Comments and Reviews


Jock_Girl 11th Aug 2017		Added images 1421843 and 1421844. Both are a lighter green colour -- some say it is teal. 1421843 is an A side image with an alternate arrangement of publisher stamps and has different stamps when compared to 642472. As such, the catalogue number is returned to it rightful label location. The B side image1421844 is the same in that regard as 642473 as it carries the same stamps on both. However both 1421843 and 1421844 features variations in typeface as well as publishers.



Mark Taylor 🍰 22nd Sep 2016		Hey Neil, what do you have against song publisher's logos appearing on record labels? I think they look cute.



Neil Forbes 1st Sep 2015		The lads at EMI Australia were rushed off to the doctor's surgery after they wrote those notes... to get their tongues surgically removed from their cheeks! ha-ha!



Record Collector 1st Sep 2015		The liner notes really a crack up



Neil Forbes 1st Sep 2015		This album I posted some months ago has popped up again in the random lists.



Record Collector 30th Jul 2015		What I'm doing with you clip backing is actually live



Record Collector 10th Jul 2015		A1,A2,B2 and B6 I do have digitally remastered from the Australian pop series CDs sounds awesome give that updated sound



Neil Forbes 10th Jul 2015		I've recently burned this and its follow-up to CD-R, giving my own synthetic stereo effect to the monaural content of both LPs. They came up pretty good too, even if I do say so myself(modest little bugger, ain't I - don't answer that! ha-ha)



Record Collector 10th Jul 2015		Bevs backing track was actually live



Record Collector 17th Jun 2015		Yes you are so correct



goodiesguy 17th Jun 2015		The Bev Harrell clip below is from Bobby & Laurie's Dig We Must programme from late 1966.



Record Collector 12th Jan 2015		I have six out of fourteen tracks from this album on CD



Neil Forbes 12th Jan 2015		I'm in the process of recording the contents into MP3 format of these tracks. As yet I have two remaining tracks to do, Side A/Tr.1, Needle In A Haystack(Twilights) and Side B/Tr.7, Heatwave(Bobbie Thomas & The Whispers), both cover versions of Motown songs, as is Side 2/Tr.1, Something About You, Baby(The Vibrants) originally by The Four Tops. The Twilights were covering The Velvelettes and Bobbie Thomas was covering The Vandellas. I'll have to use an alternate source for the Twilights track as this one skips. Have to dig out by Glenn Shorrock compilation to get that last track!



Neil Forbes 11th Jan 2015		Bev Harrell's YT clip showed her singing, not miming, and that's to her credit. And yes, the backing track wasn't quite the same as was on the single or the LP track.



Record Collector 11th Jan 2015		Singing to alternative backing track that sounds different to the single release



Neil Forbes 10th Jan 2015		Just watched Little Pattie's clip.... She was Young Talent Time before Young Talent Time ever existed! I'LL EAT MY HAT was clearly one of her best. Wish they'd given her this calibre of song from the start of her career instead of that "stompie-wompie(ugh)" crap! I only have to think of that song, let alone hear it and it's like fingers down a blackboard. CRINGE-O-RAMA! Sorry Pattie but have done far better than that first one and I'll Eat My Hat proves it.



Record Collector 10th Jan 2015		Name of the album is not to be confused with another hit wave issued ten years later by polygram in 1978 hit wave 81 and 82



Neil Forbes 10th Jan 2015		It's a bit of a trick, actually. A single is issued and no-one quite knows of its existence until the record company's publicity department's wheels begin to spin. Then it's down to how much publicity the record gets, and if the radio stations pick it up and start playing it, and how often it's played, they're some of the factors that determine if the record will succeed or flop, and of course, if the public take to it or reject it.



Neil Forbes 10th Jan 2015		R.C. said: "only in mono of course it would be", Oh, but of course! I'm taking a break to catch some news, see you in an hour or so!



Record Collector 10th Jan 2015		well of course if it wants to make a chart entry it has to sell a few copies



Neil Forbes 10th Jan 2015		I have the Little Pattie, Bev Harrell and other tracks tucked away in MP3 files, lifted(mostly) from this LP and its follow-up. though the I'll Eat My Hat(burp!) track came off an EP of hers under that title. Hey Pattie, don't forget the tomato sauce!



Record Collector 10th Jan 2015		only in mono of course it would be



Neil Forbes 10th Jan 2015		That should put the chart debut for Bev's single at 18th January, 1967, and sure enough, it was! Debuted at 39, peaked at 6, spending 12 weeks on the NSW charts. Of course, this puts the issue date of the single back to around mid-December, 1966. There's a bit of a lag between issue date and chart debut date.



Record Collector 10th Jan 2015		another song I have on CD another from a great singer



Record Collector 10th Jan 2015		next Sunday it be forty eight years since she made her debut with this song so either this was rushed released that she recorded early January or from late 1966



Neil Forbes 10th Jan 2015		If you click on the rear cover for a close look, the tongue-in-cheek cover notes may give you a laugh or two, R.C. By the way, where's that link?



Neil Forbes 10th Jan 2015		The Bev Harrell clip might've been from 1968. The brief appearance at the end of the clip of the logo for Up-Tight is misleading as the cameraman in the shot was operating one of the Cameras for Melbourne ABC's Station ABV. She was performing the song live, not miming.



Record Collector 10th Jan 2015		im against all odds on that pun neil haha



Record Collector 10th Jan 2015		What Am I Doing Here With You Bev Harrell From the ABC television series dig we must October 1966



Neil Forbes 10th Jan 2015		The HMV label is circa late 1960s, about right for this issue. An earlier HMV label design used by EMI appears to be a slightly-modified version of the 78rpm label. The label version we're more familiar with, from the Explosive Hits series, had its genesis(Phil Collins butts in here..."did someone mention Genesis? I used to be in that..." Get outta here Phil, we're not talking about you!) Where was I? Oh yes, The label we're more familiar with, had its beginnings in 1970 or so.



Record Collector 9th Jan 2015		Bev Harrell shame I wasn't a teen back then or I would have a crush on her haha



Record Collector 9th Jan 2015		Some of the tracks I do have on CDs and note the HMV label compare to explosive hits 71,73,74 and 75



Neil Forbes 9th Jan 2015		Rear sleeve cover notes written - in part - with tongue firmly wedged in cheek! Those ugly-as-sin publishing company credit "stamps" taking up valuable real estate on the A-side label, causing the catalogue number to be moved out from its rightful spot. You in Britain never had to put up with this nonsense on your singles or albums. One other thing, three Motown cover versions grace this set, from The Twilights(A1), The Vibrants(B1) and Bobbie Thomas & The Whispers(B7).
