YankeeDisc SUBS 3rd Apr 2024		Vinyl Album The Stylistics - Heavy	Thanks to BigBadBluesMan for posting the video for Track A4 - The Stylistics - Heavy Fallin' Out
YankeeDisc SUBS 1st Apr 2024		CD Album Prince - The Very Best Of Prince	*Little Red Corvette* - track 3 [YouTube Video] …..l bought a VG used copy of this CD, ‘cept mine is an Australian issue, with barcode 9 325583 010613. should I make a new entry? My copy jumps slightly on track 3 (LCR) which is 4:58 timing, so I’ve posted the video single version from his official YouTube channel, 3:09…..enjoy.
YankeeDisc SUBS 15th Mar 2024		Vinyl Album Mel Tormé - Right Now!	*Comin’ Home Baby* - 1966 re-recording Track A1 [YouTube Video] ….doesn’t have the same verve as the 1962 original had out of the traps…..
YankeeDisc SUBS 23rd Feb 2024		Vinyl Album Lou Rawls - Soulin'	….better late than never…. Quote: 6702 TPS Printed and made by Garrod & Lofthouse Ltd. Patents Pending T 2566 ST 2566 TPS appears regularly at the bottom of LP sleeves, and maybe EP sleeves as well. It is the acronym for THE PLATING SERVICE, a company that prepared the Lacquers from the master tapes of a release, and then the mothers and stampers used when vinyl was finally being pressed for commercial release. I found the information a few years back by accident whilst using Discogs…. Nod to PhiMH
YankeeDisc SUBS 9th Dec 2023		Vinyl Album The Beatles - With The Beatles	……60 years gone by since this release on 22-Nov-1963. My twin sister bought the mono UK LP 32/6d? with money she earned as a school girl Saturday employee at Jones & Higgins Department Store, of Rye Lane, Peckham, London, (now long gone). Considering that she only earned £1.00d pre-decimal for her one day a week job, in Nov/Dec 1963 when she purchased the album, she actually expended over one and a half weeks wages to own this release. She was like many other 15 years old females a big fan of The Beatles, and her crush was George Harrison. She probably bought the LP during her lunch break from the Reed Record Centre, situated further up Rye Lane, before taking her acquisition back to her Department “Prams & Layettes”. When she arrived home, our younger brother and l were eager to listen to her LP, the very first long player bought by any member of our family of six, including Mater and Pater. Previously we had about 4 EPs and a dozen 45s…..soon to change. We literally played that Beatles LP to death, and early on I noticed that Side B track one “Roll Over Beethoven” jumped in a couple of places. All other songs seemed okay. My sister took it back, and exchanged for another copy, by that jumped as well, so she kept that and got on with it. Have any other owners of the original 1963 mono Issue PMC 1206 had issues with that particular track ROLL OVER BEETHOVEN??
YankeeDisc SUBS 16th Nov 2023		Cinema The Second Woman (La Segunda Mujer ) (1950)	Also known by the title Ellen.
YankeeDisc SUBS 13th Nov 2023		Vinyl Album Bob Dylan - Hard Rain	*Shelter From The Storm* - 5:24 [YouTube Video] …..back in 1976, I promised my twin sister that I would record a mix-tape (cassette) of Bob Dylan songs for her to play at home whilst ironing or such. She had seen Dylan live at the Royal Albert Hall venue in 1966….I did not attend. I got a new C-60 cassette and put together a playlist of tunes from my own collection plus a couple of LP’s I borrowed from work including this release. I included ‘Love Minus Zero / No Limit’, Like A Rolling Stone’, ‘Positively 4th Street, ‘Mr Tambourine Man’, ‘Hurricane’, ‘Subterranean Homesick Blues’, ‘It's All Over Now Baby Blue’, ‘It Ain't Me Babe’, ‘A Hard Rain's A-Gonna Fall, a couple others I do not recall, and ‘Shelter From The Storm’. I gave the mixtape the title “ZIMMERMAN RIDES AGAIN” and delivered the tape to her, she was pleased. Some years later, I was giving her a lift in my car, and she produced the cassette and asked me to play it on my cassette/radio, and added ‘keep it’ as she no longer had a cassette player. I did play it, and couldn’t for the life of me remember why the track Shelter From The Storm was on this tape. Years later (2010) I watched a US tv series called FLASHFORWARD 786936801743 and at the end of an episode on a TV screen was an image of Bob Dylan playing live this song from the 1976 concert…..so here it is, I thought that Bobby did good, and he looked like he was enjoying hisself…..
YankeeDisc SUBS 13th Nov 2023		TV Dixon Of Dock Green (1955 - 1976)	Noel Cronin, the man behind Talking Pictures TV channel, has a short show-reel programme where he previews upcoming shows that are coming to his channel, and he admitted that after much wrangling with the BBC, he has secured for showing around Christmas time 2023….. Dixon of Dock Green. Only 32 episodes (or was it 37?), the rest have been wiped……
YankeeDisc SUBS 12th Nov 2023		12" Single The Beach Boys - Here Comes The Night	as they say, better late than never….. To answer a request set by Ziggy72 18th March 2021, ST-1 is Stage One Records, who I believe was an importer and exporter of vinyl products back in 1979. The MCPS royalty sticker priced at 5p was supposed to be affixed to singles imported mainly from US to UK, and of course a 12” Disco record was technically a single, while LP’s and equivalent length cassettes and 8-track tapes attracted a 25p MCPS royalty sticker. From an earlier post of mine…. “ Other royalty stamp codes actually printed on labels I think I remember were:- DE - Disc Empire Ltd REC - Record Corner, Balham CIT - City Sounds, Proctor Street, W.1. WIN - Windsong Music Virgin - self explanatory FOX - Mr Fox, Croydon, maybe incorrect. ST-1 - Stage One Records”
YankeeDisc SUBS 8th Nov 2023		78 RPM Hedley Ward Trio - Rock Around The Clock / Who Dat Up Dere	Review *Rock Around The Clock* cool, man, cool….. Never heard this before, what with Bill Haley & His Comets original version? being imprinted in my brain for many a long year. …..for some reason the YouTube link box has not appeared, so I cannot direct link to the video…..maybe later. The link box has now appeared (weird that!), but KeithS has kindly linked the YouTube video, so I’ve deleted my earlier link….well done, that man!….. 1 person found this review helpful. ✔︎ Helpful Review?
YankeeDisc SUBS 8th Nov 2023		TV Burke's Law [1963] (1963 - 1965)	….I was up early, and watched series 1, episode 1 out of interest, with eleven guest stars (TalkingPictures 0600-0700hrs, Wed 08-Nov-2023, UK, check listings) Episode 1, Series 1”Who Killed Holly Howard” first aired Fri 20-Sep-1963 in US, I presume. Guest Stars listed as per IMDb The following all received 'Special Guest Stars In Alphabetical Order' credits Elizabeth Allen, William Bendix, Bruce Cabot, Rod Cameron, Fred Clark, Jay C. Flippen, Cedric Hardwicke (as Sir Cedric Hardwicke), Stephen McNally, Suzy Parker, Zasu Pitts and Will Rogers Jr.. This was Zasu Pitt’s last appearance as she had died three months before this episode aired. I was a lively fifteen year old when this aired in US, and being in London, England the show must have been aired on either BBC or ITV as there were no other channels available at that time, just the two, so I’m guessing at ITV unless anyone knows better. Later episodes had an average of six guest stars.
YankeeDisc SUBS 4th Nov 2023		Cassette Album Roxy Music - Manifesto	I was gifted a later version of this release. Reissue chrome tape CRO2 & Dolby noise reduction cat.# EGMC 38 (E.G. Records Ltd. Marketed by Virgin) Direct printing onto cassette shell. Barcode 5 012985 303842 I will submit a new entry, eventually….
YankeeDisc SUBS 20th Oct 2023		12" Single Fat Larry's Band - Straight From The Heart (Remix)	*Straight From The Heart* - remix 6:34 [YouTube Video] ….always liked this melodic track that joyously bounces along. RIP "Fat" Larry James (August 2, 1949 – December 5, 1987)
YankeeDisc SUBS 20th Oct 2023		TV An Audience With Freddie Starr (1996)	…..lovely screenshot of the late Dale Winton giggling away. I recognise the actress on Dale’s left, but the name…?
YankeeDisc SUBS 20th Oct 2023		TV Ensign O'Toole (1962 - 1963)	…….currently showing on UK TalkingPics Freeview channel (check provider). Monochrome 1963, aired Thursdays weekly at 0600-0630hrs
YankeeDisc SUBS 19th Sep 2023		Vinyl Album Flamin' Groovies - Shake Some Action	FYI the car on the cover is not a Jag-WAAR, as our US cousins call them, it’s a Daimler Sovereign sedan/saloon available with 2.8 or 4.2 litre straight six engines, or a 5.3 litre V12 engine. It’s hard to tell from the front view, but a 2-door pillarless Coupe was also available with the same engines as the sedan. I checked the number plate, and that car is long gone (scrapped), and they were in essence ‘badge engineered’ Jaguars. I used to own a ‘real’ Daimler many moons ago, before Jaguar bought Daimler.
YankeeDisc SUBS 18th Sep 2023		Vinyl Album James Mason - Stars On Sunday	(John 11:35; Luke 19:41; Hebrews 5:7-9) JESUS WEPT……..
YankeeDisc SUBS 13th Sep 2023		12" Single One Way Featuring Al Hudson - Music	*One Way feat. Al Hudson* - Music - full 12” version [YouTube Video] …..relentless bass-line with choppy guitar breaks topped off with Al and his buddies (boys and girls) on the one……..
YankeeDisc SUBS 10th Sep 2023		Vinyl Album [no artist listed] - The Big Sounds Of The Drags!	I own a U.S. copy (T2001), imported by me around 1978, a MONO copy as the Canadian issue. I will eventually make a listing for my US copy, and the Stereo version ST2001.
YankeeDisc SUBS 31st Aug 2023		Cinema The Snow Walker (2003)	The Snow Walker - *movie trailer* [YouTube Video] The video posted below will NOT play in UK
YankeeDisc SUBS 31st Aug 2023		Cinema 2 Guns (2013)	Review Two of my second tier favourite actors come together in a spirited romp “good guys vs. Bad Guys”, except the two good guys Bobby (Denzel Washington) an undercover DEA agent, and Stig (Mark Wahlberg) a covert U.S. Navy Petty Officer are also bad guys, robbing Banks, torching cars and restaurants and killing people, whilst also attempting to murder each other. Practically a comedy, but with darker overtones and action throughout, the best line in the film is when African-American Bobby turns to caucasian Stig and says….. ….Don’t get all “We Are the World” on me…!!

YankeeDisc SUBS 27th Aug 2023		TV Thunderbirds (1965 - 1966)	Whole series to be shown in UK on TalkingPictures channel (check listings), starting Saturday 02-Sep-2023 with episode S1 E1 “Trapped in the Sky”……..FAB!!…..

YankeeDisc SUBS 2nd Oct 2021		Cinema Demetrius And The Gladiators (1954)	*Demetrius And The Gladiators* - movie trailers [YouTube Video] [YouTube Video] ....Victor Mature in all his pomp. The first trailer with on screen titles mentions 'CinemaScope' and STEREOPHONIC SOUND'. I was not aware the stereo sound was available in 1954..... and the voice-over sounds very like Robert Taylor, film star....
YankeeDisc SUBS 16th Aug 2021		CD Album Marillion - Misplaced Childhood	Whilst going through a pile of old newspapers I found a Daily Mail dated Friday 19-Sep-2008, with the offer of the above CD. I bought the newspaper and got the CD, the paper cost me 50p (96 pages) and the two front headlines were "CRACKDOWN ON TRADER SHARKS" and "anger of two mothers as girl stabbed by mental patient fights for life". I also have (but not for long) Daily Mail dated Thursday 18-Sep-2008, with the offer of a free copy of Heaven 17 - The Luxury Gap CD, which I obtained. I link that original CD release CDV 2253, but the Daily Mail free version CD is not on the database as yet.
YankeeDisc SUBS 4th Aug 2021		Cinema Morituri	*Morituri* - theatrical trailer 3:09 [YouTube Video] ...a film I thought I had seen, but no......so it goes on my wishlist.
