Neil Young - On The Beach		ady_lister

In Australia, in the 60s and 70s, the manufacturing of records was pretty pathetic. Thin flimsy covers and never a gatefold for any artist (well rarely). The price of an album was $5.50. The manufacturing cost to make a gatefold? A measly 20 cents. So they invariable said 'no' and we went without. However, when On The Beach was released here, they made it a gatefold! (no gatefolds for Neil's first three albums, but this one they do. Gives you an idea of the thinking, well, lack of, that held sway out here.

Eric Clapton - Eric Clapton		Yes, I bought this album in Oz the day it was released and the tracks are flipped on the Aussie one.

Not only that, after about 45 seconds into 'Slunky' the balance changes radically and for the remainder of the album volume is about 25% left channel - 100% right channel. (or vice versa).

BTW, the version shown here is a later RSO pressing. The original was Polydor

Frank Sinatra - In The Wee Small Hours		I'm pretty sure the release date for this 12" is the same as the 10" and the 7" EPs. All released on the 25th April 1955. Not 1956
