GimmeVinyl 18th Mar 2020		Vinyl Album Various Artists - Stars Sing Lennon & McCartney (1970)	Love the album jacket... ;-)
GimmeVinyl 16th Mar 2020		Vinyl Album The Beatles / The Four Seasons - The Beatles Vs. The Four Seasons (1964)	Both LPs are great LPs in their own right.. but to me comparing The Beatles to The Four Seasons is like comparing an apple to a banana. I like them both but are not the same!
GimmeVinyl 15th Mar 2020		Vinyl Album The Beatles - Something New (1964)	This Canadian purple label... From 1978?
GimmeVinyl 14th Feb 2020		Vinyl Album Various Artists - Backtrack Five (1970)	What a cool album! Would have never happened here in the States. Hendrix was on the Reprise label here, an The Who was on U.S. Decca...
GimmeVinyl 14th Feb 2020		Vinyl Album [no artist listed] - Hot Hits 12 (1972)	I like the album jacket..
GimmeVinyl 24th Jan 2020		Vinyl Album Various Artists - Cruisin' 1961 (1983)	I've noticed my copy of Cruisin' 1962 is different than the 1970 release. It seems shorter, like it's missing a couple songs. I'll have to pull it out and take a look.
GimmeVinyl 19th Jan 2020		Vinyl Album Gene Pitney - Greatest Hits Of All Times (1966)	Looks like I'll have to dig out my copy for the A side label..
GimmeVinyl 17th Jan 2020		Vinyl Album Various Artists - Christine (1983)	Hmm.. old thread but.. Yeah, seeing as none of the tracks on this LP are Motown, yet it's on the Motown label does make you think.. But! Keep in mind that Christine was a 1958 Plymouth Belvedere (NOT a Fury..) and played music from 1958.. Not even Barrett Strong's "Money" on Tamla would have made it onto the playlist, not being released until August, 1959..
GimmeVinyl 17th Jan 2020		Vinyl Album The Honeydrippers - Volume One (1984)	And... Paul Shaffer (best known as keyboardist from Late Night with David Letterman), and Brian Setzer!
GimmeVinyl 16th Jan 2020		Vinyl Album Elvis Presley - Elvis' Golden Records (1962)	Also released as cat number AFL1-1707(E)
GimmeVinyl 16th Jan 2020		Vinyl Album Elvis Presley - Elvis' Golden Records Volume 3 (1963)	Also released as AFL1-2765.
GimmeVinyl 15th Jan 2020		Vinyl Album The Hardly-Worthit Players - The Hardly-Worthit Report (1967)	This sounds like it would be a hilarious LP...
GimmeVinyl 15th Jan 2020		Vinyl Album Bobby Rydell - Chubby Checker (1962)	After decades of seeing this on the US Cameo label, it cracks me up to see it on the UK Columbia label...
GimmeVinyl 15th Jan 2020		Vinyl Album Bobby Rydell - Chubby Checker (1961)	If anything, the track Your Hits And Mine was worth purchasing this LP. Sure, there's other tunes on here that are worth a listen, but Chubby did a pretty good job singing Bobby's tunes.
GimmeVinyl 12th Jan 2020		Vinyl Album The Rolling Stones - The Rolling Stones (1964)	Say, Magic Marmalade... You'll have to show me that trick of fixing skipping grooves.. I have a copy of Motown Collection Of 16 Big Hits Vol. 5 in mono.. MT-651. There's a skip on the second track on the A side..Marvin Gaye's How Sweet It Is... What magnification did you use? I have my trusty X-Acto knife with a fresh #11 blade..
GimmeVinyl 12th Jan 2020		Vinyl Album Various Artists - Collection Of 16 Big Hits Vol. 5 (1966)	Also in stereo, MS-651...
GimmeVinyl 10th Jan 2020		Vinyl Album The Moody Blues - Days Of Future Passed (1968)	I really couldn't imagine listening to this LP in mono.. although my Scott 299D does have a mono setting...
GimmeVinyl 10th Jan 2020		Vinyl Album The Moody Blues - Days Of Future Passed (1968)	I just picked up a copy of this.. jacket isn't too shabby.. vinyl in gorgeous shape! The label is the first set.. without writer credits. An original pressing?? Not bad for $7!!! Playing Tuesday Afternoon...omg, this sounds awesome! No clicks, no pops.. wow....this LP will be 52 years old?
GimmeVinyl 10th Jan 2020		Vinyl Album The Beatles - Help! (2012)	Ok.. take a look at my pics.. mine states MADE IN EU.. there was a little sticker proclaiming Made In Germany.. is my copy the UK release? This one does have me scratching my head.. because the jacket states Digital remaster copyright 2009.. also copyright 2012 EMI Records Ltd.. not Capitol Records. Also, there's no listing for this particular issue under the UK Parlophone listings...and it's not the 2017 DeAgnostini release. Does my copy warrant a new listing?
GimmeVinyl 10th Jan 2020		Vinyl Album The Beatles - Rubber Soul (2012)	Pics of the latest issue pressing.. notice the cat number has been shortened.
GimmeVinyl 10th Jan 2020		Vinyl Album The Beatles - Help! (2012)	Just bought this today..she's on the turntable as I write this. Pics of the new label as soon as the B side is over! I broke down and bought this because I missed out on a very clean UK Help in mono...grrr .. and yes, it was an original '65 pressing.. and not a 66-69 repress. You can tell by the song list font.
GimmeVinyl 10th Jan 2020		Vinyl Album The Beatles - The Early Beatles (1971)	Ok... So I was at my local record store.. and came across two copies of the "Early Beatles" LP. One, on the Apple label, was super clean, and priced at $22.99. the other, was still factory sealed in the cellophane. The jackets of the two LPs were identical.. but.. how can you tell if it's an Apple release, or an orange Capitol, or a earlier green Capitol, or a later purple Capitol? Personally, I'm not going to plunk down $29.99 for an orange label Capitol..
GimmeVinyl 9th Jan 2020		Vinyl Album The Beatles - Rarities	Oh boy... Did I get a right laugh!! This LP.. used, mind you.. is selling for $45-57 on Amazon.. a "new".. supposedly.. copy is listing at.. $119-200??? It's sealed.. yet there's pics of the LP? Huh!
GimmeVinyl 8th Jan 2020		Vinyl Album The Yardbirds - The Yardbirds Collection (1986)	I have this! Let me snap some pics...
GimmeVinyl 6th Jan 2020		Vinyl Album Redd Foxx - The Both Sides Of Redd Foxx (1966)	You can go ahead and laugh if you want to... People won't be able to see you on the record..
GimmeVinyl 6th Jan 2020		Vinyl Album Don Bexley With Dave Turner - Laff Of The Party Volume 8 (1957)	Man... I'd love to hear this!
GimmeVinyl 6th Jan 2020		Vinyl Album Various Artists - WKNR Oldies But Goodies	This is the first of at least 4 of oldies but goodies LPs that AM 1310 WKNR Detroit put out in the mid to late 60s. A little checking may be in order, but these LPs may have been packaged and pressed by Original Sound record label. The font and the song layout on the bottom of the back side of the jacket is highly reminiscent of their oldies but goodies series of LPs.
GimmeVinyl 6th Jan 2020		Vinyl Album Sonny Boy Williamson [II] - The Real Folk Blues (1987)	I "borrowed" the scans from somewhere else.. sorry if they aren't as clear as my usual pics...
GimmeVinyl 5th Jan 2020		Vinyl Album The Beatles - Help! (1965)	I'd seen a copy of Help in mono on Parlophone at a local record store here in Michigan.. pretty clean shape. I find it just a little hard for me to pull the trigger on this one, at $29.95.. even though I'd prefer this over the US Capitol pressing in Stereo. What year did Parlophone phase out this mono release?
GimmeVinyl 5th Jan 2020		Vinyl Album The Beatles - Please Please Me (2012)	Hmm.. having trouble finding this at the local record stores.. I may have to settle for the Capitol Early Beatles LP... Even though it's missing Misery.. I have There's A Place.. the B side of the Tollie single of Twist And Shout.. and of course I Saw Her Standing There. I'd even settle for a bootleg copy of the Vee Jay Introducing The Beatles...
