TopPopper 13th Mar 2016		Vinyl Album The Beatles - The Big Beat Of The Beatles (1964)	Can we lose the blurry pic now? From what I see, it's the same label as 712161? mod edit: yes we can - now hidden.
TopPopper 11th Mar 2016		Vinyl Album Wings - Wings Greatest (1978)	I'm almost inclined to say "no label".
TopPopper 11th Mar 2016		Vinyl Album The Beatles - Revolver (1966)	And "I'm Only Sleeping" - three Lennon songs taken in advance for "yesterday and Today" - leaving the US version of "Revolver" a bit lopsided. (George has more lead vocals than John!)
TopPopper 10th Mar 2016		Vinyl Album Wings - Wings Greatest (1978)	My impression is that McCartney wanted to turn his back on the Beatles' Apple label. While the other Beatles honoured their Apple agreement until it expired in early 1976, Macca jumped sideways to EMI's Capitol imprint before then. He moved to Capitol for his singles, and the ones which were not on Capitol were also anonymous or, arguably, mpl. See here which also lists the non-Capitol singles as being on Parlophone - but why? Look at this example - why should it be listed as Parlophone? In truth, Macca's first solo single on Parlophone is Goodnight Tonight in 1979.
TopPopper 10th Mar 2016		Vinyl Album Wings - Wings Greatest (1978)	We usually go by what it says on the record. Accepted wisdom might be that it's Parlophone, but when you look at Macca's albums from about 1974 to about 1979, they are, like this one, label-anonymous. His UK singles were coming out on Capitol, not Parlophone. What reason is there to think this LP is on the Parlophone label?
TopPopper 8th Mar 2016		Vinyl Album Wings - Wings Greatest (1978)	Looking at this record again - I don't see the word Parlophone anywhere (have I missed it?). If it doesn't mention Parlophone, I don't think we should list it that way. It doesn't appear to have a label at all, except possibly mpl.
TopPopper 7th Mar 2016		Vinyl Album Freedom [UK] - Freedom At Last (1969)	What's the meaning of that triangular logo thing on the front cover? I only ask because it looks very much like the later Motown logo.
TopPopper 7th Mar 2016		Vinyl Album Various Artists - The World Of Hits (1969)	[YouTube Video] Surely one of the greatest underrated songs ever. And, possibly the first ever pop video too, assuming it to be Feb 1965 when the single came out? Any earlier ones spring to mind? (Martha & the Vandellas in the local car factory was later in the year.)
TopPopper 4th Mar 2016		Vinyl Album [no artist listed] - 16 Chart Hits Volume 16 (1974)	[YouTube Video] Would you like sugar on top?
TopPopper 4th Mar 2016		Vinyl Album John Martyn - Solid Air (1973)	[YouTube Video] Universal truth and a deep folk funk. Beat that!
TopPopper 28th Feb 2016		Vinyl Album The Beatles - Sgt. Pepper (2009)	Shouldn't the label be Parlophone [Bootleg] rather than Swinging Dog?
TopPopper 28th Feb 2016		Vinyl Album The Beatles - Beatles '65 (1971)	Can someone confirm that this cover image belongs specifically to the Apple pressing (it has the Capitol logo on it)? If it does, it can be promoted to the main image.
TopPopper 7th Feb 2016		Vinyl Album Eivets Rednow - Eivets Rednow (1968)	[YouTube Video] If you'll excuse the passing of many years... this is an extraordinary performance, particularly the harp solo - and with Burt watching on...
TopPopper 27th Jan 2016		Vinyl Album Badfinger - Apple Of My Eye / Constitution	This is the album Ass.
TopPopper 11th Jan 2016		Vinyl Album David Bowie - The Man Who Sold The World (1970)	I'm guessing this is a pretty rare edition of the album?
TopPopper 26th Dec 2015		Vinyl Album [no artist listed] - 20 Great Hits '73 (1973)	Label scans added for the Switzerland and England pressings - all the UK edition of course, but manufactured in various locations. I have to say, the usual budget cover version record sleeves are usually fairly inoffensive - saucy rather than lecherous. But this is one I definitely do not like.
TopPopper 20th Dec 2015		Vinyl Album The Beatles - The Live Beatles (1987)	Must be a bootleg?
TopPopper 9th Dec 2015		Vinyl Album The Beatles - Rubber Soul (1965)	Yoko snapped him out of all that kind of woman domineering stuff.
TopPopper 25th Nov 2015		Vinyl Album The Beatles - Abbey Road (1979)	Have hidden the image which is a low-res image of the reguar LP sleeve. This entry is for a picture disc - we need a proper photo.
TopPopper 19th Nov 2015		Vinyl Album John Martyn - Solid Air (1973)	This is a really super album. One of the greats.
TopPopper 8th Nov 2015		Vinyl Album The Beatles - Abbey Road (1970)	It translates to something along the lines of "Stereo - this record can also be played on mono equipment".
TopPopper 8th Nov 2015		Vinyl Album The Beatles - A Hard Day's Night (1964)	Shuffleded.
TopPopper 7th Nov 2015		Vinyl Album Chris Clark - Soul Sounds (1968)	This (image number 879493) appears to be the same cover photo as on the mono page. Please, if we can get a photo of the mono cover, can this one be replaced - in case there is a small difference not yet noticed.
TopPopper 2nd Nov 2015		Vinyl Album George Harrison - Electronic Sound (1969)	There's a book out, about the Zapple label.
TopPopper 24th Oct 2015		Vinyl Album The Beatles - A Hard Day's Night (1964)	Thanks for the info W.B.lbl. Correct order now?
TopPopper 21st Oct 2015		Vinyl Album Herbert Floog - Vote For Us (1964)	@ Fokeman - I have today joined the very small club of people who own a copy of this LP. I finally found it! Better scans coming soon...
TopPopper 18th Oct 2015		Vinyl Album The Beatles - Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band (1967)	Well spotted - I revise my comment accordingly... John - chartreuse; Paul - sky blue; George - tomato; Ringo - fuchsia.
TopPopper 18th Oct 2015		Vinyl Album Tom Jones - Tom Jones' Greatest Hits (1973)	The sleeve looks like an unfinished paint-by-numbers.
TopPopper 18th Oct 2015		Vinyl Album The Beatles - Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band (1967)	OK, strap yourselves in for some blockbusting trivia: the exact colours of the Beatles' "Pepper" suits are as follows: John - chartreuse; Paul - fuchsia; George - sky blue; Ringo - tomato. (Source: Walter Everett, "The Beatles As Musicians", p99.) - so, pub-quizzers out there, if someone asks you where you will find tomato on a Beatles album cover, now you know.
TopPopper 12th Oct 2015		Vinyl Album The Beatles - Past Masters (1988)	The trouble is, MMT has consequently been absorbed into the album discography as if it were an actual studio album - and that's wrong. It was singles and B-sides plus an EP which together span nearly a year - and now it's supposed to be regarded as an album between Pepper and the White Album. It's just twisted the chronology for convenience sake.
