JohnnyCool 7th Sep 2024		Vinyl Album Anthony Meynell And Squire - September Gurls (1984)	Great news about the mono release, as you say, better late than never! Personally, I've always thought of this (and the Beat Direction release) as 12* EPs, simply due to the 'HI' catalogue number (rather than the 'LO' album sequence). Anyhow, pre-ordered the mono mix. Quite limited too.
JohnnyCool 26th Nov 2021		Vinyl Album The Eyes - Blink (1984)	It's this one The Eyes
JohnnyCool 28th Jun 2021		Vinyl Album Squire - Something Old Something New Something Borrowed... (1985)	@OldMod67, one of us needs to add the original 1983 release (I got mine too in the summer of '83). With not having this pressing, I can't state in which order of the currently untitled tracks are The Young Idea / It's Getting Better.
JohnnyCool 6th Apr 2021		Vinyl Album Squire - Something Old Something New Something Borrowed... (1985)	This entry isn't the original release. This is the 1985 reissue via a pressing and distribution deal with EMI. "The Young Idea" and "It's Getting Better" were added to the original running order.
JohnnyCool 26th Sep 2020		Vinyl Album Various Artists - Mods Mayday '79 (1979)	@OldMod67 Little to add I'm afraid aside from owning a copy of BHLP003 with the correct cover and no oversticker. Squire were still selling copies of this until the mid-80s via their fan club mail order service. The Dojo reissue was in 1985.
JohnnyCool 11th Apr 2020		Vinyl Album The Jam - Setting Sons (1979)	Certainly a typo, never noticed that!
JohnnyCool 9th Sep 2017		Vinyl Album The Beach Boys - The Smile Sessions (2011)	Gatefold sleeve. Liner notes by Brian Wilson.
JohnnyCool 11th Jun 2017		Vinyl Album Prince Buster - Big Five (1971)	A few mis-credits on the label: B2 is actually "The Virgin" as per the sleeve. B5 is actually "Oh Lady Oh" B6 is actually "Wine or Grind"
JohnnyCool 30th Jun 2016		Vinyl Album Squire - Something Old Something New Something Borrowed... (1985)	Tracks on side 1 are indeed demos (except for track 4). My copy has 6 tracks on side 1, not 7. Track 4 is "Get Ready To Go". The label should be "Squire Fan Club Recordings". The only other release on this label was a 7" single, listed here - SFC 2
JohnnyCool 21st Jan 2016		Vinyl Album Prince Buster - She Was A Rough Rider (1968)	The year should really be 1968. Melodisc used up some left-over "Blue Beat" labels for this pressing.
JohnnyCool 26th Apr 2014		Vinyl Album Prince Buster - She Was A Rough Rider	The presence of a Miami telephone number on the label would indicate that this was released post-1974 as Prince Buster moved to Florida at that time.
JohnnyCool 16th Feb 2014		Vinyl Album The Jam - Setting Sons (1979)	Initial copies came with an embossed sleeve.
JohnnyCool 13th Nov 2013		Vinyl Album Various Artists - Prince Buster Record Shack Presents The Original Golden Oldies Vol 2	This LP first appeared sometime in the 1970's, although I'm uncertain of the actual year. It is re-pressed fairly regularly, I bought my copy from Virgin Records circa 1986. Track A6 is the same track released as "Sauce and Tea" on Blue Beat 7" (BB 272). Not sure where the "black head" artist credit comes from on this listing, as it isn't stated on either the sleeve or label.
