Whyperion SUBS 22nd Mar 2017		Vinyl Album Various Artists - Original Hits Golden Instrumentals (1973)	Responding to Sheepdip. The linked release , although some kind of Stereo shows R.I.M. as cat number, which , despite its paired sleeve would indicate Mono ? This difference of R.I.S. and R.I.M. appears to be on a few Rediffusion LPs from memory

Whyperion SUBS 8th Sep 2014		Vinyl Album Mantovani And His Orchestra - The World Of Mantovani Vol.2 (1969)	Claimed as Stereo (Record Label Will State if Electronically Reprocessed (per inner sleeve), this one does not so claim, were some of these tracks from 1959 onward all stereo originals? Record may be avalible in mono- back sleeve gives PA/SPA 1 through PA/SPA 31 as both (22,23,25 and 29 all omitted from list for some reason). Sleeve(front) Laminated in Clarifoil made by British Celanese Limited. Printed in England by Clout and Baker Ltd. Inner Sleeve Blue Box Stereo Wavy Top with Stereo Instructions type - R.S. 9-72 (so a Robert Stace from Sept 1972 might not be the original inner sleeve) Discogs Tells Me cassette format version is CSP 36
Whyperion SUBS 2nd Sep 2014		Vinyl Album Various Artists - Original Hits Golden Instrumentals (1973)	I Suspect this is also an identical track listing on other LPs in the USA etc, yet to be added to worlds and I have no clear time to seek elsewhere.
Whyperion SUBS 2nd Sep 2014		Vinyl Album Various Artists - Original Hits Golden Instrumentals (1973)	My copy has written on Side 2 Label Do Not Play, along with (later?) inscribed on last track Do Not Play. What a pain
Whyperion SUBS 18th Sep 2013		Vinyl Album Dave Dee, Dozy, Beaky, Mick And Tich - If No One Sang (1968)	Was this album issued elsewhere under the title of 'Time To Take Off'? Allmusic tells me that is a US version with a 5min mashup of If No One Sang and Time To Take Off on it.
Whyperion SUBS 18th Sep 2013		Vinyl Album Dave Dee, Dozy, Beaky, Mick And Tich - If No One Sang (1968)	Review Re -Issued as CD with additional tracks in 2003. I cannot remember where I got mine(Actually Mono Version) from , could have (unusually for me) been a local record shop - as opposed to one in a larger town, or a second hand purchase in the mid 70s. It w in asstorage at the in-laws - and had been since 1994 , but thanks to the internet some of the tracks seem to have been uploaded , I wont show them here due to the date of issue. Anyway its now been on the autochanger, much to my enjoyment. Wiki tells me this is the Fourth Studio Album , Allmusic says The Third Album and last before Dave Dee left in 1969 for a solo career. Allmusic has a fair review , but I think I can do better, based around Allmusic as a structure. True to their previous hits, the songwriting team of Ken Howard and Alan Blaikley -- who also managed the band -- centered their material on catchy, if not somewhat quirky, melodies with highly singable choruses. The sleeve notes , I recall , seemed to have been attributed to Dave Dee , and stated that the words for A1 / B7 were sent in by an unnamed girl 'fan' {more true if I said Inspired By, and the stanza is printed on the back of the sleeve} The title composition, "If No One Sang" -- which bookends the effort with a pair of [slightly differing] renderings -- demonstrates DD, D, B, M & T's versatility. The dark chord progressions and solitude of the desolate acoustic guitar and solo vocal immediately suggest the more mature tenor of the material. Certainly there are reflective structures in some of the tracks , with the use of minor chords and some give thought to something like the Moody Blues in places. 45catters will already recognise The Legend of Xanadu , Zabadak and Mrs Thursday. Where From, Where To? as the title suggests is a reflective ( but mid-tempo) number, for 'I've Got A Feeling' the Zabadak percussion comes out in an up-tempo ?Samba? beat. 'In A Matter Of A Moment' is a smoochy ballard , 'Mama, Mama' a hard - hitting rock number . ' If I Were A Carpenter ' is well known , but gets the groups progressions featuring. 'Look At Me' - think 'Deliah' crossed with 'Tears of a Clown' , ' The Tide Is Turning ' is possibly the strongest non-single track on here , and had not 1968/96 been both crowded in the pop charts and already two tracks out as A Sides , would have surely charted. 'Breakout' ()and 'Time To Take Off' I don't remember. In some ways this probably features Dave Dee to the exclusion of others vocals (maybe not A1b seem so indeed Dozy gets the solo credit likewise the last track on A side), Dave Dee is credited on A1a,B1, B3, B5, B6a, the whole group on the rest of the tracks except A4 Mrs Thursday- Dave Dee Beaky and Dozy and sometimes instrumentation as has studio orchestral over some of the tracks. In all a recommended buy. () I am reminded on 45cat that 'Breakout' was paired with 'Mrs Thursday' for the USA single release ✔︎ Helpful Review?
