@SKT - the Yoakam is actually what caught my eye first - that's in his 80s rockabilly era?

Bought this one second-hand in the early 90s for 10 deutschmarks. I'm not an 'vinyl expert' (actually, we just said 'records' then), but looking at it now I'm wondering if this could be an original release. Can anybody tell?

[Giles]

We were a bit more "sophisticated", we said LPs.....

[endo]

yeah, you brits …

@GraemeE I love that Dwight record. I don’t know if I’d call it true rockabilly…more Bakersfield I think. But I think he was playing a lot of rockabilly in California before releasing this.

@endo What a deal you got on that one. I can’t tell for sure but it sure looks original to me. I have such vivid memories of listening to that as a young kid. My kids love it now too. What an impact that album has had

[SKT]

@natehate love the Otis 45! I think my dad still has a stack of those I need to find. I remember some Young Rascals and Manfred Mann for sure

@endo I've found this info on Discogs about your item: https://www.discogs.com/release/726370-The-Beatles-Sgt-Peppers-Lonely-Hearts-Club-Band Looks like it was printed in Norway in '67.

I'm not good on this kind of stuff, but I also found it being sold on Ebay for $225.00 https://www.ebay.com/itm/113696032214

@endo i second what Denis said about discogs. The most sure fire way is to look at the numbers that are etched into the runout grooves of the record near the spindle hole. Those are the most accurate markings on a record. The catalogue numbers on the jacket can indicate many pressings in a range of years. Especially a record as widely pressed as this particular title. If you type those runout numbers into discogs search it will tell you the exact pressing you have.

@SKT X and my love of punk run very deep.

this is one of my most prized possessions. First pressing (oversized jacket and misprints in all their glory) of the debut album of the greatest band of all time. The were my first concert as a 16 year old kid in LA at the Hollywood Paladium. Changed my life forever.

[SKT]

@Mizmazzle Wow dude, what a first concert! I can see why that album has meaning to you. I’ve got the Animal Boy LP I’ll try to get a pic later and post.

Beatiful LP @endo .

My Maxi-LP haul in my favourite vintage record store this weekend.

Duran Duran- Notorious

Simple Minds- The Amsterdam LP

(The ‘Sign O’ The Times’ cover of Prince,
who I love, was unexpected!)

[GraemeE]

Received this as a gift in the mail from a friend earlier this week - the James Brown cover is my favorite tune so far

@GraemeE more great stuff. Love that Byrds album and the Gram Parsons. There’s a great tribute record out there called “Return of the Grievous Angel. A Tribute to Gram Parsons”. I think I had the cd. Great covers

[Nocturama]

@Aetas - not that I own a CD player any more, but I have the 3” mini-CD from 1989!
Just listening to the song now - streamed of course!
