ppint. 6th Oct 2021		philmh: a typically generous offer, and one i can reassure you that yr hmbl srppnt. is unlikely to take up particularly frequently :-) ... - and yes, i'd forgotten to mention "de luxe" ° - and prob'ly a couple of other polydorgroup pricepoint level names too, besides. ° - comment below now edited to include "de luxe"



PhilMH 6th Oct 2021		P.S. if you ever need to know about American price codes, I can be more help, because I have a large number of Schwann catalogs, consisting of most of 1969, then late 1974 to 1980, a couple from 1981 and 1982, and then picking up more extensively from late 1987 to the catalog's demise in 2001.



PhilMH 6th Oct 2021		"the well-nigh infallible and almost inexhaustible encyclopedic knowledge of philmh's memory banks may help determine" Or not! Sorry ppint, I emigrated to Australia with my family in early 1971, so the finer points of UK record company price structures are mostly beyond me, but in the past few years I have picked up (via an experienced record industry person in Discogs forums, who seems to have had contact with most of the record companies in the UK, Australia, and New Zealand) that Polydor's Standard, Super, Deluxe and Double are just prices codes as you indicate, rather than parts of a label name. Since my last comment in 2017, I have found out that Metro was used as a reissue label in Australia too, as I found a Johnny Hodges LP; Michael de Looper's Phonogram/Polygram LP list has several Aussie Metro releases (starting at the bottom of page 13), which probably have the same catalogue numbers as the UK versions.



ppint. 6th Oct 2021		''polydor standard'' wasn't a record label: ''polydor'' was, but was also a major music corporate entity; it distributed a large number of labels, some of which were independent, purchasing a limited number of services from polydor, some of which paid polydor group to run most aspects of the label for them; and some of which were licensed from (mostly merkin) record companies, and wholly-run by polydor for the duration of the licensing agreement. the uk price structure of lps on wholly-owned labels, and on licenced labels, and iirc on all of the ''polydor was paid to run most aspects of our label'' labels, was set by polydor, and was indicated by both the four-digit prefix element of the cat# that also specified which of the labels in or licenced by the polydor group, or run by polydor on others' behalf; and also - and made obvious to browsing customers - by bearing one of the categorisations ''standard'' or ''super'', or ''de luxe'' (and also ''double'' if appropriate) in places upon the cover, including after the full seven-digit cat# on the back cover; there was also the bargain level price spot bearing ''99'' in a line-drawn box, which originally indicated a price of 99p (£0.99); plus later a ''mid-price'' guide-line indicating a price-point spot intermediate between the bargain price and the standard price-points. record companies who bought only a limited number of services from the polydor group might use part or all of the polydor group price structure for their lps, but didn't have to use all of them, and - iiuc° - could set additional, non-main-structure recommended retail prices, so long as polydor allocated a unique four-digit prefix element for the rrp they desired in the group of prefixes polydor group assigned to that company (& its label(s)). ° - ''iiuc'' because i could be misremembering as exceptions the whole of polydor group's elements indicating a 99p rrp changing to £1.25 - and then, later on, all to higher rrps - the well-nigh infallible and almost inexhaustible encyclopedic knowledge of philmh's memory banks may help determine...



Focus B 4th Sep 2020		Front and rear sleeve uploaded, not an easy task with text at the far corners of the 12" sleeve, but I have done my best using an A4 scanner. This copy doesn't have the Special Price Series banner at the top, as uploaded on Discogs The Special Price of £1.47 including 8% VAT would date this release between approximately 1975-1979. The spine of the LP credits the album as being on POLYDOR STANDARD 2356 142 rather than Metro... A great album, but had they replaced the dreadful cover of River Deep Mountain High with Anything, it would have been perfect. Also available on Music Cassette and 8-track.



ppint. 11th Jan 2017		thank-you philmh: yr hmbl srppnt. managed to miss the whole of the metro label's brief existence in the uk. . . (- life was interestingly busy, setting up & running single step bookshop easter 1975, keeping it afloat, and turning it into single step co-operative ltd, in the former threlfall's dairy, later united dairies & lastly whyckett's wallpaper warehouse. . . - very busy, but without any pay; so the purchase of lps and even singles became extremely occasional events, and learning to work and organise co-operatively at the same time as running a bookshop with many thousands of unlikely titles by the standards of the day. . . - and then advising on, and then effectively running two sf paperback lines from 1977-82, overlapping with the last eighteen months of the three years in single step. . .)



PhilMH 9th Jan 2017		Yes, there's another version with label images in Discogs. Metro was the label used for MGM reissues, in Britain at least.



ppint. 9th Jan 2017		was this really "metro", and not "mgm" (or metro-goldwyn-meyer) ?



philwill SUBS 20th Nov 2013		Both Discogs http://www.discogs.com/Eric-Burdon-The-Animals-Eric-Burdon-And-The-Animals/release/1289910 and RYM http://rateyourmusic.com/release/comp/the_animals/eric_burdon_and_the_animals_f1.p/ are very specific about the release date (October 1975) and chronologically the Cat# fits.....
