sladesounds 25th Feb 2016 | | Vinyl AlbumThe Nightingales - Pigs On Purpose (1982) | This album has "Nightingales" on label, spine and front yet the back cover refers to the band as "The Nightingales" as does the song-writing credits.
They refer to themselves on their web page as Nightingales even though the web address is http://thenightingales.org.uk/ !!

sladesounds 22nd Feb 2016 | | Vinyl AlbumBillie Holiday With Ray Ellis And His Orchestra - Lady In Satin (2016) | The third instalment of the Jazz On 33⅓ Series, this is the first issue that displays a unique barcode and cat# unlike the previous issues that used the original US cat#'s. We will have to wait and see what format the cat#s will take on future releases.
This excellent album rightly features in the book "1001 Albums you must hear before you die".

sladesounds 10th Feb 2016 | | Vinyl AlbumVan Der Graaf Generator - Repeat Performance (1980) | Discogs has this listed as 1972 however I think it must be later than that.
The record has "madhatter" labels (scans to follow).
Anyone have any better information on the year of release?

sladesounds 8th Feb 2016 | | Vinyl AlbumBlue Mink - Fruity (1974) | The final studio album from the band.
Released early 1974, by the end of that year the band had broken up (only to reform in 1976 to record a few 45s on the Target label).

sladesounds 28th Jan 2016 | | Vinyl AlbumMiles Davis - Kind Of Blue (2016) | Further to my comment I have just been browsing the publishers italian web page and they have a blues collection and classical collection on the go!

sladesounds 27th Jan 2016 | | Vinyl AlbumMiles Davis - Kind Of Blue (2016) | I have just listened to my copy and it does sound better than the CD version I already had. It certainly is good enough for me (especially at £4.99).
Just in case you haven't read the small print there is 40 albums in the series being issued at a rate of 2 a month. Seems a great idea but I would love to know what the 40 albums are actually going to be.
What we need now is a similar approach with something like the Vertigo label - that would be cool :) or maybe a World Music on 33 series.

sladesounds 20th Jan 2016 | | Vinyl AlbumRy Cooder - Boomer's Story (1972) | ReviewRy Cooder's third album that, like the previous two, digs deep into the American music past covering songs written by the likes of Sleepy John Estes & Skip James as well as some traditional material. Some brilliant song choices, extremely well played, makes this an album worth owning.

sladesounds 24th Dec 2015 | | Vinyl AlbumJohn Coltrane - Coltrane Plays The Blues (1962) | My copy is a re-issue however I can not determine the re-issue year (or accurately decide on the country). You can see from the Back Cover Scan that the copyright print at the base of the sleeve is poorly copied from the original. Perhaps someone knows what the "7148" printed there stands for.

sladesounds 24th Dec 2015 | | Vinyl AlbumJohn Coltrane - Coltrane Plays The Blues (2010) | I have moved this from Atlantic [USA] to Atlantic [Europe]. The American 2010 re-issue of this album (via Rhino) is clearly marked on the reverse with Made in America unlike this version endorsed with Made in Europe.

sladesounds 22nd Dec 2015 | | Vinyl AlbumThe Beatles - Let It Be (1976) | I appreciate we go with what is listed on the labels etc but do you think we would be better listed as plain Beatles?
|
sladesounds 21st Dec 2015 | | Vinyl AlbumThe Beatles - Let It Be (1976) | Tom - is this actually then The Beatles or some kind of covers band?
Also is there a reason (that I can't see) why there are two entries for this album namely here and here.

sladesounds 19th Dec 2015 | | Vinyl AlbumVarious Artists - Sun (1989) | To split a set like this up use the SECTIONBREAK command when entering the track.
In this case to get the break and album title above track O1 I typed the track title as:
Sun International SECTIONBREAK Kay
Hope that helps and points you in the right direction
All we need now is for scans to be put up ;-)

sladesounds 14th Dec 2015 | | Vinyl AlbumAlice Cooper - From The Inside (1978) | The front and rear of this sleeve has hinged flaps that open out (as shown in the scans). There is also a hinged flap on the inside being the door marked "quiet room". Inside the door is the legend "Inmates - In memory of Moonie" a reference to Keith Moon a member of Alice's drinking club "The Hollywood Vampires" who had died a few weeks prior to the albums release.
|
sladesounds 5th Dec 2015 | | Vinyl AlbumBlack Sabbath - Master Of Reality (1976) | I have, based on the back cover and labels amended this release to 1976. This 1971 album seems to have first been reissued then and also again in the 1980s. Can any one confirm this as it will affect the other NEMS Black Sabbath reissues.
