wordnwot 20th Jul 2017		Vinyl Album Simon Dupree And The Big Sound - Without Reservations (1967)	Nice write up on SD&BS
wordnwot 11th Jul 2017		Vinyl Album Yes - Yes (1969)	Thxs PhilMH :)
wordnwot 19th May 2017		Vinyl Album E. Power Biggs - A Stereo Festival Of French Organ Music (1961)	Single on Philips UK ....
wordnwot 11th May 2017		Vinyl Album Wally Whyton - It's Me, Mum (1968)	It seems that a mono version of this album exists TL 5476 if true, making this the last mono version of an album similtaneously released in both stereo and mono in the Fontana 5000 series with the black label.
wordnwot 8th Apr 2017		Vinyl Album Various Artists - 22 Electrifying Hits (1974)	IMHO a better than average collection of predominantly 1973 hits with not your normal run-of-the-mill chart trash that appears on most releases from this time. Features amongst others:- Stealers Wheel - String Driven Thing - Isley Brothers - Geordie - Nazareth - Focus - Speedy Keen! worth 50p anyday!
wordnwot 1st Apr 2017		Vinyl Album The Moody Blues - To Our Children's, Children's, Children (1969)	With a nod to FocusB's scans. Uploaded cleaner label scans.
wordnwot 26th Mar 2017		Vinyl Album Alex Harvey - Roman Wall Blues (1969)	Just sold on eBay 26 March 2017
wordnwot 11th Mar 2017		Vinyl Album The Beatles - Abbey Road (2017)	What a busy Label rim Text. Digital recordings from 2009 I see, nothing different in that respect as being available previously.
wordnwot 3rd Mar 2017		Vinyl Album Spirit - Twelve Dreams Of Doctor Sardonicus (1971)	pppppint Epic it was and always after Epic became their home for a while thereafter.
wordnwot 28th Jun 2016		Vinyl Album Fairfield Parlour - From Home To Home (1970)	No doubt it, this Album is splendid in all the same ways their previous efforts as Kaleidoscope were, carefully crafted songs with great thought placed on the construction and content of the lyrics. Very enjoyable!
wordnwot 31st May 2016		Vinyl Album Caravan - In The Land Of Grey And Pink (1971)	Gian_paolo. Yeah exactly.
wordnwot 28th May 2016		Vinyl Album Simon And Garfunkel - Sounds Of Silence (1966)	Guys, I note that the earlier cat # shows up as the french release in a plenty.
wordnwot 28th May 2016		Vinyl Album Leonard Cohen - Greatest Hits (1975)	Rear sleeve Side 1 Song sequence shows Bird on the Wire as the closing track side 1 when it plays Track 4.
wordnwot 26th May 2016		Vinyl Album Caravan - In The Land Of Grey And Pink (1971)	FOR SDL series only (there were 15 releases that used this Cat Series) 1st type: Brown small DERAM logo April 1971 - Late 1971 2nd type: Brown large DERAM logo March 1972 - May 1972 3rd type: Brown and Same as 2nd type but with added date above matrix right side of label (May 1972) only 4th type: Soft Red as in above label here. Date above matrix, June 1972 - October 1973 5th type: More intense red with crimson hue Date above matrix, Summer 1972 and again in 1977. ** There seems to be a 6th and 7th type with Small and Large DERAM logo's on RED with the date at the bottom like here. (dates unknown probably post Summer 1972 - 1973) (data from Labelography Volume 2 by Jan Pettersson)
wordnwot 26th May 2016		Vinyl Album Caravan - In The Land Of Grey And Pink (1971)	But why were Caravan 45's in UK released on Decca not Deram? I think the Golf Girl Single came out well ahead of ITLOGAP while they were still on the Decca roster, ahead of a concious decision to assign them to Deram.
wordnwot 23rd May 2016		Vinyl Album Yes - Yes (1969)	I've added the Kinney catalogue number K40034 because my copy has the Sleeve sticker on the back with this number hiding the old 588190 number beneath. But my vinyl has 588190 cat number making mine a mixture.
wordnwot 13th May 2016		Vinyl Album Santana - Santana (1969)	The sleeve, when framed makes really fabulous house art wall decoration.
wordnwot 7th May 2016		Vinyl Album Nilsson - Aerial Ballet (1968)	With a massive nod to janiejones's sterling work in adding all the stuff on this entry I took the liberty of uploading the 1st press black labels for everyone to see.
wordnwot 25th Apr 2016		Vinyl Album Nilsson - Aerial Ballet (1968)	Not really been a fan of Nilsson but on finding this gem in the charity shop rack and having a listen, you can see straight away why his writing talents were highly regarded and his singing and the production is of a high standard indicating some thought went into the album creation process.
wordnwot 16th Apr 2016		Vinyl Album The Who - My Generation (1965)	Matrix first pressings seem to be MG-10256-1B and MG-10257-1B Question: Do MG-10256-1A and MG-10257-1A exist out there, maybe somewhere??
wordnwot 16th Apr 2016		Vinyl Album The Who - My Generation (1965)	Info on bootlegs and official versions of this record...
wordnwot 12th Apr 2016		Vinyl Album Nite People - P.M. (1970)	Funky Hoe ... on a single
wordnwot 25th Mar 2016		Vinyl Album Nana Mouskouri - Turn On The Sun (1970)	Even though the STL 5xxx series had come to an end by May/June 1970, it appears that there remained a stack of black labels that were assigned to the new 7 number cat codes beginning with 6 although not sure how long these lasted before the blue labels became the norm on fontana.
wordnwot 12th Mar 2016		Vinyl Album Dr. Marigold’s Prescription - Pictures Of Life (1969)	Such an Imaginative LP front cover image from an unexpected record label indeed.
wordnwot 25th Feb 2016		Vinyl Album Led Zeppelin - Led Zeppelin [IV] (1971)	Some early copies come with 'inverted' feather symbol on side 2 label (see 987644)
wordnwot 25th Jan 2016		Vinyl Album Pretty Things - S.F. Sorrow (1968)	Reading the thread of comments especially Columbia singles, it cements in my mind that this LP and the singles releases were probably born out of a new enthusiasm found by the band from working with Norman Smith and caused them too get over indulgent in trying to mimic Sgt Peppers and lost sight of the fact that they were not really a successful band like the Beatles were. This album although brilliant was a step too far in terms of complexity and attempting to get the attention of a larger audience. Perhaps a complete re-branding group name change might have kicked this album off more successfully and caught the public's interest.
wordnwot 17th Jan 2016		Vinyl Album David Bowie - The Rise And Fall Of Ziggy Stardust And The Spiders From Mars (1972)	Added image 950073 - the front cover with so called 'Cut & Paste Cat number' based on the US artwork, 1st release with matrix BGBS 0864 -1E BGBS 0865 -1E
wordnwot 13th Jan 2016		Vinyl Album David Bowie - The World Of David Bowie (1970)	From this compilation. Deram Single... Another...
wordnwot 13th Jan 2016		Vinyl Album David Bowie - The World Of David Bowie (1970)	Oakley_Boys Mono exists see dodgy scan rip...
wordnwot 13th Jan 2016		Vinyl Album Chris Farlowe And The Thunderbirds - Stormy Monday (1967)	Matrix XAX 3044/3045 makes this pressing that used the same original stampers from Chris Farlowe & Thunderbirds Columbia SX 6034 Mono Release date: 1964 1st press Stamped matrix numbers: XAX-3044-1/XAX-3045-1 [YouTube Video]
