CorporalClegg 21st Jun 2024		Vinyl Album Monty Python - Another Monty Python Record (1971)	Although Dietriech Walther appears to be a fictional name, "soloist" Justus Pankau was a German cinematographer who worked on the German version of Monty Python "Fliegender Zirkus."
CorporalClegg 2nd Apr 2024		Vinyl Album Fabian - 16 Greatest Hits (1973)	Is that supposed to be a pat of butter on top of his hair??
CorporalClegg 23rd Sep 2023		Vinyl Album Black Oak Arkansas - The Devil's Jukebox (2023)	Well, here's a surreal first–my first professional engineering credit! Rather chuffed to have had something I worked on pressed up to wax, and good practice to hear how it sounds as a finished physical mix.
CorporalClegg 7th Aug 2023		Vinyl Album The Move - Message From The Country (1971)	Phil Copestake was the tour manager for the Move/ELO. How he wound up credited for "No Time," I have absolutely no clue.
CorporalClegg 25th Mar 2023		Vinyl Album Brian Alexander Robertson - Wringing Applause (1973)	Interestingly, some copies seem to be pressed with one side's label printed sideways.
CorporalClegg 28th Mar 2022		Vinyl Album Kasenetz-Katz Singing Orchestral Circus - Kasenetz-Katz Singing Orchestral Circus (1968)	Some notes/observations about the groups and photos: --The St. Louis Invisible Marching Band is cheekily shown as a blank white square in the group photos, but the stamps show the pictures of the group listed as the Teri Nelson Group as being the in St. Louis. (Teri Nelson signed as a solo singer, but revoked her contract after being marketed as part of a group.) To me it looks like they're wearing wigs/makeup to change their appearance but I wouldn't swear to it, but I don't recognize who they are. --J.C.W. Ratfinks was a name concocted for singles, and I have no clue who the people in the line up actually are as I can't place any of their faces, though they look familiar. EDIT: Amending this, an August 3 1968 Billboard article could point to "Wayne" being Wayne Brewster, announced as a signed writer who appears to have written a few singles for Roulette. --Jim, Steve and Paul in the Musical Marching Zoo could possibly be Jim Calvert, Steve Feldman and Paul Naumann. --Appears cover designer Acy Lehman got to be in the stamps listed as "D. ZIN. R." The lineups and pictures for the 1910 Fruitgum Co, Ohio Express, Lt. Garcia's Magic Music Box and the Music Explosion all appear to be correct and the original group lineups.
CorporalClegg 26th Jan 2022		Vinyl Album The Move - Looking On (1970)	Modern sources cite "Turkish Tram Conductor Blues" as actually being a Wood song donated to Bevan for royalties. Either way it's a corker.
CorporalClegg 12th Jan 2022		Vinyl Album The Buoys - The Buoys (1971)	Album label and lyric sheet omits Danny Jordan's co-writing credit for "Give Up Your Guns," although the flap retains it.
CorporalClegg 28th Oct 2021		Vinyl Album The Lemon Pipers - Green Tambourine (1968)	For some reasons copies don't credit drummer Bill Albaugh for penning "Straglin' Behind" (also spelled "Stragglin'" on some copies).
CorporalClegg 28th Oct 2021		Vinyl Album The Lemon Pipers - Green Tambourine (1968)	For some reasons copies don't credit drummer Bill Albaugh for penning "Straglin' Behind" (also spelled "Stragglin'" on some copies).
CorporalClegg 28th Oct 2021		Vinyl Album The Lemon Pipers - Jungle Marmalade (1968)	The band penned "Mirrors" apparently got bumped in favor of "Lonely Atmosphere." All copies have Mirrors on the back and Atmosphere on the labels, but as far as I know the Canadian pressings are the only ones to actually play Mirrors.
CorporalClegg 15th Mar 2021		Vinyl Album The Turtles - The Turtles Present The Battle Of The Bands (1968)	Agreed in full, and my personal favorite of all the Turtles albums.
CorporalClegg 11th Mar 2021		Vinyl Album 1910 Fruitgum Co. - Indian Giver (1969)	Notice the front cover lists a track "Mary Wanna Go 'Round With Me", which did not appear on this album and only turned up on their final (German and French only) LP.
CorporalClegg 6th Dec 2020		Vinyl Album Fresh [UK] - Fresh Today (1970)	Stoned In Saigon is missing a co-author credit for Alan Gorrie.
CorporalClegg 6th Dec 2020		Vinyl Album Peter Sarstedt - As Though It Were A Movie (1969)	I found a sealed copy in my record store that's actually on the just plain World Pacific label. So far all others I've seen are World Pacific Jazz.
CorporalClegg 7th Oct 2020		Vinyl Album Zager And Evans - The Early Writings Of Zager And Evans (And Others) (1969)	Album containing singles of Zager & Evans from Nebraska under the names The Eccentrics and Denny Lamarr & The Echoes. With only enough material for one side, the b-side is padded out with the first half of the J.K. & Co's "Suddenly One Summer" album.
CorporalClegg 7th Oct 2020		Vinyl Album Tony And Derek Hardman - Tiger Moth (1976)	According to a reviewer on Amazon.uk, the album was a collection of demo recordings sent to the record company to review only to come back pressed up. It definitely sounds like a demo album with only the duo on guitar and bass and vocals, though there's some touches to it that could've been interesting if it were given a proper recording.
CorporalClegg 2nd Sep 2020		Vinyl Album Brian Protheroe - Pinball (1974)	Wonder why the spiral time is only on side II?
CorporalClegg 25th Feb 2020		Vinyl Album Buskers - Buskers (1970)	A3, despite the "Johns" credit, is actually the Nino & April tune.
CorporalClegg 10th Feb 2020		Vinyl Album Zager And Evans - 2525 (Exordium & Terminus) (1969)	The copy i picked up has "Crutches" listen on the front with a footnote on the back explaining it got kicked in favor of 2525. Eventually turned up on their second LP.
CorporalClegg 19th Jul 2019		Vinyl Album The Turtles - Wooden Head (1970)	Found out that the Roulettes did "I Can't Stop" and there is credited to someone named Lambert.
CorporalClegg 12th Dec 2018		Vinyl Album Bonzo Dog Doo-Dah Band - Gorilla (1967)	RIP Sam Spoons/Martin Ash.
CorporalClegg 1st Dec 2018		Vinyl Album The Tokens - Greatest Moments (1970)	Wasn't aware a Canadian pressing existed! I just snagged an American release myself.
CorporalClegg 24th Nov 2018		Vinyl Album The Hot Dogs - Say What You Mean (1973)	Carol Ruleman was Terry Manning's wife; she was credited on this and the Cargoe release with doing the cover photography.
CorporalClegg 24th Nov 2018		Vinyl Album Cargoe - Cargoe (1972)	The intro on side 2 "This Is Real" was written by Max Wisley.
CorporalClegg 16th Sep 2018		Vinyl Album Clive Kennedy - Clive Kennedy (1976)	A very odd record, somewhere in the middle of glam, pop, rock and art rock. Fey delivery means the voice takes some getting used to and at times makes one song work and another not. Funny enough I feel like I switch what I do and don't like every time I listen. Very strange but cautiously recommended. Fun note, track B3 contains a sample of "Kavalier Waltzes" by Oskar Nedbal (thank you Shazam app!).
CorporalClegg 5th Sep 2018		Vinyl Album Electric Light Orchestra - On The Third Day (1973)	Cellist Colin Walker left halfway through recording; being short a cellist they credited the fake Ted Blight and had engineer Rick Pannell mime cello on a few tv performances. (His "photo" is the bottom left one that's intentionally fuzzy.)
CorporalClegg 10th Jul 2018		Vinyl Album Various Artists - KROQ Devotees Album (1979)	Harold Bronson in his book details how contest winners were so marginal he and Richard Foos concocted the Bakersfield Boogie Boys band to pad out the album.
