Neil Forbes 3rd Oct 2015		Vinyl Album Chase - Chase (1971)	Bitte schoen!
Neil Forbes 3rd Oct 2015		Vinyl Album Various Artists - Juggernauts Of The Early 70's (1973)	Hmmmm.... I'd half expected Emitt Rhodes to have made it into this set.... Nope! Not there. Pity, that!
Neil Forbes 3rd Oct 2015		Vinyl Album Chase - Chase (1971)	Looking at the label, likely an Asian pressing, probably Singaporean or Malaysian.
Neil Forbes 3rd Oct 2015		Vinyl Album Roger Whittaker - The Very Best Of Roger Whittaker (1974)	I've got an Aussie issue, would've liked to see the cover of this to "compare notes" as it were.
Neil Forbes 3rd Oct 2015		Vinyl Album Roger Whittaker - The Very Best Of Roger Whittaker (1974)	I'd like to have seen the cover for this, to see if it's the same as the Aussie issue I have.
Neil Forbes 3rd Oct 2015		Vinyl Album Fleetwood Mac - Then Play On (1969)	G'day Magic Marmalade! Question: Do you record your tracks into MP3 Audio files? If you do, then you can correct the skip-back....skip-back....skip-back effect. Record your track, and where it starts to skip back, apply light finger pressure on the pickup head to help it past the sticking point(s). At the end of the recording, when the waveform comes up on your screen, you can locate and edit out the skip-back....skip-back....skip-back effect. I think my question is now redundant by reading your 11/3/2015 comments(hope you didn't dampen your pillow too much).
Neil Forbes 3rd Oct 2015		Vinyl Album Lee Michaels - 5th (1971)	Track B1 - all-time classic R. & B.!
Neil Forbes 3rd Oct 2015		Vinyl Album The Rockin' Rebels - Wild Weekend (1962)	I recall seeing a British EMI/Stateside 45 of the title cut, the B-side of which had "Wild Weekend Cha-Cha".
Neil Forbes 3rd Oct 2015		Vinyl Album Johnny And The Hurricanes - Time To Rock	Yep, and you "Ran All The Way Home" to hear it, too, didn't you, RC?(ha-ha) See how I neatly worked the B-side of that song into this post.
Neil Forbes 3rd Oct 2015		Vinyl Album Various Artists - Ripper '76 (1976)	It should be MacAinsh. Whether Mc or Mac, the next letter after the 'c" should always be an upper-case. Unfortunately Macquarie(as often seen) doesn't follow this rule. It should be MacQuarie.
Neil Forbes 3rd Oct 2015		Vinyl Album Johnny And The Hurricanes - Time To Rock	Looking at the label, the copyright warning around the edge is common to Britain, Australia/NZ and some Euro countries who print the warning in English. The LP is likely Euro origin.
Neil Forbes 3rd Oct 2015		Vinyl Album Johnny And The Hurricanes - Time To Rock	That's not the only error. "The Hucklebuck" composer details are also wrong. It is, in fact, two people, Alfred AND Gibson. Usually credited in this order but sometimes inverted to be Gibson/Alfred on other labels.
Neil Forbes 3rd Oct 2015		Vinyl Album Various Artists - Mind Bender (1975)	Geez, look at all these K-Tel and Polygram Top-40 LPs comin' out of the "woodwork", would ya! Masses and masses of 'em! Yep, I'm guilty too. I've put quite a few up here myself as well.
Neil Forbes 3rd Oct 2015		Vinyl Album Various Artists - Mind Bender (1975)	@Jasper, sorry mate, Discogs told you a "Porky"(Porky Pie = Lie), RC has come up with the right issue date, March, 1975. We'll just get Mod to make the necessary changes, ay? Cheers!
Neil Forbes 3rd Oct 2015		Vinyl Album Various Artists - Ripper (1975)	We now know how much you paid for this, Jasper! Oooeee- chirpy-chirpy-cheap-cheap! ha-ha. but your post for this appears before your mention of it on the home page. Strange, that!
Neil Forbes 3rd Oct 2015		Vinyl Album Various Artists - Mind Bender (1975)	The year of this album would actually be 1975, owing to the track B7 being recorded in January that year in tribute to those who suffered losses due to Cyclone Tracy on Xmas Eve, 1974.
Neil Forbes 3rd Oct 2015		Vinyl Album Various Artists - Mind Bender (1975)	Thanks, Jasper, saves me or Record Collector the job of putting these up on this site. Same applies to the Disco Motion LP you also put up.
Neil Forbes 3rd Oct 2015		Vinyl Album Faron Young - The All-Time Great Hits Of Faron Young (1963)	He was certainly an Early Riser! ha-ha.
Neil Forbes 3rd Oct 2015		Vinyl Album Stevie Wonder - Conversation Peace (1995)	@Jordansongs, no, but someone could've told him about it. Then again, he's never seen any of his keyboards, has he? But he certainly has a "feel" for them!
Neil Forbes 3rd Oct 2015		Vinyl Album Faron Young - The All-Time Great Hits Of Faron Young (1963)	Capitol's *Star Line*... You wouldn't know whether to play the record or try to launch it and sail away!(ha-ha)
Neil Forbes 3rd Oct 2015		Vinyl Album Stevie Wonder - Conversation Peace (1995)	I wonder where Stevie got the idea for this cover..... Beatles, perhaps?
Neil Forbes 2nd Oct 2015		Vinyl Album Camel - Breathless (1978)	This'd be enough to give you the "hump"! (ha-ha).
Neil Forbes 2nd Oct 2015		Vinyl Album Johnny O'Keefe - The Living Legend Of Johnny O'Keefe (1975)	I bought this album originally on cassette(but have since lost the cassette) This is the replacement. I'm going to check the contents of this LP against a Festival 3-CD set I have, using from the LP only the tracks that aren't on the CD set to create a CD of this album.
Neil Forbes 2nd Oct 2015		Vinyl Album Johnny O'Keefe - The Living Legend Of Johnny O'Keefe (1975)	To be sure, to be sure, to be sure!(Oh, wait, that's a triple-layer condom!) Ha-ha!
Neil Forbes 2nd Oct 2015		Vinyl Album Johnny O'Keefe - The Living Legend Of Johnny O'Keefe (1975)	Sorry 'bout the quality of the rear cover image, but hey, what can you expect from a 2nd-hand record?
Neil Forbes 2nd Oct 2015		Vinyl Album Johnny O'Keefe - The Living Legend Of Johnny O'Keefe (1975)	Here it is, RC! Subtitled "A 40th Birthday Tribute", the album was issued in 1975, the number, NA-456, is a full 16 issues before the "Tear Jerkers" LP. The pen-marks around the labels were made by the original owner, whomever he/she was. The autographed poster advertised on the gold sticker on the front cover is long gone! This little black duck missed out because I bought this second-hand. The sleeve is actually a gate-fold with pics and cover notes inside, I'll scan these and add them later.
Neil Forbes 1st Oct 2015		Vinyl Album John Lennon - Mind Games (1973)	Ah, now I see, and yes, He had a "Pang" for May and Yoko was crying "Ono, I've lost him!" Ha-ha!
Neil Forbes 1st Oct 2015		Vinyl Album Various Artists - 20 Great Tear Jerkers (1976)	Keep an eye out, RC, I'll submit it in the next couple of days(the J O'K 40th Anniversary tribute LP, that is).
Neil Forbes 1st Oct 2015		Vinyl Album John Lennon - Mind Games (1973)	I agree on your first comment, RC, the rest of the album is just Ono-obsessed dross. On your second comment, sorry, I can't see in the cover but the separation explains the mood of the album.
Neil Forbes 1st Oct 2015		Vinyl Album John Lennon - Mind Games (1973)	This is the issue I have, but blow me, why did I even bother to buy it? It's only because it was an "import" that I bothered with it at all. Content-wise it was a huge disappointment with so much of it showing Lennon's near-obscene obsession with Yoko Ono.
