Comments and Reviews


Lee Wrecker 23rd Jun 2023		Hi VJ, I got your PM and have added the missing side 2 label. It just needs to be shuffled into place and the second side one image can be deleted or hidden. I did this entry a computer or two ago but have managed to keep copies of all my entries and more importantly my images. So, no bother to track this one down and it was already done but I mistakenly put the side one image on twice when doing the original entry. Cheers, for spotting the error VJ. Mod edit - Images sorted.



wax_museum 6th Feb 2014		Original labels were gold - white (Astor)



PhilMH 4th Jan 2014		Hi Lee, this pressing would definitely be 1973 or later - the clue is the company name "WEA Records Pty. Ltd". which didn't come into use until 1973 (before that, it was Warner Bros. Records. Pty. Ltd. starting in 1970, and then Kinney Music Pty. Ltd., but I'm not sure that either of those names ever appeared on the pressings, which were all distributed by Australian Record Company Limited). Also, the Elektra label was still distributed by Astor (Radio Corporation Pty. Ltd.), or even released using the Astor label, until early 1971 in Oz.



Lee Wrecker 4th Jan 2014		The cat# for these Australian releases are almost identical to US originals except they don't have the hyphen and the same as original Australian release. Most likely mid 70's to early 80's release but no dates whatsoever (not even original publishing date) on covers or labels.
