OldMod67 7th Sep 2024 | | Vinyl AlbumAnthony Meynell And Squire - September Gurls | @JohhnyCool: Yeah, like the Merton Parkas 12" that surfaced with singles tracks. I seem to remember they were described as mini albums, maybe due to the number of tracks...
I'm glad this is coming out, but hoped there would be a mono of the expanded edition.
I did look for the mono when the original came out, but saw nothing that it was cancelled. It wasn't until 2019 when Anthony showed me the cover of the upcoming expanded edition that I mentioned not finding a mono; he said then that it didn't make it to release. He did say how good it sounded though, so can't wait to here it properly. I did suggest a mono EP too, bearing in mind the mixes he's sitting on, which would be a nice edition to the Squire catalogue.

OldMod67 12th Aug 2024 | | CD AlbumBangles - Different Light | Hi, thanks to all for your info. The CD itself is identical to image 2265804.
As to the 'innards', the reverse of the rear cover inlay has (01-026659-10) and yes, the grey tray has 'Patent pending 6.4'
It does seem a bit of a mish-mash, but then I remember getting the All Over The Place LP in '84
(I wasn't buying CDs until about 1990) and it was a stamped demo, for UK use but manufactured in Holland.
Thanks again to you all for your help.

OldMod67 11th Aug 2024 | | CD AlbumBangles - Different Light | I've not entered my copy yet as I'm a bit puzzled as to origin. It is almost the same as above, but subtle differences:
Although it states 'Made in Holland ' on the back cover, the disc states 'Made in Japan's on the outer ring note.
No barcode and catalogue number is the same, but rear cover (top left) under the cat.no, the boxed CB 821 on my copy reads CB 801. If CB stands for CBS product, why the number change?
Advice welcome.

OldMod67 1st Aug 2024 | | VHSGimme Shelter [Music] - Melody Maker | Great indie compilation tape from the eighties, with a lot of non mainstream TV videos.
The main music selling-points for me back then were Television Personalities, James Taylor Quartet, Mighty Lemon Drops, Shop Assistants, The Chills, 14 Iced Bears and Soup Dragons.

**now done. Thanks**

OldMod67 5th Jul 2024 | | TVStax: Soulsville U.S.A. (2024) | Rated 7/10I was incredibly eager to see this series, which had been mentioned for a couple of years and it's well worth a watch. Previous features on Stax have never disappointed, despite having to cover a vast history in one-off efforts, literally a label of two halves, - the spinning discs and the post-Otis finger clickin' era.
On-camera interviews with surviving artists and writers was very welcome, which included Stax insider and archivist Deanie Parker who's always a great listen. Great to see the makers managed to capture filmed interviews with those that have since passed, Jim Stewart of course but also the wonderful Bettye Crutcher who is often overlooked in the Stax story.
Although not everything can be captured (even Rob Bowman's welcome nineties book had to limit itself), there were a few things that jarred by their omission. The Jim and Estelle label start-up, with financing and initial Satellite imprint, yes it's been covered elsewhere but if this was the high profile final word, I expected a mention. And to book-end it, the sad ending didn't mention the promising reconvening of the MGs and subsequent murder of Al Jackson Jr before that could occur. That subject is still controversial, with plenty of speculation, but remains untold. An acknowledgement of the events should have been included at the very least.
The four parts could easily have been longer. It reminded me of watching and taping The Beatles Anthology from the initial TV broadcast and then getting the expanded version when released on sell-through, so much more. Perhaps there will be.

OldMod67 10th May 2024 | | Live MusicThe Fall @ Bournemouth Town Hall | My cousin attended this gig, in fact we only spoke about it again yesterday (Bournemouth Runner etc). I so regret not going to this one, not sure why I couldn't go. New Order played here too, which a mate of mine went to. I had N.O. first three singles and recall a last minute scoot down on my semi-trusty Vespa to maybe blag a ticket somehow, saw how my madness had gotten the better of me and scooted off elsewhere!

OldMod67 6th Apr 2024 | | Vinyl AlbumSpencer Davis Group - The Best Of The Spencer Davis Group Featuring Stevie Winwood | A long ago puzzle for me is the change in cover art between this and the original issue. When I got this in 1986 I noticed the difference to the the illustration on the back of the Best of EP which I'd bought three years earlier.
The difference in alignment of titles with Trampoline stuck out at the end just looked weird.
What seems to have occurred is the original cover title Please Do Something has been removed and a re-jig taken place. Together Till The End Of Time meanwhile, doesn't appear on either cover.
I wondered if I'd missed a comment somewhere on the site and even second guessed myself in case I'd left one already.
Last minute track change in '67, covers already printed? Perhaps the artwork change happened before '86. Just wondered.
