1st Jan 2022
Vinyl Album
[no artist listed] - Clifton College Carol Service Dec 1954 (1954)
Unbanded recording, both sides. Either a substandard press or played as if shellac, despite label warnings. Crackles and jumps unpredictably.

Vinyl Album
Pupils Of Sir Robert Sinclair School - Limbe (1960)
Have had this some time & been meaning to add. I thought Limbe would be some UK West Country Village but googling "Limbe" brings up African place-name options (Cameroon, Malawi).

Popping it on the turntable, the content is consistent with the African names. One shortish track each side, but the stylus jumps and skips like mad - something that other discs don't do. On balance, the colonial-era school name must be long gone, but my gut feeling is it was more likely to have been in Malawi - particularly as the titled name may refer to tobacco (Bristol & Imperial Tobacco links perhaps, though that's very much speculation on my part).

Vinyl Album
Pete Seeger - We Shall Overcome (1964)
Picked up stereo issue SBPG 62209 in a charity shop today. Mods: can'r remember if there's a procedure for you to add a linked stereo issue or shall I just add & let you do your stuff?

Vinyl Album
Swingle II - Madrigals (1974)
Added LP, scans. Prefer the UK to the US title...

10th Aug 2021
Vinyl Album
Frank Glazer - Erik Satie · Piano Music · Volume 1 (1970)
Can't remember having consciously seen this 60s UK Vox label design before. Rather liking it....

10th Aug 2021
Vinyl Album
Nat Gonella - The Nat Gonella Story (1978)
Sleeve/labels scans added to existing record. 1978 added as year of release from extra sleevenote saying a/bum reissue is i"n the the year of Nat Gonella's 70th birthday". Another EMI "Note" release

9th Aug 2021
Vinyl Album
Kenneth Horne, Betty Marsden, Hugh Paddick, Bill Pertwee, Kenneth Williams - Beyond Our Ken (1980)
Added this later reissue - still in Mono - of the 1964 Parlophone release with label as "Note", however it has the 1970s red/tan EMI label. Please amend to EMI if more appropriate please, mods.

30th Jul 2021
Vinyl Album
Various Artists - Rhythm And Blues (1963)
So there I was thinking someone at Golden Guinea or a cover designer got a bit sloppy on the front cover - ""Wee Willy Dixon", indeed! However, on the label of Folkways FA 2385, there it is some time before....

19th Jul 2021
Vinyl Album
Quincy Jones - The Best (1982)
Scans to follow. This and at least one of the European versions have quite different track listings and order from the version released in American and many other countries.

23rd Jun 2021
Vinyl Album
Les Baxter And His Orchestra - Le Sacre Du Sauvage (1952)
Plain cover in use by UK Decca for Capitol at the time is in marked contrast to the rather florid US & elsewhere cover. Year not entered -1951 or 1952? Labels now added too.

7th Jun 2021
Vinyl Album
Arthur Lyman - The Colourful Percussions Of Arthur Lyman (1962)
Label scans added for later issue with same cat# but where change to use of Vocalion name complete.. Should a separate issue record be needed, so be it - I should have looked before and do see now they are separately listed here.

7th Jun 2021
Vinyl Album
Speedy West And Jimmy Bryant - 2 Guitars Country Style (1955)
Labels scans added (my copy has no sleeve). Though the scans don't show it, the label is purple. Random observation: unlike Capitol 45s and 78s on the UK ownership/distribution cusp, there's no way to tell if it's Decca-manufactured or EMI manufactured - runout matrices seem to follow the labek matrix nos.

9th May 2021
Vinyl Album
Tom Jones - Somethin' 'Bout You Baby I Like (1974)
karik58 - To paraphrase Mr Jones himself, "Somebody please if somebody will, Let them press "correction" for a wish fulfilled...."

As far as I know, none of the mods goes by the name of Lucille, though. :-)

10th Jan 2021
Vinyl Album
Billy Eckstine - That Old Feeling (1956)
From Cat# sequence, release date appears to be either late 1955 or early 1956. Sleeve scanned is one of a run of 1950s MGM sleeves printed by Marsdon & Co of Bristol - who also printed for other Gramophone Co. Ltd. labels.

Vinyl Album
The Artwoods - Art Gallery (1966)
Tickled by the sleeve notes. In later life Art Wood walked a different dog past my house daily, while my former partner's goldfish-coloured cat teased it Tom and Jerry-style from the wall of the front garden..

6th Jan 2021
Vinyl Album
Tom Lehrer - More Of Tom Lehrer (1981)
Sleeve pics from an LF1323 copy added. Labels, which I can add, are different layout & include printed E/T tax code. Runouts are
DRL-4607-1B
DRL-4608-1B

3rd Jan 2021
Vinyl Album
Lea Nicholson - The Concertina Record (1980)
I'd argue this should be listed under "Kicking Mule. SNKF 129 has the Kicking Mule cat# but Sonet labels, this has Kicking Mule labels.

Vinyl Album
Dick Annegarn - Dick Annegarn (1975)
I was introduced to this song some years ago through the soundtrack album for "The Science of Sleep". A great arrangement.

[YouTube Video]

Dick Annegarn has just about as many self-titled albums as Peter Gabriel.

Also reissued on ANL1-3468

Vinyl Album
The Dubliners - Drinkin' And Courtin' (1968)
Stereo issue, mono on MMLP14. Budget reissue on MFP loses tracks A7,B7,B8. Mine not exactly a pristine copy.

6th Sep 2020
Vinyl Album
Sarah Vaughan And Billy Eckstine - Sing The Best Of Irving Berlin (1958)
Mono version with Stereo counterpart SR-60002 This version entered with artist order as per rear cover and labels (scan to follow). Front cover has Eckstine Vaughan artist order, but this corresponds to their position in the cover photo and places the name above the artist pictured. Suggest name versions should be linked...
