6338041 25th Feb 2024		Vinyl Album Louis Armstrong - Hello, Dolly! This Is Louis Armstrong And The All Stars (1964)	Flip back cover dates it to pre 1969, not 1984.
6338041 10th Nov 2019		Vinyl Album David Bowie - The Thin White Duke (1977)	The plain white rear was first.
6338041 20th Aug 2019		Vinyl Album David Bowie - Diamond Dogs (1974)	Tracklisting with first track as "Future Legend / Betwitched" is from the second edition. The first only listed "Future Legend".
6338041 2nd May 2019		Vinyl Album Dean Martin - Swingin' Down Yonder	This is the mid 1960's reissue, Encore series.
6338041 4th Sep 2018		Vinyl Album Nilsson - Nilsson Schmilsson (1971)	Does anyone have the more common cover with the enlarged lettering on the front cover? Often this cover also has a "RE" on the front as well, indicating there's been a change.
6338041 25th Nov 2017		Vinyl Album David Bowie - Hunky Dory (1972)	Canadian discs for the Canadian market use the Canadian catalogue number - LSP 4623 Canadian discs for the UK market use the UK catalogue number - SF 8244.
6338041 25th Nov 2017		Vinyl Album David Bowie - Hunky Dory (1971)	At some point after initial release Canadian manufactured discs were used to supply the UK market - some in UK covers, some not. These discs all have the UK catalogue number (SF 8244), the Canadian catalogue number LSP 4623 indicative of discs for the Canadian market.
6338041 25th Nov 2017		Vinyl Album Nilsson - Aerial Ballet (1968)	The three stages of the US Lp can be found: First pressing - Daddy's Song on cover and labels (LSP 3956) Revised pressing (issued in first press covers) - Daddy's Song on cover , but not on labels or on disc Revised cover - no mention of Daddy's Song. (LSP 3956 RE). As Beatlejohn says labels do no show RE. It might be wise to switch the position of the catalogue number on this so it reads LSP 3956 RE / LSP 3956 so it's more obvious.
6338041 1st Nov 2017		Vinyl Album David Bowie - The Man Who Sold The World	Responding to below comment: Me? The jury is still out but (1) why would a counterfeiter, seeking to replicate something, move the positioning of the text-bubble on the back? (2) but hang on, why would Mercury have made an amended version with this change? It is unknown how the counterfeit rear cover was prepared - if it was a single scan or photograph then there would be no reason for the text bubble (oh by jingo) to be moved. If it was prepared from a couple of parts put together (for whatever reason), then the shift would occur from either oversight or necessity. In any event, the black outline definition is severely degraded, indicating that it is a copy of a printed edition, rather than artwork separations. Side by side this is unmissable. That the color is solid blocked (as it's a cartoon), rather than continuous toning (like a photograph), works in the counterfeit's favour - it is far easier to reproduce a solid block of color than a scanned four color print. The moire effect, and/or the printer's dots would show up. (3) would Mercury have issued a version with a skip? (4) but hang on, it's not unheard of for official records to be issued with a skip either (and then maybe recalled... or not...) Early counterfeits do not skip. They are noisy, do not have a silent background (like the official pressing has) and are taken from an inferior source. This is evident when played one after the other. As more were pressed, the plates became worn, to the extent that a skip is heard on "All the Madmen". PS. do you have a link to the comment you referred to?
