carryonsidney ● 4th Aug 2019 |  | Vinyl AlbumH.W. Harding - [Unknown] | I have run the signature past some other folks and we think the "artiste" is "H.W. Harding"? A google search returns 1 usuable result of a chap who wrote a poetry book called The Pendulum. If it is the same person he was a treasurer of The Poetry Society (based in Dulwich) just after WW2.

carryonsidney ● 9th Jun 2019 |  | Vinyl AlbumGene Vincent And His Blue Caps - Bluejean Bop! (1956) | Does anybody know what period of time the 2nd pressing happened in? I just picked up a copy & o looks like original owner handily wrote a date on the back of sleeve 13/2/60 but wanted to confirm that?
|
carryonsidney ● 30th May 2019 |  | Vinyl AlbumRoy Orbison And Bristow Hopper - Problem Child | Probably a reissue of "Orbiting with Roy Orbison and Bristow Hopper" on the Design Records labels from 1962. Design was a subsidery of Pickwick Record NY as was this record here.
All of Roy's tracks were recorded at Sun studios in 1956.

|
carryonsidney ● 16th Jun 2018 |  | Vinyl AlbumFamily - Family Entertainment (1969) | A quick run round the web fails to find any Mono versions of this album. Although Reprise were still issuing Stereo + Mono albums at this time. Probably is a mistake in RC.
|
carryonsidney ● 20th Apr 2018 |  | Vinyl AlbumThe Everly Brothers - The Fabulous Style Of The Everly Brothers (1960) | Also came with the same plum label but with non flipback sleeve.
|
carryonsidney ● 19th Mar 2018 |  | Vinyl AlbumLouis Armstrong - Jazzin' Again With Armstrong (1955) | I think that must be a 2nd press sleeve, I have a copy that has no picture, in line with other early 50's text only pressings?
|
carryonsidney ● 11th Nov 2017 |  | Vinyl AlbumSam And Dave - Double Dynamite (1967) | needs moving to 1967 as per comments on 589002
|
carryonsidney ● 2nd Nov 2017 |  | Vinyl AlbumBooker T. And The MG's - And Now! (1967) | presumably the 3rd March 1967 same as the first 3 singles?
MEMPHIS GOLD VOLUME 1 STAX 589001 was the first, picked up recently must get round to putting it up.
|
carryonsidney ● 2nd Nov 2017 |  | Vinyl AlbumDominic Behan - Down By The Liffeyside (1960) | Its not, average ebay price for this is around 20 to 40 pounds. There are at least 3 different covers purple, white & a photgraph cover (of Behan).
|

carryonsidney ● 11th Sep 2017 |  | Vinyl AlbumThe Beatles - Beatles' Greatest (1975) | 15 copies of it on Ebay, can't be that rare!
|
carryonsidney ● 4th Aug 2017 |  | Vinyl AlbumThe Jam - The Butterfly Collector (1980) | there are 2 versions of this record - the sleeves are different, had it a long time ago but sold it to a mate who is no longer with us.

carryonsidney ● 25th Jul 2017 |  | Vinyl AlbumDuster Bennett - Smiling Like I'm Happy (1968) | My copy of this is quite battered but I would never sell it as it is a brilliant record.
|
carryonsidney ● 28th Jun 2017 |  | Vinyl AlbumTerry Reid - The Most Of Terry Reid (1971) | straight reissue of "Terry Reid" SCX 6370 (1969). If I understand this correctly Reid and his manager/producer Mickie Most had a falling out in 69 which resulted in the original record sinking without trace as Reid could not play in UK. This record could have been released by Most when news that Reid, free of his contract was signed to ATLANTIC in 71?
|
carryonsidney ● 18th Jun 2017 |  | Vinyl AlbumMotörhead - No Sleep 'Til Hammersmith (1981) | Available in Black or Gold vinyl. Some websites list the Gold as BRONG 535 however that was only noted on some copies with a special gold sticker on the alblum sleeve, otherwise the actual record sleeve shows BRON 535 not all the gold vinyl sleeves were stickered in that way.
|
carryonsidney ● 18th May 2017 |  | Vinyl AlbumStatus Quo - Spare Parts (1969) | typical, the other day somebody snaffled a mint copy of this right next to me at a boot sale. >(
|
carryonsidney ● 30th Mar 2017 |  | Vinyl AlbumThe Watersons - A Yorkshire Garland (1966) | Im a bit confused by the note above it does say on my sleeve "First issed by Topic in 1966" but I think it is the 1966 copy, blue sleeve and blue topic labels, there is a reissue which has a white sleeve & white label but all the other print design looks to be the same.

|
carryonsidney ● 14th Feb 2017 |  | Vinyl AlbumPaul McCartney - Снова в СССР (1988) | Without revealing any 'info' I can tell you a vast number of these arrived in the UK in 1988 via soviet aircrews who were ferrying freight to a certain smallish southern airport and then to a friends shop locally, whereby they were sold by the suitcase to Macca nutters.
(at one point I had about 10 copies of it.)
