Neil Forbes 16th Feb 2015		Vinyl Album Various Artists - Looney Tunes And Merrie Melodies	Er... more like E5, I reckon - Spaced OUT!!!(ha-ha).
Neil Forbes 16th Feb 2015		Vinyl Album Neil Diamond - Gold Diamond	Yeah, it's at A4 on the Solitary Man album.
Neil Forbes 16th Feb 2015		Vinyl Album Neil Diamond - Solitary Man	It had only occurred to me just before I sent you a PM, RC(initially speaking, ha-ha) re: your remark - "HMV Diamond love it" that you tied in the ad for the styli(plural of stylus) with the artist on the cover.... clever!
Neil Forbes 16th Feb 2015		Vinyl Album Neil Diamond - Solitary Man	That ad started appearing on all the EMI SCA-series releases(at my guess) across all labels but by the 1980s the series was replaced with the PLAY-1000 series(again across all EMI labels).
Neil Forbes 16th Feb 2015		Vinyl Album Neil Diamond - Gold Diamond	Geez, RC, we can't have Shilo on ALL the albums!(You really must hate that song with a passion - ha-ha!)
Neil Forbes 16th Feb 2015		Vinyl Album Various Artists - Looney Tunes And Merrie Melodies	What? Are you serious? Calling Black Sabbath's Paranoid(Tr.3, Side A) a "Looney Tune" or Merrie Melody"? Whatever you've been puffing on, you'd better leave it alone, mate! It's doin' your head in!
Neil Forbes 16th Feb 2015		Vinyl Album Neil Diamond - Solitary Man	It's surprising just how much of Neil Diamond's backlists from his Bang, MCA(Uni) and CBS days are yet to surface on CD or(in some markets outside Australia) LP.
Neil Forbes 16th Feb 2015		Vinyl Album Neil Diamond - Gold Diamond	I thought Decca only had the licence for the Bang label in England in the mid-1960s then passed it to CBS there. Which makes it a surprise to see this early-1970s London issue of Neil Diamond's early work, which appeared on EMI/Stateside here in Australia.
Neil Forbes 16th Feb 2015		Vinyl Album Neil Diamond - Solitary Man	Longfellow Serenade is from his earlier days at CBS. The one I've yet to see anywhere on LP or CD is "The Time Is Now"which was the B-side to "Kentucky Woman" on the original single(mistakenly earlier credited it as on the back of "Thank The Lord..." Whoops!). Now there's a real RARITY!
Neil Forbes 16th Feb 2015		Vinyl Album Neil Diamond - Solitary Man	Where did you find the track, RC?
Neil Forbes 16th Feb 2015		Vinyl Album Various Artists - Mellow Seventies	Harold Melvin billed without the Blue Notes? Either an oversight on the album or - a dreaded "re-recording", and if the latter, the question must be asked, how many more of the tracks are thus "re-recordings"? That's why I hold these labels in grave suspicion. They can't be trusted to issue authentic versions.
Neil Forbes 16th Feb 2015		Vinyl Album Neil Diamond - Solitary Man	The version of Shilo that Diamond did for MCA is a completely new(for that time and for that label) recording. They didn't remix the Bang version at all. They didn't use it, period!
Neil Forbes 16th Feb 2015		Vinyl Album Neil Diamond - Solitary Man	If you are on the look-out for Shilo on CD, the compilation to look for is "Neil Diamond - Classics - The Early Years" on CBS (Cat. #CDCBS-25531), issued in 1983 before Sony subsumed the CBS brand and replaced it with "Columbia", an act I resented as I always associated the Columbia name with EMI.
Neil Forbes 16th Feb 2015		Vinyl Album Neil Diamond - Solitary Man	I'm thinking the version of Shilo used here is the earlier album version. The 7" single version is on 20 Explosive Hits(Columbia[EMI] TVS-3).
Neil Forbes 16th Feb 2015		78 RPM Roger Roger - Pleasure Drive / New Horizons	The only time I've ever come across 78rpm vinyl discs was when I was given a Lumar (brand) toy gramophone for Xmas (when I was 10 years old, or so), and the records that came with it carried the "kidditune" label, 5"-diameter discs that barely got to 2 minutes playing time. (now I AM feeling positively ancient!)
Neil Forbes 16th Feb 2015		Vinyl Album Electric Light Orchestra - Discovery	RC, don't give up your day job just yet, ay? You're not quite ready to be a stand-up comic(I fear they'll tell you to "sit down"!)
Neil Forbes 16th Feb 2015		Vinyl Album Neil Diamond - Solitary Man	As it happens, I've got to look for a new copy as this one has a nasty crack in it(caused by accident, of course). Lucky for me I've got all the tracks saved as MP3 files.
Neil Forbes 16th Feb 2015		Vinyl Album Neil Diamond - Solitary Man	RC, you've scared the life out of me by telling me the Shilo LP is 45 years old(I'm feeling positively ancient now! ha-ha) Just a sec.... This LP will be 40 years old this year!(43 years old for the American issue), yoiks!
Neil Forbes 16th Feb 2015		Vinyl Album Perrey And Kingsley - Spotlight On The Moog (Kaleidoscopic Vibrations)	I have the two Electric Coconut Axis-issue LPs that I'll be putting on this site soon. In Britain they would've been on MFP.(unless someone beats me to it, that is!).
Neil Forbes 16th Feb 2015		Vinyl Album Electric Light Orchestra - Discovery	RC, what kind of "discovery" did you make while listening in the dark? And would your response have been "ELO, ELO, ELO, what 'ave we 'ere?"
Neil Forbes 16th Feb 2015		Vinyl Album Neil Diamond - Solitary Man	My most ambitious upload yet! Neil Diamond in a Best-Of LP with gatefold sleeve! This album was issued in 1975 here in Australia though Bang in the USA had issued the same compilation in 1972(though I couldn't say if the cover was the same). Just seems that Neil Diamond's Bang records backlist gets hashed, rehashed, re-rehashed and re-re-rehashed every couple of years! And usually the same tracks keep turning up! I'm yet to see a compilation that carries the original B-side to Thank The Lord..., that track being The Time Is Now. I think I'd faint from shock if I saw that one turn up anywhere! It's truly one of his rarest! Must correct myself, the A-side was, in fact, Kentucky Woman Ouch!
Neil Forbes 16th Feb 2015		Vinyl Album Perrey And Kingsley - Spotlight On The Moog (Kaleidoscopic Vibrations)	This might be one you've gotta be "in the moog" for(ha-ha)
Neil Forbes 15th Feb 2015		Vinyl Album Ebonites Steel Orchestra - Pan-O-Rama	This one again is NOT American, It originated from the West Indies. [Mod Edit - Noted and changed to Trinidad.]
Neil Forbes 15th Feb 2015		Vinyl Album Electric Light Orchestra - Discovery	Well, I never had this on cassette(unless I dubbed it onto tape myself) but initially I had it on LP, then CD, and have since acquired a couple more LP copies, one of which only had the inner sleeve. Should state for the "record" that mine was an Australian LP issue - no merchandising propaganda flyer!
Neil Forbes 15th Feb 2015		Vinyl Album Shell Invaders Steel Orchestra - 1962 Carnival Calypso Hits	This is NOT an American issue! The country of origin is the West Indies(Caribean Islands).[Mod Edit - Noted changed to Trinidad.]
Neil Forbes 15th Feb 2015		CD Album Various Artists - Calling All Rock 'n' Roll Collectors Volume 3	Not one single name do I recognise in the entire list, nor do I recognise the song titles. Were any of them even minor "hits"?
Neil Forbes 15th Feb 2015		Vinyl Album Esther und Abi Ofarim - Noch einen Tanz	Hi, RC, No, That's one I missed out on!
Neil Forbes 15th Feb 2015		Vinyl Album Esther und Abi Ofarim - Noch einen Tanz	RC, you truly are a "Man Of Mystery"! What other talents are lurking in your "shadows"? Ich wußte nicht, daß kannst du deutsch, sprechen und schreiben! Ganz interessante!
Neil Forbes 15th Feb 2015		Vinyl Album Esther und Abi Ofarim - Noch einen Tanz	Two years before Cinderella Rockefeller! Hmmmm! Didn't know this pair went back that far in history!
Neil Forbes 14th Feb 2015		CD Album Various Artists - The Best Seventies Album In The World...Ever	They could be like Arnold Rimmer in "Red Dwarf" Holli-grams...ha-ha... oh smeg!
