TheDroid 31st Jul 2018		Vinyl Album Yes - Sorcerer's Apprentice	Hand etched in the deadwax area is "How do you keep a Black Sabbath fan busy - over" Of course, the same message is on side B as well!
TheDroid 31st Jul 2018		Vinyl Album Yellow Magic Orchestra - X∞Multiplies (1980)	The labels show an "X", which indicates Columbia, Pitman, NJ for pressing plant, however, the deadwax has a "S" hand etched before matrix on both sides, indicating a Columbia, Santa Maria, CA pressing??
TheDroid 31st Jul 2018		Vinyl Album The Yardbirds - Having A Rave Up With The Yardbirds! (1965)	Added cleaner front and back cover images with a tip 'o the hat to original uploader Bgray1.
TheDroid 31st Jul 2018		Vinyl Album The Yardbirds - Live Yardbirds! Featuring Jimmy Page	This overt bootleg of the fairly rare "Live Yardbirds! Featuring Jimmy Page" LP was attempting to capitalize on the phenomenal success and fame of Led Zeppelin as they began to make a name for themselves. A brief overview of this albums history is provided by AllMusic.com: "Arguably the most famous lost live album in history, Live Yardbirds Featuring Jimmy Page, cut at the Anderson Theater in New York on March 30, 1968, has been issued twice on vinyl legitimately (only to be suppressed by legal action) and innumerable times since as a bootleg. Page’s guitar (which goes out of tune several times) is the dominant instrument, alternately crunchy and lyrical, but always loud and dexterous; the roughness of Keith Relf’s singing is also more apparent, but his shortcomings don’t really hurt the music. The performance also reveals just how far out in front of the psychedelic pack the Yardbirds were by the spring of 1968; Page had pushed the envelope about as far as he could, in terms of high-velocity guitar pyrotechnics.". Supposedly the performance was originally recorded in 1968 for possible release as a live Yardbirds album, but the band was not happy with the recording and decided not to release it. In 1971, after Page had went on success with Led Zeppelin, Epic dusted off the then three-year-old tapes and released the recording as Live Yardbirds Featuring Jimmy Page. Page promptly threatened to sue, and the album was quickly withdrawn. In 1976, Epic’s parent label Columbia again released the album on their Columbia Special Products label and Page threatened to sue again and the album was again withdrawn by Columbia.

TheDroid 28th Jul 2018		Vinyl Album The Wozard Of Iz - An Electronic Odyssey (1968)	Artist is often listed as Mort Garson for this LP, but I went with the cover and label which makes it appear as The Wozard Of Iz. If anyone thinks it should be Mort Garson, please go ahead an change it. Either way, it should definitely be linked with him!

TheDroid 25th Jul 2018		Vinyl Album Wiggy Bits - Wiggy Bits (1976)	I found a better front cover copy misfiled in my collection and have uploaded it. One of the best things about participating in 45worlds is getting my collection re-organized!
TheDroid 25th Jul 2018		Vinyl Album Wigwam - Tombstone Valentine (1971)	Apparently Kim Fowley tried to track down and include everything he could that was related to Wigwam for this double LP release. From what I have been able to gather, several songs should be credited to others than Wigwam, as I noted. I'm sure there are more knowledgeable members that can improve upon this.

The "Mf'd by © MCA Records, Inc." has supplanted the "Mfr"d by Decca Records" of the earlier pressings. Does the (D) denote Decca?
