Syd Vliet 10th Sep 2017		Vinyl Album The Beatles - Magical Mystery Tour Plus Other Songs (1971)	First pressings of this apparently have the mock stereo mixes of tracks B3-B5, so its' identical to the US version. 2nd pressing onwards is all true stereo.
Syd Vliet 8th Dec 2014		Vinyl Album Various Artists - Vertigo Annual 1970 (1970)	It was released in October 1970 (advertised in the music papers that month). Very good compilation that introduced me to Nucleus and Manfred Mann Chapter Three.
Syd Vliet 14th Nov 2014		Vinyl Album George Harrison - Dark Horse (1974)	Standard German Apple labels on my copy and a plain white inner sleeve (so no musician details) but the lyric sheet was included. Bought on import in 1984.
Syd Vliet 14th Nov 2014		Vinyl Album George Harrison - Living In The Material World (1973)	Standard German Apple labels on my copy and no printed inner sheet (bought from The Beatles Shop in Liverpool in 1985).
Syd Vliet 14th Nov 2014		Vinyl Album Ringo Starr - Ringo's Rotogravure (1976)	Added the labels. It was almost impossible to find Ringo's albums in the UK in the mid 1980's, I ended up with 2nd hand US imports of both this and "Ringo the 4th".
Syd Vliet 13th Nov 2014		Vinyl Album Paul McCartney - McCartney (1970)	Added the Capitol label re-issue (1976) which may warrant a separate entry(?) but the cat no. is the same.
Syd Vliet 13th Nov 2014		Vinyl Album George Harrison And Friends - The Concert For Bangla Desh (1972)	Added all six labels. The album was designed to be stacked - so sides 1 & 6 are coupled together on the first disc, then sides 2 & 5 and finally sides 3 & 4, all housed in light brown sleeves (same colour as the box) with holes for the labels.
Syd Vliet 5th Jun 2014		Vinyl Album Cream - Live Cream (1985)	Re-issued as a "special price" LP with a large sticker on the right hand side, which was not easy to peel off, I was left with a sticky cover that stuck to the back of my "Led Zeppelin I" LP.
Syd Vliet 4th Jun 2014		Vinyl Album John And Yoko - Wedding Album (1977)	Added label scans. The most expensive vinyl LP I ever bought, £35 in January 1988. The penultimate album to completing my solo Beatles collection.
Syd Vliet 4th Jun 2014		Vinyl Album John Lennon And Yoko Ono - Unfinished Music No.2: Life With The Lions (1969)	Bought this new in London in April 1986, so I'm presuming it's a re-pressing, though it has the inner bag with the track information and a thick card sleeve.
Syd Vliet 4th Jun 2014		Vinyl Album George Harrison - Wonderwall Music (1982)	Curiously, the sliced apple is on the A side whilst the full apple is on the reverse. Bought in April 1986 and came with the info sheet.
Syd Vliet 4th Jun 2014		Vinyl Album George Harrison - Electronic Sound (1977)	Added the labels, 1980s pressing with a transparent plastic inner sleeve and single sided info sheet, all in Japanese. This was the one missing solo Beatle album from my collection until I bought this on import for £22 in August 1988.
