Notes

The credit in Levitate is shown on cover as Walters but should've been Wolters! Silvia's Mother and Cover Of Rolling Stone are rightly CBS recordings of 1972 vintage and should've been duly credited as such. Instead Capitol showed the tracks as C/right 1980 Capitol - naughty, naughty!!

Comments and Reviews


Record Collector 30th Sep 2015		Yes I have neil



Neil Forbes 30th Sep 2015		RC, did you see my latest comment on the British version?



Record Collector 30th Sep 2015		Now this is more like it



Record Collector 14th Jan 2015		The play series lasted around the mid eighties where it continued from there I really don't know but I do have the EMI compilation called surf n summer as the title says some of the songs on the album are just that



Neil Forbes 14th Jan 2015		I don't know exactly how many issues there were in the PLAY 1000 series but obviously ran to more than 21 albums. For the James Bond themes EMI simply left the '1' out of the catalogue number, though it would've been planned to be the 7th in the series in any case. But did I tell you that James Bond had a brother? Eric. Nicknamed "Poxy" by schoolmates, as he grew, he followed big brother Jim into the spying game. He hated his given name so asked people to just call him E. Bond, but he was always getting into sticky situations, so much so that someone remembered his schoolboy nickname and that's how he became known as E. "Poxy" Bond! (Epoxy...get it?) Ha-Ha!



Record Collector 14th Jan 2015		Anne Murrays Greatest Hits EMI PLAY 1001 Dr Hooks Greatest Hits EMI PLAY 1003 Slim Dusty Number 50 EMI PLAY 1004 The Beatles Ballads EMI PLAY 1005 All The Best From Smokie EMI PLAY 1009 These are some of the EMI Play catalogue series but one album that I find very amusing is James Bonds greatest hits PLAY 007 get it oh just two more albums Beach Boys Greatest Hits PLAY 1013 and the John Lennon Collection PLAY 1021



Neil Forbes 13th Jan 2015		Good night all! I'm jumping off the website here(logging off)! Keep watching though, I've got some more goodies yet to be uploaded so "watch this space!"



Neil Forbes 13th Jan 2015		The album was issued as part of a series across all EMI labels, carrying the PLAY-1000 series catalogue numbers, this one was the third in the series as PLAY-1003.



Record Collector 13th Jan 2015		This album was released at the same time with two other greatest hits albums smokie all the best and Anne murrys greatest hits



Neil Forbes 13th Jan 2015		I have that album too, R.C.! Stand-out track is "Cooky & Lyla"! For a group as zany and hilarious as Dr. Hook was on stage, they sure could turn out some great ballads!



Record Collector 13th Jan 2015		Correct Neil their first album under their new name was bankrupt



Neil Forbes 13th Jan 2015		One track I have on another CD issue is the B-side to A Little Bit More, titled A Couple More Years, another great song! Dr. Hook were a great group, hilarious on stage! I saw them perform 'Live' at the Civic Theatre, Newcastle many years ago. Their support act was Ross("I Am Pegasus") Ryan. When he first came on the audience booed him but he won that Newcastle crowd over by about his third song. I think the year might've been 1975, Dr. Hook would've just dropped the "Medicine Show" tag and touring to promote the Bankrupt LP, Ryan himself would've been promoting his After The Applause album and its feature track, Blue Chevrolet Ballerina.



Record Collector 13th Jan 2015		The millionaire B side to only sixteen great track



Record Collector 13th Jan 2015		Now that's how I remember it



Neil Forbes 13th Jan 2015		Here it is, folks! The Australian version of Dr. Hook's Greatest Hits. What I said in the notes is quite right. A close look at the respective labels will reveal A10 and B7 both credited to Capitol(EMI's US subsidiary) and shown as having a 1980 copyright date. The label should by rights have stated "Used by permission of CBS Inc. - Published & Copyright 1972" One stand-out track on this set that the Brits missed out on is Tr.B8, a brilliant ballad that became a favourite of mine from the first time I heard it! Red-Winged Blackbird - Beautiful!
