Plaatjesman 22nd Oct 2013 |  | Vinyl AlbumJoe Jackson - Body And Soul | Although the catalogue number is '395 000-1', this German reissue displayes on the front cover the original American catalogue number 'SP5000'.
They even didn't use the original European catalogue number 'AMLX 65000'.

|
Plaatjesman 22nd Oct 2013 |  | Vinyl AlbumJoe Jackson - Body And Soul | My copies are in translucent vinyl and are yellowish when you hold it up to a light.

Plaatjesman 22nd Oct 2013 |  | Vinyl AlbumJoe Jackson - I'm The Man | Added a label variation.
Only the legal line is different.

The 2nd from the 'Nice Price from CBS' serie.
|
Plaatjesman 21st Oct 2013 |  | Vinyl AlbumJoe Jackson's Jumpin' Jive - Jumpin' Jive | No, it came without the badge .......
|
Plaatjesman 21st Oct 2013 |  | Vinyl AlbumJoe Jackson - Mike's Murder Soundtrack | There is something strange with the catalogue number.
On the label it is "L 38052". On the back cover and the spine the number is "RML 53123".
|
Plaatjesman 21st Oct 2013 |  | Vinyl AlbumJoe Jackson - Mike's Murder Soundtrack | Added scans of cover and labels
|
Plaatjesman 21st Oct 2013 |  | Vinyl AlbumJoe Jackson - Mike's Murder Soundtrack | @Beatcrazy: No, I'm not collecting them either. I 'just' happen to have 3 different version of the stock copy. Until a week ago, I wasn't aware that these copies were different.
And because of you remark on "Zémeo" in the Yugoslavian pressing, I noticed that label variations B and C name track B1 "Zémio" and on label R it is "Zémeo". On all US-covers it is named "Zémio"

Plaatjesman 21st Oct 2013 |  | Vinyl AlbumJoe Jackson - Mike's Murder Soundtrack | Scans of stock labels
|
Plaatjesman 21st Oct 2013 |  | Vinyl AlbumJoe Jackson's Jumpin' Jive - Jumpin' Jive | Added scans of cover and labels
|
Plaatjesman 21st Oct 2013 |  | Vinyl AlbumJoe Jackson - I'm The Man | Added scans of cover and labels
|

|
Plaatjesman 16th Oct 2013 |  | Vinyl AlbumJoe Jackson - Mike's Murder Soundtrack | Finally added the labels of 2 label variations.
The first 2 have a little C printed left of the A&M logo.
The second 2 a little R printed left of the A&M logo.
Probably indicating that they are pressed in different factories.
|
Plaatjesman 16th Oct 2013 |  | Vinyl AlbumJoe Jackson - Mike's Murder Soundtrack | Also added the labels of 2 testpressings.
The yellow testpressing is from Indiana and is pressed on Quiex II Vinyl and is translucent when you hold it up to a light.
The second tespressing is from Indianapolis and is pressed on normal black vinyl.
|
Plaatjesman 16th Oct 2013 |  | Vinyl AlbumJoe Jackson - Mike's Murder Soundtrack | track A4 Memphis is produced by Joe Jackson and David Kershenbaum.
Also added scans of the cover and labels of a Promo copy. On the labels is a little B printed left of the A&M logo. This promo is pressed on Quiex II Vinyl and is translucent when you hold it up to a light.
|
Plaatjesman 15th Oct 2013 |  | Vinyl AlbumJoe Jackson - Night And Day | My copy of this Canadian Night and Day release didn't come in a gatefold sleeve (fold-out cover), but with an inner sleeve.
Judging by the design of the labels, this seems to be a later (and cheaper) reissue.
|
Plaatjesman 15th Oct 2013 |  | Vinyl AlbumJoe Jackson - Night And Day | Also added scans of a white promo label and the promo info sheet.
|
Plaatjesman 15th Oct 2013 |  | Vinyl AlbumJoe Jackson - Night And Day | Also added scans of advance promo labels with handwritten titles.
|
Plaatjesman 14th Oct 2013 |  | Vinyl AlbumJoe Jackson - Look Sharp! | On the back of the cover of this early Spanish edition the information is translated into Spanish. Always nice to spot the differences.
They forgot the (!) in 'Look Sharp!' in the track-listing, both on the back cover as on the label.
But also in the record title on both sides of the label.
And they invented a new song title: ' Is She Really Going Out With You '
|
Plaatjesman 14th Oct 2013 |  | Vinyl AlbumJoe Jackson - Look Sharp! | This promo is sold to me as 'Canadian'.
But, as 'Bobzyeruncle' remarks do make sense (this 'Canadian' promo-label looks more like the USA SP 4743 stock label than the common USA promo-label), I did some research on the matrix numbers in the run-off groove area of both countries.
This 'Canadian' promo label has "A&M SP5223 (RE-2)-P2" on side 1 and "A&M SP5224 (RE-2)-P1" on side 2.
The Canadian stock copies have "SP 4743-A", "SP 5223" and "tlc" scattered on side 1 and "SP 4743-B", "SP 5224" and "tlc" in a very short run-off groove area on side 2. Also the word "para" can be found on either side.
All my USA copies (as well as stock-, promo- and test-pressing) have some sort of "A&M SP5223 (RE-2)" on side 1 and "A&M SP5224 (RE-2)" on side 2. Usually with extra codes added to it like "-M1" (common USA promo white label), "-M3" (USA test pressings) or "-RC2" on my stock copy.
So, 'Bobzyeruncle' is probably right and these White Label Promo scans should be transferred to the USA pressing
That leaves my question, why so many different Test- and Promo-pressings? And what would be the oldest pressing?
|
Plaatjesman 11th Oct 2013 |  | Vinyl AlbumJoe Jackson's Jumpin' Jive - Jumpin' Jive | Added the normal labels.
|
Plaatjesman 11th Oct 2013 |  | Vinyl AlbumJoe Jackson Band - Beat Crazy | Yep, probably you're right!
Strange that these Japanese have to double check the number of tracks ............
|
Plaatjesman 11th Oct 2013 |  | Vinyl AlbumJoe Jackson Band - Beat Crazy | Added stock labels.
There is an other small difference between the stock labels and the promo labels, besides the usual japanese promo sign. The stock labels have a (6) below 'The Joe Jackson Band', where the promo label have a (5).
Anybody a suggestion what this means?
|
Plaatjesman 10th Oct 2013 |  | Vinyl AlbumJoe Jackson Band - Beat Crazy | Added scans of stock copy and of test pressing.
|
Plaatjesman 10th Oct 2013 |  | Vinyl AlbumJoe Jackson Band - Beat Crazy | Added scans of Inner sleeve and of a label variation.
This label varies only in the legal line. I think this must be the first dutch pressing, because I bought this record as soon as it was released.
|
Plaatjesman 10th Oct 2013 |  | Vinyl AlbumJoe Jackson - Soy El Hombre (I'm The Man) | Yes, I also think that it would be more complete if the album and track titles were written in Spanish with the English titles in brackets.
|
Plaatjesman 9th Oct 2013 |  | Vinyl AlbumJoe Jackson - I'm The Man | Added the label variation of the mispressed copy (where side 2 plays side 2 of Joe Jackson's 1981 record "Jumpin' Jive")
This mispressed copy has the same cover as the original 1979 issue, but it came with no insert.
The labels have a slight variation. A little 'B' is printed left of the A&M logo on the bottom of the label. I think this 'B' indicates the recordplant where this record has been pressed.
The matrix numbers in the run-off groove area will not indicate a mispressing. The matrix numbers are "A&M SP04794A ES-1" and "AM SP04794 B ES2", where I would have expected a Jumpin' Jive US record number SP04871 on the B-side.
Oh, and side 2 has 6 tracks!
|
Plaatjesman 9th Oct 2013 |  | Vinyl AlbumJoe Jackson - I'm The Man | Added scans of stock copy.
On the inner sleeve with the photos of the band members, their names are removed on this Japanese pressing.
