neilthompson30 3rd Nov 2022 | | CD SingleDel Amitri - Kiss This Thing Goodbye | This is the 1990 reissue and not the 1989 original - same tracks but different number. The original 1989 release was AMY 515
|
neilthompson30 23rd Aug 2022 | | CD SingleSwervedriver - Last Train To Satansville | I've got this with a promotion sticker on the case - it was released September 2nd
|
neilthompson30 1st Jul 2018 | | Vinyl AlbumOwen Bradley - The Big Guitar | The year is wrong - it's 1959 - the tracks were recorded in January 59
|
neilthompson30 28th Dec 2017 | | Vinyl AlbumEarl Bostic And His Orchestra - Earl Bostic | I thought the UK version was LDE 100 - this album is from New Zealand
|
neilthompson30 7th Jul 2017 | | 78 RPMHank Thompson And His Brazos Valley Boys - Honky-Tonk Girl / Wake Up, Irene | This was released October 54 (according to the monthly 'new records' booklet from the time)
|
neilthompson30 30th Jan 2017 | | Vinyl AlbumBarbra Streisand - People | Hmm - sorry Sidney didn't see that bit - I just saw a Reprise album with the same thing - stereo sticker on back of the mono sleeve. I actually have the true stereo cover (they must have eventually got sick of putting the stickers on!) but I haven't got the equipment to upload it

neilthompson30 29th Jan 2017 | | 78 RPMBobby Rydell - Kissin' Time / You'll Never Tame Me | The record implies that it's half composed by Robert SCHUMANN, the German composer -
when it should be Mort SHUMAN
|
neilthompson30 28th Jan 2017 | | Vinyl AlbumBarbra Streisand - People | The sleeve shown for this is the mono version -
the stereo one has STEREO in top right corner of the front with an arrow each side
|
neilthompson30 19th Dec 2016 | | 78 RPMBobby Rydell - Kissin' Time / You'll Never Tame Me | B side composer credits should be - Pomus, Shuman
|
neilthompson30 20th Jul 2016 | | Vinyl AlbumWarren Barker And His Orchestra - William Holden | It says 1959 on the label cause that's when it was first released - in America.
The Warner Bros. label didn't start in the UK until 1960 -
which is the year that this album was probably released in the UK
|
neilthompson30 4th Jul 2016 | | Vinyl AlbumJohnny And The Hurricanes - Stormsville | Has anyone any idea when this album was recorded -
they moved to the 'Big top' label shortly after, my guess is - late 59?
|
neilthompson30 22nd Jun 2016 | | CD AlbumDuane Eddy - That Classic Twang | Does anyone know why Bob Jones remixed the stereo tracks on this and the box set.
Is there something wrong with some of the original 50s releases?
I don't want to buy remixes - I want the originals
|
neilthompson30 13th Jun 2016 | | 78 RPMSonny Terry Trio - Hootin' Blues / Bop! Goes The Weasel | Surely the Sonny Terry side is the same as the U.S. Gramercy label release (1060) released in 1952 also
|
neilthompson30 19th Mar 2016 | | Vinyl AlbumVarious Artists - Golden Goodies, Volume 1 | Does anyone have any knowledge about the 2 UK Columbia albums - Golden goodies volume 1 (33SX 1664) and volume 2 (33SX 1672)? Were they the same as volume 1 and 2 of the American series or were they different?

|
neilthompson30 14th Oct 2015 | | Live MusicBrinsley Schwarz @ Sundown [Mile End Road] | This is the Sundown at Mile End, not Brixton
mod edit: whoops!

neilthompson30 14th Oct 2015 | | Live MusicElectric Light Orchestra @ Newcastle City Hall | ReviewThis gig was cancelled - it was supposed to be Electric Light Orchestra/Colin Blunstone/Fishbaugh, Fishbaugh and Zorn. I had a ticket but it was cancelled on the day.
Their next Newcastle gig was cancelled also - May 16 1976 at the Theatre Royal

neilthompson30 17th Mar 2015 | | 78 RPMEddy Arnold - Just A Little Lovin' (Will Go A Long, Long Way) / My Daddy Is Only A Picture | Great to see these Eddy Arnold export 78s listed - I never knew there were so many. This 78 wasn't the first one. I've got an old Regal Zonophone export list from the late 40s. There are some great U.S. Columbia and RCA releases - Gene Autry, Jimmie Rodgers, Carter Family, Montana Slim, Carson Robison, Riley Puckett, Texas Jim Robertson, Roy Rogers, The Bar X Cowboys, Bill Boyd, Bob Atcher, Bob Wills and Floyd Tillman. The Eddy Arnold release is -
Chained to a memory/To my sorrow - Eddy Arnold and his Plowboys (Regal Zonophone ME65) October 1948
|
neilthompson30 21st Jan 2015 | | 78 RPMJo Stafford And Frankie Laine - Pretty Eyed Baby / That's The One For Me | The D.B. series is just a normal UK 78 - the export 78s are DC or MC
|
neilthompson30 21st Jan 2015 | | 78 RPMHank Thompson And His Brazos Valley Boys - Honky-Tonk Girl / Wake Up, Irene | This isn't an export issue - it's a normal UK Capitol 78 issue
|
neilthompson30 21st Nov 2013 | | 78 RPMTony Crombie And His Rockets - Lonesome Train (On a Lonseome Track) / We're Gonna Rock Tonight | Isn't this just the standard English release?
|
neilthompson30 18th Aug 2013 | | 78 RPMThe Everly Brothers - Cathy's Clown / Always It's You | There were three Warner Bros UK 78s - 1 (Cathy's clown) 10 (Sammy Masters - Rockin' Red Wing) and 19 (Lucille)
|
neilthompson30 26th Jun 2013 | | 78 RPMKen Griffin - When Your Hair Has Turned To Silver / Louise | I think this is later than 1949 - the recording is from about 1951 - and the release would be 1953 - DC 608 is March 53 and DC 670 is November 54. (Fixed, Mod.)
