MicSmith 22nd Dec 2021 | | Vinyl AlbumFleetwood Mac - Peter Green's Fleetwood Mac | The release date shown (24 February 1968) was a Saturday, so I wonder if this was released on 23 February - Friday's being standard at the time in the UK?

MicSmith 23rd Mar 2021 | | Vinyl AlbumPeter Gabriel - Peter Gabriel | This reissue was released in March 1985. I’m trying to tie this down to a specific week.

MicSmith 23rd Mar 2021 | | Vinyl AlbumGenesis - Foxtrot | Regarding the year of release I have a cutting showing this album and Peter Gabriel first solo album appearing in the CHC series of budget releases. The cutting is dated March 1985 and most probably came from Sounds (or Melody Maker or NME). I’m trying to tie this down more accurately.

MicSmith 29th Dec 2020 | | Vinyl Album[no artist listed] - Twelve Top Hits | Given the inclusion of The Beatles song Let It Be I suggest this was released late in March 1970 not February 1970 as the Beatles song wasn't released until March 1970.

MicSmith 22nd Nov 2020 | | Vinyl AlbumElton John - Empty Sky | Well it exists as a mono mix and a very small number of serious collectors have a copy. There are photos of it here on discogs:

I saw a mono sleeve in a record shop in Cardiff when I was going the University visits in 1981 trying to decide where to study. It was £5. I would imagine this was a stereo copy in a mono sleeve but I never thought seriously of buying it mainly because interest in mono records wasn't really there for me (or generally speaking) at that time.
Someone posted on Hoffman the other day that he recently bought a mono copy in among a bunch of albums and was going to report back on his copy but I haven't seen his follow up post yet.
With the 50th anniversay of this album having long passed without sign of a reissue I wonder if it'll ever be made more widely available now to be honest.
