Problem Child 26th Dec 2018 | | Vinyl AlbumThe Beatles - "Yesterday"...And Today | I've just got a copy of this but with slight differences; the A side has; MFD. BY APPLE RECORDS, INC. in green at the bottom of the label, but the B side has no rim text like above. My sleeve has been folded slightly differently; the text top right is on the fold line on the top edge of cover and there's a little more showing of Paul's socks/ankle at the bottom edge.

Problem Child 11th Dec 2018 | | Vinyl AlbumStatus Quo - Hello! | Hi jakal68, just seen your comment (one year later...). Just found the cat number on the poster - so, original inclusion, Thanks.
I see the release date has not been changed yet - see my previous comment below. I would have thought one of the last two weeks of September, 21st or 28th, for release. Bearing in mind the single from it - 'Caroline' came out in the 31st August and was in the Top 30 by the 2nd week of September, singles usually preceded an LP by at least a couple of weeks back then.

Problem Child 8th Nov 2018 | | Vinyl AlbumDr. Feelgood - Stupidity | I have two copies of this, one I bought at the time and another near new one to replace my well played copy more recently, though both look the same. My original copy has after the matrix;- A-1 U JONZ , the name is hand written, on Side 2;- B-1 U TRIDENT , the name is also handwritten.
The other copy, with exactly same label has; A-2U and B-2 U on their respective sides but no handwritten names.
I don't know if this signifies and earlier or later pressing, but I bought my first copy in December '76 and it included the 'free' single.

Problem Child 15th Oct 2018 | | Vinyl AlbumVarious Artists - Jack Good's "Oh Boy" | I've had a copy of this for quite a while now and apart from the record being in superb condition the sleeve is little rough around the edges and the laminate lifting in places. But... it has had sellotape over the top part of the sleeve back. Because of it's age, going yellowy brown, I assumed the writing under it, which is not that clear, was written by a friend of the owners which appeared to have best wishes from... as a present.
Looking at it again just now, I see that they are are signatures from;- the Dallas Boys, Neville Taylor, probably the Vernons Girls, Cliff Richard and someone else who I've yet to identify.
I'm going soak it in petrol and to try and lift the tape, though I don't think all the stains will go. Will scan one day.

Problem Child 15th Oct 2018 | | Vinyl AlbumMetal Urbain - Les Hommes Morts Sont Dangereux | I have the UK issue of this, released by Rough Trade, with a different cat No.;- BLPS 8101. There are some differences to the label - it's a bit less busy with the info, and the sleeve has 3 small 'NOT TO BE EATEN' stickers on it! And there is the RT logo where the 'Clelluloid' logo appears.

Cheers, PC.

Problem Child 12th Jul 2018 | | Vinyl AlbumThe Stranglers - No More Heroes | This entered the Album charts on 8th October '77, making the last possible release date the 30th September, which was 2 weeks after the title single, which given their current success was likely. It reached No. 2 and spent 19 weeks on the chart.
|
Problem Child 12th Jul 2018 | | Vinyl AlbumThe Stranglers - Stranglers IV (Rattus Norvegicus) | This entered the Album charts on 30th April '77, so the May release date is wrong. Possible 8th, 15th or even 22nd April release date, depends how quick people were to pick up on their 1st LP.
It reached No. 4 and spent 34 weeks on the chart.

Problem Child 24th Apr 2018 | | 12" SingleRolling Stones - Sex Drive (Club Version) | Info added. Can't see this record on here, so... Bought this in Tower Records, Piccadilly Circus in late '91, and kept it in their clear plastic sleeve for protection. I always thought it was a foreign release (- has made in Holland on label), I remember something about it - was it banned?! Has just 'Rolling Stones' on label and sleeve - not 'The R S ... If in wrong place - can a mod please move to where it should be.
Just seen US promo version, CAS 4051, which has same style sleeve, but not label - mine has the standard yellow.
