UPDATE HISTORY

DECEMBER

 

DECEMBER 28:

"Good Clean Fun" sheet music from Australia -

The USA version is just impossible to find, so I recently picked this one up.

It amazingly has the correct color scheme as every other Australian sheet music
just uses a very cheap looking black and white image for their covers.

 

DECEMBER 25:

Merry Christmas!

Recently found this Japanese Arista cassette from the 80s -

I don't pick up too many foriegn cassettes (at least not yet).

 

DECEMBER 21:

This is the fith Columbia Record Club (CRC) tape that I've been able to
track down for these '90s cassettes.

 

DECEMBER 18:

Added six new press releases for their early singles in the UK:

 

 

DECEMBER 16:

A record found from Nigeria:

Like South Africa & Rhodesia it does not mention
the name of the country on the label.

This closely resembles the early UK labels and shares
the same catalog & matrix numbers, however RCA Victor in the UK
stopped using these black labels in 1968 after "D. W. Washburn".

"BCNN" (on the above label) stands for the "Broadcasting Corporation
of Northern Nigeria" which was created in 1962.

This confirms it is from Nigeria and the history of the British Empire over Nigeria
also explains the similarities in the labels.

 

DECEMBER 9:

Found the correct sleeve for this German RCA EP:

It matches the jukebox strip; since it was never available
at retail it didn't have a picture sleeve.

 

DECEMBER 3:

Completed the pages for Nesmith's new release Cosmic Partners: The McCabe's Tapes:

Thanks to Ben Belmares for sharing his photos!
