Apollo59 21st Aug 2017		Vinyl Album The Who - Tommy (1969)	@BEATLEJOHN: I believe you. I remember reading that Daltrey re-recorded it because he couldn't sing it live in the higher key. Yet my extensive notes that I've been adding to bit by bit for around 20 years don't confirm that he did record it in 1973 - so my memory failure there. However, I'd be interested to know which version of Tommy this USA (lower key) version maybe found as it wasn't included on the 1996, 2003 or 2013 releases.
Apollo59 21st Aug 2017		Vinyl Album The Who - Tommy (1969)	Original pressing with gloss sleeve. The 1973 repress with matt sleeve has a new 1973 recording of Eyesight For The Blind (The Hawker) sung by Daltrey in a lower key.
Apollo59 1st Jun 2017		Vinyl Album The Beatles - Hey Jude! (1970)	When was the Apple issue without any title errors released? Could it also be 1979? - as I bought it in Portobello Rd in 1980, brand new for 2 quid.
Apollo59 1st Jun 2017		Vinyl Album The Beatles - Yellow Submarine (1969)	Record Collector: Not so actually as the Pepper sessions closed on 21st April, therefore, just It's Only A Northern Song.
Apollo59 1st Jun 2017		Vinyl Album The Beatles - The Beatles [The White Album] (1968)	The reissue scan dated '1980's' (not the white vinyl) could be more accurately dated to 1980, as that's when I bought a new copy as my original was getting a bit worn out.
Apollo59 1st Jun 2017		Vinyl Album The Beatles - Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band (1967)	Quite obviously whomever rated Within You Without You a mere 7 has not paid much attention to the lyrics.
Apollo59 1st Jun 2017		Vinyl Album Barclay James Harvest - The Best Of Barclay James Harvest (1977)	Anybody know if this was re-released as my copy has the slightly yellow cover, same as Italy as shown below
Apollo59 1st Jun 2017		Vinyl Album Aphrodite's Child - 666 (1972)	Sleeve also without VO Price Code box on rear and with Printed in Germany on inside right.
Apollo59 1st Jun 2017		Vinyl Album AC/DC - If You Want Blood You've Got It (1978)	Most of the tracks recorded at Apollo Theatre, Glasgow 30 April 1978
Apollo59 26th Mar 2017		Vinyl Album David Bowie - Live Nassau Coliseum '76 (2017)	Lee: It's not the name tag on your turntable that matters so much (as long as it's motor noise doesn't cause interference) but the stuff attached to it, the quality of the tone-arm and cartridge - these are the bits that matter. And of course, the quality of the pre-amp powering the turntable output into the amplifier (if the amp doesn't have a pre-amp). Your tone-arm and cartridge are the be-all and end-all. The record would need to be remastered for vinyl as it had never been issued before.It's a completely different sound field to that of digital, but rest assured they will have used exactly the same technical notes on production as they had used for its digital issue. To say it's a "new remaster" and therefore, different to the digital 2010, isn't correct. They've said this before about Bowie re-releases, when in fact all it is really is a change of labels from ISO/Columbia to Parlophone. It's all record company jive-talk. I must have at least 100 CD albums with 5.1 mixes that I've never heard and probably never will as I'm not interested in them either.
Apollo59 22nd Mar 2017		Vinyl Album David Bowie - Live Nassau Coliseum '76 (2017)	It would be pretty pointless to compare this with previous bootlegs for the simple reason that none of the bootlegs were assembled from pre-FM broadcast master tapes. I'm not so sure about this vinyl edition sounding better than the 2010 CDs. Perhaps there's some equipment playback issues. I agree with you on the finer details of the overall performance.
