Ziggy72 24th Dec 2021		Vinyl Album Black Sabbath - Black Sabbath (1970)	Just noticed the release date, Friday the 13th. But of course.
Ziggy72 21st Mar 2021		Vinyl Album John Lennon - Walls And Bridges (1974)	When those strings come in on 'Nobody Loves You' at 00.25 still get shivers. One of his best songs. Written during his separation from Yoko. Should of been a single.
Ziggy72 18th Mar 2021		Vinyl Album David Bowie - The World Of David Bowie (1970)	Listen closely, and after Bowie sings 'Mother cried and raved and yelled and fussed' in second verse (00:52) there's a noisy clutter. Unclear whether it's something hitting the mic or guitar, but it's definitely there. It's on every version of Uncle Arthur I've heard.
Ziggy72 18th Mar 2021		Vinyl Album ABBA - Arrival (1976)	First instance I believe of the ᗅᗺᗷᗅ logo
Ziggy72 18th Mar 2021		Vinyl Album Kate Bush - Never For Ever (1980)	This wonderful album is full of early instances of the Fairlight CMI (early sampler) although it isn't overpowering or distracting for what sounds a very natural overall sound.
Ziggy72 18th Mar 2021		Vinyl Album Bob Dylan - Bob Dylan At Budokan (1979)	£7.49 rrp at the time according to the official CBS sticker attached to the front sleeve on 1st releases.
Ziggy72 17th Mar 2021		Vinyl Album Elton John - Goodbye Yellow Brick Road (1976)	Discogs has this pressing as October 1978 which I seem to remember is pretty close. The label history matches too I believe.
Ziggy72 17th Mar 2021		Vinyl Album Mike Oldfield - Tubular Bells (1978)	A different mix has been used for this pressing. Very noticeable in the famous opening bars.
Ziggy72 17th Mar 2021		Vinyl Album Elvis Costello And The Attractions - This Year's Model (1978)	Brilliant idea to have slighlty different images for each territory. Not sure how many there are worldwide.
Ziggy72 17th Mar 2021		Vinyl Album Smokie - Smokie's Greatest Hits (1977)	On intitial copies the group image on the front is embossed
Ziggy72 14th Mar 2021		Vinyl Album Elton John - Greatest Hits (1974)	I remember being amazed at the way the cover photo looked a bit "different". Wax on the camera lens, my knowledgeable friend informed me.
