philwill SUBS 17th May 2021		Vinyl Album Hubert Laws - Afro-Classic (1971)	My version is not gatefold.
philwill SUBS 16th Mar 2021		Vinyl Album Various Artists - The Charly Black Music Sampler (1981)	[YouTube Video]
philwill SUBS 16th Mar 2021		Vinyl Album Various Artists - The Charly Black Music Sampler (1981)	[YouTube Video]
philwill SUBS 15th Mar 2021		Vinyl Album Various Artists - Electro 1 (1983)	Official Charts confirms 22 Oct 1983 as the date this album entered the charts so 9th Dec 1983 must be a typo in the Blues & Soul article and 9th Oct 1983 would seem more likely but Music Master Record Catalogue 16th Ed. (1990) has Sep 1983! I also find it odd that Electro 2 would have been released just a week after Electro 1, according to the Blues & Soul article!
philwill SUBS 26th Feb 2021		Vinyl Album Heavy Jelly [Head] - Take Me Down To The Water (1984)	Indeed, it is! Reissue of 1970 album by the band that included Jackie Lomax.
philwill SUBS 26th Feb 2021		Vinyl Album Various Artists - 20 Heavy Hits (1970)	Added back cover variant (no price in TV screen) and label variant (green text). A version also exists with red labels.
philwill SUBS 22nd Feb 2021		Vinyl Album Various Artists - Space Invasion (1980)	Yes, it is 'Claatu' on the cover and, yes, it should have been 'Klaatu' ! But then, quality control was never Ronco's strong point :-)
philwill SUBS 20th Feb 2021		Vinyl Album Various Artists - Hits From The Swinging Sixties (1980)	A non-gatefold version also exists, with the right hand inner gatefold becoming the back cover (see image). I wonder which was released first? The only date given in Music Master Record Catalogue 16th Ed. (1990) is Aug 1980 but it is entered twice with the same date!
philwill SUBS 7th Jan 2021		Vinyl Album Herman's Hermits - The Very Best Of Herman's Hermits (1984)	Despite what it says in the sleeve notes, that's Lou Adler and not Larry Adler in the Barbara Campbell pseudonym.
philwill SUBS 30th Dec 2020		Vinyl Album Steppenwolf - Steppenwolf Gold (1981)	Music Master Record Catalogue 16th Ed. (1990) notes a release in Oct '80 which was deleted '81. Sadly it doesn't note any cat#s in this edition but it is likely that MCL 1502 is the Oct '80 release. It's undated here.
philwill SUBS 17th Nov 2020		Vinyl Album Various Artists - 6T's House Party	The clear red vinyl version is here
philwill SUBS 12th Nov 2020		Vinyl Album Various Artists - All Good Clean Fun (1971)	Booklet images added (without blank pages).
philwill SUBS 7th Nov 2020		Vinyl Album Steeleye Span - Below The Salt (1972)	The first pressing had a sleeve printed by Robor Limited. Subsequent represses had MacNeill sleeves. The cover image with the sticker is from an early 1974 repress, no doubt capitalising on the success of the "Gaudete" single in Dec '73 - Jan '74.
philwill SUBS 3rd Oct 2020		Vinyl Album Wishbone Ash - Pilgrimage (1971)	This site might prove helpful in determining the chronological sequence of the label variations.
philwill SUBS 24th May 2020		Vinyl Album Liquid Gold - Liquid Gold (1980)	Couple of Russian "unofficial" CDs is all I've unearthed
philwill SUBS 21st Jan 2019		Vinyl Album Various Artists - 25 Rockin' & Rollin' Greats (1972)	With a nod to @misa443, higher res. scans of front and back covers added.
philwill SUBS 8th Jan 2019		Vinyl Album Various Artists - Back To The Sixties (1988)	The bass clef symbol indicates a Sonopress pressing, according to this. But you've probably found that out anyway in the almost 5 intervening years ;-)
philwill SUBS 14th Nov 2018		Vinyl Album Earth, Wind And Fire - The Best Of Earth, Wind And Fire Vol. 1 (1978)	Another version exists, with the same cat#, which has, like the US release, Can't Hide Love at A3 rather than Saturday Nite
philwill SUBS 2nd Nov 2018		Vinyl Album Roxy Music - For Your Pleasure (1977)	@Magic Marmalade: if you want Polydor T-shirts, check this site out :-)
philwill SUBS 9th Oct 2018		Vinyl Album Various Artists - Ripe Beats (1979)	[YouTube Video]
philwill SUBS 3rd Aug 2018		Vinyl Album Haircut One Hundred - Pelican West (1982)	Just added back sleeve and label scans from my UK copy and wondered, with all due respect, if @malcyramone's images 810482 - 810484 would me more at home on the linked European release, with the European cat# appearing on the labels and a German-made sleeve?
philwill SUBS 23rd Jul 2018		Vinyl Album America - History (1975)	Labels added for 80s reissue where sleeve (back & spine) retains earlier cat# WB 56 169 but labels go with K 56 169. 1983 perhaps?
philwill SUBS 25th Jun 2018		Vinyl Album The Time - The Time (1981)	My copy had Side 2 labels on both sides, hence the "editing". Hopefully someone can add a proper Side 1 label :)
philwill SUBS 23rd Jun 2018		Vinyl Album Lonnie Liston Smith - Dreams Of Tomorrow (1983)	Scanned barcode shows as 0043173844712
philwill SUBS 20th Jun 2018		Vinyl Album Mezzoforte - Surprise Surprise (1983)	Some copies were released with a "Special Offer" sticker - included with the release were the 12" single Dreamland / Shooting Star, a merchandise flyer and a car sticker. Images of both stickers and the flyer have now been added.
philwill SUBS 3rd Jun 2018		Vinyl Album Hubert Laws - The Chicago Theme (1975)	Added label images from commercial release.
philwill SUBS 3rd Jun 2018		Vinyl Album Hubert Laws - In The Beginning (1974)	Added label images from commercial release.
philwill SUBS 2nd Jun 2018		Vinyl Album Various Artists - The World Of Blues Power (1969)	Two more label variants added: apart from the tracklist layout differences, these also show the cat# as just SPA.14, although the sleeve is the same, with SPA-R 14. So, SPA.14 added to Cat#s.
philwill SUBS 1st Jun 2018		Vinyl Album Various Artists - Garden Of Delights (1971)	In January 1969 Radio 1 started a new show called "What's New" with DJ Pete Drummond reviewing new releases. This was the show's theme tune: [YouTube Video]
philwill SUBS 29th May 2018		Vinyl Album Small Faces - Ogdens' Nut Gone Flake (1968)	Pink label versions from late 60s added. ( mod edit..moved up in queue...John)
