Ade Macrow 29th Apr 2024		Vinyl Album Kate Bush - The BBC Christmas Special 1979 (2024)	Correct front cover (with red sticker) uploaded. Please delete the other.
Ade Macrow 26th Jul 2023		Vinyl Album David Starr, Rose Sears, Frederick Clements - [unknown]	Gramatically, it should read 'Sung by...' not 'Sang'.
Ade Macrow 26th Jun 2023		Vinyl Album Paul McCartney And Wings - Band On The Run (1973)	Pics of band on back cover and labels in different order on UK/USA pressings. Added details to American back cover too. Hipgnosis having fun.
Ade Macrow 29th May 2023		Vinyl Album Fred Wedlock And Chris Newman - The Oldest Swinger In Town (1979)	Added 'handwritten' labels and different-coloured (black, not red) back cover detail.
Ade Macrow 20th May 2023		Vinyl Album Fred Wedlock - Frollicks (1973)	Added alternative labels. The all pink t-shirt cover also omits the 'Distribution by Transatlantic' and sleeve printers credits found at bottom of back cover on the white t-shirt version.
Ade Macrow 16th May 2023		Vinyl Album Fred Wedlock - Frollicks (1973)	Also with 'all pink' (pink t-shirt) front cover.
Ade Macrow 5th May 2023		Vinyl Album Carpenters - The Singles 1969-1973 (1974)	Despite listing the same time (3.04) as the original, We've Only Just Begun has a brief opening segment added.
Ade Macrow 14th Feb 2023		Vinyl Album Donovan - What's Bin Did And What's Bin Hid (2022)	Note Culture Factory label error, giving Pye number as NPL 19117, rather than NPL 18117. Correct on repro back cover, though.,
Ade Macrow 9th Feb 2023		Vinyl Album Mortier Fair Ground Organ - 84 Key Mortier Organ: "The Trumpeter" (1973)	Album is Vol. 2 and from The Devon Museum Of Mechanical Music. Back cover is entirely blank.
Ade Macrow 31st Dec 2022		Vinyl Album [no artist listed] - Top Of The Pops: Vol. 1 (1968)	Incredibly, the BBC didn't cooyright the name, hence Hallmark/Pickwick shrewdly jumping in and using it for this series of entirely unrelated cover versions by session musicians.
Ade Macrow 16th Aug 2022		Vinyl Album Donovan - Essence To Essence (1973)	Raised lettering on cover for first few pressings: later standard 'flat' typeface.
Ade Macrow 13th Aug 2022		Vinyl Album Donovan - Fairytale (1980)	Track A2 bears the correct title. It is often erroneously reproduced as 'To' instead of 'I'll'.
Ade Macrow 8th Aug 2022		Vinyl Album Donovan - Best Of 1965-1969 Live (2022)	Again, not a bootleg!
Ade Macrow 8th Aug 2022		Vinyl Album Donovan - Best Of 1965-1969 Live (2022)	The bootleg/repro label is wrong.
Ade Macrow 4th Aug 2022		Vinyl Album Donovan - Golden Tracks (2022)	Pressed in Canada for USA.
Ade Macrow 12th Mar 2022		Vinyl Album Donovan - Best Of 1965-1969 Live (2022)	For some reason, my scanner renders the fluorescent orange vinyl an off-white/grey colour.
Ade Macrow 11th Mar 2022		Vinyl Album Donovan - Best Of 1965-1969 Live (2022)	The sister CD release is a double, with 30 tracks in total.
Ade Macrow 6th Jan 2021		Vinyl Album Donovan - What's Bin Did And What's Bin Hid (2020)	Slightly enlarged front photo, with text shifted further to right.
Ade Macrow 5th Jan 2021		Vinyl Album Donovan - What's Bin Did And What's Bin Hid (2020)	Individually numbered as well.
Ade Macrow 30th Jul 2020		Vinyl Album Steeleye Span - Hark! The Village Wait (1971)	Not surprised you're confused Gian Paolo! These were definitely bona-fide UK releases, not intended for export but the label situation did make it seem as if Steeleye were intent on having their work appear on as many British labels as possible.
Ade Macrow 14th Apr 2020		Vinyl Album Tyrannosaurus Rex - Dwarfish Trumpet Blues (2020)	That's a shame, Les. The Pantone 554 is presumably more like British Racing Green and the darker tone would have made a nicer contrast with the orange vinyl.
Ade Macrow 9th Feb 2020		Vinyl Album Donovan - H.M.S. Donovan (1971)	The tri-fold colour poster was only included in the first 1,000 pressings of the orange label. Subsequent orange label versions and the other two label designs do not include the poster.
Ade Macrow 9th Feb 2020		Vinyl Album Donovan - H.M.S. Donovan (1971)	A further minor label variation - 3A, if you will - has the full stops reinstated for H.M.S. on the rising sun label and the song titles in upper and lower case, rather than the all capitals, as depicted above.
Ade Macrow 23rd Jan 2020		Vinyl Album Mary O'Hara - Songs Of Erin (1956)	The other five songs from the LP appeared on the earlier eponymous Beltona EP (IEP 41).
Ade Macrow 14th Oct 2019		Vinyl Album Donovan - The Pye History Of British Pop Music: Donovan Vol. 2 (1976)	Added now, Charlie. Both this and Vol. 1 are gatefold sleeves, with the front consisting of a single piece of card a nd the back housing the actual record. Problem is, my scanner's not big enough to cope and I've had to rely on images from a Donovan chat group I ran, long ago, and these didn't include the above. One day...
Ade Macrow 28th Sep 2019		Vinyl Album Donovan - Pop Chronik 13 (1974)	Double LP. Gatefold sleeve. Integrated 4 page booklet.
Ade Macrow 28th Sep 2019		Vinyl Album Donovan - The Pye History Of British Pop Music: Donovan (1976)	Catalogue number is PYE 502. Sent correction four times but keeps being ignored. mod edit: sorry Ade. We're a bit stretched. Correction done for you.
Ade Macrow 26th Sep 2019		Vinyl Album Donovan - Sunshine Superman (2005)	Later reissued, pressed with orange/gold vinyl.
Ade Macrow 25th Sep 2019		Vinyl Album Donovan - Cosmic Wheels (1973)	During the 1973 OPEC petrol crisis, single sleeve versions of Cosmic Wheels were pressed, minus inners and poster. These curiously used the American Epic orange-with-white-concentric-circles label design rather than the standard UK yellow label. Such copies are now very rare.
Ade Macrow 25th Sep 2019		Vinyl Album Donovan - Essence To Essence (1973)	Added white labels only used for first pressings.
