OldMod67 10th Jan 2021		Vinyl Album Plasticland - Plasticland	Produced by John Frankovic and Glenn Rehse (misprinted on label as Glen Rehse) Images added, including inner sleeve
OldMod67 10th Jan 2021		Vinyl Album Plasticland - Wonder Wonderful Wonderland	Images added, again only using my Kindle so not perfect, but better than nothing.
OldMod67 9th Jan 2021		Book Various Authors - Empire Made	@ David Whiteley Nice to see the full cover picture, thanks. I scanned mind back when I had a laptop and scanner, but was reluctant to open it more then my usual 'reading' position! I still recall getting my Richard Barnes 'Mods!' book in 1980, by about '82 it was already very loose at the spine. This may have been a case of dodgy binding though, as my other Eel Pie book, Maximum R&B went they same way very quickky!
OldMod67 4th Jan 2021		12" Single The Teardrop Explodes - Tiny Children	12" Advance promo images added. Credits added from stock copy. B side recorded live at Club Zoo, 22/12/81. Recorded by Neil Levine.
OldMod67 3rd Jan 2021		Book Lionel Fanthorpe - U.F.O. 517	One of the best things for me with these sites, 45s, L.P.s and especially books, is the array of covers on old and overseas releases. This cover is really similar to some of those pulp sci-fi novels from fifties USA. Not something I've ever really bought, but wish I had a collection of now!
OldMod67 1st Jan 2021		Book Various Contributors - The PuffinCyclopedia Of Children's Classics	@David Whiteley, thanks David! I had a habit of picking up every freebie bookmark we had come in, tucking them away. Unfortunately (or not if you're into de-cluttering), many seem to have vanished over time... I used to be a terrible hoarder.
OldMod67 1st Jan 2021		Book J. G. Ballard - High-Rise	Cover added
OldMod67 30th Dec 2020		Book Jules Verne - The Castle In Transylvania	Serialised in Le Magasin d'Education et de Recreation and first published in France as Le Chateaux des Carpathes by editions Hetzel in 1892. First published in English as The Castle of the Carpathians by The Merriam Company in 1894.

OldMod67 26th Dec 2020		Vinyl Album The V.I.P.s [mod Revival] - Need Somebody To Love	Tracks identical to 90s Beat Crazy collection, which includes all singles, including the split ROK label 45, the Music For Funsters debut and the band's second track on the ROK sampler LP. Writing credits differ from previous releases. No credits on label, credits taken from inner sleeve. Lyrics to Hippy Hippy Shake are not included, presumably as a cover. Delayed due to pressing issues, preordered copies surfaced in time for Christmas 2020. Glorious package, although discrepancies between label, sleeve and inner. e.g. sleeve and label read Boy Of The City. Typo on inner reads Love Ia A Golden Word.. I've got all the 45s bar the 1978 one, so very pleased to have a great run of singles all in one place. A Christmas present, my first V.I.Ps record since the eighties. Sounds amazing! Update: HOWEVER! There is a bit of surface noise towards the end of side one. Not very apparent on the portable deck downstairs, but on another it is more noticeable. I assumed it was a dubbed from disc issue, but seems not. Optic Nerve are repressing and replacing! Update #2: The repressing happened; all good!
OldMod67 16th Dec 2020		Book Michael Avallone - The Girl From U.N.C.L.E. No.2 The Birds Of A Feather Affair	Just revisiting this after David Whiteley's update of another in the series. I wondered if some kind soul could replace my old image with another. The damage in the eyes gives it a Children of the Damned effect! Thanks in advance.
OldMod67 7th Dec 2020		Book E. F. Benson - The Outcast And Other Dark Tales	Horror seemed the best catch-all due to the 'dark' nature of the fiction. I did toy with adding Fantasy, but that to me conjures up dragons and the like. I'm still reading this book as if was an advance copy sent from British Library, sat waiting for me at work the whole time I was on Covid furlough...

OldMod67 30th Nov 2020		Book G. W. Dahlquist - The Glass Books Of The Dream Eaters	@David Whiteley, Hi. Some branches had the belly-bands and cards, although I think we had to request them. Thing may have gone awry as the subbing in of stock may well have occurred in the October, when our Ottakar's had just been absorbed into HMV and re-branding as a Waterstones (October 2006). There were also some of the masks around too....The instalments were a good way to read them and I do recall our Penguin rep having a signed set of those.
OldMod67 29th Nov 2020		Book G. W. Dahlquist - The Glass Books Of The Dream Eaters	Illustrations added of ten instalment set, popped back in its shrinkwrap after reading. Also added Waterstones Chapter One sample. This was available free to customers.
OldMod67 28th Nov 2020		Book G. W. Dahlquist - The Glass Books Of The Dream Eaters	First published in the United States of America by Bantam Dell, a division of Random House, Inc August 1st 2006. First published in Great Britain by Viking, October 16th 2006 in ten chapter instalments, by subscription. The single volume was published in hardcover as above, January 25th 2007. Note: The ten instalments were also shrinkwrapped and used as advance copies to booksellers. A chapter sample was also used as a trailer for the book to customers of Waterstones Bookshops.
OldMod67 24th Nov 2020		TV Adventures Of Superman (1952 - 1958)	I used to watch reruns of this in England in the 1970s. I don't however recall seeing it in colour and we did have colour tv. Perhaps my memory is a bit off...
OldMod67 22nd Nov 2020		Book E. C. Tubb - Breakaway	Belatedly added (rather tatty) cover, first printing. 143pp refers to numbered pages, this is followed by the unnumbered blank.
OldMod67 22nd Nov 2020		12" Single The Dream Academy - Please Please Please	I've added a pic of the shrink sticker. If it warrants a new entry I will of course do it, unless a fellow Catter wants to pop it on.
OldMod67 22nd Nov 2020		Vinyl Album The Dream Academy - The Dream Academy	Added missing info, including additional cat no. Variations on the 1985 release exist, including mine, pressed in Germany for sale in UK. This edition has no barcode on rear sleeve. Inner sleeve does not photograph well (for me!) It is a white poly-lined inner with printed lyrics.
OldMod67 21st Nov 2020		Book P. L. Travers - Mary Poppins	Pridesale - I don't possess a first Puffin, but the cover is shown here http://www.penguinfirsteditions.com/Puffin/PS182.jpg with cover design and illustrations both by Mary Shepard, published October 1962.
OldMod67 20th Nov 2020		Book Adi-Kent Thomas Jeffrey - The Bermuda Triangle	Images added

OldMod67 19th Nov 2020		Book Helen Spence - The Beatles Forever	Alternate jacket and claret/gilt effect board added
OldMod67 19th Nov 2020		Book Dorset Then & Now - Newsquest Media	Editor: Toby Granville Words: Darren Slade and Diarmuid MacDonagh Picture research and sourcing: Michelle Luther and Diarmuid MacDonagh Design, page layout, image blending and manipulation: John Newbury Production: Carl Blackmore These perennial bestselling local publications were usually one print run. Often published ready for the Christmas market I used to source them direct from The Echo and were a major seller, both for my local section and for the shop as a whole. As Christmas gifts they were always one of the most popular series of books.
OldMod67 17th Nov 2020		Book John Wyndham - Web	@ppint That's really interesting. I presumed it was just the lure of ££ that got it out, along with the tenth anniversary of Wyndham's passing. Brian Aldiss mentioned in a documentary some years back that Wyndham asked him to collaborate on a 'spider' novel, but declined. I assumed it was still to be polished until I read different a lot later on (amazing what you can find on this internet thingie) but apparently it was complete. I actually really enjoyed it and although very short I got sucked right into it. Not really a big fan of spiders, so that was on my mind....
OldMod67 16th Nov 2020		Book John Wyndham - Web	Originally submitted for publication in 1965, but rejected.
OldMod67 14th Nov 2020		Book Andre Pieyre De Mandiargues - The Girl On The Motorcycle	Added my fairly tatty film cover, Jan '75 printing. I'm sure someone can replace it with a more presentable copy!
OldMod67 14th Nov 2020		Book Frank R. Setchfield - The Official Badge Collector's Guide	Images added
