thebluesneverdie 24th Mar 2024		Vinyl Album Memphis Slim - Soul Blues (1973)	First issued on Summit and Fidelio,this was the third issue in the UK of this great album.
thebluesneverdie 12th Jan 2024		Vinyl Album Various Artists - Down With The Game : Volume 5 (1968)	Only 99 copies were pressed.
thebluesneverdie 12th Jan 2024		Vinyl Album Various Artists - Down With The Game : Volume 3 (1968)	99 copies only were pressed.
thebluesneverdie 12th Jan 2024		Vinyl Album Walter Davis And Peetie Wheatstraw - Down With The Game Vol.4 (Walter & Peetie) (1968)	Only 99 copies ever pressed.
thebluesneverdie 19th Nov 2022		Vinyl Album Various Artists - Blacks, Whites And Blues (1970)	The accompanying book is always missing from this album.Wonder what happened to these books.The book is rarer than the album.Later collectors did not realise that the album was issued with the accompanying book.
thebluesneverdie 19th Nov 2022		Vinyl Album Various Artists - The History Of Rock Volume Thirty Five (1986)	Redbone had more than one hit.
thebluesneverdie 23rd Dec 2021		Vinyl Album Elvis Presley - Rock 'N' Roll (1956)	The hyphen in "Presl-ey" was an error in first prints.Printing was stopped and corrected.Hyphenated name on sleeve are therefore mega-rare,though not particularly desirable i.e.no extra cash ever paid for the erroneous printing.
thebluesneverdie 16th Nov 2021		Vinyl Album Dean Hightower - Guitar: Twangy (1959)	Artist is actually Jazz/Swing/Blues guitarist,George Barnes,long-time studio/session musician/Passed away 1977.
thebluesneverdie 8th Oct 2020		Vinyl Album Humble Pie - Smokin' (1972)	Was this the album where the buyer received a "flicker" book of roach cards?.
thebluesneverdie 27th Jul 2017		Vinyl Album The Carter Family - Amercian Epic: The Best Of The Carter Family (2017)	The comments made by Sladesounds are absolutely correct. So many historical recordings such as these are treated in a way that would display the compiler as someone who believed the music was, at best, a secondary type of music where no one would take notice anyway. A far cry from the days of Folkways, sadly.
thebluesneverdie 21st Dec 2016		Vinyl Album Kaleidoscope [USA] - Bacon From Mars (1983)	US title was "Beacon From Mars".
thebluesneverdie 9th Jun 2016		Vinyl Album Chuck Berry - Afterschool Session (1957)	No British issue.The only early Chuck LP issued in the UK was "One Dozen Berrys"(London).
thebluesneverdie 24th Oct 2015		Vinyl Album Various Artists - Ma Rainey & The Classic Blues Singers (1970)	Arare album;but much rarer is the accompanying book that came with the first issues of the album.Scan of this now added.
thebluesneverdie 21st Oct 2015		Vinyl Album Carl Perkins - Dance Album Of Carl Perkins (1959)	Black labels on "London" first appeared in 1967.Earlier pressings,issued with a "Plum" label,were subsequently issued with a Black label if & when re-pressed.
thebluesneverdie 20th Oct 2015		Vinyl Album High Livin' - Ernest Tubb (1980)	Many collectors have acquired this album,only to be greatly disappointed.The artist in this case is a band called High Livin'. The title of the album is "Ernest Tubb".....and just a few seconds into the first track is enough to display the error many have made.It is not even in the style of ET,so not even a tribute album.Caveat Emptor lol.
thebluesneverdie 16th Oct 2015		Vinyl Album Elvis Presley - Rock & Roll No.2 (1957)	Better scans now uploaded.
thebluesneverdie 7th Oct 2015		Vinyl Album Mick Green - Painkiller (1986)	Late,great,legendary guitarist of The Pirates.

thebluesneverdie 19th Sep 2015		Vinyl Album Chuck Berry - Chuck Berry On Stage (1963)	A3:the original 45 of "Maybellene" gave the composers as Chuck Berry, Russ Fratto, Alan Freed; A5:the original title of this was "Let It Rock",composed by Charles Anderson,a supposed pseudonym that CB used; B4:original was by Muddy Waters,who wrote the song(Morganfield being his real name).
thebluesneverdie 18th Sep 2015		Vinyl Album Grant Tracy And The Sunsets - Teenbeat (1963)	Note the mis-spelling of the artist's surname on both Side 1 & 2 of the record.
thebluesneverdie 15th Sep 2015		Vinyl Album Emmett Miller - Emmet Miller acc. by His Georgia Crackers (1969)	Some copies of this album were pressed in clear green vinyl. N.B. Note the mis-spelling of the artist's name on the front of the sleeve,and both record labels.However,managed to get it right on the back of the sleeve!!).
thebluesneverdie 15th Sep 2015		Vinyl Album Scotty Moore - The Guitar That Changed The World ! (1964)	Would've loved a few more albums by this Axeman-Supremo!!.
thebluesneverdie 14th Sep 2015		Vinyl Album Dion And The Belmonts - Toppermost (1960)	Anyone know what happened to Volume Two??!!.
thebluesneverdie 12th Sep 2015		Vinyl Album John Lee Hooker - The Big Soul Of John Lee Hooker (1963)	The Vandellas are the female vocal group on this album.
thebluesneverdie 12th Sep 2015		Vinyl Album Elvis Presley - Rock & Roll No.2 (1957)	Actually,the sleeve is a yellow shade,more than orange.Reason for the orange shade on many images of this sleeve is because the light reacts on yellow.So....most(all?) of those orange-looking sleeves would actually be yellow.
thebluesneverdie 12th Sep 2015		Vinyl Album Various Artists - "Let Me Tell You About The Blues" Volume One (1966)	Both sides of sleeve now added.
thebluesneverdie 11th Sep 2015		Vinyl Album Elvis Presley - Rock & Roll No.2 (1957)	Sleeve now added.
thebluesneverdie 25th Aug 2015		Vinyl Album Carl Perkins - Dance Album Of Carl Perkins (1959)	Track B3 was not written by CP.This was due to Sam Philips lack of a search for the original source.There is actually a clause in the copyright that denies royalty to the estate of CP.A release in 1957,on Decca,by The York Brothers,credits the writers as "Johnny"Country"Mathis & Webb Pierce".However,there was also a release of the song,on Acme,by Gene Thompson,but was uncredited,in 1951.A research of the composer credit goes back to 1936,for Alabama singer,Rex Griffin.
