sladesounds 6th Sep 2016		Vinyl Album The Drifters - The Drifters' Golden Hits (1972)	As said the original on 588103 was released in 1968. It was re-issued on this cat# around 1973 (I have changed the date) and re-issued a few times after that. My copy (scans shown) was pressed in Germany (for the UK market) sometime in the 1980s.
sladesounds 3rd Sep 2016		Vinyl Album Blondie - Blondie 4(0) Ever (2014)	Full set of scans added. Although the album is often referred to as *Greatest Hits Deluxe Redux / Ghosts Of Download* (the two albums that make up the release) the package was marketed by the issuing company Noble ID as Blondie 4(0) Ever. Cover sticker showing correct album title in amongst the scans. The release was a limited release available only via on-line stores. Track listing for the DVD can be found here.
sladesounds 1st Sep 2016		Vinyl Album Canned Heat - Future Blues (1970)	Credits for B2 differ between sleeve and label.
sladesounds 31st Aug 2016		Vinyl Album Nick Drake - Five Leaves Left (2000)	Sorry no scans on me from this one as mine is still in it's sticker sealed cover.
sladesounds 26th Aug 2016		Vinyl Album Nick Drake - Heaven In A Wild Flower (1985)	Added alternate (later?) set of scans with barcode and change to label layout.

sladesounds 2nd Aug 2016		Vinyl Album My Bloody Valentine - Loveless (2003)	[YouTube Video]
sladesounds 27th Jul 2016		Vinyl Album Bob Dylan - Nashville Skyline (1969)	Alternate set of scans uploaded. Cat# appears above CBS logo on front, no photo credits on reverse but printer credits added and labels scans have different layout and different publishing credits on side 2.

sladesounds 14th Jul 2016		Vinyl Album Pete Rugolo - The Sweet Ride (1968)	[YouTube Video]
sladesounds 9th Jul 2016		Vinyl Album Pete Rugolo - The Sweet Ride (1968)	Review To give you an idea of the music on here let me show you the notes on the back of the cover - "This is a wild trip into the world of the Now Generation... from the neon haunts of Vegas, the *velvets traps of Hollywood* to the Malibu beach parties. Here are the people trying to make the Sweet Ride, that one moment when you know you're on top and your the best there is at sex, surfing or cycling. Add half a dozen beautiful girls to the scene and you get explosive right-now action-packed drama". The italics and bold type are my additions but if you haven't guessed already the album is ... a cheesy low grade sound which, having looked at the clips available on youtube, reflects the film. Star of the show is the Dusty track. For compulsive collectors (like me!) only. 4 people found this review helpful. ✔︎ Helpful Review?
sladesounds 3rd Jul 2016		Vinyl Album Various Artists - B.E.F. Presents Music Of Quality And Distinction Volume One (1982)	Review B.E.F. (British Electric Foundation) were Martin Ware and Ian Craig Marsh formerly of The Human League and later Heaven 17. This album featured, as well as Glenn Gregory (BEFs vocalist), several artists providing vocals to classic pop/rock songs backed with synthesisers and drum machines. Most noted is the contribution from Tina Turner. Whilst the song is not one of my favourite Motown tracks she herself sounds great and provides a great version. Following this album her label (Capitol) got behind her and her next single "Let's Stay Together" (produced by Martin Ware) was heavily promoted resulting a career reboot (at the grand old age of 43). Billy MacKenzie is a like or loath vocalist but provides (in my opinion) two good vocal tracks. The late Paula Yates' contribution is a bubblegum squeaky pop vocal version that is quiet annoying whilst Paul Jones (as expected) pumps out a great version of the Motown classic. Glenn Gregory is a fine vocalist and the cover of Lou Reed's Perfect Day is very good. 2 people found this review helpful. ✔︎ Helpful Review?
sladesounds 2nd Jul 2016		Vinyl Album Jack White - Acoustic Tour 2015 Box Set (2016)	In 2015 Jack White embarked on an unusual, acoustic tour. Hitting the only five states in the US in which he had yet to perform — the wild environs of North Dakota, South Dakota, Wyoming, Idaho and Alaska — White and his acoustic ensemble of Dominic Davis, Fats Kaplin and Lillie Mae Rische delivered jaw-dropping performances to the previously JW deprived terrritories. Each show was announced only hours before curtains lifted and tickets were only available in the venue box office, 1 per person, for $3. "No tradesies." Rampant online speculation, guesstimation and divining ensued, and those who were lucky and/or cunning enough to secure a seat were admired by all. The shows had several standards and rules set ahead of time by White: no amplifiers, only ribbon microphones used, and no monitors on stage.
sladesounds 19th Jun 2016		Vinyl Album Various Artists - BBC TV's Best Of Top Of The Pops Vol. 2 (1975)	[YouTube Video]
sladesounds 19th Jun 2016		Vinyl Album Various Artists - BBC TV's Best Of Top Of The Pops Vol. 2 (1975)	Review Being of a certain age I can remember watching the majority of these tracks on TOTP. 40 years on and a few have stood the test of time and remain quite listenable whereas a few are perhaps best forgotten. Rubettes - 70s pop fodder, nothing too memorable; Gloria Gaynor - a reasonable cover better than some but nothing compared to the original; Jim Gilstrap - more fodder; Glitter Band - forgetting the Gary Glitter connection not a bad glam rock/pop tune; Showaddywaddy - marmite to some but for me the early singles were exciting to see on the TV (yes I had a pair of brothel creepers and drainpipes which still looked good when punk came in); KC - white boy funk, back in style again; Wigan's Chosen Few - this tune was the Northern Soul tune that broke the charts and made it main stream (for a few years a least); Bay City Rollers - kings of the world for a few brief years, dated but still better than what followed (westlife et al); Mac and Katie - sweet sickly soul; George McCrae - not a bad tune, holds up well; Sweet Sensation - again sickly soul, Sad Sweet Dreamer is a much better single from them; Trammps - not a bad piece of 60s/70s style R&B/soul; Love Unlimited - more sickly soul that hasn't dated well and finally Slade - still pure class! 2 people found this review helpful. ✔︎ Helpful Review?
sladesounds 11th Jun 2016		Vinyl Album Dominic Frontiere - Hang 'Em High (1968)	[YouTube Video]
sladesounds 5th Jun 2016		Vinyl Album Klaus Nomi - Klaus Nomi (1981)	[YouTube Video] The audience look rather subdued, possibly shell shocked. I think if you watch the video you might be too.
sladesounds 22nd May 2016		Vinyl Album Various Artists - Rock Revival	Review An album made of what appears to be re-recordings and live tracks but with no notes on the sleeve or label to confirm when and where recorded. I can confirm A1 and all of the B side are live. A3 & A4 sound close to the originals but have been stereo enhanced. A6 definitely sounds a re-recording. Overall a record worth skipping - you're better off looking for the original 45s. 4 people found this review helpful. ✔︎ Helpful Review?

sladesounds 10th May 2016		Vinyl Album The Doors - The Doors (2012)	Listed as an album is correct - that's what it is
sladesounds 29th Apr 2016		Vinyl Album Foxy - Get Off (1978)	Compare the band in the video to the band on the cover!! [YouTube Video] White boys not funky enough to be shown on their album sleeve without a bit of (pre) photoshop

sladesounds 3rd Apr 2016		Vinyl Album Lightnin' Hopkins - Lightnin' Hopkins (1966)	The images show the stereo record in a mono sleeve. Mono release had the suffix ERO xxxx whilst the stereo issues were EROS xxxx.
sladesounds 28th Mar 2016		Vinyl Album Ashley Monroe - Live At Third Man Records (2016)	[YouTube Video] Not the live version but still worth a listen - check the steel guitar around the 3:05 min mark

sladesounds 26th Mar 2016		Vinyl Album DJ Jazzy Jeff And Fresh Prince - Rock The House (1987)	[YouTube Video]
sladesounds 23rd Mar 2016		Vinyl Album Nilsson - The Point! (1971)	I like this album a lot, I don't think it was aimed directly at kids in fact there is a quote from Nilsson that states "I was on acid and I looked at the trees and I realized that they all came to points, and the little branches came to points, and the houses came to point. I thought, "Oh! Everything has a point, and if it doesn't, then there's a point to it.". Show where a bit of acid can direct you :grin:
sladesounds 26th Feb 2016		Vinyl Album Van Der Graaf Generator - Repeat Performance (1980)	Thanks for the info :)
