Problem Child 22nd Sep 2018		Vinyl Album ABBA - ABBA (1975)	Just picked up an official Abba annual from 1978 and it gives the release date as the 6th, which was a Friday.
Problem Child 16th Sep 2018		Vinyl Album Dave Clark Five And The Washington D.C.'s - Dave Clark Five And The Washington D.C.'s (1965)	Just picked a near mint copy of this, does anyone know how rare it is or if has any value? PS. Just found out, this is Dave Clark 5 on a couple of tracks and the rest of the album is a group called the Washington DC's, didn't notice that at first... Cheers, PC.
Problem Child 12th Jul 2018		Vinyl Album The Stranglers - No More Heroes (1977)	This entered the Album charts on 8th October '77, making the last possible release date the 30th September, which was 2 weeks after the title single, which given their current success was likely. It reached No. 2 and spent 19 weeks on the chart.
Problem Child 12th Jul 2018		Vinyl Album The Stranglers - Stranglers IV (Rattus Norvegicus) (1977)	This entered the Album charts on 30th April '77, so the May release date is wrong. Possible 8th, 15th or even 22nd April release date, depends how quick people were to pick up on their 1st LP. It reached No. 4 and spent 34 weeks on the chart.
Problem Child 30th Jan 2018		Vinyl Album Sheila - 6e Long Playing (1968)	This a direct copy of the French release. According to Sheila's own website this is a UK release. This was a custom in France for Sheila at the end of each year, it appears, they released an LP, or '33 tours', 'Long Playing' containing all the tracks from the EP's that had been released during that year. Sheila didn't actually release a proper album until 1971, called... 'Sheila's 1st Album', which contained some new tracks along with two singles. The main difference to the French release is that it has 'Made in England' on the label, though there are one or two other small details. I only have this version.
Problem Child 15th Dec 2017		Vinyl Album Sparks - Hippopotamus (2017)	Also available in clear vinyl, I was told, but it was £10 more!
Problem Child 13th Dec 2017		Vinyl Album Ambrose Slade - Beginnings Of Slade (1975)	I picked this up from a rack in a local Newsagents back in '76 for 70p - price sticker still on it. I have a release date of October '75, can't remember where I got that from, maybe the 'Slade Papers' book, I'll have to check.

Problem Child 24th Nov 2017		Vinyl Album Andy Williams - Born Free (1967)	I have the STEREO sleeve version - but not the stereo record! There is a 'STEREO' banner printed across the top of the rear sleeve, about 2 1/2 inches long. This was released in June of '67 and reached No. 22 in the albums charts.
Problem Child 24th Nov 2017		Vinyl Album The Kinks - Soap Opera (1975)	I have, what I presume, is a late '70s/early 80s re-press of this. There is a 'Best Buy Series' stamp printed in red on the left top of the sleeve front. It has the black RCA label with the Nipper the Dog painting to the right side. It also says on the sleeve front and back in small type:- Previously released as AFL1-5081. The number on the label is:- AYL1-3750. It is not a gate-fold sleeve and there is no inner sleeve.
Problem Child 24th Nov 2017		Vinyl Album Jerry Lee Lewis - ''The Essential Jerry Lee Lewis'' 20 Original Rock 'N' Roll Hits (1978)	Just come across my LP again and these notes. Haven't had chance to upload yet... I think my copy is a re-press from circa 1980 with the half yellow/half blue labels. Detail differences to bottom of sleeve back; Charly Record Ltd., 156/166 Ilderton Road, London SE 15. Also there's a line center bottom:- SEND 50p P.O. (UK) or $2 (overseas) for complete catalogue.
Problem Child 24th Nov 2017		Vinyl Album Status Quo - Hello! (1973)	I've just found a fold-out poster in my copy - didn't know it was there! Is this an original inclusion, as it's not mentioned in the notes, or has someone added it? Thanks in advance, PC.
