Neil Forbes 23rd Sep 2015		Cinema The Fastest Guitar Alive (1967)	@Neil86, actually "There Won't Be Many Coming Home" could've referred to ANY conflict, not just Viet Nam. Though it was included in the (supposed) soundtrack album, but not the film, it might've referred to the Civil War, for purposes of context in the movie.
Neil Forbes 23rd Sep 2015		TV Don't Blame The Koalas (2002 - 2003)	That's good, Zab!, I mean really, just how much can a koala bear(yes, I know they're not bears, as an Aussie, I'm well aware of that fact, but it shouldn't ruin a good punch-line).
Neil Forbes 23rd Sep 2015		Vinyl Album Frank Ifield - The Best Of Frank Ifield	@Jasper, thanks for that info. this means EMI Australia held off in issuing this until a year after the British release, but, as can be seen on the Axis labels(above) the publishing year shows 1974, three years later again than the first Australian issue. Perhaps the 1974 refers to when EMI reissued the album as part of its "Drum" series. There wasn't an actual "Drum" label as such, merely the drum symbol appearing on re-issues across all EMI labels, Columbia, HMV, Parlophone, Stateside, Capitol etc., but curiously, not Tamla/Motown(or at least I don't think Tamla/Motown was included in the "drum" roll).
Neil Forbes 23rd Sep 2015		Vinyl Album Frank Ifield - The Best Of Frank Ifield	@RC, the Axis trademark is definitely early-1980's, I think they changed it again when they started issuing CDs under the Axis brand in the mid-1980s, about 1984 or so. As for Summit, yes, they would, on occasion put the trademark of the original recording company in the box alongside the Summit trademark. Then on other occasions only the Summit tm would appear and the original copyright owner would be acknowledged on the rear sleeve. As for the positioning of the tm, it would turn up on any corner of the sleeve, depending on the artwork and the best place for the tm, top-right, top-left, bottom,-right, bottom-left... it varies!
Neil Forbes 23rd Sep 2015		Vinyl Album Frank Ifield - The Best Of Frank Ifield	Tsch...tsch... tsch... tsch... tsch... What's that, Skip? Why would Record Collector want an album about me?, you say?, Beats me!
Neil Forbes 23rd Sep 2015		Vinyl Album Frank Ifield - The Best Of Frank Ifield	Interesting they've retained the EMI/Columbia trademark in the top-left corner while adding the early-1980s Axis trademark in the top-right corner. I'd have thought that EMI Australia would've put the Axis tm over the top of the Columbia tm when reissuing this. Just noted the publishing date on the label, 1974! The original Columbia issue(SOEX-9723) would've most certainly predated that, even though there was no publishing year shown on the label of the Columbia issue(I have it in front of me as I type this).
Neil Forbes 22nd Sep 2015		Vinyl Album Frank Ifield - The Best Of Frank Ifield	I'm logging out now! Catch you all on the "flip-side"!
Neil Forbes 22nd Sep 2015		Cinema The Fastest Guitar Alive (1967)	@Jasper, I do recall seeing an LP issued in Australia on the London label(for contractural reasons) of the movie soundtrack, but I only saw it once many years ago. I wouldn't have thought it would be re-issued on CD though. It's quite a surprise that you've found and uploaded it.
Neil Forbes 22nd Sep 2015		Vinyl Album Frank Ifield - The Best Of Frank Ifield	Aha! I found it! The Best Of Frank Ifield - EMI/Columbia SOEX-9723(Series 275) and, for RC, the label colour is dark green. The matrix number will put this issue about the same time or just after the Brit issue because the matrix is "SRS-5027 A or B". So, after a struggle, I found the "little beggar!"
Neil Forbes 22nd Sep 2015		Cinema Heebie Jeebies	This is what "An American Haunting" might give you.... the "heebie-jeebies"! ha-ha.
Neil Forbes 22nd Sep 2015		Cinema An American Haunting (2005)	Sorry, can't here ya! Spook louder! ha-ha!
Neil Forbes 22nd Sep 2015		Cinema The Fastest Guitar Alive (1967)	Ah, RC, the title's actually "Cry Softly Lonely One" which was the A-side of the single, "Pistolero" was the B-side.
Neil Forbes 22nd Sep 2015		Cinema An American Haunting (2005)	No comments on this one? Hey, whatsa-matter? You afraid of the ghosts? No worries, they're all shy! They don't want to come out and make a "spectre-cle" of themselves! ha-ha.
Neil Forbes 22nd Sep 2015		Cinema The Fastest Guitar Alive (1967)	As I said, it was his ONLY movie appearance. The movie was a "contrived" piece, in order to fit Orbison in, much like Elvis Presley's films, all contrived and built around Presley with songs that Presley himself said he hated doing most of them. But in this film, Roy Orbison himself composed all the songs(some with partner, Bill Dees). Another song from this film is "There Won't Be Many Coming Home", an all-time Orbison classic!
Neil Forbes 22nd Sep 2015		Cinema American Graffiti (1973)	Big Chill soundtrack? I was a bit disappointed in that album... left me cold!(get it?...Chill! Ha-ha)
Neil Forbes 22nd Sep 2015		Cinema American Graffiti (1973)	@RC, I wasn't aware of that one! Even so, you buy the record for the music, not imbecilic rantings!
Neil Forbes 22nd Sep 2015		Cinema The Fastest Guitar Alive (1967)	In that clip I think I also spotted Ernest Borgnine. The song was on the B-side of "Cry Softly, Lonely One". The movie was Orbison's ONLY opportunity to act, a movie career was the reason why he switched from Monument to M-G-M in the first place.
Neil Forbes 22nd Sep 2015		Cinema American Graffiti (1973)	@Gemsfan, He(Wolfman) might've belonged in the movie but DEFINITELY NOT on the soundtrack album! His stupid carry-on ruined the tracks over which he was superimposed.
Neil Forbes 22nd Sep 2015		Vinyl Album Frank Ifield - The Best Of Frank Ifield	@RC, that's the Axis reissue but I have(somewhere in my pile) a Columbia SOEX issue(Pre-Drum series, too), Ach, bu' I jus' cannae put me hands on it, laddie!
Neil Forbes 22nd Sep 2015		Vinyl Album Various Artists - Constellation	......And I just saw my own copy of "Popcorn" AXIS-6060, which puts "Constellation just 5 issues past Popcorn in the AXIS-6000 series.
Neil Forbes 22nd Sep 2015		Vinyl Album Frank Ifield - The Best Of Frank Ifield	I know this to have been issued here on the Columbia label but my copy has "done a bunk" and gone AWOL on me. Thus I'm unable to give the local number for it.
Neil Forbes 22nd Sep 2015		Vinyl Album Ray Charles - Heart To Heart	Much of Ray Charles' ABC-Paramount(1960 to about 1964) and ABC-Tangerine(1964 to about 1970) appeared here through EMI/Stateside, but quite a bit of that Paramount stuff was also issued by Festival who had the trademark rights to ABC-Paramount(a similar situation to Roy Orbison appearing on London[EMI] and Monument[Festival], can be confusing for a record buyer).
Neil Forbes 22nd Sep 2015		Vinyl Album Various Artists - Constellation	How can the Australian issue of this album, "Constellation" have the same catalogue number as Electric Coconut's "Popcorn" - AXIS-6065?
Neil Forbes 22nd Sep 2015		Vinyl Album Ray Charles - Heart To Heart	I have the LP of that album on an original first-issue US ABC-Paramount LP. A few of the cuts from that album were featured in this set.
Neil Forbes 22nd Sep 2015		Vinyl Album Ray Charles - Heart To Heart	Another example, ELO Greatest Hits carries the Jet label but a K-Tel number and the K-Tel trademark "stamped" on the label.
Neil Forbes 22nd Sep 2015		Vinyl Album Various Artists - Constellation	The Axis number would help with determining the year of Australian issue, to some degree, but the British release might be earlier than this, it could possibly even go as far back as 1970 or earlier. That EMI Australia issued it here in 1972 on Axis is no yardstick for determining the British issue year.
Neil Forbes 22nd Sep 2015		Vinyl Album Ray Charles - Heart To Heart	@RC, sorry mate, but the label shows it to be London(the dominant trademark) with Endeavour(the client) smaller, and to the right, above the catalogue number(which, I'll grant, is an Endeavour series number), and CrossOver, the content copyright holder and originator of the compilation, its trademark to the left of the label. Technically, this LP should be shown as London/Endeavour but, when adding anew album, there's no provision for showing such a pairing.
Neil Forbes 22nd Sep 2015		Vinyl Album Ray Charles - Heart To Heart	I bought this LP at Rices(can't remember when, likely two or more years back) for the princely sum of $1. I bought it because of track A6, which I had on an American-issue 45 but wanted a stereo mix, which this album provided. I reckon Charles was displaying a wicked sense of humour by recording A3.
Neil Forbes 22nd Sep 2015		Vinyl Album Various Artists - Constellation	It's very unusual for a British record not to have a release year printed on the label or sleeve, they normally print it on both label and rear sleeve. If you look closely at the labels, you'll see each track has a publishing year.
Neil Forbes 21st Sep 2015		78 RPM Ernie Sigley - It Happened Again / Love Is A Golden Ring	The B-side was the actual hit, Sigley rerecorded it in 1974 for a Festival LP called "....And Here's Ernie". At a guess, this record might date from around 1956 or 1957. Sigley was in his teens when he recorded this.
