pudgym 15th Mar 2017 | | Vinyl AlbumVarious Artists - KEWI Presents 24 All-Time Kee Wee Klassics | Inaccessible now; but I have a copy of this LP with probably the same records thereupon labelled for WROK Rockford (IL.) When accessed, will try to upload.

pudgym 9th Mar 2017 | | Vinyl AlbumMungo Jerry - Mungo Jerry | What, pray tell, is a skiffle tune doing on the pop charts in 1970? !=)}
|
pudgym 9th Mar 2017 | | Vinyl AlbumUnderground Sunshine - Let There Be Light | I have this LP. It is on Intrepid. It was from the Musicland sidewalk sale [19¢ for first LP, 1¢ for the second]. When I uncover it from the inside back porch, will check for country of release.
|
pudgym 9th Mar 2017 | | Vinyl AlbumSailcat - Motorcycle Mama | As far as I can tell, the LP jacket for the U.S.A. is the same as the Japanese release, and the artwork is by Jack Davis (One of MAD Magazine's usual gang of idiots.).
|
pudgym 8th Mar 2017 | | Vinyl AlbumJoyce Everson - Crazy Lady | Peter Frampton plays his electric guitar on this LP.
|
pudgym 8th Mar 2017 | | Vinyl AlbumLittle Joe [Pesci] - Little Joe Sure Can Sing | I found this LP at a Woolworth's store. I think it was the one at Lincoln and School streets on the north side of Chicago. [The Lincoln | Belmont | Ashland shopping area.] It was 3 for $1.00.

pudgym 15th Feb 2017 | | Vinyl AlbumVarious Artists - You Must Remember These Volume II | "Midnight Mary" is rechanneled stereo.
|
pudgym 15th Feb 2017 | | Vinyl AlbumVarious Artists - History Of British Rock | Have a strong memory of buying this double LP, as well as Volume 2 for $2.50 each @ The Record Warehouse, a shop with only cut-out LPs, on N. Ravenswood St. north of Irving Park Rd. in Chicago. The catch was: You paid $1.25 times the number of records in each album. So a double LP was $2.50, a triple LP was $3.75, a quadruple LP was $5.00.
I am pretty sure this was also how and where I bought the Nuggets compilation. Most likely this was when Sire switched distribution from ABC to Warner Bros. Did I see any Ramones LP? I honestly do not recall. But perhaps I was not looking through the "R" racks.

pudgym 15th Feb 2017 | | Vinyl AlbumRobert Klein - Child Of The 50's | Bought this LP for $1.99. Seem to recall hearing one track on Dr. Demento. ("This is the upper deck at Yankee Stadium. We'd like to cast 2,000 votes for the Teen Tones, and 26 votes for the one-armed piano player.")
|
pudgym 15th Feb 2017 | | Vinyl AlbumRay D'Ariano - Are You On Something? | Good thing Columbia Records couldn't copyright the look of their 1960s LPs. ;=)}
I bought this one for 59¢ in the late 1970s.
Most of my LPs have never been played. I just never got around to doing so.

pudgym 15th Feb 2017 | | Vinyl AlbumVarious Artists - 72 Original Hits | @Neil Forbes
The LP cover design looks a lot like what was used for the "The Greatest 64 Motown Original Hits".
|
pudgym 15th Feb 2017 | | Vinyl AlbumSpanky And Our Gang - Anything You Choose b/w Without Rhyme Or Reason | Chicago's Kelly Hogan (from The Flat Five) just reviewed this LP in issue #64 of Shindig! Magazine (from the U.K.: £4.95 ~ $9.89).
I have this LP. I paid 10¢ for it, as a cut-out, in a Musicland sidewalk sale back in the late 1970s.

Is this the last song he ever ‘wrote’? ;=)}

pudgym 16th Aug 2016 | | Vinyl AlbumPete Wingfield - Breakfast Special | "The Cover Of 'Rolling Stone'" is one thing.
But "Eighteen With A Bullet" really was • #18 on Billboard's November 22, 1975 Hot 100 chart! (It peaked at #15.)

pudgym 16th Aug 2016 | | Vinyl AlbumFrank Ifield - I Remember You | This was the performer Vee Jay really wanted. But it finally relented and accepted the recordings of an English quartet with guitars and a buggy-sounding name of which Capitol had declined its option. (!)
|
pudgym 16th Aug 2016 | | Vinyl AlbumBee Gees - Trafalgar | "How Can You Mend A Broken Heart" was originally offered to Andy Williams, but he declined to record it.

|
pudgym 16th Aug 2016 | | Vinyl AlbumIsley Brothers - Doin’ Their Thing | For some questionable (I'm being polite here) reason, these are the tracks which were not leased to Legacy Records for the 23 CD release of the Isley Bros.' 1959-1983 records.
|
pudgym 16th Aug 2016 | | Vinyl AlbumMelanie - Garden In The City | Record pressed at American Record Pressing in Owosso, MI. Supposedly released in March 1972; but does not have the ℗ mark.

pudgym 16th Aug 2016 | | Vinyl AlbumAndy Kim - Andy Kim's Greatest Hits | I can't get to a lot of my LPs currently. But on my printed list (from June 1978), I've scribed this as being on (ABC)Dunhill. Is this possible?
|

Some vinyl LPs did get out without the bandage on the cover, as well as most of the 8-track cartridges.

The cover has a black-filled box with 'Two / Smash Hits / in this album / "It Hurts To Be In Love" / also / "I'm Gonna Be Strong"' stenciled out just to the right of the 'y' in Pitney. Musicor label is orange. TM ® Talmadge Productions / Made in U.S.A. at bottom.
