djraggy 16th Mar 2024		Vinyl Album Paper Lace - The Paper Lace Collection (1974)	Reissue of "The Best Of Paper Lace" (Hallmark SHM 868) and "First Edition" (Contour 6870 637)
djraggy 22nd Feb 2021		Vinyl Album Various Artists - Space Invasion (1980)	The editing on "Messages" was rather awkward to say the least.
djraggy 24th Feb 2018		Vinyl Album The Hollies - Hallo, The Hollies (1978)	According to forum posts on the Hollies' official site, the rights to the recordings from 1963 - 65 would have been owned by EMI (They're now owned by Warner Music Group) while recordings made from "For Certain Because" onwards were owned by "The Hollies Ltd" and licensed to EMI.
djraggy 5th Jan 2018		Vinyl Album Art Blakey And The Jazz Messengers - Drum Suite (2017)	Initial copies were mispressed as "Jaco Pastorius" by Jaco Pastorius. DeAgostini later confirmed that re-pressings would be available for sale online, and for those subscribers who request a replacement for their mispressed copy.
djraggy 15th Dec 2017		Vinyl Album Dinah Washington - In The Land Of Hi-Fi (2017)	We've reached the half-way point of the collection then!
djraggy 6th Dec 2017		Vinyl Album Ahmad Jamal Trio - Ahmad Jamal At The Pershing (2017)	It should be noted that Argo Records in this instance was an offshoot of Chess records in the U.S., and not the label distributed by Decca in the UK.
djraggy 24th Oct 2017		Vinyl Album Rain Featuring Stephanie De Sykes - Rain Featuring Stephanie De Sykes (1974)	"Golden Day" was used as the theme song for the final series of "The Golden Shot" when Bob Monkhouse returned to present it.
djraggy 20th Jul 2017		Vinyl Album John Stewart - Bombs Away Dream Babies (1979)	eil.com have this in stock at the moment. According to them the actual UK catalogue number is RSS 6, so I'd suggest that this entry goes under "international" for the time being until we know exactly where this one originated.
djraggy 29th Apr 2017		Vinyl Album Louis Armstrong And His All-Stars - Louis Armstrong Plays W.C. Handy (2017)	Nice touch with the period label design
djraggy 18th Apr 2017		Vinyl Album Miles Davis - Kind Of Blue	With that catalogue number it looks as though this is a duplicate of the European issue from 2007
djraggy 19th Jan 2017		Vinyl Album Harry Secombe - If I Ruled The World (1971)	I have several Contour LPs from around that time, so my guess would be around 1972 for the year of release. Don't forget as well, the "6870" series was running concurrently with the "2870" releases in the early to mid 70s, before distribution of Contour was taken over by Pickwick international, who re-issued the albums with a "CN" catalogue number.
djraggy 13th Dec 2016		Vinyl Album Dusty Springfield - A Girl Called Dusty (1974)	Virtually the same as Plilips BL.7594, but excludes "Mama Said" and "Nothing"
djraggy 24th Aug 2016		Vinyl Album Elvis Costello - Taking Liberties (1980)	A1 and B2 eventually released on the B-side of F-Beat single XX 12 ("Clubland")
djraggy 15th Jul 2016		Vinyl Album Art Blakey And The Jazz Messengers - Moanin' (2016)	Noticed that De Agostini have stopped using the more extravagant packaging on the later editions of "Jazz on 33 1/3"
djraggy 21st Jun 2016		Vinyl Album Charles Mingus - Mingus Ah Um (1959)	Recently released in the UK as part of De Agostini's "Jazz At 33 1/3" collection
djraggy 15th Jun 2016		Vinyl Album The Bee Gees - Bee Gees Bonanza (1978)	Double LP bringing together "In The Beginning...The Early Days" volumes 2 and 3. which had originally been released in the UK as "Rare Precious & Beautiful" volumes 1 & 2
djraggy 30th Apr 2016		Vinyl Album Elvis Presley - Elvis Sings Hits From His Movies (1978)	This would have been a mid-to-late 70s pressing, as by this time RCA Camden albums were branded simply as "Camden"
djraggy 26th Apr 2016		Vinyl Album Vikki Carr - For Once In My Life (1969)	The blue (manufactured by Philips records) labels would have indeed been first, the black labels (Liberty/UA records) being introduced around July 1970.
djraggy 25th Apr 2016		Vinyl Album Graduate - Acting My Age (1986)	This edition actually released in 1986 to cash in on Tears For Fears' success with "Songs From The Big Chair".
djraggy 7th Apr 2016		Vinyl Album Madonna - The First Album (1985)	I believe it is.
djraggy 28th Jan 2016		Vinyl Album Miles Davis - Kind Of Blue (2016)	To answer sladesounds' question they already have the next few LPs lined up: John Coltrane - Blue Train; Billie Holiday - Lady In Satin; Charlie Parker - Now's The Time; Dave Brubeck Quartet - Time Out
djraggy 25th Jan 2016		Vinyl Album Miles Davis - Kind Of Blue (2016)	If I were to be honest, the idea behind the collection is a good one - particularly looking forward to the Billie Holiday and Dave Brubeck albums while the John Coltrane LP will be the first time I've heard anything by him.
djraggy 15th Dec 2015		Vinyl Album The Beatles - Please Please Me (2014)	Nice touch with the peroid-style labels there.
djraggy 19th Oct 2015		Vinyl Album Cliff Richard - Rock 'n' Roll Juvenile (1979)	I could have sworn this was released in 1979, as "We Don't Talk Anymore" was a number 1 single around that time.
djraggy 4th Jul 2015		Vinyl Album Japan - Quiet Life (1982)	I'd be inclined to put the date as 1982. Any U.K. Fame releases from around 1984 onward would have catalogue numbers starting "FA 41"
djraggy 27th Jun 2015		Vinyl Album Eddie Cochran - Cherished Memories (1962)	"Let's Get Together" is essentially "C'mon Everybody" with slightly altered lyrics
djraggy 5th Jun 2015		Vinyl Album Kelvin Henderson - Slow Movin' Outlaw & Other Country Songs (1977)	Originally released in 1975 on Windmill Records WMD 250
djraggy 25th Apr 2015		Vinyl Album The Motors - The Motors (1978)	I've seen labels from other versions where, instead of the title in the usual place, they've used the ink-stamp style logo seen on the sleeve, so I would assume that the LP would still be referred to as "Approved By The Motors" According to other websites, the Swedish release of the album is actually a UK-pressed disc, but the sleeve is printed in Sweden.
djraggy 24th Oct 2014		Vinyl Album Ultravox - U-Vox (1986)	Initial copies came with a PVC outer sleeve.
djraggy 24th Oct 2014		Vinyl Album Ultravox - The Collection (1984)	Also came in a limited edition double LP in single sleeve featuring 6 extended remixes on the second disc.
