sunrocker 14th Jul 2022		Vinyl Album Elvis Presley - A Date With Elvis	The sun recordings on this album have much more delay than on the previous RCA issues. Why did they remix them again? I guess we will never know.
sunrocker 14th Jul 2022		Vinyl Album The Beach Boys - The Beach Boys' Christmas Album	Release date is later than 1964 in Germany. The mother company Carl Lindström changed their cat.-no. from 84 xxx to 74 xxx in 1966, this was for all sub labels like Electrola, Columbia, Odeon, Capitol. All records that had an old cat.-no. like 83 xxx or 84 xxx became the new 73 xxx or 74 xxx number now. This album here was issued with the SMK 74 310 cat.-no. ONLY - no earlier pressing with the old number combination exists, so it was issued 2 years later in 1966.
sunrocker 14th Jul 2022		Vinyl Album Various Artists - Cole Porter's Can-Can	The shown pressing (1849338 / 1849341 / 1849342 / 1849343) is from 1964 or later. The EMI Logo is on the cover and the Stereo sticker is printed with a yellow background. Older pressing habe a real stripe sticker in gold/black. And a pressing from 1960 would have a round Stereo sticker.
sunrocker 14th Jul 2022		Vinyl Album The Beach Boys - Surfin´USA	Interesting, that the second album was released in Germany with the older round Stereo-Sticker and the first album has the slighty newer stripe Stereo Sticker. I would guess that the first album was issued after the second in Germany. The EMI Logo isn't on the cover, so it's still an early pressing.
sunrocker 11th Apr 2022		Vinyl Album The Drifters - Save The Last Dance For Me	Atlantic was in the hands of Teldec (mother company of London Records in Germany) until 1959, after that Metronome Records had the rights on Atlantic. The Atlantic Special Series was a budget line with older material, so this LP wasn't pressed in 1962, I would guess sometimes in the mid to late 60s.
sunrocker 6th Apr 2022		Vinyl Album Bill Haley And His Comets - Live It Up!	The cover was just "loan" from the UK issue so "Made in England" is printed on it, but it was made in Germany with the then typical top open, fully laminated wide cover that was glued at the side. I've only seen black-gold labels for this LP, my own copy has no PX-stamp but the black-gold labels. Real UK sleeves had the halfmoon flipback cover with side open.
sunrocker 6th Apr 2022		Vinyl Album Eddie Cochran - Eddie Cochran's Best	A second pressing with EMI logo on cover exists, still from the sixties. The labels looks similar to the first pressing.
sunrocker 13th Mar 2021		Vinyl Album Johnny Burnette And The Rock 'n Roll Trio - Johnny Burnette And The Rock 'n' Roll Trio	Since today I'm the proud owner of an original copy of this killer album! The sleeve ist nearly perfect and the record in VG condition, but very good playable with only minor surface noise. Does anyone know wich innersleeve was originally used for this by Vogue Coral records? Mine has a innersleeve that has a text about record Care (Take good Care about your records...) printed in a square around the record hole and the words "brit pat applied for" in the lower right corner.
sunrocker 8th Feb 2021		Vinyl Album Jerry Lee Lewis - Jerry Lee Lewis	My copy is signed by Jerry Lee Lewis, I obtained the autograph in person, must be in the late 90s when Jerry stepped into the Hotel lobby before an concert and went very qickly to the elevators (at that time he was fit). I had his first LP with me and waited a long time to meet him, so i tried to keep the pace and asked him: "Mr. Lewis, won't you sign your first album?". He stopped, looked at me and the album and said: "Sure!". I had a thin pencil and Jerry wrote so quick that the ink doesn't came out right. He flipped the cover and said: "I sign it on the back for you" - so he did and that autograph is slighty better but it was the wrong pencil in a "once in a lifetime" situation.
sunrocker 6th Feb 2021		Vinyl Album Billy Fury - The Sound Of Fury	The shown backcover (2405735) shows a slightly later pressing, early ones have a halfmoon flipback cover.
sunrocker 8th Dec 2019		Vinyl Album Inner Circle - Blame It On The Sun	First pressings had the orange/white labels, the lightblue ones are a later pressing from around 1978 period.
