sladesounds 1st Oct 2017		Vinyl Album The White Stripes - Icky Thump Extras (2017)	Side 1 being named "Side 2" and Side 2 being named "Side B" is as per the labels and sleeve!
sladesounds 26th Sep 2017		Vinyl Album The Electric Flag - A Long Time Comin' (1968)	Thanks for info ppint. Whilst I guessed on the Columbia being blanked out as there was already a UK Columbia record label I never thought of the possible US military connection even though I bought many an album myself from the military exchanges in Germany.
sladesounds 23rd Sep 2017		Vinyl Album The Electric Flag - A Long Time Comin' (1968)	I have added scans from my copy which is the US version that has been bastardised for the UK market. The company Columbia has been manually blacked on the rear of the sleeve and the labels have had a paper circle pasted on to hide the company details. This is the 2nd or 3rd one like this in my collection so I guess it was a fairly common practice.
sladesounds 23rd Sep 2017		Vinyl Album Broken Spindles - Inside / Absent (2005)	[YouTube Video]
sladesounds 14th Sep 2017		Vinyl Album Elton John - Don't Shoot Me I'm Only The Piano Player (1973)	DJH 20427 does not have the Pye Distribution info on the inside cover and is as The Judge states a later issue (re-issue?). I think it could do with its own entry and I will scan the sleeves etc. and create one in the coming days.
sladesounds 14th Sep 2017		Vinyl Album Various Artists - Katanga! Ahbe Casabe (2016)	Vol 1 originally released here
sladesounds 9th Sep 2017		Vinyl Album Various Artists - Tommy (1975)	[YouTube Video] [YouTube Video]
sladesounds 9th Sep 2017		Vinyl Album The Slits - Cut (2003)	No company details on sleeve or label Comes up on other web sites as an "unofficial release" If anyone has any other information please let me know
sladesounds 8th Sep 2017		Vinyl Album Connie Francis - Connie Francis Sings The All Time International Hits (1966)	Excellent - many thanks for the quick reply.
sladesounds 8th Sep 2017		Vinyl Album Connie Francis - Connie Francis Sings The All Time International Hits (1966)	Sorry for being so slow to reply - take track one and two as an examples, you have added to the track title "second recording". This is what I am referring to when asking where this information comes from, I can't see it on the label or sleeve. Track information should only show what is listed on label (or sleeve).
sladesounds 15th Aug 2017		Vinyl Album Rimshots - Down To Earth (1976)	Label credits "Rimshots" Sleeve credits "The Rimshots"
sladesounds 12th Aug 2017		Vinyl Album Billy Edd Wheeler - Memories Of America (1965)	[YouTube Video]
sladesounds 9th Aug 2017		Vinyl Album Dave Edmunds - The Best Of Dave Edmunds (1981)	[YouTube Video]

sladesounds 5th Aug 2017		Vinyl Album The Headboys - The Headboys (1979)	[YouTube Video]
sladesounds 26th Jul 2017		Vinyl Album The Carter Family - Amercian Epic: The Best Of The Carter Family (2017)	Review Issued as part of the American Epic series which accompanies the TV series. On the plus side these are original 78 recordings, restored and remastered using a mixture of analog and digital technology, therefore sounding fantastic. Pressed on 180g vinyl, housed in a heavy stock, soft touch sleeve they are a delight to hold (and listen to). On the down side, no liner notes, incorrect listing on the label (corrected with a printed apology as an insert). Although recording dates and locations are given, simple facts such as composer credits are missing. Personally, with a record of such historical importance as these recordings are, I would like to know more details about the original 78s, such as what were the original cat#s, ideally scans of those 78 labels and details of who the personnel at the recordings were. It would also have been nice for some liner notes explaining to the uninitiated, the importance of the recordings and where they fit in with the evolution of American music (and why). Worth buying - yes. This is classic American music that helped shape the music we listen to today. I just think its a shame that more information regarding the recordings was not made available even as a single page printed insert and really Third Man, how did you miss the track listing error on the sleeve prior to printing? Hope someone got a slap on the wrist for that one! 6 people found this review helpful. ✔︎ Helpful Review?
sladesounds 25th Jul 2017		Vinyl Album Various Artists - Stardust (1974)	Great album (and great film). Don't forget Stray Cats [Stardust] included Keith Moon in the film but I don't think he actually appears on the recordings here. Ringo Starr was in the original film "That'll Be The Day" but turned down the part in the follow up and Keith was quick to volunteer to fill his place. If you haven't seen the film Jim Maclaine (credited with four tracks on this album) is David Essex, Jim being the role he plays in the film..
sladesounds 24th Jul 2017		Vinyl Album Eddie And The Hot Rods - Life On The Line (1977)	[YouTube Video]
sladesounds 19th Jul 2017		Vinyl Album Connie Francis - Connie Francis Sings The All Time International Hits (1966)	Where does the extra information being shown in the track titles come from? As it does not appear on the label or on the sleeve it should be listed in the notes if there is specific recording information worthy of being recorded (and details of where it was obtained)
sladesounds 19th Jul 2017		Vinyl Album Various Artists - Celebration (1970)	Can you confirm the title of this record is correct? It should be "Celebration" based on the cat# but without scans it needs to be confirmed.
sladesounds 4th Jul 2017		Vinyl Album The Beatles - Abbey Road (2017)	Regarding country of release - Made in Europe does not necessary mean issued for sale in Europe. If someone can confirm they are for general sale elsewhere then yes amend the listing to Europe/International or what ever. The Jazz on 33 series issued by De Agostini have been entered as UK release with a qualifying note stating "Released in UK, Ireland, Australia, New Zealand and South Africa as a partwork by De Agostini, Vol no. XX in the Jazz on 33⅓ Series." mainly because I believe they are available there but have not yet had any collectors from those countries confirm it. De Agostini are an Italian company but issue stuff worldwide but not necessarily making them available at the same time. A good example is this collection which started a few years ago but I can't get my hands on here in the UK.
sladesounds 30th Jun 2017		Vinyl Album Various Artists - American Epic (2017)	[YouTube Video]
