	Magic Marmalade If you're not lost... It's not an adventure! Member since Jun 2014 3747 Points Moderator	A couple of corrections to be made before the day's observations: Botht the Motorhead : On Parole album, and The Hawkiwind: Masters Of the Universe (Not Road Hawks, as I may have said peviously - It's the heat getting to me!) albums... each issued twice on Fame, have the same track listngs and timings on bioth issues of each to their differently catted counterparts on Fame (Shows you shouldn't take people's word for it online!)... so same albums in both cases.... just different cats (don't know why!). Secondly, I had thought the same labels had been submitted twice for The Beatles: A Collection of Beatles Oldies... but closer inspection reveals one significant difference: One has red rim text on the label, the other black rim text.... which shows that a change was made during the light brown red grid labels (which is odd, as later plain labels revert to red rim text!). All submissions on the first page of the Fame discography have light brown red grid labels, with red rim text, and are in un-barcoded sleeves. Which brings me to a question perhaps someone can answer: When did Barcodes first appear on vinyl sleeves, and when, in particular, on EMI sleeves? This could be significant in helping withsome dates, as a few of the light brown red grid labels, which have the addition of the source label logo, appear in un-barcoded sleeves.
