OldMod67 10th Feb 2023 | | BookKatherine Bebo - 111 Places In Bournemouth That You Shouldn't Miss | Part of '111 places' series. The same author also compiled one on Poole in 2019, one of the most popular in my local interest section at the shop. Most tend to be 'pictures from old Poole' and the like, but this series has area highlights along with current photographs.

OldMod67 10th Feb 2023 | | CD AlbumElectric Light Orchestra - ELO's Greatest Hits | I picked up this old edition at a charity shop a few days back. Unfortunately the booklet has been misprinted, slipping through with pages 4,5,8,9,12,13 blank. Mind you, still a bargain at 49p.
|
OldMod67 3rd Feb 2023 | | MagazineEchoes Of The Century | I was originally going to enter this as a book, due to it's format, but no ISBN and published via local newspaper. Some of their publications did have book numbers.
|
OldMod67 2nd Feb 2023 | | BookDaily Echo - Victory | Publications of this kind, from a news source, were assigned an ISBN. Others were not and when sold at our store had to be assigned a dummy ISBN (by me) to be processed at till points.
For example, Echoes of the Century, entered on this site as a magazine.

OldMod67 2nd Feb 2023 | | BookBernard Lewis - The Assassins | My copy (image 3203023) was purchased in a 50p charity pile and unfortunately lacks the slipcase.
|
OldMod67 31st Jan 2023 | | BookWilliam Nicholas - The Bobby Kennedy Nobody Knows | JimEss- like a lot of non-UK books, I've not seen this one before. Books published while the subjects were still alive can be fascinating, written at a time before more seedy elements are made public. But sometimes, especially with paperbacks with a gossip angle, there can be hints at things that make more sense later. I'll add this to the Kennedy list, thank you.

OldMod67 11th Dec 2022 | | BookJohn Lennon - In His Own Write | @JPGR&B: you're lucky they're mint! I got the paperback issues back then and being the only copies I had, read them cover to cover (countless times). Over the years the situation has obviously worsened and when I pulled them out to read on Dec 8th/9th P19-24, including the first page of The Fat Growth on Eric Hearble completely fell out!

OldMod67 27th Nov 2022 | | BookJules Verne - Journey To The Centre Of The Earth | 'The cover shows a detail from The Great Day of His Wrath (after John Martin) by C. Mottram, by courtesy of Christopher Wood Gallery, London/Bridgeman Art Gallery'
This is an 1857 hand coloured engraving, the cover actually showing a reverse of the original image. A nice gloss finish here making a fantastic cover for what was a £1 classic!
|
OldMod67 27th Nov 2022 | | BookJules Verne - A Journey To The Center Of The Earth | Introduction by Robert A. W. Lowndes.
Due to character name changes, this is sometimes known as the 'Hardwigg' translation (1871)
This translation begins 'Looking back to all that has occured to me..'

OldMod67 18th Nov 2022 | | CD AlbumT. Rex - Dandy In The Underworld | @gregs45s - Agreed! An impressive set, the live Hang-Ups is far better for me and Funky London Childhood a longtime fave. I almost always avoid Weird Strings though...
|
OldMod67 18th Nov 2022 | | CD AlbumOhio Players - Observations In Time | Original album produced by Johnny Brantley.
Track 7 appears to be an edit, by accident or design, missing the intro (approx eight seconds).
Track 11 is not correct. Although listed on the sleeve, insert and label as Street Party, the song that plays is a repeat of track 5, Find Someone To Love..
Track 12 sounds completely different, obviously a much later recording. I know their sound changed a lot, but I wondered if this was an error. The insert also credits the band writing this, instead of Gold, Denne.
Note: insert states album first released on Capitol Records in 1968. I listed 1969 in the notes as although the original sleeve note was dated '68, I've previously read it was issued in '69.
Obviously someone correct if I'm in error here.
Note: reverse of insert (image added) features original LP notes, albeit incredibly small.

OldMod67 29th Oct 2022 | | CD AlbumThe Beatles - Revolver | I watched the Parlogram unboxing of the vinyl (review to follow!) but won't pay out for stuff I just don't fancy. I don't give a hoot for this fad of new remixes of already classic records. All I want is the sessions, surely that's the draw for fans? The Beatles mono LPs as separate releases would certainly be welcome by many, without having to buy box sets. It is the music BUSINESS after all, but the legacy of Beach Boys, Who, Kinks has been treated a lot better.

OldMod67 28th Oct 2022 | | BookPeter Benenson - Persecution 1961 | Note: title lower-case. I did enter as such, correcting before confirming, but has capitalised after appearing. I assume this is an automated thing.
29 Oct 22: JPGR&B - Mod - Yes, automated.

OldMod67 14th Aug 2022 | | Vinyl AlbumT. Rex - The Slider | @frankheussner - it would make more sense, although there's no inner image here. Sixteen members own this, apart from me, so if anyone can share I'd appreciate it. Thanks.
