Dr Doom SUBS ● 10th Feb 2020		Vinyl Album Peggy Lee - Mirrors (1975)	[YouTube Video]
Dr Doom SUBS ● 10th Feb 2020		Vinyl Album Peggy Lee - Mirrors (1975)	[YouTube Video]
Dr Doom SUBS ● 10th Feb 2020		Vinyl Album Peggy Lee - Mirrors (1975)	UK issue added. As you can see it looks like US sleeves were imported by A&M for the UK issue possibly due to the reflective sleeve's high production costs.
Dr Doom SUBS ● 17th Jan 2020		Vinyl Album The Grateful Dead - The Workingman's Dead (1970)	Rear sleeve is upside down. Were US copies like this too? It surely must be deliberate?
Dr Doom SUBS ● 18th Mar 2019		Vinyl Album Various Artists - Qurbani (1979)	[YouTube Video]
Dr Doom SUBS ● 21st Feb 2019		Vinyl Album The Desperate Bicycles - Remorse Code (1979)	[YouTube Video]
Dr Doom SUBS ● 27th Nov 2018		Vinyl Album Don Rendell / Ian Carr Quintet - The Complete Lansdowne Recordings 1965 (2018)	Will add the other tracks once this arrives. Release is delayed and they seem to have underestimated demand too. My local shop ordered 100 and will be getting just 10 copies!
Dr Doom SUBS ● 4th Nov 2018		Vinyl Album The Pretty Things - Emotions (1967)	The copy I borrowed here has a UK printed sleeve but there are New Zealand printed sleeves too.
Dr Doom SUBS ● 4th Nov 2018		Vinyl Album Phil Ochs - Greatest Hits (1970)	The tracklisting on this UK original seems to have the sides reversed but only on the labels. They also list track 2 before side 1 so I'm guessing that the whole thing was a mistake?! I've chosen to follow the regular track listing on the sleeve in any case.
Dr Doom SUBS ● 6th Sep 2018		Vinyl Album Various Artists - Spider-Jazz (2018)	Sorry just saw this. My copy was from a shop yes
Dr Doom SUBS ● 14th Aug 2018		Vinyl Album Teenage Fanclub - Songs From Northern Britain (2018)	From the PR.... Limited 180gm vinyl LP pressing + seven inch single. The album has been remastered from the original tapes at Abbey Road Studios, London under the guidance of the band, and is packaged in a faithful re-production of the original vinyl artwork. The band has selected rarities to include on a 7" with the album. The album gave the band their highest ever UK Chart placing (#3) on release in 1997. Cited by Nick Hornby as one of his favorite albums in his book, 31 Songs, the album shifts focus to a cleaner pop sound than their previous albums, adding lush orchestrations to tracks like 'Planets' while retaining their ability to blend beautiful harmonies and gives it an optimistic and happy mood - as close to a summer album as they have made. Songs... is the sound of a band maturing and being totally comfortable with their own sound. It has a classic contemporary sound that ages extremely well and tracks like the UK Top 20 hit 'Ain't That Enough' and 'Your Love Is The Place Where I Come From' remain firm live favorites.
Dr Doom SUBS ● 29th Sep 2017		Vinyl Album Margaret Leebody - Mustard Seed Faith (1976)	Ha ha
Dr Doom SUBS ● 1st Sep 2017		Vinyl Album Various Artists - Jonny Trunk Presents... Funny Old Shit : A Trunk Records Sampler : Vol 1 (2014)	From the Trunk website.... Yes, a breathtaking load of killer cues form the Trunk catalogue of madness and badness. So, you get electronics, classical, jazz, weirdy film music, avant-garde, post punk, celebs singing, calypsos, blood marvelous and a right laugh to boot. And what a bargain!!!
Dr Doom SUBS ● 10th Aug 2017		Vinyl Album Harry Partch - The Bewitched (2013)	Description from the label website: Continuing our dedicated archival series of lost and hard to find experimental/jazz/avant-garde music the Cacophonic series presents our maiden voyage into a short run of radical theatrical performance music comprising electronic ballet scores, vanguard mimes and art installation soundtracks. This remastered reissue of The Bewitched is an important collector’s edition of a pioneering work of conceptual composition for mime and dance from self-taught and multi-disciplined American luminary Harry Partch. Based around the central character of a witch (vocalist Freda Schell-Pierce) this LP presents an early example of the unique aesthetic and social commentaries of Partch whose homebuilt and designed instruments would redefine scales as well as song structures and would progressively provide modern Western composition with some of the most idiosyncratic, beguiling and challenging music and sound poetry ever committed to vinyl. Originally pressed on his own Gate 5 imprint, this remastered vinyl issue is an exact facsimile of the rarest abridged edition of the original 1957 performance capturing Partch’s own ‘Chorus Of Lost Musicians’ – combining traditional kotos and marimbas alongside unique instruments such as the Chromelodeon and the Harmonic Canon. Subtitled as ‘A Dance Satire’ The Bewitched is housed in stunning seldom seen artwork including rare documents and photographs
Dr Doom SUBS ● 8th Aug 2017		Vinyl Album Mike And Lal Waterson - Bright Phoebus (1972)	I've included both 'Lal And Mike Waterson' and 'Mike And Lal Waterson' in the main Watersons discography with links back to 'The Watersons'. I think this is a good compromise.
Dr Doom SUBS ● 4th Aug 2017		Vinyl Album Billy Nicholls - Would You Believe (1968)	One of the most collectable UK LPs of all time. Copies have sold for as much as £8000!
Dr Doom SUBS ● 4th Aug 2017		Vinyl Album Stefano Mainetti - Zombi 3 : Original Soundtrack (2017)	[YouTube Video]
Dr Doom SUBS ● 4th Aug 2017		Vinyl Album Stefano Mainetti - Zombi 3 : Original Soundtrack (2017)	Review A game of two halves this one. Side 1 is a feast of foreboding synths, electro drum machine and demonic choirs. Really excellent stuff. Side 2 is an 80s pop cheese fest. On first listen I hated it compared to the first side but taken on it's own merits it's actually quite good fun. The original CD release of this soundtrack alternated between the Stefano Mainetti and Clue In The Crew tracks but I much prefer it done this way. Also a mention has to be made of the artwork etc. Another great reissue from W.R.W.T.F.W.W. which totally captures the 80s Horror/VHS style. 5 people found this review helpful. ✔︎ Helpful Review?
Dr Doom SUBS ● 24th Jul 2017		Vinyl Album Jumble Lane - Jumble Lane (1971)	[YouTube Video]
Dr Doom SUBS ● 20th Jul 2017		Vinyl Album Bachdenkel - Lemmings (1973)	The later UK issue of this (1978) was indeed an LP with a 7". I'll try and add it one day.......
Dr Doom SUBS ● 15th Apr 2017		Vinyl Album Marty Robbins - More Gunfighter Ballads And Trail Songs (1966)	CBS had moved to the 'sunburst' label by the mid seventies so the labels are certainly pre-1975. At a guess I'd say late 60s as the sleeve is not a flipback but is laminated.
Dr Doom SUBS ● 13th Apr 2017		Vinyl Album Paul And Linda McCartney - Ram (1971)	Thanks TopPopper. I've hidden the originals rather than delete so they are there for reference.
Dr Doom SUBS ● 29th Mar 2017		Vinyl Album Paul And Linda McCartney - Ram (1971)	Labels photos provided by the excellent Kenwood Lennon blog Ta' La'
Dr Doom SUBS ● 28th Mar 2017		Vinyl Album Phantom - Phantom's Divine Comedy (1974)	Looks mad. Is it as good as it looks?
Dr Doom SUBS ● 17th Mar 2017		Vinyl Album Gerry And The Holograms - Gerry And The Holograms (2017)	Any good? I really love the single but I'm a bit worried that an LP's worth may be too much!
Dr Doom SUBS ● 3rd Feb 2017		Vinyl Album Francis Monkman - The Long Good Friday : Original Soundtrack Music (1983)	Amazingly this album features Bob Hoskins trying his hand at Reggae.... [YouTube Video]
Dr Doom SUBS ● 3rd Feb 2017		Vinyl Album Francis Monkman - The Long Good Friday : Original Soundtrack Music (1983)	If you look closely at the back of the sleeve you can see that a piece of black paper has been stuck over where the number should be. This copy was bought secondhand so whether it's a promo copy or the previous owner decided to cover up the number I do not know?!
Dr Doom SUBS ● 27th Jan 2017		Vinyl Album MC 5 - Back In The USA (2013)	I'll have to give this reissue a go. I have a 70s UK copy and as you say the sound is very trebly/weedy which doesn't do justice to the great tracks.
Dr Doom SUBS ● 26th Jan 2017		Vinyl Album Kraftwerk - Autobahn	I think it should still be linked. Pretty nice bootleg! : )
Dr Doom SUBS ● 25th Jan 2017		Vinyl Album Kraftwerk - Autobahn (1974)	Yes that sounds like the best idea.
