Problem Child 15th Dec 2019		Vinyl Album The Searchers - Sugar And Spice (1963)	The 16th October was a Wednesday? The lead single was released two days later on the 18th, a Friday. This didn't enter the LP charts until the 16th November - a month to reach the charts, given that they were rising stars at that point? Though it should be pointed out that their first LP was still in the charts at the time of this release.
Problem Child 15th Dec 2019		Vinyl Album The Searchers - Meet The Searchers (1963)	I have a release date of 26th July for this, can't remember where I got it from though. It entered the LP charts on 10th August.
Problem Child 25th Nov 2019		Vinyl Album Sheila - Toujours Des Beaux Jours (1965)	Info and label images added. Usually at the end of each year a compilation 12 track LP of Sheila's 3 EP's released during that year was released. Quite often titled after one or two of the hits contained or numbered. This mini 10'' LP, 'No.3', slightly unusual, features tracks from just two EP's, one from October '64 and the other from March '65. It may have been released during the summer as the standard format was returned to at the end of '65.
Problem Child 12th Nov 2019		Vinyl Album The Damned - Evil Spirits (2018)	Apparently... there is a version of this on white vinyl and comes with a guitar plectrum and a postcard or something, though I have never seen it.
Problem Child 9th Nov 2019		Vinyl Album Stray Cats - 40 (2019)	My copy came with a 'Made in Canada' sticker on the back and is in blue with pink splatter vinyl, and a Poster + Download card. I think this is a standard US version. I also see that some record stores seem to have produced a clear vinyl with red splatter effect version and another colour version. The sleeve rear is almost the same as above, but without the printed bar code and only the one logo of 'Surfdog' not all three under the management info. It's also got a different cat/bar code number.
Problem Child 6th Nov 2019		Vinyl Album The Seekers - Live At The Talk Of The Town (1968)	Original first issue labels added. (Could they be put in order at the top). This record is in near new condition, I no longer want it, so if anyone is interested please pm me asap as it will soon go to the charity shop!
Problem Child 12th May 2019		Vinyl Album Elvis Presley With The Jordanaires - His Hand In Mine (1961)	'Melody Maker' dated 10th June gives a small review of this and a release date of 13th May.
Problem Child 12th May 2019		Vinyl Album Cliff Richard - Listen To Cliff! (1961)	'Melody Maker' dated 10th June gives a review of this and a release date of 6th May.
Problem Child 16th Apr 2019		Vinyl Album Françoise Hardy - Personne D'Autre (2018)	Audio clip of Side 2 track 2; 'Train Special' added. [YouTube Video] Video clip of Side 1 track 5; [YouTube Video]
Problem Child 16th Apr 2019		Vinyl Album Françoise Hardy - Personne D'Autre (2018)	Info added, scans to follow one day! This is probably her best LP in a while and reached the top of the French charts, so I understand, and well deserved too! Comes with inner sleeve with lyrics and info.
Problem Child 14th Apr 2019		Vinyl Album John Ono Lennon And Yoko Ono Lennon - Wedding Album (2019)	For those interested in this... it may be worth your while searching on 'You Tube' for Sean Lennon's 'unveiling' of this deluxe box set. Spooky!
Problem Child 20th Mar 2019		Vinyl Album Downliners Sect - The Rock Sects In (1978)	I have another version of this with the other Charly logo/label version. Side A has the Charly cartoon character logo, while side B is orange with both sides info printed in black, which I think may the slightly earlier pressing. The cover is exactly the same.
Problem Child 20th Mar 2019		Vinyl Album Downliners Sect - The Sect (1964)	Apparently this was released in December. I will double-check my sources.
Problem Child 15th Mar 2019		Vinyl Album The Heartbreakers - Live At Max's Kansas City (1979)	According to 'Record Mirror', 'Record News', this was to be released on 5/7/79.
Problem Child 15th Mar 2019		Vinyl Album The B-52's - The B-52's (1979)	Listed in 'Record Mirror' as to be released on 13/7/79, a week after its US release.
Problem Child 2nd Feb 2019		Vinyl Album The Seekers - Live At The Talk Of The Town (1968)	Entered the LP charts on 14th September '68 and reached No. 2. They hadn't had an album in the charts for nearly a year, so, possible August release for this. Hawkmarty's label scans are of an early 70s pressing, I have the blue Columbia label version, which is the first pressing.

Problem Child 4th Jan 2019		Vinyl Album The Damned - Evil Spirits (2018)	Info added. 'Spinefarm Record appears to be something to do with 'Search And Destroy Records'.
Problem Child 30th Dec 2018		Vinyl Album Blur - Modern Life Is Rubbish (1993)	Re-my comments 4 1/2 years ago, has no one heard of this miss-pressing? Not mentioned in Record Collector's new 2020 Price Guide. A side matrix:- FOODLP 9A - 01 - 01 - 1. B side matrix:- FOODLP 6 B - 1 - 1 - 1.

Problem Child 26th Dec 2018		Vinyl Album The Beatles - "Yesterday"...And Today (1971)	I've just got a copy of this but with slight differences; the A side has; MFD. BY APPLE RECORDS, INC. in green at the bottom of the label, but the B side has no rim text like above. My sleeve has been folded slightly differently; the text top right is on the fold line on the top edge of cover and there's a little more showing of Paul's socks/ankle at the bottom edge.
Problem Child 11th Dec 2018		Vinyl Album Status Quo - Hello! (1973)	Hi jakal68, just seen your comment (one year later...). Just found the cat number on the poster - so, original inclusion, Thanks. I see the release date has not been changed yet - see my previous comment below. I would have thought one of the last two weeks of September, 21st or 28th, for release. Bearing in mind the single from it - 'Caroline' came out in the 31st August and was in the Top 30 by the 2nd week of September, singles usually preceded an LP by at least a couple of weeks back then.
Problem Child 8th Nov 2018		Vinyl Album Dr. Feelgood - Stupidity (1976)	I have two copies of this, one I bought at the time and another near new one to replace my well played copy more recently, though both look the same. My original copy has after the matrix;- A-1 U JONZ , the name is hand written, on Side 2;- B-1 U TRIDENT , the name is also handwritten. The other copy, with exactly same label has; A-2U and B-2 U on their respective sides but no handwritten names. I don't know if this signifies and earlier or later pressing, but I bought my first copy in December '76 and it included the 'free' single.
Problem Child 15th Oct 2018		Vinyl Album Various Artists - Jack Good's "Oh Boy" (1958)	I've had a copy of this for quite a while now and apart from the record being in superb condition the sleeve is little rough around the edges and the laminate lifting in places. But... it has had sellotape over the top part of the sleeve back. Because of it's age, going yellowy brown, I assumed the writing under it, which is not that clear, was written by a friend of the owners which appeared to have best wishes from... as a present. Looking at it again just now, I see that they are are signatures from;- the Dallas Boys, Neville Taylor, probably the Vernons Girls, Cliff Richard and someone else who I've yet to identify. I'm going soak it in petrol and to try and lift the tape, though I don't think all the stains will go. Will scan one day.
Problem Child 15th Oct 2018		Vinyl Album Metal Urbain - Les Hommes Morts Sont Dangereux	I have the UK issue of this, released by Rough Trade, with a different cat No.;- BLPS 8101. There are some differences to the label - it's a bit less busy with the info, and the sleeve has 3 small 'NOT TO BE EATEN' stickers on it! And there is the RT logo where the 'Clelluloid' logo appears.
