melle51 ● 18 minutes ago		Nina Simone I Put A Spell On You	BB Mar 20, 1965, page 34
johnnyhotspur ● 20 minutes ago		Prince Buster The Original Golden Oldies Vol. 1	This album also came out on Fab (MS 6) during 1968 as Tutti Frutti
Focus B 28 minutes ago		Various Artists The Akron Compilation	My copy must be a later pressing, as it doesn't have the scratch and sniff sleeve.
Madame Streggae 3 hours ago		Various Artists 15 Oldies But Goodies	Many many years since I played my copy - I think track B6 is more properly titled 'Sercy [Cerasee] Tea'. B3 is an odd one to include as it's Rock Steady, which goes against the grain of the rest of the tracks.
Fokeman ● 4 hours ago		Na Fili And Seán O'Sé One Day For Recreation	Upon further research, this is not the only Circa record which was also issued by Talisman. Note all the 8000 series were specifically Irish issues whereas the 1000 series were issued from the UK. The Talisman issued sleeve dates from about 1984 where the LP was actually pressed in 1978. Perhaps Talisman bought up the stock and then issued the sleeveless vinyl with their own sleeves, thus creating a cut and shut issue.
dr.pepper1952 14 hours ago		Eddie Rabbitt Radio Romance	add Cover and Label
dr.pepper1952 14 hours ago		The Seekers The Seekers Again	add better Scan and Labels
Smokingmixture 15 hours ago		Love Sculpture Forms And Feelings	Press shortly before November 9, 1969. But released to the British public until February 1970, due to legal issues with the Holsts. March 7, 1970 MM Feb 26, 1970 Runcorn Weekly News Feb 20, 1970 The Motherwell Times Contrary to popular belief. Without taking into account its original niche in the printing. Its launch is later than the American edition dated January 1970.
Manpoole 17 hours ago		Joe Loss And His Orchestra Dancing Time For Dancers Number Three	Bad listing with loads of information missing A1 - Quick-Step - Jerome Kern Medley (The way you look tonight; Smoke gets in your eyes; Ol' ManRiver) Chappell, Bosworth. BIEM/NCB. A2 - Waltz - The Sleeping Prince Waltz (you were love) (From "The Sleeping Prince") (Ellis) Chappel. A3 - Samba - Chiquita Bacana (de Barro-Ribeiro) Peter Maurice. BIEM.

johnnyhotspur ● 18 hours ago		Various Artists 15 Oldies But Goodies	Just added. All of these tracks got a UK Blue Beat 45 release except track B3 which was released on Fab as Fitzroy D. Long
Madame Streggae 18 hours ago		Various Artists Tighten Up Vol. 6	Always interesting to try and work out why certain tracks were selected for these compilations. Track B5 was actually the B side of Jackie's cover of Billy Stewart's 'I Do Love You', so was it chosen so that Jackie would get some royalties out of what was his original composition? Track B6 was two years old by the time this comp came out, so why include it? It was a commercial offering certainly not out of step with `72 but nobody barely seems to remember it when there were much bigger Reggae 45s from that year on the company's various labels. The other explanation of course is that Trojan may have made a commitment to the producers on its roster that x amount of their singles would be included on the company's comps. Track A5 is actually by Carey and Lloyd.
Madame Streggae 2nd Mar 2025		Toots And The Maytals In The Dark	I think this needs a separate entry for the release on the Dragon label, which is how it came in 1974/75 together with an inner sleeve advertising a competition to win a holiday to Jamaica (I wonder if anybody ever won as Trojan had gone into liquidation at about the time the winners were to be announced). I can only guess that when Marcel Rodd bought out Trojan copies were then pressed with a Trojan label using the same Dragon catalogue number and left over Dragon sleeves, which appears to be right going by the image pictured here.
Madame Streggae 2nd Mar 2025		Prince Buster Dance Cleopatra	Played this yesterday and in the many intervening years since I listened to 'On Tour' had completely forgotten how Buster changed some of the lyrics to suit a UK centric audience. So we have 'fish and chips and a cup a tea' on 'Take It Easy'! Would love to know who the backing singers are - probably lost to time but think they sound pretty good.
Madame Streggae 2nd Mar 2025		[no artist listed] This Is Soul	Based on the two tracks I'm hearing here, the emphasis is on jazz rather than soul. But hey, that would have been a much more difficult marketing angle. I do check some of these budget price comps where I'm sometimes surprised by how the do-overs can add a bit of a different dimension to the original, and in a positive way.
johnnyhotspur ● 2nd Mar 2025		[no artist listed] This Is Soul	'Keep Soul' [YouTube Video]
johnnyhotspur ● 2nd Mar 2025		[no artist listed] This Is Soul	'Special Request' [YouTube Video]
johnnyhotspur ● 2nd Mar 2025		[no artist listed] This Is Soul	The instrumental tracks A2, A5, B2 and B5 are by 'Grischa Batanoff & His Orchestra'.
johnnyhotspur ● 2nd Mar 2025		Various Artists Original Golden Oldies Vol. 2	Added this Jamaican reissue copy which sits in my collection. Sleeve is more of an orange colour non laminated whereas the UK sleeve looks 'redder' and laminated. Track A6 is actually by 'The Movers'. The 1967 date on the label looks like an afterthought?
edlongus SUBS 2nd Mar 2025		Senator Edward M. Kennedy Profiles In Courage By John F. Kennedy	[YouTube Video] [YouTube Video] [YouTube Video] [YouTube Video] [YouTube Video] [YouTube Video] [YouTube Video]
dr.pepper1952 2nd Mar 2025		Various Artists Rockwork	add Booklet
edlongus SUBS 2nd Mar 2025		Various Artists Echoes Of A Rock Era - The Groups: The Heartbeats - Shep And The Limelites	Label variant scans added. Question: When Roulette Records prints the word 'STEREO' on their record labels: Do they know what this word means?!? [YouTube Video] [YouTube Video]
concaveman 1st Mar 2025		Hamburg Philharmonia Orchestra Symphony For Glenn (A Tribute To Glenn Miller)	Back cover and variant labels added.
Hawkmarty SUBS 1st Mar 2025		Joyce Hatto / London Variety Theatre Orchestra Music From The Films	Thanks sheepdip1234. I only had the disc, rescued before being binned. Didn't realise those little lists were the composers, thought they were the publishers.
Madame Streggae 1st Mar 2025		The Drifters I'll Take You Where The Music's Playing	My non-flip back copy has a sticker covering the 587061 number on the rear with the Atlantic logo saying 'K40009 - this record is available in mono only'. I may need to get out more but this is the first one I've seen.
johnnyhotspur ● 1st Mar 2025		Prince Buster The Original Golden Oldies Vol. 1	Just added. UK reissue Track A6 'Praise Without Raise' not listed on label Track B3 'Believe Kill And Cure' not listed on label Note: I've somehow mixed up A + B sides. All A sides should be B sides, all B sides should be A sides (see labels for correct sides). Doh! mod edit: de-dohd!
Madame Streggae 1st Mar 2025		The Maytals Original Golden Oldies Vol. III	One I don't have, although it'd be the UK press I'd want despite the JA press probably being easier to track down. I imagine the UK wouldn't have done much business - the two volumes of the Buster Original Golden Oldies fell into my hands easy enough back in the 80s but I don't think I ever saw this one.
Gian_paolo 1st Mar 2025		Poet And The One Man Band Poet And The One Man Band	It looks it was reissued (legally?) by the usual Korean/Japanese companies. What's more intriguing is a digital YouTube release from 2014, which omits some tracks but introduces 5 never heard before tracks, check this playlist
johnnyhotspur ● 1st Mar 2025		The Maytals Original Golden Oldies Vol. III	Just added. I've put label scans the wrong way around, sorry, can a mod please amend. mod edit: we can. Track B4 'Goodbye Jane' not listed on cover or label.
