gregs45s SUBS 27th Jan 2019		Vinyl Album Christopher Lee - Hammer Presents Dracula (1974)	Christopher was one of the best Dracula's IMHO,if not,the best. With a nod to vincenzo,scans added.
gregs45s SUBS 17th Jul 2018		Vinyl Album Judy Collins - The Judy Collins Concert (1964)	Label variation added (album title fonts/publisher credits differ),also,a detail of the bottom of the back cover,where the Elektra address is different,all else matches images 730479/1615426 exactly. Generic Elektra inner sleeve on my copy
gregs45s SUBS 13th Jul 2018		Vinyl Album Various Artists - Now That's What I Call Music 18 (1990)	With a nod to BruceF,a slightly clearer back cover scan added for moderation. Mod edit: moderated.
gregs45s SUBS 15th Apr 2018		Vinyl Album Eric Dolphy - Leonard Feather Presents The Eric Dolphy Memorial Album	Matrix Side 1 (image 1633634) = AA 688 521 1L 1 670 11 2C2 (machine stamped). Matrix Side 2 (image 1633635) = AA 388 521 2L 1 670 11 2C7 (machine stamped).
gregs45s SUBS 13th Apr 2018		Vinyl Album Herbie Mann - Herbie Mann Plays (1956)	Although this first issue is moderately scarce,i don't think it went for anywhere near the sticker price on the back;) (unless it was $4.98 instead;)
gregs45s SUBS 30th Mar 2018		Vinyl Album Leroy Carr - Blues Before Sunrise (1963)	Matrix Side 1 (image 1619677) = BPG 62206 1L(triangle) 1=420 1 (machine stamped). Matrix Side 2 (image 1919678) = BPG 62206 2L(triangle) 1//420 1 (machine stamped).
gregs45s SUBS 11th Feb 2018		Vinyl Album Ellis - Riding On The Crest Of A Slump (1972)	[YouTube Video]
gregs45s SUBS 11th Feb 2018		Vinyl Album Ellis - Riding On The Crest Of A Slump (1972)	Added a rather tatty front cover scan,on the premise that,"anything is better than nothing",the back,however,looks like it was Edward Scissorhand's own personal copy,so have not bothered ;) "El Doomo"(great track),by the way,is the second track on side 2 (so 5 tracks) ,although not listed on either artwork,or label (correction submitted).
gregs45s SUBS 7th Feb 2018		Vinyl Album Rock And Roll Allstars - Red China Rocks (1972)	Love the translation,bonkers! ;)
gregs45s SUBS 13th Jan 2018		Vinyl Album The Band - The Band (1970)	Another label variation added,cover matches scans 485773/74/75/76 exactly. Aren't images 485777/778 French?
gregs45s SUBS 12th Dec 2017		Vinyl Album Elvis Presley - Paradise, Hawaiian Style (1966)	With a nod to Ken Whiton,later orange label reissue added,along with generic inner sleeve scans,presumably 70's (exact date unknown). Cover matches images 1371695/697 exactly.
gregs45s SUBS 12th Dec 2017		Vinyl Album Elvis Presley - Elvis Presley At The Louisiana Hayride 1954-1956 (2002)	No record for this one,i just bought the cover for the artwork.
gregs45s SUBS 26th Nov 2017		Vinyl Album Peter Cook And Dudley Moore - Not Only Peter Cook...But Also Dudley Moore (1965)	Please could a Mod delete my scan,as edlongus's ones are better,it might be worth keeping the label scans as a colour variation (even if hidden),as,although i no longer have the album to compare,i think they were fairly accurate (colour-wise). Mod Edit: Done.
gregs45s SUBS 19th Nov 2017		Vinyl Album Tex Roberg - First Pressing (1979)	Southampton based South African who was the first act to appear at the Star Club (Hamburg) and has worked with the Beatles,Marty Wilde,Gene Vincent,Eddie Cochran and many many others.
gregs45s SUBS 17th Nov 2017		Vinyl Album Various Artists - All Star Favourites (1966)	With a nod to thebickerman for doing the groundwork,scans added. I presume this was made available in record stores,or perhaps used to promote some other Macdonalds event in the UK?,because the first UK Macdonalds didn't open here until 1973.
gregs45s SUBS 8th Nov 2017		Vinyl Album Shirley Collins And The Albion Country Band - No Roses (1974)	Added scans of the 1981 single sleeve reissue (textured sleeve),the front matches image 1201692 exactly,there is also an 1983 reissue,the only difference being it has the Lyntone No's in the matrix as well,i.e,"CREST-11-A-LYN-13475"and "CREST-11-B-LYN-13476"
gregs45s SUBS 31st Oct 2017		Vinyl Album ABBA - Greatest Hits	Interesting,Discogs has it as "Singapore,Malaysia & Hong Kong",and "Made For The Hong Kong,Malaysia And Singapore Markets".
gregs45s SUBS 28th Oct 2017		Vinyl Album Miles Davis Quintet - Miles Smiles (1967)	Matrix Side 1 (image 1485097) = 62933 AI and O and 13 (machine stamped). Matrix Side 2 (image 1485098) = 62933 BI and O and 12 (machine stamped). Generic CBS inner sleeve.
gregs45s SUBS 28th Oct 2017		Vinyl Album Miles Davis - Sketches Of Spain (1964)	Matrix Side 1 (image 1485028) = BPG 62327 1L* 1 // 420 1 12 (machine stamped). Matrix Side 2 (image 1485030) = 62327 2L (triangle) 1 // 420 1 12 (machine stamped).

gregs45s SUBS 19th Oct 2017		Vinyl Album Peter Cook And Dudley Moore - Not Only Peter Cook...But Also Dudley Moore (1965)	Not the best of sleeve scans;),please feel free to replcae.(back is too tatty)

gregs45s SUBS 12th Oct 2017		Vinyl Album The Marty Riff Association - The Hits Of Creedence Clearwater (1972)	With a nod to pratman,scans added.There is also an alternate "train" cover by the looks of it,unsure of the date of this one.I prefer this style of Windmill label to their norm.Not too bad,at least,i've heard a lot worse;)
gregs45s SUBS 12th Oct 2017		Vinyl Album The Hollies - Hollies' Greatest (1968)	Black/silver reissue labels added,front and back sleeve matches images 458873/74 exactly.
gregs45s SUBS 10th Oct 2017		Vinyl Album The Band Of Her Majesty's Royal Marines Commando Forces - And The Band Played On... (1983)	P&O's Canberra took many a "Ten Pound Pom" to Aus in the 60's (including my uncle),and was used as a troop ship in the Falklands (1982),one of the better looking liner's IMHO,sadly finally scrapped in 1998.
gregs45s SUBS 9th Oct 2017		Vinyl Album Don Rendell / Ian Carr Quintet - Dusk Fire (1966)	Gulp!,this sort of thing doesn't normally happen to me,whilst sorting through a box of Jazz LP's recently bought at a car-boot for £25,this beauty came out.Checking it on Discogs first,as i normally do (i find it's "Median" price,i.e,the average price it has sold for,quite useful as a guide) all this one said was "2 for sale from £599.99"!!,i almost choked on my biscuit;),how much?!,and,not only is it near mint,it's also a first press i believe,at least,it's on the Columbia blue labels (latter ones having black/silver EMI boxed labels).£800 in my 2016 RRPG!!,and whilst i realise that these prices are seldom attained,it is,still by far,the highest valued by the RRPG,record i have ever found to date,so,for once,i'm the lucky so-and-so;),so there is still hope for all of us crate-digger's;)(keep searching). Is it any good?well yes,it's brilliant (of course,i would say that wouldn't i?:),i,m no Jazz aficionado,and have slowly been buying into the genre only for the past couple of years,still exploring really...,but,from what i've heard so far,yes,it compares very well,being up there,amongst the best i've heard (so-far IMHO).It stands out,style-wise.Is it worth the money?,well that of course is very much down to the individual,but i've heard "dire" albums that sell for £100-£300,so i know "rarity" doesn't always mean "quality";) (Never have i placed something so carefully in the scanner/on my turntable;) Anyhow,enough of my good fortune,and i hope other members will have similar luck (i used to look through the RRPG,wondering what it would be like to own one of these "high-valued" albums,and now i've got one!;),where shall i put it though?,it has to go in my "most precious" album case of course;),will it still get played?,you bet!,just very carefully;)
gregs45s SUBS 8th Oct 2017		Vinyl Album Chet Baker And Bud Shank - Theme Music From "The James Dean Story"	Was unsure whether you want the label listed as such,or,just "Vogue"?,happy if you want to change it.
