carryonsidney 25th Jan 2023		Vinyl Album Stan Kenton And His Orchestra - Stan Kenton's Milestones (1951)	Capitol [uk] was originally run by Decca at the beginning and then swapped hands to EMI in 1956. Therefore the purple EMI label & sleeve pictured here are post 1956. The black label typesetting is a Decca arrangement so I would guess that is the first press. My copy has a purple label with nearly the same design as the purple one above but made by Decca, my sleeve is Decca printed as well with a printers date of C.P. 56.6 (June 1956) so must be in the last batch before the switch. Its curious how EMI have duplicated Decca's layout instead of using Parlophone or Columbia as a base image?
carryonsidney 14th Jan 2023		Vinyl Album The Pretty Things - Get The Picture? (1965)	I suspect this 1965 issue was Mono only, the album was reissued again in 1967 in the Netherlands with a different title and Mono/Stereo versions.
carryonsidney 20th Dec 2022		Vinyl Album Mari Wilson With The Wilsations - Showpeople (1983)	The calender insert as mentioned on the sticker on the sleeve, is a triptych, each side being 10" square, the first 2 sheets is the (picture) calender and the 3rd sheet is an order form for merchandise. When you open it out flat the reverse side is blank.
carryonsidney 19th Nov 2022		Vinyl Album Private Eye - Private Eye Presents Golden Satiricals (1981)	I have the other insert for this which doubles (triples) up as an inventory of details for the flexis - a spoof Private Eye issue and also the Promotional bit hence I can add the release date for this record.
carryonsidney 10th Sep 2022		Vinyl Album Carl Perkins - Dance Album Of Carl Perkins (1959)	I paid a fiver today for a very beaten up original copy of this because it is so rare. I can just tell it had the usual London/Decca flip back sleeve with curved cutaways. The front is laminated the back isnt. Printers note is McN10.59 (October 1959), old style London logo, plum labels.
carryonsidney 12th Aug 2022		Vinyl Album Bill Haley And His Comets - Live It Up! (1955)	I have now moved the german labels to here
carryonsidney 10th Aug 2022		Vinyl Album Various Artists - First Rock 'N' Roll Party (1956)	I have seen a Pye advert in a museum this week, dated for January 1957 so it was obviously selling well.
carryonsidney 2nd Aug 2022		Vinyl Album The Clique [90's] - Self Preservation Society (1995)	Red vinyl copies would be worth twice the black vinyl, at least I think.
carryonsidney 29th Nov 2021		Vinyl Album Various Artists - Jazz At The Philharmonic	Circa early 1950's?
carryonsidney 22nd Sep 2021		Vinyl Album [no artist listed] - Hot Hits 3 (1970)	Contains a superb sound a like version of "WAR", but also an unintentionally hilariously terrible version of "WU BAY TUESDAY"!
carryonsidney 25th Jul 2021		Vinyl Album Bing Crosby - Le Bing (1954)	Printers date as February 1954.
carryonsidney 25th Jul 2021		Vinyl Album Various Artists - Faces Of Jazz (1962)	Gatefold sleeve.
carryonsidney 6th Jul 2021		Vinyl Album The Stooges - The Stooges (1972)	Seemed to have picked up this - everything looks the same except its on a yellowy orange colour vinyl?
carryonsidney 7th Jun 2021		Vinyl Album Shirley Bassey - And We Were Lovers (1967)	Originally pressed with the black label design although the sleeves are identical.
carryonsidney 23rd Apr 2021		Vinyl Album Various Artists - Own Goal (1990)	Picked up a copy today - different ad insert but does include a "Clod" a trad paper fanzine Clod no.12, complete with a free page from Arthur Hailey's Airport!
carryonsidney 3rd Feb 2021		Vinyl Album Iron Maiden - Piece Of Mind (1993)	This one appears to have an English made sleeve with a greek record?
carryonsidney 3rd Feb 2021		Vinyl Album Iron Maiden - Piece Of Mind	This record label states made in the EEC which dates it to pre 1993? It can't be EU. I think the country here should actually be Germany not Europe.
carryonsidney 28th Jan 2021		Vinyl Album Desperate Journalist - Desperate Journalist (2015)	A 2nd issue was released on the 13th October 2020, in hot pink vinyl, sleeve and labels etc identical to the first. Mine arrived today, (covid delays etc) apparently this 2nd issue has now completely sold out.
carryonsidney 24th Jan 2021		Vinyl Album Various Artists - "Silk Stockings" The Original Soundtrack Recording (1986)	Definitely a uk sleeve record also had a poster insert.
carryonsidney 23rd Jan 2021		Vinyl Album Johnny Ace - A Memorial To Johnny Ace (1961)	Record probably issued in 1961. Vogue images added, RC guide seems to put the Vocalion issue first but personally I think Vogue labels are first (1950s design) followed later 1960s label designs for Vocalion? Anyway sleeve on my copy is laminated front and back, shame it is pretty beaten up.
