kimbozw 11th Mar 2021		Vinyl Album Various Artists - Who's That Girl (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack) (1987)	The artist performing on track A4 was part of the South African band RABBITT back in the 1970s (along with Trevor Rabin later of the group YES). Was later part of THE ROLLERS (a later constellation of BAY CITY ROLLERS).
kimbozw 14th Nov 2020		Vinyl Album Björn Skifs - Schiffz! (1975)	Track B3 features the vocals of ABBA member Anni-Frid.
kimbozw 13th Nov 2020		Vinyl Album Leoné Lauren - Seven Years Older Than Four (1969)	This album was reissued in 1973 on the RTC label entitled JENNIFER JUNIPER and credited to the artist's real name, LAUREN COPLEY. She was only 11 when it was released in 1969.
kimbozw 14th Oct 2020		Vinyl Album Johnny Hallyday - Flagrant Délit (1971)	Quite a cover version artist was Monsieur Smet. 8 out of 10 on this album were covers.
kimbozw 16th Sep 2020		Vinyl Album Tina Dico - Whispers (2014)	Echoes of Adele?
kimbozw 4th Aug 2020		Vinyl Album Don Henley - Building The Perfect Beast (1984)	"parallel imports" they were termed ...
kimbozw 16th Jul 2020		Vinyl Album Various Artists - 16 Hollandse Hits Nr. 5	in a similar vein the name of the group BZN stands for Band Zonder Naam [band without a name].
kimbozw 15th May 2020		Vinyl Album Pink Floyd - A Momentary Lapse Of Reason (1987)	this was not the only example of such oddness at the time. merely i suspect a "waste not want not" mentality (let's use up those old labels rather than throw them away even if this is not a real Motown production - due to shortages of foreign currency to import paper for label printing perhaps. It's a reality in the third world at times ...).
kimbozw 10th May 2020		Vinyl Album The Beatles - Let It Be (1970)	is this the "ugly duckling of Beatles albums", as the article linked below claims? : https://www.yahoo.com/entertainment/let-50-why-beatles-last-154633731.html Released 50 years ago in 8 days from now.
kimbozw 10th May 2020		Vinyl Album Carpenters - The Singles 1969-1973 (1974)	With 27 weeks at No 1 in the UK and 125 weeks in the charts, and 300 000 copies sold, there were undoubtedly many different pressing runs and label prints for this one. Chart entry was 8 days after the release date shown here.
kimbozw 7th May 2020		Vinyl Album Carl-Erik Thörn - Carl-Erik Thörn (1971)	Track A5 an early composition by Benny later of ABBA. Together with Lars "Lasse" Berghagen if I am correct. Label and disc scans once added may corroborate that. From circa 1968 if my memory serves me correctly
kimbozw 28th Apr 2020		Vinyl Album ABBA - The Album (1977)	i was just sharing information in case it is of use or interest, abbaroni, so no sweat.
kimbozw 21st Apr 2020		Vinyl Album Mireille Mathieu - Je Veux L'Aimer (1983)	B2 seemingly a French language version of Barbra & Neil's YOU DON'T BRING ME FLOWERS.
kimbozw 17th Apr 2020		Vinyl Album Jan Høiland - En Bit Av Mig Själv (1973)	Takk. Track A2 perhaps a cover version of HEP STARS song SUNNY GIRL with updated lyrics?
kimbozw 15th Apr 2020		Vinyl Album Jan Høiland - En Bit Av Mig Själv (1973)	Option No. 2 presumably also applicable in Denmark?
kimbozw 13th Apr 2020		Vinyl Album Mireille Mathieu - Un Peu...Beaucoup...Passionnement (1980)	Track B4 is a French language cover version of PEARLY DUMM by the Dutch band BZN which was a No 1 hit single in the Netherlands in 1980.
kimbozw 12th Apr 2020		Vinyl Album Gary Moore - Back On The Streets (1978)	For what the information may be worth, it charted in the UK on 03 Feb 1979 for one week at the princely position of No. 70. His highest album charter was the No. 4 peaked AFTER HOURS from 1992. This is according to the Virgin Books issued HIT ALBUMS covering the period 1956 to 2008 which I acquired on 13 June 2011 on a visit to London Town. The book cost me 6 quid which was a promotional price reduced from the previously priced 16 quid.
kimbozw 8th Apr 2020		Vinyl Album ABBA - The Album (1977)	the Rhodesian issue was also gatefold but not the same images or colouring as the UK issue.
kimbozw 24th Mar 2020		Vinyl Album Elton John - The Elton Album (1983)	yes, rocket man, yours is likely to be the S.A. pressing. Glossy cover and perhaps the word INTERPAK [sleeve printer] on the rear sleeve at the bottom. Please upload as such.
kimbozw 11th Mar 2020		Vinyl Album Johnny Cash - Unchained (2012)	it's the only time I've seen that.
kimbozw 18th Feb 2020		Vinyl Album Pendulum [South Africa] - Trail Blazing (1977)	A1, A2 and B1 are the strongest tracks in my opinion. A1 was a big UK Top 5 hit by MR BIG. The PENDULUM version has better vocals in my opinion. A2 was a hit in Australia by Mark Holden but its original version was a Swedish language song "Jag ska fånga en ängel" by Ted Gärdestad dating from 1973 produced by the ABBA men. Ted's own English language version of the song saw a UK release on single in 1975. B1 was a minor hit for Alessi in some places. The English lyric for A2 was by Gary Osborne who composed a few songs with Elton John.
kimbozw 27th Jan 2020		Vinyl Album Janne Schaffer - The Chinese (1974)	Guitarist on various of ABBA's recordings back in the day.
kimbozw 17th Dec 2019		Vinyl Album Don Henley - The End Of Innocence (1989)	The title on the sleeves appears as The End Of The Innocence. I assume that the labels will concur.
kimbozw 18th Nov 2019		Vinyl Album Various Artists - Radio Jacaranda Hits / Radio Jakaranda Treffers (1990)	R Fitoussi being the real name of F R David.
kimbozw 6th Nov 2019		Vinyl Album Vikingarna - Kramgoa Låtar 10 (Den Stora Dagen) (1982)	Please scan and upload the inlay with lyrics.
kimbozw 2nd Oct 2019		Vinyl Album The Three Degrees - The Three Degrees (1973)	still favourites of Prince Charles, I wonder?
kimbozw 2nd Oct 2019		Vinyl Album MFSB - TSOP (The Sound Of Philadelphia) (1973)	Mother Father etc seemingly being the sanitised version of the acronym …
kimbozw 26th Aug 2019		Vinyl Album Alan Garrity - Licensed To Sing (1989)	The lyrics of this version of TORN BETWEEN TWO LOVERS have been masculinised (if there is such a word) to apply to a man singing to a woman.
kimbozw 15th Aug 2019		Vinyl Album Mike Gibbs - The Only Chrome Waterfall Orchestra (1975)	The single NAIRAM taken from this album credits (THE) MIKE GIBBS ORCHESTRA. Michael Gibbs was born in Rhodesia in September 1937 and was a jazz composer, conductor, arranger and producer as well as a trombonist and keyboardist. He released his first album in 1970. He was the director for the BBC TV comedy programme THE GOODIES from 1970 to 1974. He later left the UK to take up a teaching position at Berklee in the USA. On 02 October 2017 he was presented with a BASCA Gold Badge Award in recognition of his unique contribution to music. He was known for his collaborations with vibraphonist Gary Burton, his student, and for his use of rock elements in orchestral jazz. Information thanks to Wikipedia.
kimbozw 7th Jun 2019		Vinyl Album Dr. John - Anytime, Anyplace (1974)	Dr John seemingly has passed away at age 77. RIP.
