They hadn’t, mine isn’t listed Haha, Discogs leper Been there done that myself You should have seen the discussion about the latest pressing of the My Bloody Valentine album Loveless and the fact I wanted to distinguish between those sold off the bands website that included one form of artwork and those released into the wild that had different inserts. I wanted to distinguish them by the weight of the shrink wrapped product. That one went of for over a week 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just been reading about these red sleeves, apparently they were shit and done away with after early presses. Of course this version of Colosseum Live is nowhere tobe found on Discogs so have had to add it myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More valuable, then? I never owned the album, but one of my mates did, and it was those inners that I remember about it. Were they ever used for any other album, or were they a one-off for Colosseum Live? Edited July 30, 2023 by mjmooney Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not according to Discogs. Lots of copies damaged by these sleeves. They were only used on the first press. Here's one comment: That's one for the "Most Stupid Packages Ever" museum. The glue underneath the foamstripes did attack the housed vinyls and caused kind of bubbled areas on the run-ins. This gives a slushing noise at the beginning and will truly kill your needle. I'd bet that most of the offered items have this. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xann Posted July 30, 2023 Author Share Posted July 30, 2023 Unstable plastic sleeves and jackets are a real issue with older vinyl. Particularly sleeves, PVC breaking down on the playing surface. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rjw63 Posted July 30, 2023 Share Posted July 30, 2023 Sticking with live... Doesn't say on the sleeve where this was recorded but vocalist David Byron mentions being in Birmingham a couple of times at the start of side one. A quick Google tells me this was recorded at Brum Town Hall, January 26 1973. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post bickster Posted August 2, 2023 Moderator Popular Post Share Posted August 2, 2023 I'm up working in the middle of the night doing some laborious system programming at a time that causes minimum disruption and one of the last songs I heard on the radio before bed was Fake Plastic Trees, so that has prompted me to play The Bends in full for the first time in many years. It still stands up 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post bickster Posted August 2, 2023 Moderator Popular Post Share Posted August 2, 2023 Finally the planets have aligned and I have been in a record shop where this was for sale… been a long time looking. Double CD Aphrodite's Child - 666 A counter cultural interpretation of the Bibles Book of Revelations from 1972. Never heard of the Greek prog band Aphrodite's Child? Well that's Vangelis and Demis Roussos to you and me. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
