DeweyGill SUBS 28th Oct 2024		Vinyl Album Wishbone Ash - Live Dates (1973)	Sticker added. Appears to be the hype sticker removed from the shrink and carefully stored inside the jacket
DeweyGill SUBS 9th May 2024		Vinyl Album Stu Phillips - Follow Me : Original Soundtrack (1969)	Billboard review June 7, 1969 - “Special Merit Pick”
DeweyGill SUBS 9th Apr 2024		Vinyl Album The Viscounts - Harlem Nocturne (1965)	One track added- “Opus 1”. This was not on the Madison LP. “Sophisticated Lady” substitutes “Night Train” on side two which is omitted on this release. My copy is stereo, it uses the mono cover with a large “stereo“ sticker attached to the front cover.
DeweyGill SUBS 14th Nov 2023		Vinyl Album Various Artists - 45 Rockin' Rollers	One has to wonder the origins of this comp and the licensing of these songs. My copy is on flimsy ‘70’s vinyl and for the most part sounds muffled and reprocessed. The odd duck here is the inclusion of the Turtles cut, probably included after White Whale Records folded in 1971. I thought Flo and Eddie had ownership of their material. Since the original Vee Jay was dissolved in 1966, this must be the Vee Jay International years
DeweyGill SUBS 27th Oct 2023		Vinyl Album The Rolling Stones - Hackney Diamonds (2023)	For a band of this caliber, it has always puzzled me by the lack of quality album art on most of their releases.
DeweyGill SUBS 27th Oct 2023		Vinyl Album The Rolling Stones - Hackney Diamonds (2023)	Added missing images. Although a printed inner sleeve is included, the disc is instead housed in a black poly lined sleeve. This is a gatefold, I’ll leave it to someone else to peel their shrink wrap.
DeweyGill SUBS 27th Oct 2023		Vinyl Album Jimmy Reed - More Of The Best Of Jimmy Reed (1964)	Billboard ad January 18, 1964 BB review February 29, 1964
DeweyGill SUBS 8th Oct 2023		Vinyl Album The Chi-Lites - (For God's Sake) Give More Power To The People (1971)	Hype sticker added
DeweyGill SUBS 6th Oct 2023		Vinyl Album The Cornells - Beach Bound (1963)	A couple of cover misprints: The u in ”Agua” doesn’t make a complete loop, so it looks like a “j” Russ Regan misspelled side 1, track 6 All but one of the members are sons of Hollywood celebrities, the most well known probably the son of Art Linkletter, Bob Linkletter. Bob has been mired in controversy since his 1980 death in a car accident, including accusations that he was the Zodiac killer, had a hand in the Manson murders and involved somehow in the school bus abduction in 1976.(The Zodiac killer had threatened do do such a thing in one of his cryptic letters) One former female companion claimed he admitted to murders starting in 1966, and he wouldn’t be investigated because of hid Dad’s celebrity status.. The abduction of children though, if there’s any credibility there would have been the ultimate punch to the gut to his dad who hosted shows involving kids for decades. Bad enough his daughter Diane jumped (or was pushed) out of her 6th story apartment window in 1969. Again, these were allegations, some would consider these conspiracy theories. Peter Lewis would later be in Moby Grape
DeweyGill SUBS 30th Jun 2023		Vinyl Album Tex Williams - Country Music Time (1962)	Compilation of his mid to late ’50s Decca singles. Some of his best stuff, in my opinion. This version of “Air Mail Special” is top shelf Western Swing.
DeweyGill SUBS 21st Jun 2023		Vinyl Album Looking Glass - Looking Glass (1972)	Hype sticker added
DeweyGill SUBS 27th May 2023		Vinyl Album The Surfaris - Wipe Out And Surfer Joe (1963)	The “uncredited studio musicians” are reportedly the Challengers who Richard Delvy likely provided to Dot. Delvy owned Princess records which had issued the “Wipe Out” single before making the deal with Dot. “Surfer Joe”was the original Princess A side, but when “Wipe Out” got traction Dot made it the A side. “Surfer Joe” in turn started getting airplay as well once the Dot single took off, probably resulting in the change of the album cover design. I’m thinking the cover with the smaller print might be earlier, with the hype sticker added to existing cover before the design change.
DeweyGill SUBS 24th May 2023		Vinyl Album Peter And Gordon - Woman (1966)	Added contest sticker attached to mono copy. Looks like a ‘66 roadster
DeweyGill SUBS 29th Apr 2023		Vinyl Album Edie Adams - Edie Adams (1959)	Added images
