Klepsie 25th Oct 2013 | | CD SingleThe Wonder Stuff - Full Of Life (Happy Now) | Second single from Construction for the Modern Idiot album. UK charts #28.
|
Klepsie 25th Oct 2013 | | CD SingleDodgy - The Big Funky CD Box | Very fancy and rather fun packaging on this one; hope it's clear from the images which scans go where in the whole thing. #38 UK charts (later remixed reissue made #19). Track one from Homegrown album, other three appear to only have been issued on this release.
|
Klepsie 25th Oct 2013 | | CD SingleTurin Brakes - Pain Killer (Radio Edit) | Their best selling single release to date (#5 UK charts). From the LP Ether Song (where it had the longer title "Pain Killer (Summer Rain)").
|
Klepsie 25th Oct 2013 | | CD SingleGreen Day - Warning (Album Version) | Hmm, perhaps. Though the intro to "Warning" always puts me more in mind of the Kinks' "Picture Book".
|
Klepsie 25th Oct 2013 | | CD SingleTerrorvision - Middleman | Second release from their second album How To Make Friends and Influence People.
Writer credits for "Wishing Well" omit Paul Kossoff.
|
Klepsie 25th Oct 2013 | | CD SingleThe Last Of The Troubadours - Sooner The Better.... | A little dubious about putting "Delicious Junction" down as the label, as they're really a shoe company who appear to be sponsoring the band (!), but it was that or none. Neo-mod style band featuring the bassist out of the Rifles (whom they've toured with).
|
Klepsie 24th Oct 2013 | | CD SingleJukebox The Ghost - Hold It In | Two tracks from their first album "Let Live And Let Ghosts". No cat no evident anywhere, but have taken it (along with release date) from record company website. Commercially available only as download or 7" single.
|
Klepsie 24th Oct 2013 | | CD SingleCinema Red And Blue - Butterbean Crypt EP | Seems to have been commercially available only as download or limited edition 10" vinyl. Track 2 is a Beau Brummels cover.
|
Klepsie 24th Oct 2013 | | CD SingleThe Love Me Tenders - The Jackhole EP | Seems to mainly be available as a download (which is where the title and release date are taken from) but CD copies are available at their gigs (and they're well worth catching live).
|
Klepsie 24th Oct 2013 | | CD SingleThe Sindys - Camp Launderette | Presumably a St Albans band given the address on back cover and the fact that I bought this from them after seeing them at a (very good) gig in that town. Could arguably be a mini-album but they call it an EP here and who am I to argue? That page reveals that some of the Sindys are now playing in a band called the Trailer Trash Orchestra.
|
Klepsie 24th Oct 2013 | | CD SingleGreen Day - Redundant (Richard Dodd Medium Wide Mix) | Tracks 1 and 2 from Nimrod album; track 3 originally on the early ep "Slappy" (although there it's called "Paper Lanterns").
|
Klepsie 23rd Oct 2013 | | CD SingleGreen Day - Warning (Album Version) | From Warning album. #27 UK charts.
Track three is a cover of a Husker Du song from the Candy Apple Grey album.
|
Klepsie 23rd Oct 2013 | | CD SingleThe Dandy Warhols - You Were The Last High | Second single off "Welcome to the Monkey House" album. #34 UK charts.
Label name problematic; several references to "Capitol" but no Capitol logo, whereas there is a weeny Parlophone logo on the inlay. Could also be classed as EMI.
|
Klepsie 23rd Oct 2013 | | CD SingleThe Offspring - The Kids Aren't Alright | The fact that a song this catchy was only third in line (after "Pretty Fly" and "Get a Job", the two live tracks here) to be a single from the Americana album is a pointer to that album's quality. #11 UK charts.
Note the "Parental Advisory" warning carefully placed over the gun and bloodstain at bottom left of the cover! Wikipedia has an uncensored image of it (presumably the US issue).
|
Klepsie 23rd Oct 2013 | | CD SingleSupergrass - Pumping On Your Stereo (Single Version) | Scans added. Reached #11, UK chart.
|
Klepsie 23rd Oct 2013 | | CD SingleSandi Thom - What If I'm Right (Radio Mix) | It was always going to be a tough one for Thom to follow up her leftfield smash debut "I Wish I Was A Punk Rocker"; unsurprisingly this didn't emulate its success, but still made it to the charts at #22.
Have entered the label as RCA, though I note the entry for "Punk Rocker" has it as the parent group, Sony BMG. Also has Viking Legacy credit and a weird cat monogram -- or is that last the Viking Legacy logo?
|
Klepsie 23rd Oct 2013 | | CD SingleNed's Atomic Dustbin - All I Ask Of Myself Is That I Hold Together (Edit) | First single from Bloodbrainvolume, #33 UK charts; sadly the beginning of the end for the Neds.
|
Klepsie 23rd Oct 2013 | | CD SingleWeezer - Buddy Holly (LP Version) | Apparently there were two versions of the cover photo for this release, of which this is the second (the first, similar, one having to be withdrawn as one of the people in it threatened a lawsuit); Weezerpedia says the first cover is only found on promos and the Australian stock issue.
|
Klepsie 22nd Oct 2013 | | CD SingleHelen Love - Does Your Heart Go Boom | See also entry for vinyl edition which has details of cassette edition too.
|
Klepsie 22nd Oct 2013 | | CD SingleTV Smith - Xmas Bloody Xmas | Tracks 2 and 3 were originally by Smith's former band the Adverts, of course, while track 4 was originally written by him for the Doctors of Madness and subsequently recorded by his later band, TV Smith's Cheap. As always, TV live is not to be missed.
|
Klepsie 12th Dec 2012 | | CD SingleSiouxsie And The Banshees - O Baby | First single from their final studio album "The Rapture". #34 UK.
|
Klepsie 12th Dec 2012 | | CD SingleBen Harper - Ground On Down (Radio Edit) | A side from Harper's second album "Fight For Your Mind".
|
Klepsie 12th Dec 2012 | | CD SingleRadiohead - Paranoid Android | There was also a CD2 available (see bottom left of back cover).
|
Klepsie 12th Dec 2012 | | CD SingleGorky's Zygotic Mynci - Merched Yn Neud Gwallt Eu Gilydd | This one just has "May" as the date, with no year, at the moment...
|
Klepsie 12th Dec 2012 | | CD SingleTV Smith - Lion And The Lamb | From the "March of the Giants" album, Smith's first after reinventing himself as a solo guitar-slinger in the 1990s (previously of course in the Adverts and other bands). This copy is "promo only"; I don't know if this was ever on general sale.

Klepsie 27th Jan 2014 | | 12" SingleBarclay James Harvest - Sip Of Wine | Transferred here from its original home on 45cat, with thanks to CliffS for the original upload.
|
Klepsie 26th Jan 2014 | | 12" SingleThe Pinkees - Danger Games | Transferred here from its original home on 45cat, with thanks to john bramley for the original upload.
|
Klepsie 22nd Oct 2013 | | 12" SingleVarious Artists - Assembled Especially For Radio From The Kiss Albums | ...alphabetical order perhaps?
|
Klepsie 10th Oct 2013 | | 12" SingleBilly Joel - We Didn't Start The Fire | Had another go with 4 scans; I think this is as good as I'm going to get without a bigger scanner.
|
Klepsie 5th Oct 2013 | | 12" SingleBilly Joel - We Didn't Start The Fire | First go at using Microsoft ICE to stitch scans together of the sleeve and as you can see, the results aren't wholly satisfactory. Sorry. Anyone have tips on how to do it so the two halves line up squarely?
