Fokeman 25th Oct 2023		Vinyl Album John McCluskey - Fitba' Crazy (1973)	Almost certainly produced by Jim McLean, who appears to have co-written many of the songs.
Fokeman 25th Oct 2023		Vinyl Album Jacqui And Bridie - Hello Friend (1973)	The shock and awe of seeing Ewan MacColl's name spelled correctly is tempered by the spelling of Martyn Wyndham-Read as Martin Wyndham-Reed. Alan Hull too, has an unusual presentation of his name.
Fokeman 25th Oct 2023		Vinyl Album Alastair MacDonald - Music Of The Highlands (1977)	Despite the fact that he is know almost universally as Alastair McDonald elsewhere, Emerald made the mistake of giving him the Scottish MacDonald spelling of his family name. This disc now added to his discography.
Fokeman 23rd Oct 2023		Vinyl Album Quatuor Kedroff - Quatuor Kedroff (1957)	Issued in 1957. I have a signed copy by the artists; signed and dated April 1958 the following year to its release.
Fokeman 23rd Oct 2023		Vinyl Album Milkways - Galactic Reaction (1978)	This is clearly a Barclay LP with distribution by Movie Play. The label is Barclay not Movieplay. Even the publishing rights are owned by Justine Melody / Barclay and not by Movieplay.
Fokeman 23rd Oct 2023		Vinyl Album The Ian Campbell Folk Group - The Ian Campbell Folk Group (1969)	Would it be possible to put the rear of sleeve image up please?
Fokeman 22nd Oct 2023		Vinyl Album Pierre Machon - Goulebenèze (1960)	Also came out eleven years later on Agorila. AG 30.16 but with another 5 tracks added.
Fokeman 22nd Oct 2023		Vinyl Album Free - Free Live! (1971)	The third label is the orange label, green tree and blue sea.
Fokeman 21st Oct 2023		Vinyl Album Marcel Dadi - La Guitare A Dadi (1973)	This cover has the Transatlantic catalogue number on it. So it belongs with another version (image now moved. mod.)
Fokeman 17th Oct 2023		Vinyl Album Kanerien Bro Leon Landivizio - Toussaint En Bretagne	I believe that this might have also been issued by Mouez-Breiz. Can anyone confirm?
Fokeman 14th Oct 2023		Vinyl Album Carmen - Fandangos In Space (1973)	There's also a relationship with Jethro Tull, given their bass player John Glascock and a similar change of tempo that regularly occurs in Thick As A Brick and Passion Play.
Fokeman 5th Oct 2023		Vinyl Album The Nashville Gamblers - The Original Country & Western Music (1967)	My issue might make the yellow label the 4th issue rather than the 3rd?
Fokeman 5th Oct 2023		Vinyl Album The Nashville Gamblers - The Original Country & Western Music (1967)	Another variant has the red & white label with writing going around the top as with the yellow label. The artists seem to be The Nashville Gamblers - The Westward Wanderers Perhaps two groups? Perhaps one?
Fokeman 5th Oct 2023		Vinyl Album Fist [UK] - Back With A Vengeance (1982)	My copy has blue NEAT RECORDS writing. Other colours may exist...
Fokeman 13th Sep 2023		Vinyl Album Various Artists - Siros (1971)	It's always a problem when the sleeve details don't really match at all the labels. There are different names given for the groups and for the track listing.
Fokeman 25th Aug 2023		Vinyl Album Raymond Smyth And The Raheny Band - Golden Memories Of Our Land (1982)	Labels were clearly borrowed from the stock which was used by Outlet & Homespun.
Fokeman 22nd Aug 2023		Vinyl Album Louis Killen, Johnny Handle And Colin Ross - Along The Coaly Tyne (1968)	These recordings were originally issued by Topic in 1962 on a number of their EPs. This issue however, dates from about 1968. The blue label wasn't introduced til 1964 and I think this must be 1968 or 1969 at latest.
Fokeman 19th Aug 2023		Vinyl Album Jim McCann - Jim McCann (1980)	This LP was late in the catalogue so had the brown label to begin with and then since it remained in catalogue, also went onto the later white label. Both issues were on the hessian-textured sleeve.
Fokeman 18th Aug 2023		Vinyl Album Max Pinchard - Office Pour Une Communauté Paroissiale	I'm assuming MR told the catalogue what kind of record it was. "Messe Réligieuse" I think, perhaps.
Fokeman 18th Aug 2023		Vinyl Album [no artist listed] - Celtic And Proud Of It Cup Celebration (1969)	Although no name is given on the LP label or sleeve, it is, in fact Hugh McNeil who sings on this LP.
Fokeman 15th Aug 2023		Vinyl Album [no artist listed] - Marching On The Twelfth With Famous Ulster Bands (1975)	I don't think they're all double albums (see DULP 10). I've just incorporated Soccer Records within the Ulster label, which is a bit odd because it is a Scottish football double LP. Then again, it's Glasgow which is a bit of an extension of Northern Ireland if you know the history of the two football clubs found there. Bearing in mind that almost all of the records on the back of the sleeve are on the Outlet label, we're no' doin' bad! I see on the back of the sleeve, the Outlet label mostly but there are also the other sub-labels of Praise (we already have many of those) and Homespun. The latter label had well over a hundred LPs so we have some way to go but we've already made a good start.
Fokeman 15th Aug 2023		Vinyl Album Hughie Gallagher And Hugh McNeil - Celtic We Are The Bhoys (1975)	The catalogue number belongs to a specific label owned by Outlet. It was the Ulster label and so with this catalogue number it fits neatly within the Ulster label. I'll add links and incorporate Soccer Records within the Ulster label.
Fokeman 9th Aug 2023		Vinyl Album Per Guillou Et Yann Peron - 1ère Prix Au Concours Des Sonneurs Des Fêtes De Cornouaille 1961 (1961)	Here known as Per Guillou but on other Mouez Breiz records he is also known as Pierre Guillou. Per is the Breton for Pierre, obvs.
Fokeman 27th Jun 2023		Vinyl Album Mike Whellans - Swing Time Johnny Red (1990)	RIP Mike Whellans
Fokeman 27th Jun 2023		Vinyl Album Mike Whellans - Dirt Water Fox (1976)	RIP Mike Whellans
Fokeman 3rd Jun 2023		Vinyl Album Jethro Tull - Broadsword And The Beast (1982)	GEMA, STEMRA - Germany and Netherlands GEMA, STEMRA, BIEM, Germany, Netherlands, Belgium and France too.
Fokeman 18th May 2023		Vinyl Album Jan Dukes De Grey - Mice And Rats In The Loft (1971)	Numerically, I think it was Gian Paolo. I've never seen the purple logo on this record. However it's difficult to say in which exact order the records were issued since it doesn't automatically follow the numerical order of the catalogue number.
Fokeman 14th May 2023		Vinyl Album The Left Banke - And Suddenly It's... (1984)	Yes, definitely a new entry needed...
Fokeman 13th May 2023		Vinyl Album Motörhead - No Sleep 'til Hammersmith (1981)	I've got a feeling that although these red labels were made in France, it was actually for the UK market. If it was made late on, UK labels used France to make their records to be sold in the UK. The French issue would have been on the yellow Bronze label with SACEM rights collection badge. (Red labels now moved to the UK version) Note that the French issue never had BRON as a prefix.
Fokeman 13th May 2023		Vinyl Album Motörhead - Beer Drinkers (1982)	This is a duplicate which was originally created in 2014. The two have now been merged.
