LaurenceD SUBS 22nd Jan 2024		Vinyl Album The 13th Floor Elevators - The Psychedelic Sounds Of The 13th Floor Elevators (1978)	Added scans; runouts on my copy match those listed by OldMod67
LaurenceD SUBS 13th Jan 2024		Vinyl Album Rod Stewart - Camouflage (1984)	Added back cover variant. Apparently there are 12 different back covers, each being an enlarged section of the front cover photo.
LaurenceD SUBS 13th Jan 2024		Vinyl Album Cat Stevens - Izitso (1977)	Added alternate side 2 label (3463668) with one different composer credit; "Was Dog A Doughnut?" = Cat Stevens, Jean Roussel, Bruce Lynch Side 1 on this copy is the same as 867801
LaurenceD SUBS 11th Jan 2024		Vinyl Album Steppenwolf - 16 Greatest Hits (1973)	I think that in this case it's ok to leave those RCA club scans here, since they still have DSX-50135 as the primary cat no. I have added R113453 as an alternate number.
LaurenceD SUBS 11th Jan 2024		Vinyl Album Steppenwolf - Live Steppenwolf (1970)	Added label scans { 3461289 - 3461292 } intended for 'stacked' playing, i.e. disc 1 = sides A & D, and disc 2 = sides B & C. One little error is that the side numbers on the labels reflect a non-stacked order: disc 1 = sides 1 & 2, disc 2 = sides 3 & 4.
LaurenceD SUBS 11th Jan 2024		Vinyl Album Steppenwolf - Steppenwolf 7 (1970)	Added alternate labels { 3461274, 3461276 } with some differences in the composer credits for A1,A3,A4.
LaurenceD SUBS 7th Jan 2024		Vinyl Album Siouxsie And The Banshees - Love And Romance * BBC 77 & 78 (1985)	The track listings on the cover and label both omit "Carcass" (1 of 2) which plays between "Mirage" and "Overground", so I have inserted it for this entry.
LaurenceD SUBS 1st Jan 2024		Vinyl Album Damita Jo - The Big 15 (1961)	Added back cover and stock labels. Most of these tracks were recorded in 1956-1957, and Damita Jo does not sing lead on A5,A7,B4,B5 and B7. BTW this Billboard ad from Feb 6, 1961 designates this LP (and two others) as mono-only releases.
LaurenceD SUBS 30th Dec 2023		Vinyl Album Sham 69 - Tell Us The Truth/That's Life (1989)	Hi edlongus, I originally found the US LP in a budget bin, and eventually bought the later 3 Polydor UK albums. That first LP is still a favorite, though.
LaurenceD SUBS 22nd Dec 2023		Vinyl Album Sham 69 - Tell Us The Truth/That's Life (1989)	Hmm, the cover photo used to reproduce "Tell Us The Truth" appears to be from the USA release. You can see where they obscured the Sire logo on the front lower right. Also, it shows a cutout notch, just like my copy.
LaurenceD SUBS 20th Dec 2023		Vinyl Album [no artist listed] - The Story Of Tiny Timber (1970)	My copy is enclosed in a plain white sleeve. From the Edmonton Journal Dec 8, 1970: The local people involved in the creation and production of upcoming Christmas kiddies treat Tiny Timber hope that one day he'll be another Rudolph The Red-Nosed Reindeer. The story of why Christmas trees are green, written and produced locally as an LP, will be heard simultaneously on CHQT and CJCA Dec. 23, and was to have been tied to a huge Safeway contest for the kids. Now because of a decision at the coast there'll be no contest, but the 1,000 LPs originally set for it will be given away Dec. 14 at Harold's Stereo Shack, on an "as long as they last" basis, really is a cute story for youngsters.
LaurenceD SUBS 10th Dec 2023		Vinyl Album Procol Harum - Home	Added remaining scans. On the labels and the cover spine, this release was indeed given the title "Whoosh".
LaurenceD SUBS 2nd Dec 2023		Vinyl Album Randy Newman - Land Of Dreams (1988)	Added back cover and labels from the standard issue. Images { 3051887, 3051891, 3051892 } are from the Columbia House pressing.
LaurenceD SUBS 2nd Dec 2023		Vinyl Album Randy Newman - Boston	My copy is missing the cover sheet; one can be viewed here.
LaurenceD SUBS 27th Nov 2023		Vinyl Album Jose Melis - Jose Melis At The Piano With Rhythm Accompaniment (1957)	Also released with different cover and title: "José Melis Of The Jack Paar Show"; not sure which was first.
LaurenceD SUBS 27th Nov 2023		Vinyl Album Paul McCartney - Снова в СССР	I think that this is a counterfeit version of the 13-track 1988 reissue. Maybe someone knows more about it.
LaurenceD SUBS 20th Nov 2023		Vinyl Album The Beatles - Meet The Beatles! (1964)	FWIW, here is the runout info for { 3421749 & 3421750 }: - side 1: (hand etched:) T-1-2047-G-8 (stamped:) 6 [5-pointed-star] - side 2: (hand etched:) T-2-2047-F-11-1 (stamped:) 2 [6-pointed-star]
LaurenceD SUBS 15th Nov 2023		Vinyl Album Nils Lofgren - Nils Lofgren (1975)	We have a pair of side 1 label scans here ...
LaurenceD SUBS 1st Nov 2023		Vinyl Album The Kinks - Something Else By The Kinks	Added variant labels, and complete front cover (with respect to Focus B)
LaurenceD SUBS 1st Nov 2023		Vinyl Album The Sandals - The Endless Summer (1966)	Note to Jacques RAILLARD and possibly other owners: I created a mono entry and moved images { 2556923, 2556925, 2556926 } over there.
LaurenceD SUBS 1st Nov 2023		Vinyl Album The Kinks - One For The Road (1983)	On each side of the poster, on the lower right corner is "©1980 Arista Records, Inc.", and just to its left is a blacked out area. Maybe on the original LP issue, the poster has the old cat# there; don't know.
LaurenceD SUBS 29th Oct 2023		Vinyl Album The Kinks - Soap Opera (1975)	I added an entry for the 1980 reissue AYL1-3750 as mentioned by Problem Child.
LaurenceD SUBS 29th Oct 2023		Vinyl Album The Edwin Hawkins Singers - Peace Is "Blowin' In The Wind" (1969)	Added alternate labels; fixed missing composers. Also gave this a listen, and the labels correspond to the actual playing order, so I have re-ordered the tracks accordingly.
LaurenceD SUBS 22nd Oct 2023		Vinyl Album The Jam - This Is The Modern World (1977)	Added scans from my copy. The previous front cover scan (1485938) does not appear to be from this USA release. I'm pretty sure that USA covers had the cat# just above the Polydor logo in the lower right corner, e.g. (3402264). Mod Edit: UK cover moved to UK issue.
LaurenceD SUBS 15th Oct 2023		Vinyl Album Humble Pie - As Safe As Yesterday Is (1969)	Label composer credit on B4: Steve Frampton
LaurenceD SUBS 9th Oct 2023		Vinyl Album Sylvia Syms - Songs By Sylvia Syms (1952)	For track A1, the label credits "Hudson, Mills, Fine", which is basically correct (for Will Hudson, Irving Mills, Lupin Fein). The cover credits "Fansler, Tade, Dolan" - no idea where that came from ...
LaurenceD SUBS 7th Oct 2023		Vinyl Album The Rolling Stones - Got Live If You Want It! (1966)	Added alternate labels { 3390709, 3390710 }, which I reckon must be from a rather late pressing, because they finally corrected the 'Reading' credit on track A5.
LaurenceD SUBS 7th Oct 2023		Vinyl Album Sarah Vaughan - A Romantic Mood With Sarah Vaughan	I tagged this label as [budget] to separate it from the Denver CO label.
LaurenceD SUBS 23rd Sep 2023		Vinyl Album [no artist listed] - Peppermint Twist	Another twist LP by anonymous performers on a label I've never seen before. The first track is a pretty good copy of Joey Dee's version. The rest are kind of in the style of Chubby Checker.
LaurenceD SUBS 23rd Sep 2023		Vinyl Album Fleetwood Mac - The Original Fleetwood Mac (1977)	I seem to remember having read speculation that some of these tracks actually originated from a 'Bluesbreakers' session that was also overseen by Mike Vernon.
