mikec2137 SUBS ● 10th Jun 2024		Vinyl Album Garnet Mimms And The Enchanters - Cry Baby And 11 Other Hits (1963)	Track A4 is Anytime You WANT Me on the labels, but Anytime You NEED Me on the sleeve.
mikec2137 SUBS ● 10th Jun 2024		Vinyl Album Georgie Fame - Bonnie And Clyde (1973)	Worth getting just for track A5. And a damn sight cheaper than acquiring it as an original 45
mikec2137 SUBS ● 10th Jun 2024		Vinyl Album Julia Lee And Her Boy Friends - Party Time (1951)	I've added a set of scans of what I assume is a later edition. I've just played the whole album and, Wow, what a great album. Fabulous R&B and 'precursor' rock and roll, very rude, and for a record over seventy years old the quality of the sound is incredible. Much, much better audio than most of my discs from the sixties and seventies. I have no idea how this got a release in the UK when it did.
mikec2137 SUBS ● 5th Jun 2024		Vinyl Album Julia Lee And Her Boy Friends - Party Time (1951)	King Size Papa [YouTube Video] Tune reminiscent of Rock Around The Clock of a few years later
mikec2137 SUBS ● 26th May 2024		Vinyl Album Ruby And The Romantics - Our Day Will Come (1963)	Full set of scans added
mikec2137 SUBS ● 26th May 2024		Vinyl Album Inez And Charlie Foxx - Inez And Charlie Foxx (1965)	Full set of first issue scans added
mikec2137 SUBS ● 26th May 2024		Vinyl Album Various Artists - Apollo Saturday Night (1964)	Full set of scans added
mikec2137 SUBS ● 24th May 2024		Vinyl Album The Wallace Brothers - Soul Connection (1966)	Actually on Sue, not Island. My fault! I've asked for a correction. mod edit: so Sue me! All done.
mikec2137 SUBS ● 24th May 2024		Vinyl Album Various Artists - The Duke And The Peacock (1968)	Most of these tracks had previously been issued in the UK as singles on Vogue/Vocalion. Surely this LP would have been issued on Sue if the label wasn't in the throws of 'amalgamating' with Action, who would carry on issuing tracks from Duke and Peacock.
mikec2137 SUBS ● 23rd May 2024		Vinyl Album Robert Parker - Barefootin' (1966)	Full set of scans added
mikec2137 SUBS ● 23rd May 2024		Vinyl Album Barbara Lynn - The Barbara Lynn Story (1967)	Clearer sleeve scans, and label scans added.
mikec2137 SUBS ● 23rd May 2024		Vinyl Album John Foster - John Foster Sings (1966)	Perhaps not the most essential item for Island label fans.
mikec2137 SUBS ● 23rd May 2024		Vinyl Album Various Artists - Pakistani Soul Session (1967)	Just added this. Apologies if I've got any of the artist names wrong.
mikec2137 SUBS ● 23rd May 2024		Vinyl Album The Settlers - The Settlers (1967)	Label scans added
mikec2137 SUBS ● 20th May 2024		Vinyl Album Larry Williams - Recorded Live! Larry Williams On Stage	Swedish (I think) release of the UK Sue LP (ILP 922)
mikec2137 SUBS ● 20th May 2024		Vinyl Album Billie Holiday - The Last Live Recording Of Billie Holiday (1965)	Swedish (I think!) release of the UK Island LP (ILP 929)
mikec2137 SUBS ● 19th May 2024		Vinyl Album Various Artists - 50 Minutes 24 Seconds Of Recorded Dynamite (1965)	Gosh, these Sue label LPs don't half have a lot of tracks. It takes forever to enter them!
mikec2137 SUBS ● 19th May 2024		Vinyl Album Various Artists - Pure Blues Volume One (1965)	This LP shares its catalogue number with the Sue Sampler Record For Clubs
mikec2137 SUBS ● 17th May 2024		Vinyl Album The Blues Busters - Behold! (1965)	Labels added. Note, Bluesbusters (one word) on the labels.
mikec2137 SUBS ● 17th May 2024		Vinyl Album Keith And Enid - Keith And Enid Sing (1963)	Red and white labels added
mikec2137 SUBS ● 19th Nov 2023		Vinyl Album Various Artists - This Is Sue (1969)	My impression is that which label (Island or Sue) any given single release appeared on depended on who the powers that be thought would be likely to buy. Nominally Island catered for the black ska/reggae record buyer and Sue for the white R&B enthusiast. This meant that what would seem like natural Sue singles material ended up on Island. (Joe Haywood, Roscoe Gordon, Shirley and Lee, Mel Turner) When it came to LPs, there are a few releases that came out on Island when Sue would have seemed like a more natural home. Bobby Bland, O.V. Wright, Guy Stevens Testament Of Rock and Roll, and the aforementioned The Duke and The Peacock (which I think I have two copies of) I can only assume that by this time faith in Sue as a label was fading, and Action hadn't yet got going. As an aside I'd love to add the missing Island/Sue LPs to the database but I can't scan 12" covers. Do other people have bigger scanners?
mikec2137 SUBS ● 29th Oct 2023		Vinyl Album Various Artists - Hit '67 (1967)	I sold all my reggae/ska LPs (along with all the singles) a few years ago. I was amazed at the prices then, but now I'm thinking I should have tried to hang on to them a bit longer. I've added quite a few 45s to the database, but though I've got hundreds of LPs I could add, including soul compilations, I can't scan 12" sleeves so they will have to wait!
mikec2137 SUBS ● 28th Oct 2023		Vinyl Album Various Artists - Hit '67 (1967)	Shouldn't the title be HIT '67?
mikec2137 SUBS ● 26th Sep 2022		Vinyl Album Various Artists - A Drop Of The Hard Stuff (1970)	Test press scans added
mikec2137 SUBS ● 22nd Nov 2021		Vinyl Album Gogi Grant - Both Ends Of The Candle (1957)	Labels added. [Mod: added Bill]
mikec2137 SUBS ● 22nd Nov 2021		Vinyl Album Gogi Grant - Both Ends Of The Candle (1957)	Hi LaurenceD, I've just checked on the copy in my possession. (Not really part of my collection, but just sat in a box!) Indeed, track B8 is 'Bill'. If I have time later I'll upload labels.
mikec2137 SUBS ● 17th Sep 2021		Vinyl Album James Brown And His Famous Flames - Tour The U.S.A. (1965)	Set of scans including demo labels added
mikec2137 SUBS ● 17th Sep 2021		Vinyl Album James Brown And The Famous Flames - Tell Me What You`re Gonna Do (1964)	Set of scans added
mikec2137 SUBS ● 16th Sep 2021		Vinyl Album Various Artists - Doctor Soul (1966)	Set of rather bad scans added. Anyone any tips for getting images of LP sleeves without a big enough scanner?
