LaurenceD SUBS ● 10th Feb 2022		Vinyl Album June Christy - Something Cool (1955)	I added scans from a 1960 pressing. The stereo release from that year featured a new front cover and newly recorded versions of the same tracks. The 1960 mono pressing also got the new cover, but contained the same tracks (and matrix numbers) as the 1955 12" release.
LaurenceD SUBS ● 31st Jan 2022		Vinyl Album Bobby (Boris) Pickett And The Crypt-Kickers - The Original Monster Mash (1962)	Added scans from a rather tattered copy of the version with "Transylvania Twist" as track B1. The cover states that this LP was also available in stereo as SGP 67001, but I have yet to see visual evidence of such a release.
LaurenceD SUBS ● 28th Jan 2022		Vinyl Album Various Artists - Jockey Short Cuts (1963)	Were these selections intended for when a DJ had a couple of minutes to kill before the station break? Anyway the first volume, if you're interested, can be seen here
LaurenceD SUBS ● 28th Jan 2022		Vinyl Album [no artist listed] - Buy Buy Baby (1966)	(The back cover (on my copy) is applied upside down) Some additional info about the tracks from the notes on the cover: A1 = Plymouth automobiles A2 = Hunts Tomato Sauce (same melody as the 1954 record) A3 = Selectro Shaver A4 = for the "Move Up To Chrysler" 1964 campaign theme A5 = (features an ondiolene) A6 = Gulf Oil Company theme A7 = Eastern Airlines B1 = for the "White Owl Girl" commercials (music composed by John Barry) B3 = the "Go Go Goodyear" theme B6 = incorporates melodies from: - Chef Boy-Ar-Dee Beefaroni - Johnson & Johnson BAND-AID Brand Sheer Strips - The Travelers Insurance Companies - J-E-L-L-O - (and reprises of tunes from previous tracks)
LaurenceD SUBS ● 28th Jan 2022		Vinyl Album June Wilkinson - June Wilkinson And Her Physical Fitness Formula (1962)	I'm not going to elaborate on this entry, except to say that I have borrowed the label disambiguation [Los Angeles] from 45cat ;-)
LaurenceD SUBS ● 19th Jan 2022		Vinyl Album The Flying Burrito Bros. - The Last Of The Red Hot Burritos (1972)	Added the aforementioned Columbia Pitman labels :-)
LaurenceD SUBS ● 13th Jan 2022		Vinyl Album Montezuma's Revenge - First Run (1976)	There's a problem with my copy, the side with label 1 plays the tracks listed (on the cover and labels) as side 2, and vice versa. The thing is that the matrix numbers (FM 76051-A and -B) on the labels match those on the runouts of the corresponding vinyl sides. So maybe they're all pressed that way.
LaurenceD SUBS ● 10th Jan 2022		Vinyl Album Bob Enevoldsen, Marty Paich, Red Mitchell, Larry Bunker, Don Heath - Reflections In Jazz (1958)	I'm assuming that the delta numbers mentioned in the notes are also present on some pressings of the original (LP 14) release.
LaurenceD SUBS ● 10th Jan 2022		Vinyl Album Various Artists - Jazz Americana (1958)	Cover has spelling "Enevoldsen", labels have "Enevoldson"; same as the original SA-100 release.
LaurenceD SUBS ● 4th Jan 2022		Vinyl Album The Mahavishnu Orchestra With John McLaughlin - The Inner Mounting Flame (1971)	Added scans from the later pressing (PC 31067). Note that the earlier KC pressings had the A1 title misspelled as "Meetings Of The Spirit", which was corrected to "Meeting Of The Spirits" on subsequent issues.
LaurenceD SUBS ● 15th Dec 2021		Vinyl Album John Sebastian - John B. Sebastian (1970)	This seems to have appeared some time after the Reprise release, despite its cat number. The first trade mag mention I found is from an ad in Billboard April 11, but it could have arrived earlier. I presume that it was available until late 1970, when the lawsuit with Reprise was settled, and the MGM releases (this one and the live LP) were withdrawn.
LaurenceD SUBS ● 12th Dec 2021		Vinyl Album Jerry Lee Lewis - Southern Roots (1973)	Added images for variant labels and better front cover (with regards to David M. McKee & scrough)
LaurenceD SUBS ● 3rd Dec 2021		Vinyl Album Davy Graham - Large As Life And Twice As Natural (1969)	Adjusted release date, and added scans for alternate labels, plus a different front cover. Not sure about the previous front cover image (1690996), doesn't look like a USA London cover to me...
LaurenceD SUBS ● 20th Nov 2021		Vinyl Album Gogi Grant - Both Ends Of The Candle (1957)	I have linked this to the USA release; could someone (LouisSidney?) check the label on their copy and see if the track "Bill" is in fact listed on side 2, as it is not included in this entry. Thanks
LaurenceD SUBS ● 20th Nov 2021		Vinyl Album Original Broadway Cast - Gentlemen Prefer Blondes (1950)	Added scans for the 'six-eye' labels. Original 1950 release had green labels and the ML prefix. I think that the OL prefix appeared around 1955 or later.
LaurenceD SUBS ● 20th Nov 2021		Vinyl Album Various Artists - Gentlemen Prefer Blondes (1950)	This rechanneled version must have been released long after 1950...
LaurenceD SUBS ● 20th Nov 2021		Vinyl Album Gerry Mulligan, Ben Webster - Gerry Mulligan Meets Ben Webster (1960)	First issue had the cat# MGVS-6104. Not sure when this later number was introduced. My copy is an MGM pressing.
LaurenceD SUBS ● 13th Nov 2021		Vinyl Album Ethel Merman - The Ethel Merman Disco Album (1979)	Added scans (well somebody had to do it). Actually, I was a bit disappointed with this LP, as I was hoping that Ms. Merman might tackle some numbers like "Boogie Oogie Oogie". Instead she stuck to her familiar style and repertoire, but with a disco-style orchestral backing.
LaurenceD SUBS ● 13th Nov 2021		Vinyl Album Jackie Gleason - Jackie Gleason Presents Riff Jazz (1958)	Added scans. BTW the captions for the Hank Jones and Charlie Shavers photos are switched.
LaurenceD SUBS ● 13th Nov 2021		Vinyl Album Various Artists - Louisiana Purchase	The note regarding the 1951 film above the side two listing is incorrect, the film is from 1941.
LaurenceD SUBS ● 4th Nov 2021		Vinyl Album Tommy Dorsey - The Complete Tommy Dorsey, Volume IV / 1937 (1979)	Track D8 on this collection is a lesser-known Dorsey side - it was released on Victor 25632 with no artist credit (see here for images). I have added an excerpt (image 2794716) from Joe Klee's review of this release (Modern Recording & Music, August 1980) which describes the recording.
LaurenceD SUBS ● 27th Oct 2021		Vinyl Album June Christy - June (1957)	Added (readable) scans for back cover and labels, with respect to Scratchy45.

LaurenceD SUBS ● 9th Oct 2021		Vinyl Album Lester Young - Pres Is Blue (1962)	Sorry, but the front cover on my copy has been destroyed :-(
LaurenceD SUBS ● 8th Oct 2021		Vinyl Album João Gilberto - The Boss Of The Bossa Nova (1963)	Looks like 5 of these tracks were recycled on SD 8105
LaurenceD SUBS ● 8th Oct 2021		Vinyl Album Muir Mathieson Conducting The Sinfonia Of London - Gone With The Wind The Authentic Original Score Recording (1959)	First release of Muir Mathieson's recording in a standard cover. Reissued in 1961 in a new gatefold cover which has a less prominent credit for Mathieson.
LaurenceD SUBS ● 8th Oct 2021		Vinyl Album Monty Python - Matching Tie And Handkerchief (1975)	Looks like we've set a precedent for combining the Arista pressings with different prefixes (AL & AB), so I posted my AB 4039 scans here. The only changes to the cover and inner sleeve are the cat numbers, while these later labels have full track listings.
LaurenceD SUBS ● 30th Sep 2021		Vinyl Album The Frank Moore Four - The Frank Moore Four (1959)	Released in mono format only, as far as I can determine.
LaurenceD SUBS ● 30th Sep 2021		Vinyl Album Elvis Presley - Elvis' Golden Records Volume 3	Tracks are stereo, except possibly A5 & B5, which sound rechanneled to me.
LaurenceD SUBS ● 30th Sep 2021		Vinyl Album Elvis Presley - 엘비스 NBC-TV 특별 쇼-쇼-쇼 !!	Mono/stereo info for the tracks on this release: - A1,B1,B4 are true stereo (except for certain bits of dialogue) - A2,B2,B3,B5 are rechanneled Some rough translations: - album title = Elvis NBC-TV Special Show-Show-Show !! - 대도 레코드 = Taedo record - 철속곡 = song medley - 평화의 멧쎄이지 = message of peace
