CorporalClegg 5th Mar 2024		CD Album The Move - Something Else From The Move (2016)	An absolute necessity for any Move fan, casual or hardcore; the energy and power in these performances feels like (if you'll pardon the joke) a brontosaurus storming right over you and is probably one of the greatest live documents I've ever heard. The remaster is fabulous: some of the original technical flaws marring the tapes (electrical hums, vocal mic volumes) are still audible but in no way detract from the recordings and the sound is incredibly sharp and clear. An incredible live document and probably one of the best "lost" finds to get reissued since Roy Wood's Main Street album finally saw the light of day. Cannot recommend this one enough! (My ONLY gripe is the liner notes seem to be inconsistent on recording dates, with the original "Somethin' Else" track cited as being recorded at the February 27th show while citing the EP version as being recorded at the May 5th show. It sounds like the same performance with a new vocal overdub to me, and I'd imagine was done at the first show.)
CorporalClegg 6th Feb 2024		CD Album Various Artists - Let's Copp A Groove! Lost UK Soul (2003)	Killer compilation! Cannot recommend this one enough. Plenty of soul, catchy melodies and excellent productions and all assembled into a fabulous set.
CorporalClegg 31st Oct 2023		CD Album Wizzard - Singles A's And B's (1999)	Briefly had this CD in college–a must to avoid! The sound mastering is way too loud, blowing everything out well into distorted territory; Repertoire always seems to have problems with that if they're not outright ripping straight from vinyl. A pity since this is the only CD attempting to compile all the Wizzard singles A's & B's all together instead of scattered across albums as bonus tracks (no doubt due to the hop from Harvest to Warner Brothers and Jet Records).
CorporalClegg 16th Sep 2022		CD Album Original Broadway Cast - Henry, Sweet Henry (1995)	I've reuploaded the booklet in individual pages to make them easier to read; mods feel free to hide my 2772606, 2772609 and 2772611 images.
CorporalClegg 2nd Mar 2022		CD Album Keith Moon - Two Sides Of The Moon (2006)	"Do Me Good" was actually written by Yellowstone & Voice who released it as a single.
CorporalClegg 23rd Feb 2022		CD Album Lieutenant Pigeon - The Best Of Lieutenant Pigeon (2001)	Despite what the booklet seems to sell you, these appear to be re-recorded versions.
CorporalClegg 23rd Feb 2022		CD Album The Who - Two's Missing (1987)	Notice that tracks 10 and 13 also incorrectly credit Townshend with writing them.
CorporalClegg 8th Jan 2022		CD Album The Troggs - The Singles As & Bs (2004)	Review As usual with Repertoire releases the quality's a little hit or miss here, tape hiss/mix issues, some tracks mastered too loud or distorted, or dubbed from vinyl ("Anyway That You Want Me" seems to suffer most from this, and was that one really that difficult to access the original tapes for?) but overall isn't too obtrusive and is a comprehensive collection of their singles. Nice batch of rarities and mid/later 70's stuff on here, plus including their rare solo singles, which does make this well worth tracking down for any Troggs fans, I just wish the audio quality were a little better. Still, I'd recommend it. 4 people found this review helpful. ✔︎ Helpful Review?
CorporalClegg 4th Nov 2021		CD Album Cass Elliot, Denny Doherty, John Phillips, Michelle Phillips - Before They Were The Mamas And The Papas... The Magic Circle (1999)	One of the few compilations to actually use the single version of Creeque Alley, rather than erroneously using the mono LP mix.
CorporalClegg 21st Oct 2021		CD Album Various Artists - The Land Of Sensations & Delights: The Psych Pop Sounds Of White Whale Records, 1965-1970 (2020)	Track 24 is actually a cover of George Tobin & Johnny Cymbal's "Sell Your Soul," presumably intended for a White Whale b-side.
CorporalClegg 17th Jan 2021		CD Album Various Artists - The Super K Kollection, Vol. 2 (1994)	Some notes: -"Ah La" originally came out under the Fighter Squadron name. -"Death of You" is actually Lt. Garcia's Magic Music Box's "Children In The Playground" with new lyrics and a new recording. According to Harry Boyle in an older interview, "Gung," "Sweetness" and "Wasted" were all by them too. -"Gung" apparently squeaked out on the Buddah distributed Team label as by The Legends (simply called "Gung Gung Gung"). -"Rain," "Sweetness," "Feelin' It" and a different recording of "Bingo" all came out on the French/German only final LP of the 1910 Fruitgum Company.
CorporalClegg 17th Jan 2021		CD Album Various Artists - The Super K Kollection, Vol. 1 (1994)	Some notes: -"Sister Honky Tonk" is actually "Rock 'n' Roll Sister" by Canyon; it was the b-side to "Overloaded," mistakenly credited to Octopus here. ("Sister Honky Tonk" was a song off K-K's Furr album on Magna Glide.) -"Take A Big Hit On The Jug" was off the Spencer Barefoot Magna Glide LP though appears to have been a leftover track not by him. -"Mama Lu" came out under the Kasenetz-Katz Super Cirkus name originally. Additionally, Harry Boyle of Lt. Garcia's claimed in an interview (now on a defunct site) that "Fever" and "House" were done by them. "Elevator Man" also sounds 80/90s recording rather than 60s.
CorporalClegg 19th Jul 2019		CD Album The Turtles - Wooden Head (1996)	Found out it was also done by the Roulettes and is credited to someone named Lambert.
CorporalClegg 24th Nov 2018		CD Album Cargoe - Cargoe+1 (2003)	How's the sound quality on this one? Japanese pressings like these seem to be hit or miss on if they're vinyl dubs or tape quality.
CorporalClegg 14th Oct 2018		CD Album Blue Cheer - BC#5 The Original Human Being (2007)	How good's the sound quality on this one?
CorporalClegg 24th Jul 2018		CD Album The Turtles - Wooden Head (1996)	"I Can't Stop" bore no songwriter credit on the original album for some reason, though BMI does list Kaylan as a writer. "Margaret" is incorrect though, that should be Ralph Dino and John Sembello.
