gregs45s SUBS 2nd Jul 2023		Vinyl Album Lucas D'Alberto - Exile (2018)	Temporary images only as this one's still sealed, feel free to replace any/all scans. (Neo-Classical, part Electronic)
gregs45s SUBS 17th Jun 2023		Vinyl Album Pas Chic Chic - Au Contraire (2008)	Temporary images only as this one's still sealed, feel free to replace any/all scans. "Debut Album From Montreal Quintet Featuring Former Members Of Godspeed You! Black Emperor, Set Fire To Flames, Fly Pan Am And Cursed."
gregs45s SUBS 15th Jun 2023		Vinyl Album The Young Tradition - The Young Tradition (1966)	With a nod to wordnwot, sladesounds, a label variant added, same content, different layout.
gregs45s SUBS 15th Jun 2023		Vinyl Album The Pentangle - Basket Of Light (1969)	There are 5 versions of the original 1969 UK release (using TRA 205) on Discogs, and 5 versions of later repress/reissues from 1970 on, the 5 original '69 releases and 2 of the later reissues carry the same spelling mistake on the inner gatefold "All The Instruments Played On This Album Are Accoustic", only three of the later reissues have corrected it to "Acoustic". A Good album, my pressing has some crackles at the beginning, but looking around this seems to be common, and is something to do with the pressing i think.
gregs45s SUBS 9th Jun 2023		Vinyl Album The Alan Parsons Project - Ammonia Avenue (1984)	With a nod to all involved, a label variation added which has no rights below Arista logo, cover and inner sleeve matches those shown exactly.
gregs45s SUBS 7th Jun 2023		Vinyl Album Andrew Powell And The Philharmonia Orchestra - Play The Best Of The Alan Parsons Project (1983)	With a nod to wordnwot, Kosmos, label scans added.
gregs45s SUBS 7th Jun 2023		Vinyl Album Steve Winwood - Arc Of A Diver (1980)	Added blue "Diver" labels. They were the first i think. (also has a white inner sleeve, but my copy is too tatty to scan)
gregs45s SUBS 7th Jun 2023		Vinyl Album The Steve Miller Band - Children Of The Future (1973)	Added a VERY minor label variant "Capitol TM" instead of "R".
gregs45s SUBS 7th Jun 2023		Vinyl Album Robin Trower - Bridge Of Sighs (1974)	Added later repress labels with rim text. (cover matches scans shown exactly)
gregs45s SUBS 15th May 2023		Vinyl Album Ustad Ali Akbar Khan, Pandit Chatur Lal, Shirish Gor - Music Of India	Unsure of the date on this one, mid '50's i think, but Discogs does not have this one yet and the labels/back text layout differs to this one.
gregs45s SUBS 11th May 2023		Vinyl Album Jose Mangual Jr Y Orquesta - Mangual (1980)	Possibly the roughest cover i've added?, some small furry creatures have been at this one ;), please!, feel free to replace scans;). (Ironically, the vinyl is nr mint)
gregs45s SUBS 8th May 2023		Vinyl Album Chet Baker - Chet (2020)	A recent buy at a local independent record store which i got for £12 sealed, which is not bad compared to the recent Kevin Gray remaster's in Stereo and, this year in Mono for RSD. I can confirm that this non-remaster, sounds great, and i'd like to find someone who has just bought the 2023 RSD to compare, but, for now, i'm quite happy with this one. (As a side note, talking to 3 local independant record stores, they all said that the wholesale price for new vinyl releases was going to rise to the £28 to £30 mark!, which means they will have to price them at a £35 to £38-£40 range!, Gulp!, even more for doubles/triples of course. Which is why i am now trying to seek out those early AAD CD's, which can sound really good compared to some "flat" vinyl remasters, much cheaper ;)
gregs45s SUBS 1st May 2023		Vinyl Album Miriam Makeba - Pata Pata (1971)	With a nod to 55bluesman, Trester, added scans of the 1973 reissue labels.
gregs45s SUBS 20th Mar 2023		Vinyl Album Glenn Miller And His Army Air Force Orchestra - I Sustain The Wings Shows (1984)	Oops, no, my bad, it looks like Jasmine was a UK label, it was just that a couple of these LP's were on sale on ebay, and they were both being sold from the U.S. Doh!, so, your copyright theory sounds right, cheers!
gregs45s SUBS 20th Mar 2023		Vinyl Album Glenn Miller And His Army Air Force Orchestra - I Sustain The Wings Shows (1984)	Yes, i find it curious, who were the intended market?, if they were on Jasmine in the U.S then they would not be made for that market, so, i can only assume there must have been a market for these in Jamaica?, perhaps for American expat's? (or, more likely, American tourists;)
gregs45s SUBS 20th Mar 2023		Vinyl Album Glenn Miller And His Army Air Force Orchestra - I Sustain The Wings Shows (1984)	Another of these Jamaican Glen Miller's, they were on Jasmine in the U.S.
gregs45s SUBS 19th Mar 2023		Vinyl Album Glenn Miller And His Orchestra - Live From The Cafe Rouge (1984)	Glenn Miller on a Jamaican label?, apparently this Soundcraft label from Kingston specialised on Glenn's radio output, be it with his civilian band (1938-1942) or his Army Air Force Band (1943-1945) directed by Ray McKinley after Miller's disappearance. (i've gone for 1984 as LP-1004 was issued then, but if anyone knows any different?)
gregs45s SUBS 5th Mar 2023		Vinyl Album UB40 - Present Arms (1981)	With a nod to The Judge, harry 1958, bigbeans 1967, Paul Vinyl, rocket 666, i've added scans of the alternate inner sleeves that came with the Spartan Manufacturing Ltd. Pressing, the labels match images 1181077/78/79/80 exactly. The Spartan Manufacturing Ltd. Pressing has no "DAMONT" in the runouts, and the back cover differs slightly to image 832022 by having a white text "LPDEP 1" on a black rectangle in the top l-hand corner. I wonder, are harry 1958's scans are of the 1983 reissue? (btw, just got a turntable again after 5 years without and this sounds great audio-wise, and the wider groove 12" sounds even better.)
gregs45s SUBS 26th Feb 2023		Vinyl Album Gorillaz - Cracker Island (2023)	[YouTube Video] Wow, how good are the graphics, or is it real? ;)
gregs45s SUBS 16th Feb 2023		Vinyl Album David Newton - Eye Witness (1991)	I think this may be on 180g vinyl, it seems a bit heavier than usual. Some good Jazz piano here, a good sound quality recording from Linn.
gregs45s SUBS 11th Feb 2023		Vinyl Album Rufus Stone - Now I've Found It (1986)	I had to get a bit artistic around the edges of this one (i filled in the black thin line around the border where I.C.E. blanked), as i had forgotten how I.C.E. doesn't handle black/white borders very well. Not bad pub-rock/funk/r&b. "It was the vision of former Lulu And The Luvvers drummer Henry Wright upon his arrival in Southampton, UK. Some of the very best musicians in the south play with or have played with the band over this period. Founder members bassman Solly Read and vocalist Malc Eyers are still performing. Rufus Stone have performed at every kind of venue from the wonderful Royal Albert Hall to city theatres and open air events such as the Round the World Yacht Race and Goodwood Festival of Speed. On their list of credits are performances and tours with the likes of Edwin Starr, Curtis Mayfield, Ben E. King, Jimmy Ruffin and many more of soul music’s greats."
gregs45s SUBS 10th Feb 2022		Vinyl Album Billy Fury - Billy (1963)	With a nod to josephjohn/Kosmos, sleeve and alternate label scans added. Matrix Side 1 = 1-ARL-5849-1A (machine stamped) Matrix Side 2 = 1-ARL5850-2A (machine stamped)
gregs45s SUBS 26th Jan 2021		Vinyl Album Rip Rig And Panic - God (1981)	I don't know if this has been discussed before, but, what exactly is that animal on the front cover??, (if, indeed it's real, and not been photoshopped of course). It looks like an ape of some kind?, bi pedal maybe?, anyhow, i've not seen anything like it before. Anyone know?
gregs45s SUBS 29th Jul 2019		Vinyl Album The Who - Live At Leeds (1970)	@Gilberts004 Hi,i can confirm mine are definitely yellow (3 and 11),whereas yours appears to have a white background?,if so,it's a variant, cheers
