singlephile 14th Sep 2024		Vinyl Album [no artist listed] - Hot Hits 9	The Notes above mention the "original version" of "Softly Whispering I Love You". Although Brian Keith was, by all accounts, the lead vocalist on The Congregation's hit version (on which the "Hot Hits 9" version was based), it was not the original, strictly speaking. David And Jonathan had recorded it prior to The Congregation.
singlephile 19th Jul 2024		12" Single Jona Lewie - Hallelujah Europa (Part 1 And 2)	Uploaded extract from NME 22 May 1976 (page 2, News Desk, Recording News): Sonet took "the unusual step" (for that time) of issuing a 12-inch single. According to TNS, the corresponding 7-inch single was released on 23 July 1976. For some reason, I own two 12-inch singles of this: one with the usual Sonet pink and orange labels, matching those uploaded by David Whiteley (2261727, 2261726); the other with monochrome labels bearing a sketched likeness of Jona Lewie's face, matching those uploaded by Sander1 on the 7-inch entry (633664, 633666). The monochrome labels on that latter 12-inch are smaller labels of a size normally found on 7-inchers, and they do not mention SISCO 1; the only catalogue numbers on them are SON 2081 and a reference to the LP SNTF 794 (from 1979, I believe). The run-out grooves' widths and markings differ between the two 12-inch singles, although the musical content is the same, as far as I can tell. The long sides match the audio here: [YouTube Video]

singlephile 24th Apr 2024		Vinyl Album The Kingston Trio - Back In Town	Although the composer credits are given as the Kingston Trio themselves (Reynolds, Shane, Stewart), "Ah, Woe, Ah, Me" is a version of "Shame And Scandal In The Family": [YouTube Video]
singlephile 24th Apr 2024		78 RPM Sir Lancelot - Calypso	As mentioned in Jock_Girl's comment, here's Sir Lancelot in the 1943 movie "I Walked With A Zombie": [YouTube Video]
singlephile 28th Sep 2023		Magazine Sounds	The date 20 May 1971 is a typo on the magazine's front cover; it should have been 20 May 1972. The lead cover story refers to the death of Les Harvey, which occurred in May 1972. The edition of Sounds from the corresponding week in 1971 is dated 22 May 1971 and has a headline "Free break up" with a cover photo of Paul Kossoff.
