BEATLEJOHN 15th Aug 2017		Vinyl Album Grateful Dead - Wake Of The Flood (1973)	Bgray1...The UA labels and back cover would be a separate entry (I think from 1979)...John Mod Edit: new entry here, all it needs is a front cover scan.
BEATLEJOHN 10th Aug 2017		Vinyl Album Elton John - Madman Across The Water (1971)	Added all original pressing images...including inside cover booklet...A lot of Elton's albums had the "extras" that made them interesting to peruse (not that fun to scan though!)...;-)...John (as a personal editorial my favorite Elton Lp's are between this and "Tumbleweed".....and why did "Madman" do so poorly in the UK??....too seemingly American??..Glam was kicking in and Elton hadn't jumped ship yet?)
BEATLEJOHN 10th Aug 2017		Vinyl Album Elton John - Tumbleweed Connection (1971)	Added all images for the original 73096 issue including the entire 12 page book (phew!)....John
BEATLEJOHN 10th Aug 2017		Vinyl Album The Beach Boys - Little Deuce Coupe (1963)	No, despite what the sticker says, it does not contain the "smash hit single" of Be True To Your School...it is the unadorned "album version"....John
BEATLEJOHN 10th Aug 2017		Vinyl Album Billy Joel - The Nylon Curtain (1982)	Added everything but the front cover....John
BEATLEJOHN 9th Aug 2017		Vinyl Album Billy Joel - Streetlife Serenade (1974)	I really don't know how I wound up with a Quad copy of this.. (I don't even know if there's any Quad mixing oddities about it either?!)...but here's the scans....John
BEATLEJOHN 9th Aug 2017		Vinyl Album Billy Joel - Piano Man (1973)	Added original pressing KC images (Covers, inner sleeve and labels)..I do know as the years went by the cover image darkened and the stock went from a textured matte finish (my scans show this)... to bright glossy......John
BEATLEJOHN 3rd Aug 2017		Vinyl Album Jefferson Airplane - Bark (1971)	The JA logo on the brown paper bag imitates the old (and now defunct chain of grocery stores) logo of A&P....John
BEATLEJOHN 3rd Aug 2017		Vinyl Album The Isley Brothers - Timeless (1978)	The material stretches back to ten years and the band has been with CBS since 1973, you would think they would have come up with a more attractive package than this (and of course my promo cover doesn't help!)...The series of (from the rear!!!!!) live shots in the gatefold center really says it all.....(just get that product out!)...To CBS's credit, a really good song selection!...John
BEATLEJOHN 2nd Aug 2017		Vinyl Album Jefferson Airplane - Volunteers (1969)	Added inner spread, insert and labels.....Noticed my insert sheet has an "RE" on it after the catalogue number (bottom left corner, page 4)...that means there is an earlier (non- RE) version out there!...John
BEATLEJOHN 31st Jul 2017		Vinyl Album Pink Floyd - Ummagumma (1969)	Ever notice the "Gigi" album on the floor is airbrushed out on the US (and Canadian) cover?.......MGM was not an EMI label in the States....John
BEATLEJOHN 31st Jul 2017		Vinyl Album Badfinger - Magic Christian Music (1970)	In response to TopPoppers comment, the tracks repeated from the Ivey's Lp were all re-mixed (most noticeably) with new (and improved) stereo imaging...John
BEATLEJOHN 27th Jul 2017		Vinyl Album Hotlegs - Thinks School Stinks (1971)	Ahem...but no panties included!.....John...;-)
BEATLEJOHN 27th Jul 2017		Vinyl Album Jefferson Airplane - Jefferson Airplane Takes Off (1966)	...added alternate set of "Nipper" labels....John
BEATLEJOHN 27th Jul 2017		Vinyl Album Hotlegs - Thinks School Stinks (1971)	The US Hotlegs Lp came out a few months ahead of it's (gatefold!) UK counterpart, I notice some of the writing credits changed....John
BEATLEJOHN 26th Jul 2017		Vinyl Album Bee Gees - 20 Greatest Hits (1978)	Not too many Bee Gees comps would have "Holiday" , "You Should Be Dancing" and "Every Christian Lion Hearted Man Will Show You" in that order.............This one does....John
BEATLEJOHN 26th Jul 2017		Vinyl Album Rupert Holmes - Rupert Holmes (1975)	In the "wayback" years of 1975/6 I had tuned in WNEW-FM New York in and heard "I Don't Want To Hold Your Hand" (It was either Scott Muni, Dennis Elsas or Pete Fornatale who played it, ...I tend to think it was Fornatale)...but I had no idea who the artist was, but eventually came across a used copy of this LP and there it was!...I actually had grown kind of fond of this album as a whole!...(the only other Rupert Lp I kept over the years was "Partners In Crime")....so here is Rupert Holmes' sophomore album!....John (PS: Everything Gets Better When You're Drunk)
BEATLEJOHN 26th Jul 2017		Vinyl Album The Hollies - Clarke, Hicks, Sylvester, Calvert, Elliott (1977)	Finally added promo cover with timing strip and stamp...never really had a need for this LP (since it repeated tracks from UK Lps), so I just kept this promo..,.anybody with a stock cover would be appreciated....John
BEATLEJOHN 26th Jul 2017		Vinyl Album The Hollies - Hollies' Greatest Vol. 2 (1972)	Added cover images....John
BEATLEJOHN 26th Jul 2017		Vinyl Album The Hollies - Hollies Sing Hollies (1969)	added inner center spread, for some reason German copies made their way into the USA....John
BEATLEJOHN 26th Jul 2017		Vinyl Album Santana - Festivál (1977)	The UK single "Revelations" was issued on Jan 7th with a 1976 copyright, (The US releases also have a 1976 copyright but seem to be issued in 1977)..John
BEATLEJOHN 26th Jul 2017		Vinyl Album George Harrison - Wonderwall Music (1982)	The images I've added are from my wife's collection, I tend to think this release is from 1981/2 and not 1986 (too late)....she knows she purchased it before she moved from her house in 1983....John
BEATLEJOHN 24th Jul 2017		Vinyl Album George Harrison - Wonderwall Music (1982)	Added a front cover with a US import sticker, and insert images....John
BEATLEJOHN 24th Jul 2017		Vinyl Album Richard Harris - His Greatest Perfomances (1973)	Dumbledore's (vers. 1.0) Best!...John
BEATLEJOHN 24th Jul 2017		Vinyl Album DeVol - Guess Who's Coming To Dinner (1968)	Added images...John
BEATLEJOHN 24th Jul 2017		Vinyl Album Graham Gouldman - The Graham Gouldman Thing (1968)	...In case you were interested in that "thing".......actually not that bad of an album....John
BEATLEJOHN 22nd Jul 2017		Vinyl Album Various Artists - Hair (1968)	Isn't this the original London Cast recording of Hair? ....and should be linked to this?......and both "artists" changed to "Original Cast"?....John
BEATLEJOHN 20th Jul 2017		Vinyl Album Various Artists - Jonathan King Presents The Very Best Of Entertainment From The U.S.A. (1986)	A Hits Hawker.......Is this what happened to him after he left the States???....John
BEATLEJOHN 20th Jul 2017		Vinyl Album The Four Seasons - The Four Seasons Story (1975)	Added images...John
BEATLEJOHN 20th Jul 2017		Vinyl Album Herman's Hermits - Mrs. Brown You've Got A Lovely Daughter (1968)	Added alternate labels...John (4)...(PS...don't look for "new" versions of "Mrs. Brown" and "Kind Of Hush"....they're still the same old versions...in fact they're re-channeled, while the rest of the Lp is Stereo)
