davie gordon 1st May 2019		Vinyl Album Atomic Rooster - Nice 'n' Greasy (1973)	"Voodoo In You" was a cover of a track from "Ton Ton Macoute" by Johnny Jenkins SD 33-331
davie gordon 3rd Sep 2018		Vinyl Album The Tremeloes - Shiner (1976)	A separate entry is unnecessary - all it needs is an alternative cat. number for the DJ pressing.

davie gordon 23rd Jun 2016		Vinyl Album The Collectors - The Collectors (1968)	See the scan of the Billboard review I've just uploaded.
davie gordon 21st Jun 2016		Vinyl Album The Collectors - The Collectors (1968)	The U.S edition was issued in May 1968, since the New Syndrome issue used the US catalog number I think you can take it that the Canadian copy was issued more or less simultaneously with the US one. Definitely 1968.
davie gordon 6th Jun 2016		Vinyl Album Various Artists - The Original Hits (1960)	Advertised in Billboard Aug 8, 1960.
davie gordon 3rd May 2016		Vinyl Album Sam And Dave - Double Dynamite (1966)	Added scan of an ad from Billboard (Oct 29, 1966) with a different cover - third image in row 2. I've never seen an actual copy so it looks probable this was the intended cover but for one reason or another the album was held back and the cover replaced. An interesting curio.
davie gordon 31st Dec 2015		Vinyl Album Earth Opera - The Great American Eagle Tragedy (1969)	Absolutely brilliant track ... for my money nothing else comes close to capturing the sheer helpless rage so many felt at the time. It's always puzzled me that it's never referred to in the few interviews I've seen with Peter Rowan. The rest of Earth Opera's material you can live without but the title track is one of Elektra's most underrated masterpieces. I've been listening to it since 1969, when I was in high school and found a copy in a deletions bin in Woolworth's of all places - it hasn't lost one bit of its power in all those years and is as relevant now as it was when it was recorded. It's just dawned on me that Jack Bonus, one of the sax players is the guy who later turned up with a solo album for Jefferson Airplane's Grunt label. Any Velvet Underground specialists know if John Cale has ever spoken about his involvement ?
davie gordon 20th Feb 2014		Vinyl Album Dionne Warwick - Dionne Warwick's Golden Hits Volume 2 (1970)	Probably somebody had prior UK rights to the name "Scepter" but off-hand I can't think of a UK Scepter label.
davie gordon 11th Sep 2013		Vinyl Album Dionne Warwick - Promises, Promises (1968)	The ST-91597 / ST 91597 copies were issued through one of the big record clubs, Columbia if I remember rightly.
davie gordon 11th Sep 2013		Vinyl Album Various Artists - Stanley Kubrick's "A Clockwork Orange" (1972)	Wouldn't it be better to have the artist credit as "Soundtrack" or "Soundtrack - Clockwork Orange" ? There are thousands of soundtrack albums out there, mostly with multiple artists, so we'd be better off arriving at a consensus while were still in the early stages of the album database.
