make1968 13th Dec 2019 |  | CD AlbumGene Vincent - Volume 1 (Bluejean Bop / Gene And The Blue Caps) | I bought mine (for £3) from UK...
|
make1968 10th Dec 2019 |  | CD AlbumGene Vincent - Volume 1 (Bluejean Bop / Gene And The Blue Caps) | The catalogue number (CD 764/811) refers to the original Capitol LP's (T-764 and T-811). I wonder if that "barcode" makes any sense, either...
|
make1968 10th Dec 2019 |  | Cassette AlbumGene Vincent - The Story Of... | Nice to see a tape sleeve photo different from any LP covers. A reason for purchase...
|
make1968 13th Nov 2019 |  | Live MusicThe Housewreckers @ Lepakko | I know we (as Housewreckers) played here on this date, but I am sure there were other bands on the stage as well. Can anyone remember? Was this the one with The Meteors, when we were supposed to share the back stage with them? (And the sharing didn't work out when they aggressively pushed us out... well, as they were supposed to play with our drum set, we made sure it would not work out that easy either...)

make1968 9th Nov 2019 |  | Vinyl AlbumStray Cats - 40 | Mascot Label Group just mailed me telling that this will be repressed (limited 2000 copies) on transparent red vinyl, too. Out on January 31st, 2020.
|
make1968 7th Nov 2019 |  | Live MusicRockabilly Xmas @ Paasitorni | This is the same venue that previously was known as Työväentalo, ever since 1908. In the golden era many big names - such as Gene Vincent (1964) - performed there. "Työväentalo" was re-named "Paasitorni" in 1987 and the whole place was renovated by 2007.

make1968 6th Nov 2019 |  | CD AlbumGene Vincent - Be-Bop-A-Lula | Sleeve available as a jewel case and as a cardboard version.
|
make1968 5th Nov 2019 |  | Vinyl AlbumGene Vincent - Greatest Vol. II | The now added alternative back cover claims this is stereo, but the record says mono (as it is, too).
|
make1968 30th Sep 2019 |  | 78 RPMThe Cleftones - Little Girl Of Mine / You're Driving Me Mad | Added the variant labels. My copy has them fairly red as in the images, not orange (to my opinion).
|
make1968 30th Sep 2019 |  | Live MusicThe Housewreckers @ Torvi | It was rainy wether in the middle of the week. Dark and chilly evening. I remember this being the least crowded gig we ever played - only 14 people present (which was quite easy to count from the stage...)!
|
make1968 7th Sep 2019 |  | Vinyl AlbumStray Cats - 40 | I wrote in the notes "silver marble vinyl". But, yes, it is "silver vinyl" - without any marbles!
|
make1968 6th Sep 2019 |  | 78 RPMHank Williams With His Drifting Cowboys - They'll Never Take Her Love From Me / Why Should We Try Anymore | Yes, my copy is almost unplayed, I think.

|
make1968 19th Aug 2019 |  | Vinyl AlbumThe Wind In The Willows - The Wind In The Willows | Nice disc with carefully handwritten labels as usual!
Now - Shouldn't the test pressings / promotional copies be merged with the stock release, when there is no difference in the track listing?
mod edit: merged

make1968 31st Jul 2019 |  | Vinyl AlbumVarious Artists - Capitol Single Release 872 | Another curiosity: all the tracks are separate. I mean, the record needs to be played track by track, picking up the needle between each title to go over the empty spaces, as they do not lead forward.
|
make1968 30th Jul 2019 |  | Vinyl AlbumVarious Artists - Capitol Single Release 872 | Interesting point on this record is the last 4 tracks which were by Gene Vincent, and they were not released as a single in the US - well they did appear, but only on the 2 very limited promo singles, sides numbered from PRO 2274 to PRO 2277. Well...
Looking at the catalogue numbers here: could it be that the PRO numbering continued without making a difference between 7" (45rpm) and 12" (33rpm) release? Or just a coincidence? Let's see if there is other evidence.
(edit: Answering to myself - yes, they seem to have the same numbering system regardless of the format.)

make1968 22nd Jul 2019 |  | Vinyl AlbumVarious Artists - Capitol Single Record Release 616 | Quite a few of these appeared for sale just recently. I bought three and uploaded them and some of the others to the database here (and you can find them by search "Manufacturing Associate Reference Pressing"). These must have been very limited pressings and as stated, made just for the reference. But possibly, possibly all the Capitol singles (at least between 1958 and 1968) could have been referenced like this (just a wild guess)!
|
make1968 7th Jul 2019 |  | 78 RPMGene Vincent And His Blue Caps - Jezebel / Rip It Up | Okay, this is for sale in eBay... never seen Rip It Up on 78! And the number of 15547 refers to the recording (just as it is in here), it is not a release number.

make1968 11th Apr 2019 |  | Live MusicMerciless Rockers @ Eikan Pub | This gig was cancelled due to the pub's mistake - they had made a double booking.
|
make1968 9th Apr 2019 |  | Vinyl AlbumBuddy Holly - The Complete Buddy Holly | The other page has a few different entries for this. I thought checking my copy would have made something clearer, but no... the record labels (rainbow) were all CDL 807-, but the sleeves either CDL (4 of them) or CDLM (2 of them) prefixed. And the booklet with CDSP 807.
