ajtharp 20th Sep 2024		Vinyl Album Raspberries - Fresh (1972)	Why create a new entry when the only difference between the standard and club issue is 1 additional number: ST-11123 / ST-611123 ?
ajtharp 11th Jul 2024		Vinyl Album Various Artists - The Shining (1980)	R.I.P. Shelley Duvall :-(
ajtharp 17th May 2024		Vinyl Album INXS - Shabooh Shoobah (1983)	Yes it is RecordDragon, click here and turn to page 61. This was their 1st album released in the US.
ajtharp 13th Mar 2024		Vinyl Album The Cars - Heartbeat City (1984)	"Heartbeat City" was released in America 40 years ago today.
ajtharp 11th Mar 2024		Vinyl Album Pink Floyd - The Dark Side Of The Moon (1973)	@Warlock, look at the Billboard ad above this comment.
ajtharp 18th Feb 2024		Vinyl Album Kiss - Kiss (1974)	Kiss' debut album was released 50 years ago today.
ajtharp 2nd Jan 2024		Vinyl Album Les McCann And Eddie Harris - Swiss Movement (1969)	[YouTube Video][YouTube Video]
ajtharp 30th Dec 2023		Vinyl Album Cream - Disraeli Gears (1967)	Looks great, thank you Mr. scaccolarsi
ajtharp 17th Nov 2023		Vinyl Album Rolling Stones - Let It Bleed (1969)	A full page ad in Billboard on November 22 along with the album review in the December 6 issue of BB would suggest a late November release, month of release changed.
ajtharp 10th Nov 2023		Vinyl Album Queen - Jazz (1978)	@Break-In Master, My best guess is that Elektra wanted to give some record dealers the option of ordering copies of the album without the nude bicycle race poster, 6E-166 does have the poster while 6E-170 just comes with an order form that you had to fill out and mail in order to get the poster. 6E-170 was probably designed to be a 2nd option for record dealers who feared being arrested for 'Distributing Pornography to Minors', or ones that might not stock the album on moral grounds.
ajtharp 3rd Oct 2023		Vinyl Album David McCallum - McCallum (1967)	Plus if you look closer, you'll notice that it's not even a stereo image, it's mono.
ajtharp 6th Aug 2023		Vinyl Album Ron Gardner - Ron Gardner (1974)	Original Doobie Brothers Bassist Dave Shogren plays on this album.
ajtharp 27th Jul 2023		Vinyl Album Sinéad O'Connor - The Lion And The Cobra (1987)	R.I.P. Sinéad :-(
ajtharp 5th Jul 2023		Vinyl Album Journey - Journey (1975)	R.I.P. George Tickner
ajtharp 27th Jun 2023		Vinyl Album Triumph - Never Surrender (1983)	C4sp3r, you are correct. It's the cover for the late 1984 MCA reissue, you can see "MCA-5543" printed in the lower right hand corner. The MCA reissue now has its own entry along with its front cover, all we need now is someone to add the correct RCA front cover here.
ajtharp 19th Jun 2023		Vinyl Album Gerry And The Pacemakers - Ferry Cross the Mersey (1965)	[YouTube Video]
ajtharp 3rd Jun 2023		Vinyl Album Jethro Tull - Thick As A Brick (1972)	Nope, Reprise was the 1st pressing, Chrysalis was the following year.
ajtharp 9th Apr 2023		Vinyl Album Frank Sinatra And Count Basie And His Orchestra - It Might As Well Be Swing (1964)	German scans moved to their own entry.
ajtharp 29th Mar 2023		Vinyl Album Led Zeppelin - Houses Of The Holy (1973)	"Houses Of The Holy" was released in America 50 years ago today.
ajtharp 24th Mar 2023		Vinyl Album Santana - Lotus (1974)	This is one of Santana’s least known albums outside of Japan, for the simple reason that until 1991 it was not released in the US. Carlos Santana: “It was beautiful and ambitious and the music was fresh, but it was nothing that Columbia could handle. With the album cover and packaging and the three disks, it was just too expensive for them. They didn’t believe it would sell enough. Even after the Japanese finally released Lotus in the summer of 1974 and it became the bestselling import at the time, Columbia wouldn’t budge, and even Bill Graham couldn’t make them.” -- from The Music Aficionado, March 24, 2023
