TopPopper 14th Jun 2020 | | Vinyl AlbumVarious Artists - The History Of Rock Volume Thirty Five | Not sure Lou Reed was a one-hit wonder!

TopPopper 22nd May 2020 | | Vinyl AlbumThe Beatles - The Essential Beatles | Rock N Roll Music was a double LP, but when re-issued as two singles, LP 1 included, "I Wanna Be Your Man", "Boys" and "Matchbox".

TopPopper 19th May 2020 | | Vinyl AlbumVarious Artists - Top Fifteen Flower Power | I have now split this across five separate entries, one for each country. These are great records, and thanks for uploading them all, but please could you put different editions on separate pages. They can then be linked using the "Add Linked Release" option at the bottom of the page (as I have done in this case). Cheers.

TopPopper 19th May 2020 | | Vinyl AlbumPaul And Linda McCartney - Ram | Very unlikely. However you could possibly find a needle drop if you're just wanting to hear it.
|
TopPopper 17th May 2020 | | Vinyl AlbumJohn Lennon - Rock 'N' Roll | The front cover photo isn't just John - Paul, Stu and George are the guys walking past - and on the back of this and other editions, there's mention of McCartney Music (copyright owner of "Peggy Sue"). Thus, Paul has his photo and name on this album sleeve.
|
TopPopper 15th May 2020 | | CD AlbumThe Smiths - Strangeways, Here We Come | People who don't listen to them often say that. But if you listen, you will realise their music, far from being depressing, is jubliant - spangly guitars, tambourines and lots of humour. I'd more likely want to slash my wrists after listening to an album by George Michael.

TopPopper 3rd May 2020 | | Vinyl AlbumThe Five Americans - The Five Americans' Progressions | If so, why is there a possessive apostrophe after the word Progressions?

TopPopper 1st May 2020 | | Vinyl AlbumMarty Gold - Moog Plays The Beatles | More modest

TopPopper 19th Apr 2020 | | BookVarious Authors - The Beatles Worldwide Singles And EP's Encyclopedia From A To Z Volume 12 Greece, Guatemala And India 1 | These look to be incredible books. Alas, with the series heading for about 40 volumes, at 25 Euros each (plus shipping) few will ever have them. 1,000 Euros is a bit too much for most of us. I wonder if the authors will ever release e-editions?

TopPopper 13th Apr 2020 | | CD AlbumPaul McCartney - Wingspan | Maybe I'm Amazed, Back Seat of My Car and Waterfalls were solo - two of them before Wings even existed. In my view, when Paul blurs his solo work into Wings's work, he cheapens the band's legacy - as if they don't matter and it's all about him. Wingspan would have been better as a true Wings compilation.

TopPopper 13th Apr 2020 | | Cassette AlbumThe Beatles - Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band | Added: 1980s edition. All that's changed on the inlay is the addition of a barcode, and the shunting up of the text above, to make room for it. The cassette itself is quite different though, with cream-coloured plastic and square bits around the two spools. I guess this didn't have too long a shelf life as the re-issues came out in 1987.

Fabulous track

TopPopper 8th Apr 2020 | | Vinyl Album[no artist listed] - Top Of The Pops: Vol. 23 | I'll bet Google is faster than me, but after two years, three months, I can reveal the answer is ... The New Seekers.
Ask me another and I'll get back to you in July 2022 :)

TopPopper 4th Apr 2020 | | 8-TrackGene Roddenberry - Inside Star Trek | Hold it up to the window or a lightbulb. I'll bet you find the red plastic is translucent, and the light passes through. That would explain why the scanner didn't scan red - there was no colour reflecting back at it.

OK, we all know the song, but check out the bass. Whoever it is knows their way around the fret board.

TopPopper 21st Feb 2020 | | Vinyl AlbumBob Dylan - Planet Waves | ReviewA contender for Dylan's most under-rated album. Generally speaking, not a bad track on the LP, except the fast version of Forever Young is probably expendable. Also, great reunion of Dylan and the Band after several years of the partnership being in stasis. Possibly the album has failed to be regarded as one of Dylan's greats due to being followed up by Blood On The Tracks then Desire, which have captured most of the plaudits.
