TheJudge 6th Aug 2017		Vinyl Album Furniture - When The Boom Was On (1983)	Judging on overall length per side, I think it's nearer to a 12" than an LP.
TheJudge 29th Jul 2017		Vinyl Album Various Artists - Good Vibrations (1973)	Or 'Kaylan', even...
TheJudge 8th Jun 2017		Vinyl Album Cat Stevens - Izitso (1977)	Curiousity point: tracks A1 and A4 were regularly used as test-card music on BBC2 in the early 80s.
TheJudge 6th May 2017		Vinyl Album Larry Adler And Quartet - Harmonica Virtuso With Piano, Trumpet, Bass, Guitar And Drums (1966)	Just call it Larry Adler, I would.
TheJudge 13th Apr 2017		Vinyl Album Heinz - Remembering... (1977)	This wouldn't be from 1964. Discogs gives 1977, but I've removed the year altogether for now.
TheJudge 24th Mar 2017		Vinyl Album The Yardbirds - The Yardbirds (1966)	Because it's just the caption to the cartoon on the front cover.
TheJudge 23rd Mar 2017		Vinyl Album Hawkwind - Warrior On The Edge Of Time (1975)	The 'King'/'Man' mistake is common to the original UK pressing and the Liberty re-issue (both linked below). The Liberty one adds a further goof in calling Opa-Loka Opa-Loca.
TheJudge 22nd Mar 2017		Vinyl Album Alan Stivell - Renaissance Of The Celtic Harp (1971)	...which sounds like the result of the mating of a clarinet with a fire siren...
TheJudge 21st Mar 2017		Vinyl Album Hawkwind - Warrior On The Edge Of Time (1975)	Magnu is correct.
TheJudge 13th Feb 2017		Vinyl Album Carolyn Robson - Banks Of Tyne (1981)	Are they all one band on the disc? If so, then it's OK as it stands, as cumbersome as it looks.
TheJudge 11th Feb 2017		Vinyl Album Focus - Moving Waves (1971)	If you read the comments on the Blue Horizon issue, you'll see that there was a crossover point where Polydor sleeves contained BH labels. Your scans should still be with the BH entry linked above; except that we already have the 'Manufactured by Polydor Records' variant there.
TheJudge 28th Jan 2017		Vinyl Album Kraftwerk - Autobahn	@ppint. (waves back). No it isn't - I mis-typed it when I was putting that spreadsheet together. Thanks for the correction.
TheJudge 27th Jan 2017		Vinyl Album Kraftwerk - Autobahn	My (legit) copy has matrix#s 6360620 1//1 420 03 & 6360320 2//1 420 03.
TheJudge 4th Jan 2017		Vinyl Album Elton John - Crocodile Rock (1982)	That style of pressing, with the exposed vinyl ring around the centre hole, was a feature of many of Polygram's issues (both LPs and 12"s) at the turn of the 80s, particularly on French and German pressings (e.g., POSPX 194, 6305 231), so that would be a more likely starting point for the date.
TheJudge 3rd Jan 2017		Vinyl Album Alan Stivell - Renaissance Of The Celtic Harp (1982)	Jord Cocheveloú was, of course, Alan's dad. There's an inconsistency between the rear sleeve and label with regard to track A2. We have it listed correctly in the entry, but the sleeve gives Marv Pontkallec and the label Marv Pontkellec
TheJudge 25th Dec 2016		Vinyl Album Nazareth - Nazareth (1971)	I'd say go for it.
TheJudge 24th Dec 2016		Vinyl Album Jim Reeves - Golden Memories	I am the Usain Bolt of the keyboard! ;-)
TheJudge 24th Dec 2016		Vinyl Album Jim Reeves - Golden Memories	Give me an hour, I'll try and sort this out...
TheJudge 13th Dec 2016		Vinyl Album John Doherty - Pedlar's Pack (1964)	In fairness, it does more closely reflect the proper spelling - Dún na nGall = 'Fortress of the Foreigners'.
TheJudge 8th Dec 2016		Vinyl Album Petula Clark - Golden Hour Presents The Petula Clark Story (1972)	What usually happens is that the tracks have the bejayzus compressed out of them.
TheJudge 6th Dec 2016		Vinyl Album Sheila Chandra - The Struggle (1985)	Why do I get the feeling that whoever did the front cover mis-spelled her surname and they had to force the 'R' in like that to correct it?
TheJudge 3rd Dec 2016		Vinyl Album Folkways - No Other Name (1972)	It's an unbreakable law of the UK Revival: eventually, everything gets attributed to Ewan MacColl!
TheJudge 26th Nov 2016		Vinyl Album Lene Lovich - 1980 Global Assualt (1980)	I'd call this a 12" single myself - the total length for one thing, and the cat# for another.
TheJudge 30th Oct 2016		Vinyl Album The Houghton Weavers - Howfen Wakes (1976)	The TV series was actually called Sit Thi Deawn
TheJudge 4th Oct 2016		Vinyl Album Antonio Carlos Jobim - Wave (1967)	If you look at CTI's singles issues - once that label was established in its own right in about 1970 - you'll see Creed Taylor's signature on many (though by no means all) of its releases.
TheJudge 28th Sep 2016		Vinyl Album Gong - Camembert Electrique (1974)	"A friend of mine at Unix in the early 80s... Did you mean "Uni", or did you really have an open-source education? :-p
TheJudge 26th Sep 2016		Vinyl Album The Beatles - Help! (Socorro!)	'Necesito' is first person singular present tense. Compare the title of the Roy Orbison song Yo Te Amo Maria. I suppose this one should - if being pedantic - be Yo Te Necesito, but it's not - as they might say - necesario.
TheJudge 20th Aug 2016		Vinyl Album Seán Ó Riada Le Seán Ó Sé Agus Ceoltóirí Cualann - Ó Riada Sa Gaiety (1970)	Think this is sorted now. I've gone with the full billing for the artists (we already have one where Ó Riada & Ceoltóirí Cualann are billed together), and I've tidied up the titles and cat# and re-ordered the label images.
TheJudge 20th Aug 2016		Vinyl Album Seán Ó Riada Le Seán Ó Sé Agus Ceoltóirí Cualann - Ó Riada Sa Gaiety (1970)	@ 45rpm+. I'm thinking that perhaps the artists' designation needs changing here. 'Le' means with and - if taken in connection with the title - the whole thing would read "O Riada in the Gaiety with Sean O Se and Ceoltoiri Cualann". Drop the 'Le' from the artists' name here, perhaps?
TheJudge 11th May 2016		Vinyl Album Various Artists - Sporting Themes (1979)	A1 listing corrected to Sound Stage Orchestra as per label.
