Whyperion SUBS 6th Nov 2023		Vinyl Album Various Artists - Original Reggae Greats Vol. 2 (1974)	I assume the record being pressed in the US was to do with oil crises and labour issues in the UK 1973/74 ? Or were some jacketed and sent to other worldwide countries / US distribution ??
Whyperion SUBS 21st Jan 2023		Vinyl Album Charlie Kunz - Charlie Kunz Selection (1953)	Charlie Kunz had earlier cut Piano Roll of Walter Donaldson Fox-Trots. A couple of the tunes feature on this LP and related EPs but I dont think all were recorded as a special to Donaldson on one disc [YouTube Video]
Whyperion SUBS 13th Jan 2023		Vinyl Album Julie London - Send For Me (1961)	yes indeed from one of the YT curations of TBirdsof1965 [YouTube Video] Presumably sleeve notes would inform us that Jimmy Rowles band including Jack Sheldon on trumpet

Whyperion SUBS 14th Dec 2019		Vinyl Album [no artist listed] - Hits '67 (1967)	I suspect it will be a retailers. The mother-in-law could never resist a bargain (rather than thinking what is the true worth of this ?) And I think it was a family from new one rather than a bulk charity incoming pile one.
Whyperion SUBS 19th Oct 2019		Vinyl Album [no artist listed] - Hits '67 (1967)	My copy has a sticker on front sleeve at 11/- written. So 12/6 was too expensive for a budget sale in 1967 !
Whyperion SUBS 19th Oct 2019		Vinyl Album The 50 Guitars Of Tommy Garrett - Go South Of The Border (1962)	Question Discogs does not list the F suffix cat number, does the S in a circle indicate that this is Stereo, there is no other info on the label or sleeve. Do any pressings exist without an F Suffix ?
Whyperion SUBS 25th Jul 2019		Vinyl Album Fat Freddys Drop - Based On A True Story (2005)	Sold this one for Valuation of about GBP 16
Whyperion SUBS 1st Jul 2019		Vinyl Album Roy Ayers And Wayne Henderson - Step In To Our Life (1978)	Mine is a label variation (appear another 2/3 on Discogs !) with the raised ring considerably further out and different typeface. Any ideas as to pressing plants?
Whyperion SUBS 25th Jun 2019		Vinyl Album The Harry Robinson String Sound - Moody And Magnificent (1960)	Nice sleeve when I can scan it 25p from the chazza
Whyperion SUBS 21st Jun 2019		Vinyl Album The Beatles - Help! (1965)	Why didn't capitol use the UK mono mix (if it existed)... oh, I forgot, Capitol A&R did their own thing, for good or ill. Anyway good to see it used, and we all did similar things at that age.

Whyperion SUBS 9th Jun 2019		Vinyl Album Glenn Miller And His Orchestra - Plays Selections From The Glenn Miller Story And Other Hits (1956)	My Copy has the green shade cover similar to the USA issue, and the labels are later ? with the open RCA logo.
Whyperion SUBS 9th Jun 2019		Vinyl Album Jethro Tull - Original Masters (1985)	Disc exists with two or three masterings, one being Trident, Also one pressing has Orlake in Runout of B Side, other ones dont have that. More possibly exist.
Whyperion SUBS 9th Jun 2019		Vinyl Album The English Concert - The Four Seasons	Played on a Baroque Violin the tone is different to modern, or C19th instruments, being 'sharper' and for the viols a brighter bass area, to my ears I actually dont like it, prefering modern interpretations of Spring.
Whyperion SUBS 9th Jun 2019		Vinyl Album Christian Kaiser - Musik Aus Funf Jahrhunderten	Not the guitar one, but interesting John Dowland item [YouTube Video]
Whyperion SUBS 8th Jun 2019		Vinyl Album The Virtuosi Of England Arthur Davison - Brandenburg Concertos (1972)	[YouTube Video]
Whyperion SUBS 8th Jun 2019		Vinyl Album Jim Reeves - Welcome To My World (1975)	My labels might be a more green shade than these bluey shade ones.
Whyperion SUBS 8th Jun 2019		Vinyl Album The 'Nottingham Barbers' Shop Quartet - The 'Nottingham Barbers' Shop Quartet Sing Music From Era Of Great Gatsby (1974)	Images elsewhere on the Internet.
Whyperion SUBS 8th Jun 2019		Vinyl Album Emil Gilels, The Bolshoi Theatre Orchestra Conducted By Samuel Samasud - Emil Gilels Plays Tchaikovsky's Piano Concerto #1 Opus 23 (1964)	Images of a sort elsewhere on the internet Pickwick International Inc. (GB) Ltd. from classicalmusicselloff.weebly.com .. (webcache- maybe they changed their mind !) " First, it must be said that the Allegro Label was renowned for their terrible pressings. This recording is somewhat dated and a little boxy. That's the bad side. Emil Gilels' playing of the Concerto is magnificent. He brings an epic feel to the work and delivers a performance which is both exciting and Romantic. Samasud may not be a name that is well known to Western audiences but he was a massive personality in Russia (USSR) and the Soviet Bloc. The performance is well worth investigating and Emil Gilels makes this LP a must. " ( and they are/were selling it at £1.99 plus the postage. I wonder where Allegro sourced the recording from? As ever the sleeve notes are pretty comprehensive and almost worth re-typing.

Whyperion SUBS 3rd Jun 2019		Vinyl Album The Moody Blues - This Is The Moody Blues (1974)	I have a feeling I bought this from Britannia Music Mail Order Club somewhat after 1974

Whyperion SUBS 6th Dec 2017		Vinyl Album The Joy Strings - Well Seasoned (1966)	'Live' Version of There Will Be God Unfortunately internal politics William Davidson comments on YT [YouTube Video] Title of the LP: Festival of sounding praise, Salvatian army. Soloist is captain William Davidson, leadsinger of the Joystrings (Salvatian Army) "William Davidson 4 months ago So glad we also recorded this in Abbey Road. In the Albert Hall version a certain SA official made sure my mic wasn't up in the mix and didn't want the song on the album. Sitting in the sound booth with the producers they told me he derided almost every note. However, an EMI producer told him, 'B......d,. If you don't have this track, you don't have an album. We walk out.' Those were the days! Love flows more readily toward us in retrospect " In my opinion live or otherwise the track is not that well presented, the words demand a style of presentation that is beyond what Bill and others actually achieved at the time.
Whyperion SUBS 6th Dec 2017		Vinyl Album The Joy Strings - Well Seasoned (1966)	Also issued in the USA on Epic [YouTube Video] Does A1 out Beatle the Beatles ? A3 Out Fly The Byrds ? A5 Is somewhat reminding of The Kinks B4 to the tune of 'House Of The Rising Sun' B5 Is to the Tune of 'Normandy Carol'

Whyperion SUBS 22nd Oct 2017		Vinyl Album Mantovani And His Orchestra - The World Of Mantovani Vol.2 (1969)	Oh great, just realised I have picked this up in another job lot, ( collected for Charity shop to keep the donator happy incase anything else passes out of the house later ). So on for another play, on the mono machine, must get the Stereo HMV sorted at sometime to hear in all its bestness. The donation came in an incorrect inner sleeve so I shuffled around to get a proper Decca blue stereo inner from the rest of the pile that came in.
