bobzyeruncle 27th Jun 2014		Cassette Album Bon Jovi - Slippery When Wet (1986)	They were 'sonically welded', I was told ages ago. Not that the person who told me had any notion as to what that meant either. :laugh:
bobzyeruncle 8th Jun 2014		Cassette Album Herman's Hermits - No Milk Today (1988)	With the offer of a fake passport and a pink accordion, who can refuse? :laugh:
bobzyeruncle 8th Jun 2014		Cassette Album Creedence Clearwater Revival - Pendulum Vol. 2	Since vol.2 seems close to the original single LP tracklisting, what was on vol. 1?
bobzyeruncle 28th May 2014		Cassette Album Blood, Sweat And Tears - Greatest Hits (1972)	Wrong group, but you're on the right track.
bobzyeruncle 16th May 2014		Cassette Album ABBA - Greatest Hits	The niche market here were bored secretaries who wanted to hear something else besides their bosses droning endlessly on the dictation machine?
bobzyeruncle 14th May 2014		Cassette Album Rolf Harris - All Together Now! (1982)	Inward groan of acknowledgement over the title of track 7.
bobzyeruncle 11th May 2014		Reel-to-Reel Hamburg Pro Musica - Tchaikovsky's Nutcracker Suite	Fascinating page, mlgh224. Cheers!
bobzyeruncle 11th May 2014		Reel-to-Reel Hamburg Pro Musica - Tchaikovsky's Nutcracker Suite	Wondering why they didn't use British tape for this.
bobzyeruncle 4th May 2014		Cassette Album Ramones - Ramones (1978)	Sire changed distribution from Polygram to WEA circa 1978, so it's likely a re-issue.
bobzyeruncle 4th May 2014		Cassette Album [no artist listed] - Coldseal Jingles 6 Compilation	Brilliant! I collect stuff like this on vinyl, but haven't seen any pop up on cassette until now.
bobzyeruncle 2nd May 2014		Cassette Album Various Artists - Top Of The Pops 60s (1996)	I take it, this gets soggy in milk.
bobzyeruncle 1st May 2014		Cassette Album Peter Cook And Dudley Moore - Comic Relief And PG Tips Presents An Evening With Peter Cook And Dudley Moore And E.L. Wisty (1995)	Anyone hoping for Derek & Clive in their packet of tea would have been sorely disappointed! :laugh:
bobzyeruncle 21st Apr 2014		Reel-to-Reel Shelly Manne And His Friends - My Fair Lady (1957)	The LP version released shortly after was one of the first stereo LPs produced in the U.S.
bobzyeruncle 9th Apr 2014		Cassette Album Various Artists - Motown Gold Vol. 1 (1975)	Marvellous! :thumbsup: You haven't lived until you've heard them sing "You Can't Hurry Love" in Italian, tho'. You'll be muttering "tutti" for weeks afterward.
bobzyeruncle 9th Apr 2014		8-Track Gilbert Bécaud - A Little Love And Understanding (1976)	How did he end up on Decca? :shocked:
bobzyeruncle 2nd Apr 2014		Cassette Album ABBA - ABBA Live (1986)	Not sure about it being released on CD, but 1986 wouldn't have been too early for it. If memory serves, "The Visitors" was the very first pop CD released.
bobzyeruncle 30th Mar 2014		Cassette Album The Beatles - Revolver (1972)	[Quote: YankeeDisc] " an inlay card with a random tea stain gets it own separate submission - I kid you not, similar faux pas have happened." Only if it's Fortnum & Mason tea. In that case, the possibility of The Prince Of Wales being the previous owner could be hinted at by the seller. :laugh:
bobzyeruncle 26th Mar 2014		Cassette Single Pretenders - Message Of Love / Porcelain (1981)	My cassette deck found this one irresistibly delicious on only the second play. Probably the reason this is the only WEA cassette single I ever bought!
bobzyeruncle 26th Mar 2014		Cassette Album The Beatles - With The Beatles	On the CD it lists the writers as Dobbin-Garrett-Garman-Brianbert giving no mention of Brian Holland at all. I''m going to see if wikipedia can shed light on this. Watch this space! :laugh: EDIT: And here it is ladies and gentlephones!
bobzyeruncle 26th Mar 2014		Cassette Album The Beatles - With The Beatles	Nearly! They left Georgia Dobbins, William Garrett, and Robert Bateman off the credits.
bobzyeruncle 26th Mar 2014		Cassette Single Led Zeppelin - Side 1 Good Times Bad Times / Dazed And Confused	Officially the coolest thing I've seen for the last nine years! :happy:
bobzyeruncle 25th Mar 2014		Cassette Single Reds United - There's Only One United (7" Mix) / Glory, Glory (12" Mix) (1997)	If anybody can spare a copy of this, my coffee table is a bit wonky and I've been looking for something to sort it out with.
bobzyeruncle 25th Mar 2014		Cassette Album The Beatles - 20 Hits (1983)	I wonder if Alan Williams' ownership of Lingasong was what provoked the Beatles to take legal action. Old grudges die hard, sometimes.
bobzyeruncle 25th Mar 2014		8-Track [no artist listed] - Top Of The Pops Volume 65 (1978)	Cheers TopPopper & Orbiting Cat! (I Think?) "Heathcliff, why are you running away?!" :laugh:
bobzyeruncle 21st Mar 2014		8-Track [no artist listed] - Top Of The Pops Volume 65 (1978)	How's the version of Wuthering Heights?
bobzyeruncle 21st Mar 2014		Cassette Album Boston Symphony Orchestra - Brahms Symphony No.4 In E Minor, Op.98 (1965)	Release on vinyl/reel-to-reel was circa 1965, but this cassette was issued over a decade later.
bobzyeruncle 20th Mar 2014		Reel-to-Reel The Beatles - Please Please Me (1963)	Could be, now that I think of it.
bobzyeruncle 19th Mar 2014		Reel-to-Reel The Beatles - Please Please Me (1963)	I seem to remember reading somewhere that there were 3" versions at 3 3/4 ips and 7" reels that ran at 7 1/2.
bobzyeruncle 19th Mar 2014		Reel-to-Reel Various Artists - Stereo Demonstration Tape	The (gloriously multi-coloured!) vinyl release of this was one of the very first 'modern' stereo LP's in the US.
bobzyeruncle 19th Mar 2014		Cassette Album Ken Dodd - 20 Golden Greats (1980)	Fascinating fact! Genesis' "I Know What I Like In Your Wardrobe" was initially inspired by Ken's suit in the J card photo! :laugh:
