Big Bad Wolf 17th Dec 2024		Vinyl Album The Rolling Stones - Around And Around (1964)	I just found out that my copy has the "very very first edition" labels, that are still missing here: the oval sign in full gold with "DECCA" in winered letters. Just like they can be seen on the first German LP BLK 16300-P. I will try to scan and load them up soon.
Big Bad Wolf 12th Nov 2024		Vinyl Album James Brown And His Famous Flames - James Brown´s Greatest Hits (1966)	The red labels are from an early reissue in 1967. The 1966 originals had the black Polydor International labels.
Big Bad Wolf 5th Mar 2024		Vinyl Album Donovan - Pop Chronik 13 (1974)	The catalogue no. for this set is 88 528 XCT. The records have the internal numbers 88 526 XT and 88 527 XT. [Mod: corrected]
Big Bad Wolf 27th Feb 2024		Vinyl Album The Velvet Underground And Nico - The Velvet Underground & Nico (1967)	78rpm, that's correct. Released late 1967, this issue was available until early 1970. To fit into the new numbering system, in 1970 the number was internally changed to "0710004". Soon after that the LP was deleted, the remaining US covers were destroyed.
Big Bad Wolf 27th Feb 2024		Vinyl Album The Rolling Stones - Beggars Banquet (1968)	Sorry, this is not the first German issue, it's the second, from 1970! The real German original has a lower catalog number (SLK 16570-P), has no "Decca" emblem and no stars on the front cover. On the back cover and the labels is an emblem of "Bild und Funk", a German TV magazine. I don't have my old copy of this record anymore and so I can't upload pictures. But on discogs you can see the pictures. Here's the link: https://www.discogs.com/de/release/1709131-Rolling-Stones-Beggars-Banquet The release date on discogs (January 1969) is true. In 1968 there was no German "Beggars Banquet" at all. Teldec had been too slow, and so they had to import British albums for sale before christmas... (I remember that because in 1969/70 I was selling records in a shop in Hamburg every saturday).
