musictom SUBS 5th Mar 2016		Vinyl Album Aretha Franklin - Aretha (1980)	Actually cut-out and promo are two different things. Promos are give to radio and press to promote the record. They are often mutilated in some fashion to discourage selling. Cut-out (meaning cut out of the catalog) is when an record has stopped selling and remaining stock is being sold off at reduced price (with no return privileges). They are marked in some fashion to indicate no return. The net result may look the same; it may be hard to tell a promo from a cut-out after the fact.
musictom SUBS 1st Mar 2016		Vinyl Album Stevie Wonder - Stevie Wonder Live (1970)	Both images 992076-992077 have 2-9-70 scratched in dead wax.
musictom SUBS 1st Mar 2016		Vinyl Album Stevie Wonder - Talking Book (1972)	Promo copy has RCA "H" crossed out in deadwax and replaced by an "I". As I recall Motown didn't make a lot of white label promos on the west Coast, mid to late 1970s.
musictom SUBS 28th Feb 2016		Vinyl Album Stevie Wonder - Looking Back (1977)	For my copy {991039 - 991044} which has never been separated, here are the Monarch markings: Record 1: A - Δ22821 F - Δ22829-X Record 2: B - No monarch markings E - Δ22819 Record 3: C - No monarch markings D - No monarch markings
musictom SUBS 28th Feb 2016		Vinyl Album Stevie Wonder - Innervisions (1973)	On Monarch pressing {990999 - 991000}, H for RCA Hollywood crossed out on both sides.
musictom SUBS 26th Feb 2016		Vinyl Album The Who - The Kids Are Alright (1979)	B side image very blurry due to printer not aligning colors correctly. If anyone has a clean copy, feel free to submit.
musictom SUBS 24th Feb 2016		Vinyl Album War - All Day Music (1971)	I think I was at that Hollywood Bowl concert on June 30, 1971.
musictom SUBS 23rd Feb 2016		Vinyl Album T. Rex - T. Rex (1971)	checkm8: Your memory is correct. Here are the rest of the cover images. This was a pretty screwy package: no way to keep it all together in one piece.
musictom SUBS 23rd Feb 2016		Vinyl Album The Spencer Davis Group - I'm A Man (1967)	With acknowledgment to TheDroid, here are the front and back covers without the shrink wrap.
musictom SUBS 23rd Feb 2016		Vinyl Album 10cc - Deceptive Bends (1977)	I'm using an iPhone as a camera and taking the photos outside in the sun. Tends to work pretty good; little to no reflection.
musictom SUBS 23rd Feb 2016		Vinyl Album 10cc - Deceptive Bends (1977)	With acknowledgment to nicoldo64, here is a slightly better set of cover images without the flash reflection.
musictom SUBS 22nd Feb 2016		Vinyl Album Them - Them Featuring Van Morrison (1972)	Interesting story on Gloria (Quoted from text in column 2): [Baby Please Don't Go] Released in late '64 b/w "Gloria," it never quite made the upper brackets of the surveys, but a few months later Parrot-London was smart enough to merely flip it over and ship "Gloria" to all the radio stations and rack jobbers (with "Baby Please Don't Go" still the flip), and the rest is history. Almost. Them's version of "Gloria" was a monster hit in the West, but never quite made it across most of the rest of America. A few months later a prototype punk rock group out of Chicago called the Shadows Of Knight covered it and hit everywhere in the country except the West, where everybody had heard, cruised and danced to and memorized the real original until placebos were unthinkable. This is exactly as I remember it in the Los Angeles area. I NEVER heard the Shadows of Knight version until a few years ago.
musictom SUBS 19th Feb 2016		Vinyl Album Thunderclap Newman - Hollywood Dream (1970)	This album was reissued under MCA distribution (MCA-354) with a different cover.
musictom SUBS 19th Feb 2016		Vinyl Album Ten Years After - A Space In Time (1971)	Here is a set of images with PC prefix. Pressed by Terre Haute, I believe.
musictom SUBS 15th Feb 2016		Vinyl Album Rod Stewart - Every Picture Tells A Story (1971)	My copy, identical to {Images #530218 & 530219} WAS pressed by RCA hollywood. Feels like Dynaflex but no such markings.
musictom SUBS 14th Feb 2016		Vinyl Album Rod Stewart - The Rod Stewart Album (1969)	According to Rod this album is also known as "THIN". On some covers the word appears at the bottom left in small type.
musictom SUBS 14th Feb 2016		Vinyl Album Al Stewart - Modern Times (1975)	Images {977085 - 977086} possibly pressed by GRT, Nashville.
musictom SUBS 13th Feb 2016		Vinyl Album Electric Light Orchestra - Out Of The Blue (1977)	You might try a camera phone rather than the scanner. Also you might send one in and maybe we can adjust it.
musictom SUBS 13th Feb 2016		Vinyl Album Paul Simon - There Goes Rhymin' Simon (1973)	Actually HarvestmanMan's front cover is a bit different; it does NOT have the Kodachrome credit.
musictom SUBS 13th Feb 2016		Vinyl Album Santana - Santana (1969)	W.B.lbl: My labels {975770} look like yours but pressed by Santa Maria, I believe.
musictom SUBS 12th Feb 2016		Vinyl Album Mitch Ryder And The Detroit Wheels - Greatest Hits (1972)	Record labels only about 3 5/8" in diameter.
musictom SUBS 11th Feb 2016		Vinyl Album The Rolling Stones - Some Girls (1978)	Here are the Monarch images.
musictom SUBS 11th Feb 2016		Vinyl Album The Rolling Stones - More Hot Rocks (Big Hits & Fazed Cookies) (1972)	Here are the other 3 sides to go with Diognes' B side. From Allentown PA, I believe.
musictom SUBS 10th Feb 2016		Vinyl Album The Rolling Stones - Sticky Fingers (1971)	Here is a set of promo images from Monarch.
musictom SUBS 9th Feb 2016		Vinyl Album The Jimi Hendrix Experience / Otis Redding - Historic Performances Recorded At The Monterey International Pop Festival (1970)	Here is another set of images from Santa Maria.
musictom SUBS 8th Feb 2016		Vinyl Album Elvis Presley - 100 Super Rocks (1977)	Track N5: Polka Salad Annie ???
musictom SUBS 8th Feb 2016		Vinyl Album Elvis Presley - 100 Super Rocks (1977)	I should get double time for putting in this one.
musictom SUBS 8th Feb 2016		Vinyl Album Elvis Presley - Elvis' Golden Records (1962)	I've got this (tan labels) and another Elvis album where the Indianapolis "I" is scratched out. I do see a hand scribed "WA". Since RCA Hollywood had closed by this time, any chance this stands for Waddell?
musictom SUBS 5th Feb 2016		Vinyl Album Nilsson - Nilsson Schmilsson (1971)	My orange Hollywood copy looks identical to the Indianapolis one here.
musictom SUBS 4th Feb 2016		Vinyl Album Mott The Hoople - Mott (1973)	The record represented here by {966865} shows a Santa Maria "S" but also shows what looks like a Capitol Jacksonville "0". All numbers in dead wax hand written and upside down relative to most CBS albums I've seen.
