mister_tmg 24th Jul 2024		Vinyl Album John Inman - Are You Being Served Sir? (1975)	Thank you Phil. I couldn’t find anything when I looked in the newspaper archives online. Pages 38-39 in that link has the advert for this album. 28 November may just refer to the Vic Lewis album? But November seems a good bet for the other releases listed.
mister_tmg 23rd Jul 2024		Vinyl Album John Inman - Are You Being Served Sir? (1975)	Great album, but does anyone have an exact release date?
mister_tmg 18th Nov 2021		Vinyl Album Petula Clark - Don't Give Up · American Boys (1968)	No, I don't own the album, nor have I seen a physical copy. I probably just transcribed it from an eBay listing or similar, so Mike is more reliable if he owns it.
mister_tmg 8th Sep 2020		Vinyl Album Vera Lynn - Vera Lynn Concert (1955)	Thanks for confirming that. It seems that the American issue of the LP on London LL3294 may have had "Wishing" on it, or it may be on another LP. However, having a listen, I can hear the melody of "Wishing" in the background as that medley ends, so I suppose it is there, but it was obviously intended as a whole track, unless it's a mistake on the sleeve. Maybe Vera did sing it at that concert and it was edited out.
mister_tmg 10th Mar 2019		Vinyl Album Petula Clark - Uptown With Petula Clark (1965)	Most of these tracks were originally released in mono, and I doubt they were recorded on multitrack. So if they are stereo here, they are probably rechannelled. From memory: A3, A4, A5, B1, B2, B3, B5, B6 were only issued in mono and most predate the stereo era.
mister_tmg 4th Mar 2019		Vinyl Album Petula Clark - Live At The Royal Albert Hall (1973)	It’s on PetNet, could be a typo? Discography Different cover though so it seems to be unique.
mister_tmg 20th Dec 2018		Vinyl Album The Krankies - It's Fan-Dabi-Dozi (1981)	A5: I really hope that composer isn’t Dorothy Squires.
mister_tmg 8th Mar 2018		Vinyl Album Various Artists - Tribute To Michael Holliday (1964)	A different audience I think - although it does have two Lennon-McCartney tracks!
mister_tmg 16th Feb 2018		Vinyl Album Various Artists - Tribute To Michael Holliday (1964)	Thanks - I also saw it listed in an EMI catalogue as mono only. Interesting that EMI weren’t issuing everything in both mono and stereo. I would think the quality of that track was good, as the tapes would still survive. Failing that, a good pressing of the LP sounds fine. It’s not commonly found, so perhaps it wasn’t a big seller.
mister_tmg 26th Jan 2018		Vinyl Album Various Artists - The Big Wheels Of Motown (1978)	Interesting that the labels state "Stereo": 'Jimmy Mack' is usually re-issued in mono. The original Martha Reeves (stereo) LP "Watchout" has a different version to that which was on the single. I'd assume it's that version included here, unless it's the single version in fake stereo. It runs about ten seconds shorter (2:44 rather than 2:53). In 2005, there was an "Extended Stereo Mix" released on CD (3:10), and in 2013, "50th Anniversary - The Singles Collection 1962-1972" created a new stereo mix of the single version (3:07). There seems to be some demand for this album to be re-issued on CD. My mum had it for years. I suppose you can recreate it by finding the tracks elsewhere.
mister_tmg 25th Jan 2018		Vinyl Album Various Artists - The Golden Age Of British Dance Bands 6 (1976)	Originally part of an 8-LP box set.
mister_tmg 17th Nov 2017		Vinyl Album Frankie Laine - Lover's Laine (1955)	This was the first issue of "Answer Me, My Love" (the amended lyric), recorded 29th December 1953 with Norman Luboff Choir & Carl Fischer Piano.
mister_tmg 30th Sep 2017		Vinyl Album Petula Clark - The English Sound (1967)	Thanks. Not surprising, but odd for a stereo album.
mister_tmg 30th Sep 2017		Vinyl Album Petula Clark - The English Sound (1967)	Thanks for the review. Can you tell if the Petula tracks are re-channelled stereo?
mister_tmg 27th Sep 2017		Vinyl Album Various Artists - Tribute To Michael Holliday (1964)	I'm pretty sure this was only issued in Mono. The concert was staged to raise funds for the then-recently departed Michael Holliday's son Michael. I wonder if the LP royalties went to him, as it doesn't say. The tracks by Alma Cogan and Dorothy Squires have been re-issued on CD, but sadly the whole album hasn't.
mister_tmg 31st Aug 2017		Vinyl Album George Formby - Too Young To Marry (1956)	Sold for £150 on eBay
mister_tmg 31st Aug 2017		Vinyl Album George Formby - [none]	Sold for £80 on eBay
mister_tmg 31st Aug 2017		Vinyl Album George Formby - What Is The Stuff To Give The Troops? / Postscript To The Nine O'Clock News	Sold on eBay for £100
mister_tmg 22nd Aug 2017		Vinyl Album George Formby - Zip Goes A Million	Sold for £250 on eBay
mister_tmg 16th Jul 2017		Vinyl Album Les Brown And His Orchestra - Dance With Les Brown	The Doris Day tracks had not been released before this (an American LP in 1954), recorded in 1946 and 1945 respectively. I hadn't known that Terry Parker is duetting with her on the second track.
mister_tmg 5th Jun 2017		Vinyl Album Various Artists - Let's All Go To The Music-Hall (1975)	Added scans, courtesy of Michael Daly (son of Kevin Daly, the compiler).
mister_tmg 23rd May 2017		Vinyl Album Petula Clark - Greatest Hits (1982)	Also issued on cassette
mister_tmg 23rd May 2017		Vinyl Album Petula Clark - Petula Clark	Also issued on tape
mister_tmg 23rd May 2017		Vinyl Album Petula Clark - Hello Paris (1968)	Also pressed on orange vinyl!
mister_tmg 17th May 2017		Vinyl Album Petula Clark - Petula '66	I suspect there may be another issue of this on Trans-Canada, and the cover doesn't have the Vogue label or catalogue number printed on it. See here: Petula discography
mister_tmg 17th May 2017		Vinyl Album Petula Clark - Downtown (1965)	Also re-issued with the "Seven Arts" labels.
mister_tmg 14th Apr 2017		Vinyl Album Petula Clark - You Are My Lucky Star (1957)	True, but it's a variation on the original album, so it can be linked - that's what I was lead to believe from the forums here.
mister_tmg 12th Apr 2017		Vinyl Album Petula Clark - You Are My Lucky Star (1957)	Because it's a reissue? The Beatles LP reissues are linked to their originals.
mister_tmg 6th Apr 2017		Vinyl Album Kathy Kirby - My Thanks To You (1968)	B5: Always True To You In My Fashion It's always struck me that Kathy is singing this to her partner and manager Bert Ambrose. Quite poignant given the nature of their relationship.
mister_tmg 3rd Apr 2017		Vinyl Album Petula Clark - Os Grandes Sucessos De Petula Clark (1989)	I think they've got the composer of "With All My Heart" mixed up with the one for the Dorothy Squires recording of the same title.
