BEATLEJOHN 14th Mar 2018		Vinyl Album The Yardbirds - Over, Under, Sideways, Down (1966)	By the time this Lp was issued in Canada, Page was in the band (even though he's not on the Lp)...and an alternate shot from this photo session was used on the US sleeve for "Happenings"John

BEATLEJOHN 13th Mar 2018		Vinyl Album Small Faces - Ogdens' Nut Gone Flake (1968)	Added back and unfolded covers...also labels from a new copy procured around 1973/4...John
BEATLEJOHN 12th Mar 2018		Vinyl Album Sparks - Sparks (1972)	Added "Shrink-wrap insert"...(these were generally placed underneath the shrink-wrap above the cover....found on a lot of Warner brothers related labels 1971/72)....John
BEATLEJOHN 11th Mar 2018		Vinyl Album Frank Sinatra - The Great Years (1962)	Those are US labels, why is it entered as Canada?............John Mod Edit: Entry Fixed.

BEATLEJOHN 11th Mar 2018		Vinyl Album Steve Miller Band - Fly Like An Eagle (1976)	Added unusual "Winchester" labels..(both sides have a Winchester symbol in the wax)...with a wide pressing ring (Capitol pressings typically tend to have a 45rpm hole sized ring) and the labels are flush with the vinyl with no raised edges....John
BEATLEJOHN 11th Mar 2018		Vinyl Album The Steve Miller Band - Sailor (1968)	Added 69/72 green labels...(These particular labels are a Winchester pressing and are probably 1971/72)
BEATLEJOHN 9th Mar 2018		Vinyl Album Andy Williams - Days Of Wine And Roses (1963)	Note Alan Osmond glancing up at Andy in the front row!....John
BEATLEJOHN 6th Mar 2018		Vinyl Album The Monkees - Instant Replay (1969)	Added alternate set of labels without the wide/deep "RCA" pressing groove....John
BEATLEJOHN 4th Mar 2018		Vinyl Album The Mindbenders - A Groovy Kind Of Love (1966)	There are printed front covers with "Ashes To Ashes"...but there are hybrid fronts and backs with mixed titles.....John

BEATLEJOHN 28th Feb 2018		Vinyl Album George Martin And His Orchestra - London By George (1968)	...added all images...John (PS the front cover model is wearing body paint.....and that's all!)

BEATLEJOHN 3rd Feb 2018		Vinyl Album Tony Sheridan And The Beat Brothers - My Bonnie (1986)	What's unusual is in an alternate shot from this cover photo session (taken by Astrid Kirscherr)..Stu Sutcliffe is in the photo!
BEATLEJOHN 3rd Feb 2018		Vinyl Album The Beatles - The Original Greatest Hits (1964)	Might be the 1st actual Beatle boot, though I think it's more from 1965...Though It says "The Beatles" nowhere on the disc or label!...It does however have the (probably off a Canadian 45) original UK (Ringo) version of "Love Me Do" (this was my original source of this version!!!)....John
BEATLEJOHN 3rd Feb 2018		Vinyl Album Various Artists - The Original Soundtrack Of Mary Poppins (1964)	...added alternate labels...John
BEATLEJOHN 23rd Jan 2018		Vinyl Album The 5th Dimension - The Magic Garden (1967)	A folded down mono mix??????....John
BEATLEJOHN 23rd Jan 2018		Vinyl Album Raspberries - Raspberries (1972)	Anybody ever discover why a lot of Capitol Lps from mid 71 to mid 72 come with both the Lime Green and Magenta label???????? (and it's not factory based!!!!)....John
BEATLEJOHN 4th Jan 2018		Vinyl Album The Beatles - From Then To You (1970)	Since the catalogue number is actually a stamper number, shouldn't it read LYN.2153/4?....John
BEATLEJOHN 3rd Jan 2018		Vinyl Album The Rolling Stones - Through The Past, Darkly (Big Hits Vol. 2) (1969)	The US High Tide Lp came out before "Paint It, Black" ...you go figure it out!....Typically US LP's have 11 or 12 tracks back then......This is why hardcore US fans tried to find UK copies of most pre-1967 Lps...(Don't forget to include Canada when you're complaining about "US" formatted albums!)....John!
BEATLEJOHN 3rd Jan 2018		Vinyl Album The Marcels - Blue Moon (1961)	Added 1980's re-issue, (bought at Tower!).... cover quality is good as compared to the 1961 original (no moirés, it has a spine!)..and the audio is very good (actually the 1980's vinyl is quieter than the 1961 pressing, and, of course it's a little flexible)...the only major difference is the labels.. (the 1961 pressings are one of the last Colpix Lp's to use the "old style" Red name on top labels).I really don't consider this a bootleg (though it might be???), just a faithful re-issue....John
BEATLEJOHN 27th Dec 2017		Vinyl Album The Merry-Go-Round - You're A Very Lovely Woman (1967)	The Merry-Go-Round on The Dating Game![YouTube Video]
BEATLEJOHN 27th Dec 2017		Vinyl Album The Hollies - Dear Eloise / King Midas In Reverse (1967)	Showing September and October 1967 Playboy's on news stand and September 15, 1967 copy of "Private Eye" (next to Nash and behind Hick's head)....John
BEATLEJOHN 5th Dec 2017		Vinyl Album The Peppermint Rainbow - Will You Be Staying After Sunday (1969)	[YouTube Video] Here's Green Tambourine (yep it's the same backing track as the "Pipers" version..,..shame on Paul Leka.)
BEATLEJOHN 23rd Nov 2017		Vinyl Album The Beatles - The Beatles' Second Album (1964)	...follows from Notes) -- RIAA Gold Record Award seal added to front cover in 1968 (though later pressings can also be without this!)..."This is a Stereo record...." notation removed on back cover. -- Cover changed from slicks on cardboard to one piece posterboard during 1976-1977. -- Release re-numbered Capitol C1-90444
