bobzyeruncle 11th Nov 2013 | | Vinyl AlbumVarious Artists - Brum Beat (1964) | Wow! :shocked:
|
bobzyeruncle 11th Nov 2013 | | Vinyl AlbumThe Beatles - Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band / Revolver (1992) | Were the Antrop releases officially licenced or technically bootlegs? Never been able to work that out.
|
bobzyeruncle 11th Nov 2013 | | Vinyl AlbumThe Beatles - Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band (1967) | I've seen coated variants for Capitol releases on west coast pressings that preceded this one by at least five years. Have yet to see a matte finish on one of the 'side logo' labels, for instance.
Seems like these came and went from the late fifties on for over a decade.

bobzyeruncle 10th Nov 2013 | | Vinyl AlbumThe Beatles - The Beatles Box (1981) | How did this one escape my attention?? (I need a change of pants now, I think.)
|
bobzyeruncle 10th Nov 2013 | | Vinyl AlbumVarious Artists - 25 Years Of Rhythm & Blues Hits (1965) | Anyone know who was pressing records for Ember in the mid-sixties?
|
bobzyeruncle 10th Nov 2013 | | Vinyl AlbumOriginal Cast Recording With Barbara Dickson - John, Paul, George, Ringo . . . & Bert (1974) | And here I thought it was your name being Bert. :laugh:
|
bobzyeruncle 10th Nov 2013 | | Vinyl AlbumWishbone Ash - Argus (1972) | Is it safe to say George Lucas still has a battered copy of this tucked away somewhere? :laugh:
|
bobzyeruncle 10th Nov 2013 | | Vinyl AlbumCulpeper's Orchard - Culpeper's Orchard (1971) | Found an original Italian press of PFM's Per Un Amico in the chazza for the same price a couple of years ago. Amazing what you can find on the racks sometimes!
|
bobzyeruncle 10th Nov 2013 | | Vinyl AlbumThe Jimi Hendrix Experience - Are You Experienced (1967) | True stereo mixes were done at the time, but true to form, I prefer the mono.
|
bobzyeruncle 10th Nov 2013 | | Vinyl AlbumSparks - Kimono My House (1974) | Chris Blackwell dropped a massive clanger with the first issue, as it was incredibly hard to tell the Mael brothers from all four Beatles? (You're supposed to laugh ...or maybe not.)
|
bobzyeruncle 10th Nov 2013 | | Vinyl AlbumNancy Wilson - Easy (1968) | A gorgeous album from a gorgeous lady.
She could have made the telephone directory sound sexy.
|
bobzyeruncle 9th Nov 2013 | | Vinyl AlbumDionne Warwick - Promises, Promises (1968) | I've learned to avoid Capitol record club stuff like the plague!
That said, I seek out the Longines (Decca, Gloversville) Beatles LPs as they sound better to my admittedly cloth ears.
|
bobzyeruncle 9th Nov 2013 | | Vinyl Album[no artist listed] - A Minute Of Your Time | I'm guessing the mature lady on the sleeve was chosen for this LP being aimed at a slightly older age bracket? :wink:
|
bobzyeruncle 7th Nov 2013 | | Vinyl AlbumVernon Elliot - Clangers, Original Working Music, Cues & Effects (2001) | I love 'specialist' stuff like this! Hanging my head in shame that I usually buy it on c**pact disc so I can use them in mixtapes.
|
bobzyeruncle 7th Nov 2013 | | Vinyl AlbumThe Beatles - Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band (1967) | If there's a difference in first and second pressings of this, it would have had to be within the frame of no more than a month or two. Capitol phased out mono for most releases in early '68.
|
bobzyeruncle 6th Nov 2013 | | Vinyl AlbumAllan Jones - Allan Jones Sings Donkey Serenade And Other Great Songs (1967) | Lovely game of pin the tail on the Allan later, if anyone's up for it.
|
bobzyeruncle 6th Nov 2013 | | Vinyl Album[no artist listed] - 12 Tops Volume 14 (1973) | Aren't all baked goods, TP? :laugh:
|
bobzyeruncle 6th Nov 2013 | | Vinyl Album[no artist listed] - 12 Tops Volume 14 (1973) | Last time I was in Gregg's, (Many years ago.) they had their Baps on full display as well. Innocent lad at the time, I decided to stick with the cheese & onion.
|
bobzyeruncle 6th Nov 2013 | | Vinyl Album[no artist listed] - 12 Tops Volume 14 (1973) | Title of track 3 nearly covers it. :wink:
|
bobzyeruncle 5th Nov 2013 | | Vinyl AlbumBlondie - The Hunter (1982) | "For Your Eyes Only" was written for the 007 film of the same name but turned down by 'Cubby' in favour of the tune eventually performed by Sheena Easton.
|
bobzyeruncle 4th Nov 2013 | | Vinyl AlbumVarious Artists - American Dreams (1985) | Poor geography as well, considering it appears they think Australia & Canada are part of the United States. :laugh:
|
bobzyeruncle 4th Nov 2013 | | Vinyl AlbumVarious Artists - 20 Star Tracks (1972) | Label images uploaded.
|
bobzyeruncle 4th Nov 2013 | | Vinyl AlbumElvis Presley - California Holiday (1966) | The title of the film and LP in the US was "Spinout".
|
bobzyeruncle 4th Nov 2013 | | Vinyl AlbumKiss - Unmasked (1980) | The outer ring and typesetting looks like American Polygram to me. Did they have their own pressing plant by 1980?
|
bobzyeruncle 4th Nov 2013 | | Vinyl Album[no artist listed] - Top Of The Pops: Vol. 68 (1978) | Now on a mission to find B6 on youtube! :laugh:
|
bobzyeruncle 3rd Nov 2013 | | Vinyl AlbumHerb Alpert And The Tijuana Brass - Going Places (1965) | A very close runner-up to the TJB's "Whipped Cream And Other Delights" position of ubiquity in American chazzas.
|
bobzyeruncle 2nd Nov 2013 | | Vinyl AlbumCuckoo - Iona (1978) | If there's a compo for 'most confusing label layout', I nominate this one for the shortllist. :laugh:
|
bobzyeruncle 17th Oct 2013 | | Vinyl AlbumOzzy Osbourne - Ozzmium (1981) | Rhoads is legendary (deservedly so) amongst 'guitar geeks'. Sadly gone too soon.
|
bobzyeruncle 16th Oct 2013 | | Vinyl AlbumVarious Artists - Variétés De Paris (1969) | Is it possible to get a designation of 'Programme Transcription' for discs like these? I've got several I'd like to upload and no doubt more catters do as well
|
bobzyeruncle 16th Oct 2013 | | Vinyl AlbumAdge Cutler And The Wurzels - Recorded Live At The Royal Oak, Nailsea, Zummerzet (1967) | According to Mark Lewison in the Beatles recording sessions book, Martin & Emmerick caused a bit of a stir within the band by refusing to record them on the evening this was scheduled.
