Neil Forbes 19th Dec 2014		Vinyl Album Various Artists - Pebbles Vol. 8	I generally chase composer credits for when I make up a CD from a given vinyl LP. Some K-Tel/Majestic releases are devoid of such info(some of those issued around 1969/70, for example) and I have to go digging for that info to put in the booklets for the discs. That's the reason why I suggested the use of 45cat.com for that purpose.
Neil Forbes 18th Dec 2014		Vinyl Album Diana Ross - Diana Ross	I have the American issue of this LP. Her version of "These Things Will Keep Me Loving You" is, for me, the stand-out track.
Neil Forbes 18th Dec 2014		Vinyl Album Various Artists - Pebbles Vol. 8	To get composer credits, you'd have to check through 45cat, whether any or all of the tracks here had been issued as singles in their own right.
Neil Forbes 18th Dec 2014		Vinyl Album The Beatles - Beatles VI	R.C., when you're burning your own CD of this album, or those you've mentioned by The Beach Boys, then yes, you could well design your own front cover, and if your printer has the capability to print onto inkjet-printable discs, then you could be designing your own CD labels as well(providing you've installed the software that came with the printer. For myself, I use a Canon IP-4850 printer with just such capability. Needless to say you would not sell the resultant CD! No way, Jose! You'd have put too much effort into making it to ever part with it! I did exactly that with this album, except I followed the American track order without having any knowledge of this website, because I made my CD copy several years ago.
Neil Forbes 18th Dec 2014		Vinyl Album The Beatles - Beatles VI	I'm gonna jump off this site and head over to 45cat. See you there, R.C.
Neil Forbes 18th Dec 2014		Vinyl Album The Beatles - Beatles VI	R.C. said: "they should have left the record alone and follow the British releases". Most wholeheartedly agree!
Neil Forbes 18th Dec 2014		Vinyl Album The Beatles - Beatles VI	R.C., it's kinda hard keeping track(no, I didn't intentionally make a pun) of label colours for EMI, singles or LPs, let alone EPs. 20 Explosive Hits on Columbia had black print on a blue label, then you'd see black on orange, Parlophone would be silver-on-black but also black-on-orange, I'd only be guessing, and wild guesses they'd be as well, as to what colour scheme would be used and for which purpose/reason... Ach, it's got me all confused(says me with best fake Scottish accent - Billy Connolly on TV in the background as I type this).
Neil Forbes 18th Dec 2014		Vinyl Album The Beatles - Beatles VI	EMI Australia used the same photo, R.C. but the title, which you gave, and track listing(not to mention the catalogue number..... aa-ah...told you not to mention the catalogue number[ha-ha]) would be vastly different.
Neil Forbes 18th Dec 2014		Vinyl Album Various Artists - Juke Box Jive	Just for comparison, here's the list of tracks for NA-466(Australian Version) - Side A = 1.Let's Dance(Chris Montez); 2.I Fought The Law(Bobby Fuller Four); 3.Clap Your Hands(Beau-Marks); 4.Pretty Little Angel Eyes(Curtis Lee); 5.Lucille(Little Richard); 6.Shake, Rattle & Roll(billed only as Bill Haley - no mention of The Comets); 7.Shakin' All Over(The Guess Who); 8.Party Doll(Buddy Knox); 9.La Bamba(Ritchie Valens); 10.Surfer Girl(Beach Boys); Side B = 1.Runaway(Del Shannon); 2.Rhythm Of The Rain(Cascades); 3.Love Potion No.9(Clovers); 4.Sweet Talkin' Guy(Chiffons); 5.Twilight Time(Platters); 6.The Wanderer(Dion); 7.Chapel Of Love(Dixie-Cups); 8.Twenty-Four Hours From Tulsa(Gene Pitney); 9.Get A Job(Silhouettes); 10.Venus(Frankie Avalon). How does this compare with the USA compilation? PhilMH, to answer your question, Frankie Avalon was issued on His Master's Voice, Del Shannon on London. London was Decca-owned but EMI-distributed in Australia at that time, and HMV - an EMI flagship label, of course. I can see only about 7 tracks in common between the two versions. In effect, this should render them as completely separate albums and should not share the title or the cover artwork. But that's my view.
Neil Forbes 18th Dec 2014		Vinyl Album Various Artists - Juke Box Jive	A quick glance at my own copy K-Tel NA-466 in Australia, shows a completely different line-up of tracks! You'd think Aussie K-Tel would've made the effort to a) follow the American track line-up(content), there are no Australian records included in the Aussie issue - It's all American content! Or b) redesign the cover instead of using the American sleeve design, considering the difference in content.
Neil Forbes 18th Dec 2014		Vinyl Album The Beatles - Beatles VI	The cassette I have of this(which I transferred to CD myself) has the tracks in a different order. The issue number was Capitol 4XT-2358 and the track order was: 1.Kansas City; 2.Bad Boy; 3.I Don't Want To Spoil The Party; 4.Words Of Love; 5.What You're Doing; 6.Every Little Thing - Side A; 1.Eight Days A Week; 2.You Like Me Too Much; 3.Yes It Is(in synthetic stereo); 4.Dizzy Miss Lizzie; 5.Tell Me What You See - Side B. This shows The American subsidiary didn't even follow the British track order. The album was intended for export markets, rather than the domestic British market, but still, Capitol should've made the effort and kept the playing order the same, don't you reckon?
Neil Forbes 18th Dec 2014		Vinyl Album Johnny Rivers - Rewind	Hi, I've just joined this side of the 45cat website, 45worlds, I have a few of these tracks on a CD compilation of Johnny Rivers and I took Tunesmith to be of 1969 vintage, I was out by two years, as this LP proves. It's one of Johnny's best tracks, composed by Jimmy Webb, but, using the 45cat. site which I also have open at the moment, I note there is no single issue of this song, meaning it may only have been an album track. Shame, really. Could've done well as a single.
