Most of my stuff bought from 76 on, mainly in Düsseldorf and Cologne (not to forget shopping trips to London regularly between 76 and mid 80s. Hence lots of R&T Xchange stickers). Not really a collection, just an accumulation of records that reflects the moods of the times and varying tastes. I now live in Vienna, Austria. Many of the lot are heavily abused by occasional djaying (and lots of cat abuse over a couple of years). I also admit to adding the odd 45 on which I worked myself in one way or the other.
Added later (1979+) images, cover is more glossy, embossed \\' on back (highlighted for clarity), French price code, and labels have different rim text incl. \\'. For side 1 they used a Tonstudio Pfanz cut, side 2 still the MELYS.
Added blue Columbia label variant, the (P) years all to the left, not split, no tax code visible. Strange the earlier b side label has "MT" visible, which according to my only source on discogs was only valid from Jan to Jun 1963? Printers code on mine is 6507, but company inner as on 45spaces points to a 67 packaging (but this may have been changed by previous owners anytime)
