sunrocker 14th Jul 2022		Vinyl Album Elvis Presley - A Date With Elvis	The sun recordings on this album have much more delay than on the previous RCA issues. Why did they remix them again? I guess we will never know.
sunrocker 14th Jul 2022		Vinyl Album The Beach Boys - The Beach Boys' Christmas Album	Release date is later than 1964 in Germany. The mother company Carl Lindström changed their cat.-no. from 84 xxx to 74 xxx in 1966, this was for all sub labels like Electrola, Columbia, Odeon, Capitol. All records that had an old cat.-no. like 83 xxx or 84 xxx became the new 73 xxx or 74 xxx number now. This album here was issued with the SMK 74 310 cat.-no. ONLY - no earlier pressing with the old number combination exists, so it was issued 2 years later in 1966.
sunrocker 14th Jul 2022		Vinyl Album Various Artists - Cole Porter's Can-Can	The shown pressing (1849338 / 1849341 / 1849342 / 1849343) is from 1964 or later. The EMI Logo is on the cover and the Stereo sticker is printed with a yellow background. Older pressing habe a real stripe sticker in gold/black. And a pressing from 1960 would have a round Stereo sticker.
sunrocker 14th Jul 2022		Vinyl Album The Beach Boys - Surfin´USA	Interesting, that the second album was released in Germany with the older round Stereo-Sticker and the first album has the slighty newer stripe Stereo Sticker. I would guess that the first album was issued after the second in Germany. The EMI Logo isn't on the cover, so it's still an early pressing.
sunrocker 11th Apr 2022		Vinyl Album The Drifters - Save The Last Dance For Me	Atlantic was in the hands of Teldec (mother company of London Records in Germany) until 1959, after that Metronome Records had the rights on Atlantic. The Atlantic Special Series was a budget line with older material, so this LP wasn't pressed in 1962, I would guess sometimes in the mid to late 60s.
