razwilliams 5th Jan 2017 | | Vinyl AlbumElvis Presley - Good Rockin' Tonight | Finally after many years got hold of an early issue.This is September 1958.
The various releases are very confusing, but this early issue has foldover flaps and the sleeve is similar in weight to most UK releases from the same period. The label is black, I'm unsure why the other 1958 illustrated on this page has a yellow label. I thought all the 50's versions had the black label.
I also have one from 11/61. The sleeve is hard cardboard ,like a US record, without flaps .The label is yellow.

razwilliams 12th Oct 2016 | | Vinyl AlbumJohnny Burnette And The Rock 'n Roll Trio - Johnny Burnette And The Rock 'n' Roll Trio | I think the story was, Chester from The Bop Shop Harrow had this, sold it and then won it back in a game of poker. This was back in the 70's.He then sold it to a customer, and I swapped it with the customer 30 years later in exchange for the US Coral 12". I think I got the better deal.

razwilliams 6th Oct 2016 | | Vinyl AlbumArt Baxter And His Rock 'n' Roll Sinners - Rock You Sinners | A very embarrassing addition, My copy is badly wrecked, mind you it was a freebie.
|
razwilliams 4th Oct 2016 | | 78 RPMKenny Roberts Accompanied By The Down Homers - Out Where The West Winds Blow / Who's Gonna Kiss You When I'm Gone | Just added images taken from actual record. I'm not sure if the other images are from an original or taken from internet images. As no else seems to own this record ,I suspect it is the latter, in which case my images should be moved up to top position.
Incidentally i didn't pay anything like $500 for this,got it on a Joel Slotnikoff auction about 5 years ago for something like $46.
