wze50collect 23rd Oct 2019		Vinyl Album Alfred Hause Mit Dem Radio-Tango-Orchester Hamburg - Zur Blauen Stunde	This LP was originally released in 1953. The cover shown here is from a later pressing, most probably from 1957.
wze50collect 21st Oct 2019		Vinyl Album The Who - The Best Of The Who (1969)	Hi, this is not a German record. In Germany this LP had been released with a different cover under catalogue number Polydor 184152. This one may be French, but I'm not sure, had to look at the label...
wze50collect 20th Oct 2019		Vinyl Album Berliner Philharmoniker, Karl Böhm - Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart: Die Zauberflöte	This LP was originally released in 1965 as DGG 136440 (the number can be found in small print on the label. 2537003 is a 1970's reissue!
wze50collect 19th Oct 2019		Vinyl Album Eric Burdon - Eric Burdon Starportrait (1971)	The catalogue number at top of this page should be 2619 001 / 2351 001 + 2351 002. This 2-LP-set had been released in early 1971. The "M70" in the dead wax means December 1970 as the date of the transfer from tape to lacquer. That was too late for a release before christmas, no matter what Manfred Miller wrote in the liner notes...
wze50collect 19th Oct 2019		Vinyl Album Eric Burdon And The Animals - Love Is (1970)	This double LP was originally released in 1969 as MGM 665109/110. The 7-digit number 2613001 was not used before early 1970. Although the numbers of the LPs stayed the same, 2613001 is a re-release!
wze50collect 4th Aug 2019		Vinyl Album Brian Poole And The Tremeloes - Die Grosse Twist- Und Teenager Party (1963)	Not really identical... one track missing on each side!
wze50collect 17th Jul 2019		Vinyl Album The Beatles - The Beatles In Hamburg (1968)	No, this is not an export issue. "Tip" was a lowprice label connected to Polydor since the early 60s. This LP was released on Tip in the beginning of 1968, and a few weeks later the new lowprice label "Karussel" was launched. The two labels had different repertoire: On Tip were mostly cover versions of well known hits, performed by unknown artists. Karussell releases featured recordings by the original artists. So Polydor decided to quickly re-release this LP on the new Karussell label. As far as I know, the remaining LPs on Tip were destroyed, that's why they are very rare today.
wze50collect 17th Jul 2019		Vinyl Album The Beatles - "Rarities" (1978)	The Parlophone LP is a French export pressing for Germany! The first digit of the catalog number is the country code: "1" for Germany, "2" for France. And why on Parlophone? Maybe the French EMI had no Apple labels, so they used what was available and changed only the catalog number...
wze50collect 17th Jul 2019		Vinyl Album The Beatles - The Beatles In Hamburg (1968)	"B8" in the matrix shows the month in which the music was transferred from tape to the lacquer: "B" stands for February, and "8" for 1968. So the LP was most probably released in April 1968.
wze50collect 17th Jul 2019		Vinyl Album The Beatles - Help! (1965)	Sorry, but release date August 1966 isn't correct! The LP was released in Germany the same month as in the UK: August 1965. The scans 587149/587150 show the labels of the first pressings, all other scans show later pressings, even the one with the promo sticker.. Please correct the release date, thanks!
wze50collect 20th May 2018		Vinyl Album Cream - Fresh Cream (1967)	This is NOT from 1975. It's the original german pressing from early 1967. This edition was sold in the above cover with the black "Polydor International" emblem, but with the normal red Polydor label. When the LP was released, Polydor had just stopped the "International" label, but didn't mind the sign on the cover. The German "Fresh Cream" has never been reissued with this cover, and never with the number 623031! By the way, there were two more songs than on the British version ("Wrapping Paper" and "The Coffee Song"). I bought my copy in the spring of 1967 in a shop in Hamburg. I was 16 years old then, and it was the first LP I ever bought... MOD.: date corrected
wze50collect 12th Oct 2015		Vinyl Album Bob Dylan - Melbourne, Australia 1966 (1974)	Mojofilter, of course you're right. This edition was most probably made in the UK, and when listening everybody will HEAR that it is a copy because one can hear a lot of crackling of the well used original the bootleggers have copied... anyway, it has a very good sound quality, and it was a fantastic concert! I had bought this record in 1975, and I'm very sad about the fact that I have sold it some years later...
