wordnwot 27th Aug 2019		Vinyl Album Leo Kottke - 6 & 12 String Guitar	The label on some copies have the word Stereo beneath the cat #.
wordnwot 20th Jun 2019		CD Album U2 - The Joshua Tree	Disk image Pic 1175712 came with my copy
wordnwot 14th Jun 2019		Vinyl Album The McCoys - Hang On Sloopy	Images 197442/197435 show EMI pressed labels Post Mar 1967 which took over from Philips. Original 1st release of Hang On Snoopy LP were on Philips from Nov 1965

wordnwot 23rd May 2019		Vinyl Album Chip Taylor - Gasoline	Paint dot Net 7079 has a bug, cannot save cropped image, reported to developer.
wordnwot 6th Apr 2019		Vinyl Album Various Artists - Flashback 1968	Concur, it's what a legacy album should epitomise.
wordnwot 5th Apr 2019		Vinyl Album Julie Driscoll - Brian Auger	- or about 42 Mars Bars, give or take a bite! (4d old money) Price of a Mars bar 2019 are 60p so the record would realistically cost £25.05 in today's money! Makes current new vinyl cost stack up quite well.
wordnwot 19th Feb 2019		CD Album ABBA - The Visitors	Itsy Bitsy little update....
wordnwot 9th Feb 2019		CD Album Steely Dan - Citizen	The set I have does not contain Jewel Cases. The CD's fit into black CD holders on the insides of the front and back covers. (pics 925090 - 925098) Jewel case & inserts are omitted. CD 2 label omits the track text Night By Night although it is included.
wordnwot 28th Jan 2019		Vinyl Album Spring - Spring	Lavish triple fold-out cover but Only 2000 copies were pressed up. Likely a triple foldout sleeve had to be specially ordered, how many to order to be made up, that would have been the question and on a certain budget? They probably matched the number of sleeves made with vinyls pressed and waited for it to be a big hit. Or they busted the budget on the extravagant sleeve.....Or...Maybe because the imprint was being wound up and a decision had been already made to cut costs thus limit the pressing? Anyway you look at it, this album is sublime a real treat to the ears. Get a copy if you can..... A real investment! Get One Of These....
wordnwot 22nd Jan 2019		Vinyl Album Tom Jones - Live In Las Vegas	This and it's stereo sibling SKL5032 I believe mark the last of the UK released UNBOXED Decca logo labels. LK 5035 and SKL 5035 Born To Take The Highway - Foggy Dew-O came with BOXED Decca logo labels
wordnwot 12th Jan 2019		Vinyl Album Shirley Bassey - Big Spender	Budget re-run of ........
wordnwot 10th Jan 2019		Vinyl Album Caravan - If I Could Do It All Over Again I'd Do It All Over You	First press cat no. SKL 5052 in line with other Stereo Decca releases from this period. First press with a misprinted sleeve ("If I Had To Do It" on the back cover), dark blue labels and SKL 5052. Then the Cat number was changed to SKL-R 5052. This is somewhat odd and way out of sequence with other Decca cat numbers of this period. There are transitional Sleeve SKL 5052 and Label SKL-R 5052 cat no. combinations out there. This release was just 4 Decca releases (cat no's) after the last Decca Stereo/Mono release. So This just missed the mono option by a smidge.
wordnwot 6th Jan 2019		Vinyl Album Aphrodite's Child - Best Of Aphrodite's Child	What dreadful Album cover artwork!
wordnwot 4th Jan 2019		Vinyl Album Shirley Bassey - Something Else	Last appearance of the Purple/Orange UA label.
wordnwot 4th Dec 2018		Vinyl Album Georgie Fame and The Harry South Big Band - Sound Venture	Project funded entirely by Georgie Fame.
wordnwot 10th Nov 2018		CD Album The Beatles - The Beatles	I've included my unique no. in my 1st comment, would those others contributing who own this kindly identify what their package numbers are. Be interesting to see the range of numbers, mIne from What Records.
wordnwot 8th Nov 2018		CD Album The Beatles - The Beatles	Fabulous clarity in this Giles Martin remix. Tops! No. 0105103
wordnwot 5th Sep 2018		Vinyl Album Various Artists - The Pajama Game	Added cover scans of a rare find - a Mint copy!
wordnwot 27th Aug 2018		Vinyl Album The Moody Blues - To Our Children's, Children's, Children	FocusB - TH4 Side 2 Candle of life is a minute shorter than the Album version, but on the made in UK for Dutch market release 6101 600 http://www.45cat.com/record/6101600nl we are treated to the full album version. Now that was nice of them:) They also use ZDR not XZDR as on their UK releases (except TH2/2 of course) for stereo. What was going on there?
wordnwot 27th Aug 2018		Vinyl Album The Moody Blues - To Our Children's, Children's, Children	Focus B - I stand corrected. I have every Threshold single TH1 through TH25, but did not re-check, I just checked and you are spot on, with TH2 side 2 alone is mono amongst singles. btw, (TH3 has a lovely wide stereo field). so all checked.
wordnwot 23rd Aug 2018		Vinyl Album The Moody Blues - To Our Children's, Children's, Children	Apart from an early Threshold singles TH 2 side 2, this Mono LP was 'It' as far as mono releases on Threshold. Decca made a decision to end concurrent mono/stereo versions, sometime April - May 1970 'ish. So this left a window from Nov 1969 when it 1st appeared through to April 1970. One would assume that there was only 1 batch pressed to cover demand and then that was the lot.
wordnwot 11th Aug 2018		Vinyl Album The Rolling Stones - It's Only Rock 'N Roll	My inner sleeve has the Luxury time added 5.02
wordnwot 10th Aug 2018		Vinyl Album Nazareth - Loud 'n' Proud	Album Cover track titles A2 - Not Faking It, Label - Not Fakin' it
wordnwot 8th Aug 2018		Vinyl Album Ralph McTell - Not Till Tomorrow	Just checked matrix on my copy, A3/B3. Matrix run-out message A3 McTell, It How It is - Bobil My A3/B3 labels have different fonts, narrower spacing yet thicker and enboldened and the edging text is missing the WB logo at the end at 2pm Uploaded scans and pg3 of lyric sheet (illegible almost for reading.)
wordnwot 14th Jun 2018		Vinyl Album Colosseum - Those Who Are About To Die Salute You	Colosseum founder passes away: Jon Hiseman, passed away on June 12 after a battle with brain cancer at the age of 73...

wordnwot 14th Jun 2018		Vinyl Album Ashton, Gardner And Dyke - Ashton, Gardner And Dyke	Rare single off this album
wordnwot 25th May 2018		CD Album Santana - Abraxas	These Disks can be recorded on PC, using VLC and sending the output to recorder software like Goldwave.
wordnwot 20th May 2018		Vinyl Album The Zombies - Odessey And Oracle	I thought I'd check the difference between the mono and stereo versions of Care of Cell 44 and I was stunned to see that the mono version (supposedly the original mix) is 45 secs shorter than the stereo mix, the tracks remain largely the same until about 2.40 secs in when things start to alter radically, with the mono finishing at 3.07 and the stereo (with added repeating verses) finishing at 3.53 approx. Worth checking out if you have the time! Obviously, I have too much time, but hey, aren't we all nerdy somehow being part of this website. (see image 1661421)
