Gatefold cover that folded down from top.
B11 is a rerecording, and A5 is the early non-hit recording (as usual).

| | Ah, I see the moderator has filled in the "blanks" with artist/group credits. Thanks, Mod!
George, I've started the forum thread as "Tommy Roe's Sheila". Add to it at your own time. Cheers! |

| | George, I'm with you on that one! If I can get the authentic version, thank's muchly! But if the track's a re-recording, I run in the opposite direction to get plenty of space between myself and that "fake" version. It's the reason I stopped buying CDs some time back and now haunt places like Rices in Newcastle's Hunter Street West, or other places like Cooks Hill Books & Records in the nearby suburb, Cooks Hill, or recycling centres, like the one here at Salamander Bay(Port Stephens, north of Newcastle) or another one in the outer Newcastle suburb of Sandgate. Places like that are veritable treasure troves for someone like me. As for the forum discussion, yeah, fire it up and I'll see you there! |

| | Well Neil, if it were me I'd rather have no song than the fake.
So to sum up, almost all the songs on this LP are the originals.
Do you want a Sheila discussion in the forum? |

| | George, I'm at a loss then. I've no answer to this one, but it does prove my point that labels like TeeVee and others I've named elsewhere are not to be trusted if you're on the hunt for authentic versions of your favourite songs of the 1960s or any decade for that matter. What I said 5 hours earlier about erasing rejected "takes" so only the authentic(issued) version remains, that remark still stands. It would go a long way toward weeding out these little cheaters like TeeVee, If we could get rid of them.... Good riddance! |

| | Neil, the YT is not the one from this LP. That's part of my investigation. I got the original 45 lately. Do you hear the difference in the guitars on radio? It would have been some super processing if it is. I'll add more to this yet, and YT could be a good place for a discussion too. |

| | nboldock, check the correction queue [is that an actual word?] and there are 3 more songs to add. Otherwise it's correct. On the inside sleeve all are listed. |

| | George, I've just listened to the YT clip of Sheila. The station was playing the original 45rpm single. If this is the version used on this LP, then it's in a minority as it's one of the few AUTHENTIC versions on this set. It was issued on ABC-Paramount in the USA and the label and recording was licenced to Festival in Australia in 1962. For Britain the track appeared on HMV in the same year, and by the way, it's a self-penned hit for Tommy Roe. |

| | Is it just me or do the tracks on the sleeve not all correspond to the ones we have listed here?
Obviously the artist names need fixing as well. |

| | Hi, George. You know what would've been a great idea? If the record companies kept ONLY the "takes" that were actually used for the singles or album tracks that were ACTUALLY issued by those companies(like EMI, Warner, RCA, Motown, Stax, etc.) and WIPED, ERASED, OBLITERATED the rejected versions that never saw the light of day through those labels, then those labels themselves, along with the likes of Ronco, K-Tel, TeeVee, Concept, Music World or any other re-issue label that comes sniffing around, looking for content for their latest "original hits" album, would have absolutely NO CHOICE but to issue authentic product on that album, be it vinyl or CD. |

| | Neil, I have covered all of them.
Now I'm trying to investigate the various versions of Sheila. You could check this Youtube post.
Oh and note the usual nod to the late-60s punks with B9, thinking it would make them buy it. |

| | Hi, R.C.! The albums you mentioned were recorded by a studio musician(usually uncredited), particularly for the label, but when labels like this try to put out "original artists/original hits" compilations, you can bet your last dollar that hardly ANY of the tracks will be "original". |

| | B1 is a re-recording? How many more of these tracks are thus? I look on labels like these(TeeVee, Ronco, Concept, Music World and latter K-Tel) has highly suspect as you can't trust them to use authentic versions. No good saying "what do you expect for $(whatever number)", I expect at least they make the effort to get the proper authentic versions to justify the price they charge, whatever that price may be. |

| | Rhythm Of The Rain is also a rerecording.
I'm trying to investigate whether there were two recordings or masters made at the time of 16 Candles. |
