Fokeman ● 23rd Jun 2024		Vinyl Album Gallow Glass Ceili Band - Irish Dance Time (1980)	There's some lovely music on there even if it's a horrible cheap reissue. The Pickwick (Hallmark) issue came out in 1970.

Fokeman ● 23rd Jun 2024		Vinyl Album Gallow Glass Ceili Band - Irish Dance Time (1980)	This is a 1980s reissue. 1970 is the original publishing date.
Fokeman ● 19th Jun 2024		Vinyl Album A. L. Lloyd , Martyn Wyndham Reade, Trevor Lucas - The Great Australian Legend (1971)	Of course Martyn Wyndham Read is incorrectly spelled here with an extra "e" added to his surname.
Fokeman ● 19th Jun 2024		Vinyl Album Various Artists - Don't Leave Me Here	We already have a version of this. So this is a duplicate. It's true it is a reissue but it has the same catalogue number as the same release which is the original. In this case we usually simply add the images to the original, unless this comes from a specific release at a later date.
Fokeman ● 8th Jun 2024		Vinyl Album Status Quo - Piledriver (1973)	It certainly came in a Spanish printed sleeve. The Catalogue Number in Spain was always spaced out and this is what marks it out as being original. It says Stereo 63 60 082 with spaces thus. This is slightly odd because Stereo in Spanish is Estereo.
Fokeman ● 26th May 2024		Vinyl Album Pierre Spiers - À L'Orgue Hammond (1971)	My suspicion is, given the catalogue number and assuming they were issued in some kind of numerical order, that this date is much too early.
Fokeman ● 26th May 2024		Vinyl Album Tommy Larson - Piano Bastringue (1974)	I don't think these images of something in Swedish are meant to accompany this French LP. Looks like a complete mismatch. It looks like a discussion of the Bhagavad Gita in Swedish. Difficult to think of anything with less of a link. Just because it was slipped in the cover when you bought (or found) the record, doesn't mean it's relevant.
Fokeman ● 25th May 2024		Vinyl Album Status Quo - Piledriver (1975)	The labels showing are from the 1980s probably 1980 or 1981, not from 1975.
Fokeman ● 24th May 2024		Vinyl Album Ac Eraill - Diwedd Y Gân (1979)	Given the Catalogue number and the fact that SAIN is Welsh not German, it would probably be more correct to say that this is on the ANVIL label. I know that the SAIN logo shows large but it is clearly a German (label) later issue of the Welsh group (by arrangement with SAIN). The Sain issue dates from 1976 - 3 years earlier.
Fokeman ● 24th May 2024		Vinyl Album Frank Hennessy - Thoughts & Memories (1987)	Since they have used the SAIN numbering system, it is correct to consider this more of a Sain issue than a Cambrian issue.
Fokeman ● 16th May 2024		Vinyl Album Black Sabbath - Sabotage (1975)	This record has the 1975 date from the original release but was issued in this form (black painted labels) in about 1980.
Fokeman ● 15th May 2024		Vinyl Album Folk Friends - Folk Friends (1978)	I don't understand why this was added when it had already been added in 2018. This is a duplicate.
Fokeman ● 15th May 2024		Vinyl Album Ape, Beck Und Brinkmann - Regenbogenland (1982)	Label information is FF 1009. I can only see the front cover where it says FF 40 1009. All others in the series just use the 1000 series number.
Fokeman ● 8th May 2024		Vinyl Album Various Artists - The Walls Of Limerick (1962)	ZT price code on the centre of the label indicates a 1962 release.
Fokeman ● 5th May 2024		Vinyl Album Wrex Tarr - Futi Chilapalapa (1981)	The (P) only appeared on the rear of sleeve and was likely a price code. It was not part of the catalogue number and did not appear on the label. It is also not part of the pattern of catalogue numbers used elsewhere by the label.
Fokeman ● 5th May 2024		Vinyl Album Mary Sandeman - Introducing Mary Sandeman (1979)	Recorded at REL Studios, as was her album as Aneka.
Fokeman ● 5th May 2024		Vinyl Album Various Artists - Bonn Oir '65 (1966)	Note the two albums uploaded so far both contain the singing of Aneka when she was plain "Mary Sandeman".
Fokeman ● 1st May 2024		Vinyl Album Judas Priest - Sad Wings Of Destiny (1976)	I've darkened the Pye Distribution as there is almost no contrast between the white and the light blue to allow it to be read.
Fokeman ● 29th Apr 2024		Vinyl Album Quintessence - Quintessence (1970)	On my copy both sides are half open but I don't know how you can put the record in both half sides. So I suppose you just slide it in one side and then hide it behind the sleeve on the other side.
Fokeman ● 29th Apr 2024		Vinyl Album Richie Thomas - Yr Hen Rebel (1974)	Cursèd autocorrect! ;-)
Fokeman ● 27th Apr 2024		Vinyl Album Roy Harper - HQ (1975)	the_whistler wrote: Band features Chris Spedding, Bill Bruford and John Paul Jones-not bad. ... not to mention Dave Gilmour, Steve Broughton, David Bedford and Ray Warleigh! Only the best!
Fokeman ● 26th Apr 2024		Vinyl Album Hogia'r Wyddfa - Caneuon Gorau Hogia'r Wyddfa (1975)	It was obviously important for SAIN because right at the beginning of the LP series, they put H before they even put the catalogue number. On a more pedantic note, the plural of suffix is suffixes.
Fokeman ● 25th Apr 2024		Vinyl Album Boy And Bear - Boy & Bear (2023)	Hi Robert, the best idea is to download Paint.net (a free program) which is relatively simple to use and for which we have already loaded instructions. This works best with Windows computers. If you have a Mac, then there are other programs which can do the job. If you are doing it all from your phone then it might be most simple to crop square and let someone else or a moderator trim your labels from square to round. Feel free to contact me via the message service to ask for advice.
Fokeman ● 25th Apr 2024		Vinyl Album Hogia'r Wyddfa - Caneuon Gorau Hogia'r Wyddfa (1975)	Can any Welsh-speaking SAIN experts tell us what the difference between D and H is? I'm assuming Stereo / Mono? Later issues were H and earlier issues D but this says D & Stereo? Is it therefore an error on the label rather than an error on the sleeve? Looking at Hogia' Wyddfa their LPs went D, H, D, D, H. So there doesn't seem to be rhyme or reason in this letter unless it was linked to price or genre? #The Judge, can you help?
Fokeman ● 25th Apr 2024		Vinyl Album Richie Thomas - Yr Hen Rebel (1974)	My knowledge of Welsh (cymraig) is sufficient to tell me that this is an album called "The Old Rebel". I thank you.
Fokeman ● 24th Apr 2024		Vinyl Album The Spinners [UK] - The Family Of Man (1966)	[YouTube Video]
Fokeman ● 24th Apr 2024		Vinyl Album Paul And Glen - Paul & Glen (1972)	Track B2 was also performed by The (Liverpool) Spinners as "Asikatali" so perhaps both attempts were wrongly rendered by whoever wrote the sleeve or label information. [YouTube Video]
Fokeman ● 24th Apr 2024		Vinyl Album [no artist listed] - Exotic Dances (1950)	I'm now dubious of this 1950 date. That was probably an earlier 78rpm issue. This is more likely to date from quite a bit later as a 33 1/3rpm issue.
Fokeman ● 24th Apr 2024		Vinyl Album Uncle Dave Macon - Uncle Dave Macon (1963)	A later issue exists with a blue cover and blue label. This newer issue has a 1967 publishing date on the label.
