LaurenceD SUBS ● 5th Jun 2018		Vinyl Album Various Artists - Selections From The Original Motion Picture Soudtrack "The Woman In Red" (1984)	The labels on some pressings (such as mine) list track A3 as "It's More Then You".
LaurenceD SUBS ● 30th May 2018		Vinyl Album Marlene Dietrich - Marlene Dietrich's Berlin (1966)	Pictured on the front you can see the cover of the 1965 German release, but with the Polydor logo airbrushed out.
LaurenceD SUBS ● 27th May 2018		Vinyl Album Roosevelt Sykes - Roosevelt Sykes Sings The Blues (1963)	Track B5 is shown on the cover as "Hup Dupe Do"
LaurenceD SUBS ● 27th May 2018		Vinyl Album The Violinaires - Live The Right Way (1968)	Added some missing scans and composer credits. I was hesitant to buy this at the thrift shop due to its condition; good thing I did though, its a wonderful album.
LaurenceD SUBS ● 6th May 2018		Vinyl Album Various Artists - Capitol Single Record Release 616 (1958)	Anyone out there know anything about these 'Single Record Release' albums, or how many different ones were made? I've done a bit of poking around, found nothing so far. [edit] to answer my own question, I have found examples ranging to April 1968, so that would imply a large number. Although many of them include singles spanning a 2-week period.
LaurenceD SUBS ● 6th May 2018		Vinyl Album Various Artists - Blaze (1990)	Posted scans from a promo copy, which included a press insert dated Jan 1990. BTW, artist Bonnie Sheridan is better known as Bonnie Bramlett (now linked).
LaurenceD SUBS ● 6th May 2018		Vinyl Album Dave Van Ronk - FolkSinger (1962)	Added back cover and label scans. Note that the sides are flipped versus the current listing, and the only composer credit shown is for "Chicken Is Nice". JohnBuckWLD, did your track information come from a later release? Or perhaps from that other site...
LaurenceD SUBS ● 1st May 2018		Vinyl Album Ken Hamilton - Ken Hamilton Sings	On the label, the composer credit is "Traditional" for B2 "Come On Chi Chi Let's Go Back". This LP was probably released sometime around 1969.
LaurenceD SUBS ● 1st May 2018		Vinyl Album Tommy Roe - We Can Make Music (1970)	The cover on the Capitol pressing is the same, except for the additional "ST-93359" on the spine. The labels add the Kerr/Peel composer credits for "Evergreen" which are absent on some of the regular issues.
LaurenceD SUBS ● 29th Apr 2018		Vinyl Album Les McCann Ltd. - Beaux J. Pooboo (1966)	The second release of this LP, in a standard album cover. The first release (LS 86025, ca. Oct 1965) had a gatefold cover with a pop-up feature. As far as I can tell, both releases contain the same tracks. Based on Billboard and ARSA dates for neighboring Limelight releases, I am estimating this came out sometime in early 1966.
LaurenceD SUBS ● 28th Apr 2018		Vinyl Album Johnny Bond - Ten Little Bottles	Yet another record where the sides designations differ between cover and labels. In this case it appears that Capitol was to blame, because regular Starday releases have labels that coincide with the cover.
LaurenceD SUBS ● 28th Apr 2018		Vinyl Album Pat Thomas - Jazz Patterns (1961)	The side 1 & 2 designations differ between the cover and labels. Given this runout info: - side 1: KSLP 10110-1 - side 2: KSLP 10109-1 I assume that an error was made regarding the labels and have entered the tracks per the cover. Aside from that, I really like this album. Pat can really swing; I guess that I would describe her style as reminiscent of Sarah Vaughan, also reminding me a bit of Della Reese. The backing band and their arrangements are terrific; a shame that there is no information given about them.
LaurenceD SUBS ● 17th Mar 2018		Vinyl Album Catherine Sauvage, Christiane Legrande, Les Quatre Barbus, Yves Robert - Songs Of Kurt Weill (1958)	A6 track listing difference: - cover: "Le Financée du pirate" - label: "Le Fianceé du pirate" The French release ("Chansons de Kurt Weill", Philips Réalités V 4, 1958) has 16 tracks; "Speak Low" and "September Song" are omitted in this USA version.
LaurenceD SUBS ● 10th Feb 2018		Vinyl Album Three Dog Night - Seven Separate Fools (1972)	I bought the reel-to-reel version of this album (seen here). While the cover art left much to be desired, it did mention an offer whereby anyone could obtain those cards by sending in $1 (supply limited) (offer expired Nov 1, 1972). Naturally, I picked up the tape a bit after the fact, so alas no cards.
LaurenceD SUBS ● 6th Feb 2018		Vinyl Album Elvis Presley - Separate Ways (1973)	I brake for Elvis!
LaurenceD SUBS ● 17th Jan 2018		Vinyl Album The Rolling Stones - Sticky Fingers (1980)	Note that although this has been linked to the other Sticky Fingers releases, the track lineup is not quite the same. "Let It Rock" is included in place of "Sister Morphine".
LaurenceD SUBS ● 1st Jan 2018		Vinyl Album Buddy Holly - The Complete Buddy Holly (1979)	My copy was issued as MCA/Coral, cat # CDMSP 807. Also the box cover and inner sleeves have some minor differences in the layout. Wondering whether to create a new entry for it...
LaurenceD SUBS ● 27th Dec 2017		Vinyl Album Various Artists - [untitled] (1959)	The Clark Sisters side contains one song that later appeared on their Beauty Shop Beat Coral LP, but I do not yet know if this is the same recording. The May Company side of the disc contains five radio spots for May Company's music department, each nearly identical except for the record label that is mentioned. Only track B6 mentions a specific LP that is to be "released this week". Perhaps the 8/7/59 date on the label is when this disc was pressed, as "Dinah, Yes Indeed" was not released until late September or early October of that year. If there's a connection between the Robert E Lee song and the May Company ad campaign, I have not been able to track it down.
LaurenceD SUBS ● 25th Dec 2017		Vinyl Album Ritchie Valens - Ritchie Valens (1959)	Added some minor variant labels. I'm accustomed to seeing Jerry Leiber's surname misspelled, but the composer credit on "Framed" is a new one on me!
LaurenceD SUBS ● 26th Nov 2017		Vinyl Album Tennessee Ernie Ford - Nearer The Cross (1958)	For me, this has to be one of the most frequently encountered LPs while crate-digging in my neck of the woods.
LaurenceD SUBS ● 25th Nov 2017		Vinyl Album Lesley Gore - Love Me By Name (1976)	Added cover, inner sleeve and easier-to-read labels, with acknowledgement to swbcfc.
LaurenceD SUBS ● 17th Oct 2017		Vinyl Album Roland Kirk - Left And Right (1969)	A snippet from L. Feather's review: "Aside from beauty, spirit, control, taste, humor and limitless versatility, Kirk has very little to offer."
LaurenceD SUBS ● 12th Oct 2017		Vinyl Album Various Artists - The Surfs Up At Banzai-Pipeline (1963)	My copy has liner notes by Bobby Dale; some other covers have (the same) notes attributed to Sam Riddle, with a small pic of S.R. on the back cover as well.
LaurenceD SUBS ● 10th Sep 2017		Vinyl Album The Blasters - Over There: Live At The Venue, London (1982)	With a total running time of around 15 minutes, I would call this a mini-LP.
LaurenceD SUBS ● 17th Aug 2017		Vinyl Album George Harrison - Wonderwall Music (1968)	Correct John, the centering/trimming seems to be off by about 1/8 inch.
LaurenceD SUBS ● 13th Aug 2017		Vinyl Album Steppenwolf - Monster (1969)	I'm not sure if the front & back cover scans should be shown as-is or flipped sideways. I will rotate them if that's the consensus.
LaurenceD SUBS ● 13th Aug 2017		Vinyl Album George Harrison - Wonderwall Music (1968)	FWIW, on my copy the words "GL litho. in U.S.A. ST-3350" are visible on the back cover (just to the right of "STEREO") and on the insert (Apple side, lower left). Not a variant, just differently offset printing/cutting by the looks of it.
LaurenceD SUBS ● 10th Aug 2017		Vinyl Album Monk - Straight, No Chaser (1967)	Added scans; cover has sticker overlaying new cat# PC 9451 over the old CS 9451 on the front and spine.
LaurenceD SUBS ● 29th May 2017		Vinyl Album Caroliner Rainbow Stewed Angel Skins - I'm Armed With Qts. Of Blood (1990)	For those unfamiliar with Caroliner, this release (their second) probably requires some explanation. The group used a different variant of their name for each release. The identities of the group members have never been disclosed to my knowledge. The album sleeves were assembled and painted by hand, in batches of 1000 if I remember correctly. The cover paint on this particular copy contains all sorts of debris imbedded within, with bits and pieces falling off as one handles it. I left that sticker on the back because I couldn't be sure that it was not part of the original artwork! I confirmed the running order of the tracks by listening and comparing with the enclosed lyrics, although to be honest most of the words as sung are just barely decipherable.
LaurenceD SUBS ● 17th May 2017		Vinyl Album The Stranglers - Black And White (1978)	Tank and Curfew performed on Revolver, 22 July 1978: [YouTube Video]
