FredClemens 5th Sep 2016		Vinyl Album Bing Crosby - Merry Christmas (1963)	Via Discog's, copies of this specific LP have been sold (or offered) for up to $20.00 (US). Via Musicstack, copies of the same have been sold for under $5.00. There are no evident recent sales via Ebay. How much is it worth to YOU...? And just so you understand: This website is not a site to sell or to buy. Update October 11, 2020 I've run across serious errors in some existing listings on 45cat. If you could allow me to post there, I can show you where those errors are. This concerns a recent purchase I'd made only yesterday, and up to now, the information has been misgiven on both entries, Fred
FredClemens 17th Mar 2016		Vinyl Album Les McCann - Tall, Dark And Handsome (1979)	Why were images input upside-down...???

FredClemens 1st Nov 2015		Vinyl Album The Crests Featuring Johnny Mastro - The Best Of The Crests 16 Fabulous Hits	Another point is that much of the Composer credit is out of order from what is depicted on the labels. For what it's worth, the original release of this LP dates from late 1960, that based on the RCA masters used. Fred
FredClemens 1st Nov 2015		Vinyl Album The Crests Featuring Johnny Mastro - The Best Of The Crests 16 Fabulous Hits	This listing would clearly (to me) qualify as a Bootleg/Repro listing. Obvious points include the lack of LPC-904 on the bottom right corner of the front cover, as well as STEREO LPCS over MONAURAL LPC (separated with a line) 904 to the immediate left of the COED name on the back cover slick. Another (not so obvious) point is that the original sleeve fold-over on top would have STEREO printed but hidden beneath the back slick. While no copies of this release were ever issued in Stereo, they left it open for the possibility (the label decided not to). I've heard a story decades ago of an actual sleeve laid out with the STEREO word exposed on the front, but the jacket contained only the MONO issue. With STEREO showing, the LPC-904 would have been hidden in the back. Fred
FredClemens 18th Sep 2013		Vinyl Album Various Artists - The Greatest Golden Goodies (1962)	The RCA numbers are the same as on the Mono issue (with a "P" following the "8" instead of "Y"), though it's a safe bet that this was issued much later. My MONO edition spells it "Demensions" on both jacket and label. At the earliest this would be a late 1960's re-issue, given the placement and design/colors of the jacket LAURIE logo. Definitely not 1962. Update October 11, 2020 I've run across serious errors in some existing listings on 45cat. If you could allow me to post there, I can show you where those errors are. This concerns a recent purchase I'd made only yesterday, and up to now, the information has been misgiven on both entries, Fred
