Neil Forbes 21st Aug 2015		Vinyl Album Little Pattie - Pattie	Her earliest works(Stompy-Wompy Real-Gone Surfer Boy) were cringe-worthy rubbish but by the time these tracks came along, "Little" Pattie Amphlett, still in her mid-teens, was starting to get some worthwhile material to record. The only thing that spoils this is those doggone "fugly"(that's Effin' Ugly) publishing company "stamp" logos on the labels.
Neil Forbes 21st Aug 2015		Vinyl Album Claude Denjean - Moog! Claude Denjean And The Moog Synthesizer	Is that a speaker in each corner of the room, perhaps?
Neil Forbes 21st Aug 2015		TV Swiss Family Robinson [USA] (1975 - 1976)	I distinctly remember the Martin Milner version(Milner formerly of "CHiPS) and Cameron Mitchell in the show as well(formerly of "High Chapporal" - guessing at spelling). And I remember the show airing on NBN in Newcastle, a year or so after its US run.
Neil Forbes 21st Aug 2015		Vinyl Album Various Artists - The Greatest Rock And Pop Classics	RC, did you notice that it was a 2LP set with only 3 or 4 tracks per side? They obviously used the full-length versions of songs that equally obviously ran for 6 or more minutes
Neil Forbes 21st Aug 2015		Vinyl Album Oliver - Good Morning Starshine	That's what Summit did sometimes. They'd get hold of old stampers after the original LP release had been deleted from the catalogues of the label(company) which first issued the album, put their own label to them and re-issue under a new title. Sometimes Summit would get an A-side stamper for one album, and a B-side stamper from another LP by the same artist or group, stick 'em together and... hey presto, a whole new(?) album emerges!
Neil Forbes 21st Aug 2015		Vinyl Album Various Artists - The Greatest Rock And Pop Classics	It's more likely that Common Wealth is the Dutch licensee for K-Tel rather than owning the American-based, and American-owned company that is K-Tel.
Neil Forbes 21st Aug 2015		Vinyl Album Oliver - Good Morning Starshine	The Australian licence for the Crewe label was held by Festival Records. The title cut was, however, issued as a single on the CBS label by Australian Record Company(as they still were in 1969).
Neil Forbes 21st Aug 2015		Vinyl Album Roy Orbison - The Exciting Roy Orbison	A3, "*It's Too Late*" was covered by Aussie legend, Johnny O'Keefe.
Neil Forbes 21st Aug 2015		TV Swiss Family Robinson [USA] (1975 - 1976)	Interestingly enough, this production made it onto Australian TV station schedules where the other version was not seen here at all(to my best knowledge). Had to adjust my comments after checking the origin of the series. Initially I took this to be the Canadian version. Oops!
Neil Forbes 15th Aug 2015		Vinyl Album The Beatles - A Hard Day's Night	I'm logging off now, 'bye all!
Neil Forbes 15th Aug 2015		Vinyl Album The Beatles - A Hard Day's Night	I learned German in evening classes from 1987 to 1992. Still remember quite a bit of it!
Neil Forbes 15th Aug 2015		Cinema Police Academy (1984)	OOOOO-Aaaaah! You mean Jeanie Li-i-i-ttle!
Neil Forbes 15th Aug 2015		Vinyl Album The Beatles - A Hard Day's Night	Vielen Dank dafuer, RC! (Couldn't use the umlaut so had to drop in 'e' after 'u').
Neil Forbes 15th Aug 2015		78 RPM Will Derby - Blindgeschoten / Visschersbede	I've inserted what I believe to be composer credits, with a nod to uploader, RobertG.
Neil Forbes 15th Aug 2015		Cinema Police Academy (1984)	Aww rats! I didn't have a stereo VCR back then... And my Thorn Model 48T1 VHF/UHF TV was monaural too! Double bummer!
Neil Forbes 15th Aug 2015		Vinyl Album The Beatles - A Hard Day's Night	Okay RC, I'll give you a closer translation: "Es war doch schwere Nacht dieses Tags, und arbeitet Ich sowie ein Hund!" For those who don't speak Deutsch, the English translation is: "It's been a Hard Day's Night and I've been working like a dog!" Hey Fixbutte, how close was I in that translation?
Neil Forbes 15th Aug 2015		TV Red Dwarf (1988 - Now)	A "talking toaster" would have a "crusty" personality! No?
Neil Forbes 15th Aug 2015		Vinyl Album The Beatles - A Hard Day's Night	Ah, hier haben wir die echte Sache! Or, in English.... Ah, here we have The Real Thing(RC, please refrain from singing Ooo-mow-mow-mow! ha-ha). I really liked the "Recording First Published..." bit on the British records, really nice touch. The encircled 'P' doesn't really "click" with me.
Neil Forbes 15th Aug 2015		Vinyl Album The Beatles - A Hard Day's Night	Add to what RC said, there's also the fact that this is a United Artists issue rather than a Capitol issue, thus puts it outside the "proper" Beatles US catalogue.
Neil Forbes 14th Aug 2015		Vinyl Album The Beatles - A Hard Day's Night	Deltics, you're correct! The label design here first appeared around 1971 in the US and Canada(later in other markets) so this is definitely a re-issue.
Neil Forbes 14th Aug 2015		Vinyl Album The Beatles - A Hard Day's Night	In the "Linked Releases", the Canadian label shown, is definitely *NOT* of 1964 vintage. It's clearly an early-1970s re-issue. A Canadian first-issue would have a label design similar to that shown above, as uploaded by nicoldo64.
Neil Forbes 14th Aug 2015		TV Red Dwarf (1988 - Now)	@23skidoo, I wish they'd bring back the "Hollie"(Holly) character, either Hattie or Norman in the role, between them they helped "make" the show! The "Hollie(or Holly, for alternate spelling) character just disappeared in latter series. shame, that!
Neil Forbes 14th Aug 2015		DVD Titanic - Paramount	A comment by RC just vanished... where did it go? As for Greg's78s, we're not making fun of people drowning, persay, we're just sending up the movie title. Far be it from me or anyone to poke fun at tragedy.
Neil Forbes 14th Aug 2015		DVD Titanic - Paramount	RC, re my last comment over on Vinyl Albums(Hank Wilson's Back), it applies here too! Your time/humour is most decidedly WARPED!(ha-ha)
Neil Forbes 14th Aug 2015		DVD Cat People [1942] - Warner Home Video	Ah, just don't try to put saddles on these felines, ay, Magic Marmalade(ha-ha).
Neil Forbes 14th Aug 2015		DVD Titanic - Paramount	This one's enough to give you a "sinking" feeling!(ha-ha)
Neil Forbes 14th Aug 2015		TV Red Dwarf (1988 - Now)	@23skidoo, it's fairly safe to say they'll get the main four back(Chris Barrie[Rimmer], Craig Charles[Lister], Danny John-Jules[Cat] and Robert Llewellyn[Kryten]) but Hattie Haybridge and Norman Lovett seemed to go AWOL toward the end of the last regular series(that is, before the 3-episode Back To Earth and other "specials" were made)., So I don't expect to see Haybridge or Lovett as "Holly" in the new versions.
Neil Forbes 14th Aug 2015		TV The Time Tunnel (1966 - 1967)	@23skidoo, yeah, he only had a couple of his records do moderately well here in Australia, they were by no stretch of the imagination, "chart-toppers", either. Most Aussies wouldn't even remember him unless they vaguely do so from this TV show, and I doubt many would even remember the show either.
Neil Forbes 14th Aug 2015		TV The Time Tunnel (1966 - 1967)	RC's comment.... *"Let's do the time warp agaaaaiiin"*! Trust you to come up with that one, RC!(ha-ha).
Neil Forbes 14th Aug 2015		TV The Time Tunnel (1966 - 1967)	Thanks for the info, 23skidoo, but, as you can see, I was just attempting some humour(attempting..... ?).
