Klepsie 4th Oct 2023		Vinyl Album Pam Ayres - Some Of Me Poems And Songs (1980)	Not quite greengrocery, but I once sold a pear tree to Bryan Ferry.
Klepsie 7th Jun 2017		Vinyl Album The Guest Stars - The Guest Stars (1985)	Scanner should be fixed now, so watch this space!
Klepsie 6th Jun 2017		Vinyl Album The Guest Stars - The Guest Stars (1985)	Thanks for adding the scans, JJ, but this German edition of yours is not at all the same as my (presumably British) one. Different back cover and labels. Guess I'll need to enter mine again!
Klepsie 1st Jun 2017		Vinyl Album Various Artists - Les Jeunes Loups: Bande Originale Du Film De Marcel Carné	Film released in France 1968. This appears to be an Italian pressing; no idea of date. Some of the artist credits are annoyingly non-specific.
Klepsie 23rd May 2017		Vinyl Album Andrew Gold - What's Wrong With This Picture? (1976)	Here's a list of 33 things wrong with this picture.
Klepsie 22nd May 2017		Vinyl Album Glen Campbell - Wichita Lineman (1968)	My copy, presumably earlier, lacks the "Gold Record" stamp on the front.
Klepsie 22nd May 2017		Vinyl Album Little Richard - Little Richard Is Back (1968)	Yes, mine is JOY 100. Labels (dark red rather than orange, and look older than the orange) have "Distributed by President Records" under the label name, and the sleeve has President's full address at bottom rear.
Klepsie 22nd May 2017		Vinyl Album Mike Harrison - Smokestack Lightning (1973)	My copy appears identical save that the label rim text is dated 1972, rather than 1973...
Klepsie 22nd May 2017		Vinyl Album Dire Straits - Love Over Gold (1982)	Slightly different labels on my copy, most notably a diagonal rather than horizontal slash in "33⅓"...
Klepsie 22nd May 2017		Vinyl Album Status Quo - Piledriver (1973)	My copy of this comes in what appears to be a standard UK gatefold sleeve and inner, but it came (many years ago) from a second hand record store bargain bin and I can't guarantee that it isn't a cut-and-shut job...
Klepsie 22nd May 2017		Vinyl Album Chris Spedding - I'm Not Like Everybody Else (1980)	Track B4 as per label, matching sleeve, whereas UK edition makes the label "Rhythm and Blues" which doesn't match sleeve.
Klepsie 22nd May 2017		Vinyl Album The Sensational Alex Harvey Band - Next (1973)	My copy's back sleeve omits the arranger credit for Pip Williams, resulting in the two lines of type near the top being quite differently laid out. I assume the omission means it's an early copy...
Klepsie 22nd May 2017		Vinyl Album The Sensational Alex Harvey Band - The Penthouse Tapes (1976)	Front cover sticker proclaims "Includes Runaway and Gamblin Bar Room Blues".
Klepsie 22nd May 2017		Vinyl Album T.V. Smith's Explorers - The Last Words Of The Great Explorer (1981)	My copy has a black on gold foil sticker advertising the free 7".
Klepsie 22nd May 2017		Vinyl Album The Stranglers - Feline (1983)	Copies with the bonus 7" refer to that on the sticker at top right of sleeve, as well as to the single "European Female".
Klepsie 22nd May 2017		Vinyl Album Emerson, Lake And Palmer - Emerson, Lake And Palmer (1973)	My copy has "Made in England" at the label foot (as well as "Made in UK" at nine o'clock).
Klepsie 22nd May 2017		Vinyl Album The Electric Light Orchestra - The Electric Light Orchestra (1971)	Later pressings have "EMI Records" rim text rather than "The Gramophone Company".
Klepsie 22nd May 2017		Vinyl Album The Wonder Stuff - Hup (1989)	Some copies (well, mine at least) have a sticker at top right of front cover giving the band name/logo.
Klepsie 22nd May 2017		Vinyl Album Bachman-Turner Overdrive - Not Fragile (1974)	Were any copies of this pressed in the UK? I note we don't have an entry yet, and everyone seems to have a German copy instead. Another casualty of the three day week/vinyl crunch?
Klepsie 22nd May 2017		Vinyl Album Mike Oldfield - Exposed (1979)	Sticker on front of my copy: "Two LIVE Albums For The Price Of One. 100,000 Copies Limited Edition, £4.99." Perhaps a contender for the least limited limited edition?
Klepsie 21st May 2017		Vinyl Album Al Stewart - 24 Carrots (1980)	Despite notes above, front cover does credit "Shot In The Dark" (second row of carrots...)
Klepsie 21st May 2017		Vinyl Album Shel Silverstein - Freakin' At The Freakers Ball (1979)	Catalogue sequence suggests 1979 or 1980 issue date.
Klepsie 21st May 2017		Vinyl Album The Charlatans - Some Friendly (1990)	Was so too! Straight in at number one, week of 20 October 1990, one week.
Klepsie 21st May 2017		Vinyl Album Billy Bragg - Life's A Riot With Spy Vs Spy (1984)	My copy (marketed by Go!), though not marked as a promo, has a letter from Andy Macdonald at Go! Discs ("Dear Mark"...), a slew of press cuttings, some reviewing Bragg gigs and some the actual album (latest one from end October 1983), a bio of Bragg and a publicity photo of him sitting on some London phone books. Unfortunately someone left it out in the sun and the orange front cover has faded badly. Beware!
Klepsie 21st May 2017		Vinyl Album David Bowie - Hunky Dory (1971)	My copy's labels don't have the "Stereo" at the top of each side (though they have the same matrix numbers as the existing scans).
Klepsie 21st May 2017		Vinyl Album Madness - Absolutely (1980)	Also exists on same label design but with group name below centre hole, and catalogue number plus "33 T" above it, plus sides labelled 1 and 2 rather than Face A and Face B.
Klepsie 21st May 2017		Vinyl Album Clannad - Macalla (1985)	Some copies with sticker on front cover "Features the HIT Single "In a lifetime", Claddad -- Additional Vocals: Bono".
Klepsie 21st May 2017		Vinyl Album Crosby, Stills And Nash - Crosby, Stills And Nash (1969)	Unlike the US edition (and other editions currently here, save for the Italian) this one has a tracklist printed on the back cover (on top of the screen door).
Klepsie 21st May 2017		Vinyl Album The Dogs D'amour - In The Dynamite Jet Saloon (1988)	Added composer info. Inner sleeve credits A5 to Tyla, James. Label doesn't.
Klepsie 21st May 2017		Vinyl Album Electric Light Orchestra - Face The Music (1975)	Not 100% sure of the country on this one: no country on labels, but the "(P)" in brackets is typical of an Irish pressing. Of course the UK issue was on Jet. There's an Irish issue on Epic, but I think that's a later pressing.
