carey jeggs 12th May 2021		Vinyl Album Lyndon B. Johnson - Liberty Records Presents Mr. President (1964)	'Let me show 'em the scar.'
carey jeggs 12th Jun 2020		Vinyl Album Hapshash And The Coloured Coat - The Western Flier (1969)	When Mike Batt appeared on a recent episode of Pointless Celebrities.Xander was asking him about his long career,his work with The Wombles and Katie Melua etc. but when the subject of Liberty Records cropped up Batt looked panic-stricken.I could imagine his internal monologue. 'Xander's a gent but that Osman bastard is going to bring up Western Flier just when I thought it was safely dead and buried.' The moment passed with something said about Elton John answering the same ad. Batt sang the show out with Bright Eyes.I think a compromise had been reached.
carey jeggs 31st Dec 2019		Vinyl Album Elaine And Derek - Elaine And Derek (1961)	Can I have some help over here please?!!
carey jeggs 7th Aug 2019		Vinyl Album Various Artists - I Asked For Water, She Gave Me ... Gasoline (1969)	There's a blues singer called Graham??!!!
carey jeggs 22nd May 2019		Vinyl Album Mitch Ryder - The Detroit-Memphis Experiment (1969)	Anybody else noticed his resemblance to Nigel Farage,and vice versa?
carey jeggs 19th Feb 2019		Vinyl Album The Esquires [soul] - Get On Up And Get Away (1968)	After all these years I've only just noticed that the cat.number on the label starts with HA as opposed to HA-Q as it appears on the sleeve.
carey jeggs 4th Sep 2018		Vinyl Album Dave Wilkerson - Why Kids Go Wrong! (1968)	To use one of his own catchphrases, he's full of Christ.
carey jeggs 10th Aug 2018		Vinyl Album Hapshash And The Coloured Coat - The Western Flier (1969)	The front cover picture and the reference to John Ivor Golliwog seem to have been removed for the American market. Now on to the mystery of Michael Mayhew.He appears on one of the cover pictures together with Mike Batt and Nigel Waymouth.In the Wiki entry for Hapshash his name is one of a handful,out of the numerous personages who have passed through this outfit,not to be provided with a link.So who was he?Where has he been and what has he done since? Well.Brenda Blethyn's husband is the former head of graphic design at the National Theatre and his name is.....Michael Mayhew.Bearing in mind that Hapshash were a very arty-farty sort of group,it seems to me feasible that this could be the same man.
carey jeggs 10th Aug 2018		Vinyl Album Sha Na Na - The Night Is Still Young (1972)	[YouTube Video] Glasses. IMO the best track on this album.Just Bowzer plus piano.Very funny but also strangely beautiful. Labels added.
carey jeggs 18th Jul 2018		Vinyl Album Philly Joe Jones And Elvin Jones - Together (1964)	Unfortunately in mono you don't get the benefit of hearing the Joneses trading fours,or eights,or cigarette cards,or whatever else it is that drummers trade.The general sound of the album is very Blue Note-ish.
carey jeggs 17th Jul 2018		Vinyl Album The Dirty Blues Band - Stone Dirt (1969)	For the John R.Bolton impersonation contest only the two blokes on the right made an effort.
carey jeggs 5th Jun 2018		Vinyl Album Jeff Simmons - Lucille Has Messed My Mind Up (1970)	I'm In The Music Business [YouTube Video]
carey jeggs 17th May 2018		Vinyl Album The Walker Brothers - Images (1967)	The helmets worn by the Chancellery Guards of Gallifrey seem to have been modelled on Gary Leeds' haircut.
carey jeggs 24th Apr 2018		Vinyl Album Hamilton, Joe Frank And Reynolds - Fallin' In Love (1975)	Never noticed before that Who Do You Love is credited to Eugene McDaniels.
carey jeggs 16th Oct 2017		Vinyl Album Steppenwolf - Live (1970)	I have two copies of this and the sleeves differ although they seem to be the same edition.One is glossy front and back,the other glossy on front only.
carey jeggs 4th Oct 2017		Vinyl Album Mitch Ryder - The Detroit-Memphis Experiment (1969)	No mention on label or sleeve of when this was made but judging by the logo I would guess around 1970.Also the Detroit album came out around that time on Paramount.
carey jeggs 12th May 2017		Vinyl Album MC 5 - High Time (1971)	Yes it does exist as a UK issue.Now entered with label images.Sorry unable to scan sleeve.
carey jeggs 27th Apr 2017		Vinyl Album Yes - Yessongs (1973)	There's a nice pretentious touch at the beginning where Anderson is testing his microphone and,instead of saying 'testing testing one two',like any normal person,he la-las the bassoon passage from the beginning of Rite Of Spring. BTW the sound is mostly dreadful.
carey jeggs 20th Apr 2017		Vinyl Album The Rascals - Peaceful World (1971)	Mother Nature Land and Visit To Mother Nature Land sound like the same track rather than the latter being a reprise of the former.I've never understood this.
carey jeggs 10th Apr 2017		Vinyl Album Mountain - Mountain Climbing! (1970)	I was thinking of Leslie West.
carey jeggs 9th Apr 2017		Vinyl Album Mountain - Mountain Climbing! (1970)	Are they playing Paper,Scissors,Scone on that back cover photo?
carey jeggs 15th Jan 2017		Vinyl Album Itzhak Perlman, London Symphony Orchestra, André Previn - Max Bruch / Felix Mendelssohn-Bartholdy (1973)	At first glance I thought that was half of The Monkees.
carey jeggs 15th Jan 2017		Vinyl Album Willie Nelson - Red Headed Stranger (1975)	I've not listened to it for years and,after buying it in the seventies,I was put off buying any more of his records or any more alt.country.I don't know if it was meant as a joke but,as I recall,there's a bit where the protagonist shoots a woman dead when he suspects that she might steal his horse and gets away with it because,well hell,this is Blue Rock,Montana where horses are more valuable than women.It certainly doesn't sound as if irony is intended. Having said which I'm now going to have to give it another listen.
carey jeggs 22nd Dec 2016		Vinyl Album Duane Eddy - Girls! Girls! Girls! (1961)	Thanks ppint. and Lee Wrecker.
carey jeggs 21st Dec 2016		Vinyl Album Duane Eddy - Girls! Girls! Girls! (1961)	Something I've never noticed before.On the back cover,why does 'twangy have an apostrophe in front?What letter or letters have been omitted?
carey jeggs 4th Sep 2015		Vinyl Album Dion - Born To Be With You (1975)	There are two mistakes in the track listing on the back of the sleeve.Make The World Love Me instead of Make The Woman Love Me and In And Out Of Showers instead of In And Out Of Shadows.
carey jeggs 9th Apr 2015		Vinyl Album Neil Diamond - Gold Diamond (1973)	I saw one of these in a charity shop today.It was bent at right angles and had been turned into some sort of ornament.I was so horrified I didn't even notice what it was supposed to be.A single book-end?A clock?Maybe a magazine rack?Why do people do these things?
carey jeggs 20th Aug 2014		Vinyl Album Mountain - Mountain Climbing! (1970)	Label variation added.
carey jeggs 8th Aug 2014		Vinyl Album Johnny And The Hurricanes - Stormsville (1960)	Labels added
carey jeggs 8th Aug 2014		Vinyl Album Bobby Darin - Born Walden Robert Cassotto (1969)	Labels added
