Scratchy45 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.
|
Scratchy45 6th Dec 2021 | | Vinyl AlbumPupils 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).

Scratchy45 29th Nov 2021 | | Vinyl AlbumHank Williams - Hanks Williams' Greatest Hits (1961) | Have stereo issue with numbering as per Canadian issue here.
Will add when I get time.
|
Scratchy45 9th Nov 2021 | | Vinyl AlbumPete 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?
|
Scratchy45 16th Sep 2021 | | Vinyl AlbumEmil Prud'Homme - Le Tour Du Monde En Musette (1958) | Missing tracks, track info and scans added. Artist credited on labels - only artist credit as such - as "Emile Prud'Homme Et Son Orchestre"
|
Scratchy45 23rd Aug 2021 | | Vinyl AlbumSwingle II - Madrigals (1974) | Added LP, scans. Prefer the UK to the US title...
|
Scratchy45 10th Aug 2021 | | Vinyl AlbumFrank Glazer - Erik Satie · Piano Music · Volume 1 (1970) | Can't remember having consciously seen this 60s UK Vox label design before. Rather liking it....
|
Scratchy45 10th Aug 2021 | | Vinyl AlbumNat 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
|
Scratchy45 9th Aug 2021 | | Vinyl AlbumKenneth 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.
|
Scratchy45 30th Jul 2021 | | Vinyl AlbumVarious 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....
|
Scratchy45 19th Jul 2021 | | Vinyl AlbumQuincy 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.
|
Scratchy45 23rd Jun 2021 | | Vinyl AlbumLes 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.
|
Scratchy45 7th Jun 2021 | | Vinyl AlbumArthur 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.
|
Scratchy45 7th Jun 2021 | | Vinyl AlbumSpeedy 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.
|
Scratchy45 9th May 2021 | | Vinyl AlbumTom 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. :-)

Scratchy45 24th Apr 2021 | | Vinyl AlbumTubby Hayes - Tubbs In N.Y. ! (1962) | reissued on Wing WL1162 / 68 220 TL. Will add.

|
Scratchy45 28th Feb 2021 | | Vinyl AlbumThe Passions [UK] - Thirty Thousand Feet Over China (1981) | Fixed the link to the band's biography.
|

|
Scratchy45 10th Jan 2021 | | Vinyl AlbumBilly 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.
|
Scratchy45 6th Jan 2021 | | Vinyl AlbumThe 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..
|
Scratchy45 6th Jan 2021 | | Vinyl AlbumTom 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
|
Scratchy45 3rd Jan 2021 | | Vinyl AlbumLea 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.
|
Scratchy45 29th Dec 2020 | | Vinyl AlbumFrançoise Hardy - Françoise Hardy Sings About Love (1968) | Later released on Hallmark Marble Arch HMA 219
|

|
Scratchy45 21st Sep 2020 | | Vinyl AlbumDick 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.
|
Scratchy45 15th Sep 2020 | | Vinyl AlbumThe Sons Of The Pioneers - The Best Of The Sons Of The Pioneers (1965) | Also reissued on ANL1-3468
|
Scratchy45 10th Sep 2020 | | Vinyl AlbumThe 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.
|
Scratchy45 6th Sep 2020 | | Vinyl AlbumSarah 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...
