TheDroid 5th Mar 2023		Vinyl Album H. P. Lovecraft - H. P. Lovecraft II (1968)	Looks like we still need to see original Terry Callier LP, The New Folk Sound Of Terry Callier, referenced by Gian_Paolo back in 2017.
TheDroid 2nd Mar 2023		Vinyl Album Pink Floyd - The Dark Side Of The Moon (1973)	Brings back memories of seeing Pink Floyd in September 1972 playing Dark Side long before the album was released. Awesome show and one of my top three.
TheDroid 18th Feb 2023		Vinyl Album Carpenters - Passage (1977)	Added missing back cover image (with aforementioned "Promotional Record..." sticker and gatefold images. I believe this was the first (if not the only) Carpenters U.S. regular release to not include a photo or rendering of Karen & Richard.
TheDroid 31st Jan 2023		Vinyl Album The Leslie West Band - The Leslie West Band (1975)	The Leslie West Band also featured Foreigner founder Mick Jones.
TheDroid 17th Dec 2022		Vinyl Album Coven - Coven (1972)	Side one and side two are reversed on the labels and LP from the back cover listing. Perhaps this was done to move the One Tin Soldier hit (peaked at #26) to side one?

TheDroid 4th Dec 2022		Vinyl Album Elton John - Here And There (1976)	The label images need to be "synced" up. The white labels (Live In London) are side one, while the black label (Live in New York) are side two. They should be matched together and sequenced. mod edit: matched
TheDroid 20th Jul 2022		Vinyl Album The Rascals - Once Upon A Dream (1968)	Added Hullabaloo Magazine wall poster for Once Upon A Dream LP.
TheDroid 15th Jul 2022		Vinyl Album Nilsson - Son Of Schmilsson (1972)	@Magic Marmalade: Perhaps you are thinking of this LP that included an iron on decal [url][/url]ABL1-0220.

TheDroid 23rd Jun 2022		Vinyl Album Wings [USA] - Wings (1968)	In the notes, Steve Knight is listed as a past member of "Devil's Answer". This bands name was actually "The Devil's Anvil".

TheDroid 17th Feb 2022		Vinyl Album Kiss - Alive! (1975)	The gold sticker is on later issue than the white one.
TheDroid 25th Jan 2022		Vinyl Album Mountain - Climbing! (1970)	Having handled and sold a number of this album I have never seen a U.S. copy that didn't lead off with Mississippi Queen. If I remember correctly though, the 8 track and cassette versions did have a different running order.
TheDroid 9th Jan 2022		Vinyl Album Mississippi - Mississippi (1973)	Mississippi originally included Graham Goble who was joined by Beeb Birtles and Derek Pellicci in late 1972. They would later team with Glenn Shorrock in 1975 to go on to international acclaim as Little River Band. This LP was originally issued in Australia in 1972.
TheDroid 8th Dec 2021		Vinyl Album The Grateful Dead - Aoxomoxoa (1969)	Although I am not much of a Grateful Dead fan, I found an article in faroutmagazine regarding the remixing and rereleasing of this LP to be quite interesting. Below is a brief excerpt from that article. It makes it sound like two significantly different albums for both Anthem Of The Sun" and "Aoxomoxoa" were available in the early 1970's. "Jerry Garcia and Phil Lesh decided that the dense arrangements and unorthodox instrumentations were no longer representative of the band, and so they set forth to remix both Anthem of the Sun and Aoxomoxoa to remove some of the more explicitly psychedelic elements. Aoxomoxoa was first, and the pair stripped away the avant-garde noises in ‘What’s Become of the Baby’, the backing choir on ‘Mountains of the Moon’, and the a cappella ending of ‘Doin That Rag’. They also made edits to some of the runtimes and lengths of songs, with songs like ‘China Cat Sunflower’ being cut down to be shorter. Anthem of the Sun received similar treatment, with certain live takes swapped out for alternative versions of songs."
TheDroid 15th Nov 2021		Vinyl Album Don McLean - American Pie (1971)	The same labeling was used on Don McLean UAS 5651, as well as on Playin' Favorites UA-LA161-F and Homeless Brother UA-LA315-G.
TheDroid 19th Oct 2021		Vinyl Album John Lennon - Rock 'N' Roll (1975)	The medley does indeed begin with "Rip It Up" and segues into "Ready Teddy".
