Neil Forbes 25th Sep 2015		Vinyl Album The Beatles - Broad Road	Did I just read "Okay, next topic"?, then suddenly that post vanished(Must've dreamt it!)
Neil Forbes 25th Sep 2015		Vinyl Album Buffalo Springfield - Last Time Around	I have quite a few Axis LPs in my "pile of platters" but please don't ask me to name them all, I'd be on the site continuously for a month! Oooh my aching fingers!
Neil Forbes 25th Sep 2015		Vinyl Album The Beatles - Broad Road	RC: "You can get hold of a bootleg album very easy." But why bother? There's no real quality control, and while they might look authentic(they are far from authentic), the sound quality would range from moderately good, through to woefully appalling. Nah, give these bootlegs the flick-pass!
Neil Forbes 25th Sep 2015		Vinyl Album Buffalo Springfield - Last Time Around	Yep, Axis Records - 1971 to 1992. Underwent three changes to trademark design, two changes to LP label design The third trademark change coincided with moving from vinyl to CD.
Neil Forbes 25th Sep 2015		Vinyl Album The Beatles - Broad Road	Zey vill not be able to find me...! Ov zat I am very certain!(fake German accent imitated there). But seriously, that's what bootlegs are, illegal issues, from which the originating record company receives not one cent of revenue, nor did they authorise the compilation or even provide master tapes for it. The material has been sourced illegally and issued without any acknowledgement to the source company. There was a plague of bootleg issues through the 1970s and 1980s but it has, to a large part, died down of late, but there are still those brazen enough to put something like this together, then try to pass it off as authentic, which it most certainly is NOT! That's why I said what I said thirty minutes earlier.
Neil Forbes 25th Sep 2015		Vinyl Album Masquerade - The Sound Of Masquerade	I have the single.
Neil Forbes 25th Sep 2015		Vinyl Album Buffalo Springfield - Last Time Around	It's a similar situation to what happened with the Music For Pleasure label in Australia, initially bundled up under the EMI brand, but then started issuing product, for which EMI had no connection, this the MFP label drifted away from EMI here in Australia, yet in Britain, MFP was, and remains firmly entrenched in the EMI group. The only difference is that Axis stayed in the EMI fold in Australia while MFP drifted away.(there's a song in there, mention it to Doby Grey when you get a moment... ha-ha)
Neil Forbes 25th Sep 2015		Vinyl Album Masquerade - The Sound Of Masquerade	The only familiar track here is "Guardian Angel" which turned up in Australia on the Ariola label under Festival distribution. There was a brief period when Festival had the rights to the label in the early 1980s.
Neil Forbes 25th Sep 2015		Vinyl Album Buffalo Springfield - Last Time Around	Jasper, I can give you one composer credit, Tr.B4 - For What It's Worth composed by Stephen Stills.
Neil Forbes 25th Sep 2015		Vinyl Album Buffalo Springfield - Last Time Around	EMI's brand doesn't appear anywhere on this issue, but surely EMI would still have pressed and distributed it.
Neil Forbes 25th Sep 2015		Vinyl Album The Beatles - Broad Road	This album, being a bootleg, an illegal issue, should never have seen the light of day and MOST DEFINITELY should NOT be included in ANY boxed sets!
Neil Forbes 25th Sep 2015		Vinyl Album Marty Robbins - Gunfighter Ballads And Trail Songs	@RC, tell that key to get a "shift" on.... ha-ha!
Neil Forbes 25th Sep 2015		Vinyl Album The Beatles - Broad Road	This album....? No thanks! Give me the PROPER version, *Abbey Road*!
Neil Forbes 25th Sep 2015		Vinyl Album Marty Robbins - Gunfighter Ballads And Trail Songs	No, RC, the CBS on the label was always Upper-case letters.
Neil Forbes 25th Sep 2015		Vinyl Album Marty Robbins - Gunfighter Ballads And Trail Songs	No, definitely not! Coronet was the earliest representation of CBS in the Australian market from the mid-1950s on 78rpm(red octagonal labels) until finally superseded by the CBS label we were familiar with from 1962 to 1973(tm in centre of label, adapted from British LP design), though earliest orange-label CBS product from 1962 was still using Coronet KS-prefixes until the BA-221000 series started in early 1963. LP issues on Coronet were red, initially with octagonal labels but from 1960 until the CBS label took over, were round labels. Catalogue prefixes were: Mono = KLP; Stereo = KLPS, and again, the Coronet prefixes carried over on the new label until 1963 when the BP(mono) and SBP(stereo) prefixes kicked in. For classical releases, a blue label and BR/SBR prefix was applied.
Neil Forbes 25th Sep 2015		Vinyl Album Marty Robbins - Gunfighter Ballads And Trail Songs	Mono and stereo, this LP turned up in Australia probably a year later than its US release and was issued on the Coronet label, still using the octagonal design.
Neil Forbes 25th Sep 2015		Vinyl Album Various Artists - The Best Of Country Music, Vol. 7	A9? I have Johnny Bond doing that, with "Five Minute Love Affair" on the flip-side of a London label 45.
Neil Forbes 25th Sep 2015		Vinyl Album Various Artists - The Best Of Country Music, Vol. 7	This may be another American-processed LP for the British market as generally, American product for their own market doesn't carry the same copyright notice as you'd see on British, Euro English-language, Aussie or NZ issues. As to this album, it could've worked better if spread across two discs with 6 tracks per side, then there would be no need to edit them down to fit such a congested format as this.
Neil Forbes 25th Sep 2015		TV Home And Away (1988 - Now)	@Zab, what episodes are you seeing now? and RC, the show's been running since 1988 but how much longer will it last?.... How long's a piece of string?
Neil Forbes 24th Sep 2015		Vinyl Album Paul McCartney - All The Best!	I'm logging out now! Catch you later!
Neil Forbes 24th Sep 2015		Vinyl Album Paul McCartney - All The Best!	Which comment did you correct, RC? The comments thus far made by you appear to be as they were originally posted.
Neil Forbes 24th Sep 2015		Vinyl Album Paul McCartney - All The Best!	Perhaps *"Press To Play"* wasn't considered as one of the "best" so was left out of this set and RC, your comment, "With a little luck on this album would have been a single edit as on wings greatest it be the London Town album track" doesn't stand up as the playing time listed for "With A Little Luck" is 5 minutes, 45 seconds, the full unedited version.
Neil Forbes 24th Sep 2015		Vinyl Album Paul McCartney - All The Best!	That track post-dates this compilation(I think).
Neil Forbes 24th Sep 2015		Vinyl Album Paul McCartney - All The Best!	*With A Little Luck* actually appeared on 45rpm "unedited", in other words, in full, clocking in at well over 5 minutes.
Neil Forbes 24th Sep 2015		Vinyl Album Paul McCartney - All The Best!	I have the cassette of this album and I'm thinking of doing a new transfer to CD from that tape.
Neil Forbes 24th Sep 2015		Vinyl Album Various Artists - Christine	There was, but that's not related to this "Christine" soundtrack album.
Neil Forbes 24th Sep 2015		78 RPM [no artist listed] - When Johnny Comes Marching Home / Marching Thro' Georgia (Modern Beat)	They issued only a limited number of these discs for use exclusively with the gramophones they were made for. The production ran from 1960 or 1961 up to around 1963 or 1964. I don't exactly know how many of these records were made but it couldn't have been more that 25 discs(titles) and only a limited number of each title. I don't even know who processed the discs on behalf of Lumar.
Neil Forbes 24th Sep 2015		78 RPM Ernie Sigley - It Happened Again / Love Is A Golden Ring	Yep.... with "Ding-Dong"(Denise Drysdale), his partner in "rhyme"!
Neil Forbes 24th Sep 2015		78 RPM [no artist listed] - When Johnny Comes Marching Home / Marching Thro' Georgia (Modern Beat)	An earlier Kidditunes disc did not have it, but I note this one dis have, though abbreviated, "Recording First Published" and the year of issue for this one is 1962. These records were only sold through the same toy stores that carried the players they were intended for, the "Lumar" toy gramophone. I had one as a kid, I had the battery-powered version which had two "C" cells under the turntable to power the motor. There was no electronics(no amplifier) the sound came thorough in the same way the full-size gramophones would play the disc - acoustically!
Neil Forbes 24th Sep 2015		Vinyl Album Various Artists - Christine	Yeah, Phil, but you'd think that Motown would at least try to get a Marvin Gaye, Diana Ross & Supremes or Stevie Wonder track into the mix to justify their issuing this album, surely that wouldn't be too much to ask.
