Neil Forbes 14th Aug 2015		TV Red Dwarf (1988 - Now)	How much longer before we get to see the new series? I can't smeggin' wait!
Neil Forbes 12th Aug 2015		78 RPM Gustav Fonandern - Karl-Alfred Och Eleonor / Turalleri-Turallera (Tra-La-La)	The trademark, RC, there's the connection. The Victor Talking Machine Company of the USA used the Dog & Gramophone("Nipper" HMV) trademark under licence from The Gramophone Company of England, a full nine years before The Gramophone Company merged with Columbia Graphophone Company to form what we now know as EMI. I just wish The Gramophone Company had revoked the licence when RCA bought the plant at Camden, NJ in 1929. That way, when EMI bought Capitol in 1955, they'd have had a ready-made trademark to market The Beatles, Herman's Hermits, The Animals, Lulu, Johnny Farnham, Axiom, Little River Band and other British and Australian artists & groups into America and Canada.
Neil Forbes 12th Aug 2015		Cinema Police Academy (1984)	Ah yes! The first Police Academy movie! This ranks alongside "Flying High"("Airplane" in US and elsewhere) as one of the all-time funniest movies ever, helped along, no doubt, by Michael Winslow's vocal gymnastics(sound effects). Police Academy 2 was as good but the third through seventh in the franchise could not live up to the same standards as the first two.
Neil Forbes 12th Aug 2015		TV The Time Tunnel (1966 - 1967)	Did James Darren join this series so he could go back through that Time Tunnel to when he was still a Pop Star?(ha-ha)
Neil Forbes 12th Aug 2015		Vinyl Album The Beatles - Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band	The label images uploaded by Roboleyton would(hazarding a guess) be from somewhere around the early 1970s as it's in 1970 that the label design(across HMV, Columbia, Parlophone and Stateside labels) first appeared as a unifying measure by EMI.
Neil Forbes 12th Aug 2015		Vinyl Album The Pink Floyd - Atom Heart Mother	RC... And for your PUNishment, you'll have to cop some more(if and when I come up with any)... Is that you I heard, running screaming, away from your computer?
Neil Forbes 12th Aug 2015		Vinyl Album Various Artists - Golden Gassers	Ah, you've read the cover notes, RC!
Neil Forbes 12th Aug 2015		Vinyl Album The Pink Floyd - Atom Heart Mother	In reply to RC, "Sure hope they didn't use milk in the mortar!" (ha-ha)!
Neil Forbes 12th Aug 2015		Vinyl Album Various Artists - Golden Gassers	A close-up on the back cover reveals hyped-up, gimmicky notes and not a trace of proper acknowledgement of source for the non-EMI(Capitol) material used in this compilation. To the compiler I say this: "you must write on the blackboard 25 times - I must give proper acknowledgements to the sources of the recordings AND I must write my cover notes in plain English"! Basically, I treat the compiler as a misbehaving schoolboy!
Neil Forbes 12th Aug 2015		Vinyl Album The Pink Floyd - Atom Heart Mother	Mooo-oooo-oooo!
Neil Forbes 11th Aug 2015		78 RPM Gustav Fonandern - Karl-Alfred Och Eleonor / Turalleri-Turallera (Tra-La-La)	....And this one 6 years before that dire, tragic day in 1929 when that RCA mob came sniffin' around the Victor plant.
Neil Forbes 11th Aug 2015		78 RPM Frank Luther - Isn't It Funny / Sing Ho! For The Life Of A Bear	This record made three years after RCA bought out Victor Talking Machine co.
Neil Forbes 11th Aug 2015		Vinyl Album Frank Sinatra - The Sinatra Touch	Enough to build a mansion or two, RC(ha-ha).
Neil Forbes 11th Aug 2015		Vinyl Album Creedence Clearwater Revival - Mardi Gras	Click to close-up on the cover, then look just to the left of the first 'v' of revival, there's... Oh my Gort!(ha-ha)
Neil Forbes 11th Aug 2015		Cinema Airplane! (Flying High) (1980)	Doo-doo-bidooby!(Meh-ne-meh-ne!)
Neil Forbes 11th Aug 2015		TV Cade's County (1971 - 1972)	I remember this show reasonably well. The "town square" is recycled from Peyton Place.
Neil Forbes 11th Aug 2015		Cinema Krakatoa: East Of Java (1968)	Monolith, I was expecting you to say: ".... No, and don't call me Shirley"(ha ha) but you didn't "bite". First time I came across John Leyton was at Mt. Wilga Rehabilitation Centre in Hornsby(an outer northern suburb of Sydney, NSW) in 1972. I was resident there for a couple of months and another resident had a British HMV single of him doing "Beautiful Dreamer", an up-tempo version. The singe was of about 1963 vintage. The second time I came across John Leyton I picked up a copy of "Cupboard Love" a few years ago(sadly the record was accidentally recently damaged). I think I managed to get the track onto a CD before it was damaged and I have it(the CD) somewhere about.
Neil Forbes 11th Aug 2015		Cinema Airplane! (Flying High) (1980)	We knew this as it was marketed here under the title "Flying High" And the follow-up as "Flying High II" (II - roman numeral for 2). Both movies absolute crack-ups!
Neil Forbes 11th Aug 2015		Vinyl Album Frank Sinatra - The Sinatra Touch	This is a poorly-laid-out issue. Look at all that vacant real-estate above the spindle hole. Surely that's where the album title should've been.
Neil Forbes 10th Aug 2015		Vinyl Album Creedence Clearwater Revival - Mardi Gras	In answer to itcameoutofthesky's question, "If this is the original cover, where is "Gort" ???" He came over all shy and didn't want to appear on the cover!(ha-ha)
Neil Forbes 10th Aug 2015		TV In Search Of... (1977 - 2018)	Ouch, that's stretching it a bit TOO far!
Neil Forbes 10th Aug 2015		TV In Search Of... (1977 - 2018)	Almost to breaking point, RC.
Neil Forbes 10th Aug 2015		Cinema Krakatoa: East Of Java (1968)	"....Never heard of him?" Surely you're joking, Monolith!
Neil Forbes 10th Aug 2015		Cinema Carry On Cruising (1962)	Aside from Vincent Ball, another notable Aussie in this film is Ed Devereaux, later to find fame as Ranger Matt Hammond in "The Adventures Of Skippy, The Bush Kangaroo"..
Neil Forbes 10th Aug 2015		Cinema Krakatoa: East Of Java (1968)	Aah, didn't answer my question re: John Leyton.
Neil Forbes 10th Aug 2015		Cinema Dracula	Dracula was spotted lurking around a blood bank... reason: he was waiting for them to open so he could make a withdrawal!(ha-ha)
Neil Forbes 10th Aug 2015		Cinema Krakatoa: East Of Java (1968)	Yeah. Those who named the movie were geographically challenged! Just noted John Leyton in the cast list, is it the very same John Leyton who recorded for Top Rank, then HMV in the early 1960s?
Neil Forbes 10th Aug 2015		TV In Search Of... (1977 - 2018)	Funny they did that successfully(applied 16:9 AR) with "I DREAM OF JEANNIE" (Larry Hagman & Barbara Stevens) but they did it in such a way that neither Hagman, Stevens or any of the other "stars" of the show looked like they went on a feeding frenzy! Still, why bother? The show dates from the 1960s and was shot in 4:3(otherwise referred to as 'Academy' aspect ratio) and that's how it should've stayed.
Neil Forbes 9th Aug 2015		TV Duck Dodgers (2003 - 2005)	Hmmmm... I tawt I taw a puddytat....!
Neil Forbes 9th Aug 2015		TV Duck Dodgers (2003 - 2005)	Wouldn't be quite the same without Mel Blanc providing the character voices, but he passed away before this series was made(or so I believe). Guess that's why Porky really showed himself as just a *ham* and Daffy just *"quacked"* up over it all.
