specials'
jp975345_cat 18th Oct 2023		Vinyl Album Steeleye Span - Hark! The Village Wait	My cover had a magenta ink failure during the CMYK printing process, so it is a weird blue-black only colour
jp975345_cat 17th Oct 2023		Vinyl Album UB40 - Signing Off	1st copies of the LP issued with a cover that used the identical 'card stock' that was 'employed' (sic) by the official UK Government for the DHSS 'signing on' document 'UB40'
jp975345_cat 17th Oct 2023		Vinyl Album Ultravox! - Ultravox!	A1 - Satday Night In The City Of The Dead spelt A1 - Saturday Night In The City Of The Dead on subsequent releases
jp975345_cat 17th Oct 2023		Vinyl Album Amon Düül II - Live In London	I was at this gig. The opening crowd noises (of this LP) perfectly convey the somewhat squalid atmosphere of the venue.
jp975345_cat 14th Oct 2023		Vinyl Album John Mayall With Eric Clapton - Blues Breakers	Can the date (1966) of this LP be correct? My understanding is that the Stereo mix wasn't undertaken until 1968/1969.
jp975345_cat 14th Oct 2023		Vinyl Album John Mayall With Eric Clapton - Blues Breakers	In the mid seventies, I had to wait around for several hours at Decca. To kill some time I was allowed to browse through Decca's 'music releases' card index. Being a John Mayall fan the first thing I looked at was the 'bluesbreaker' cards. I can confirm that in Decca's opinion, the album title is 'Blues Breakers' and the artist is 'John Mayall with Eric Clapton'. I've been telling people this information for 40+ years! So I was pleased to see that 45worlds has this listed correctly.
jp975345_cat 14th Oct 2023		Vinyl Album John Mayall And The Bluesbreakers - John Mayall Plays John Mayall	In the mid seventies, I had to wait around for several hours at Decca. To kill some time I was allowed to browse through Decca's 'music releases' card index. Being a John Mayall fan the first thing I looked at was the 'bluesbreaker' cards. I was surprised to see that in Decca's opinion when they pressed the first album it was titled 'John Mayall and The Bluesbreakers'. In the notes section it mentioned 'recorded Hampstead (Klooks Kleek)', some engineering equipment details and publishing rights info. There was no mention of 'John Mayall plays John Mayall'!
