@StuartPenney1 @peterglazed Ps during the change there was a lot of crossing over with dual Kinney /pye matrices on discs with both K for kinney labels & WS/RSLP ones. Same with Atlantic group K/polydor matrices where the change was about a year later. Atlantic were also big on stickering for Kinney c 72

@muffmasterh @peterglazed I wrote about the Warner Reprise Pye connection. Some Zappa LPs on Reprise had the Pye info redacted around 1970

Four variations of the Incredible String Band's 1968 album "Wee Tam & the Big Huge." The cover photos were taken in Frank Zappa's LA garden at 2401 Laurel Canyon Blvd. John Mayall also spent time there and he recorded the song "2401" for his 1968 LP "Blues From Laurel Canyon"

@StuartPenney1 @peterglazed I find all these moves fascinating. With the loss of Warner Reprise UK PYE would cease to be a relevant player by the mid 70s, UK Decca too with only it's Stones back cat to keep it going. Polygram ( Polydor/Philips ) group & Warner wld even supplant EMI fm it's perch by late 70s

@StuartPenney1 @peterglazed Kinney/Warner also took over the Atlantic group fm UK Polydor & of course Warner Reprise which until 71 had been distributed by UK PYE. Oddly enough ELEKTRA/ASYLUM complete with it's new K for Kinney Warner prefixes then moved distribution to EMI c72-5 b4 going back to Warners

@muffmasterh @peterglazed Yes, Elektra distribution moved from Polydor to Warner Bros in 1971. Warners were owned by the car park company Kinney at that time, hence the "K" prefixes. In 1972 Kinney became Warner Communications and later Time Warner

19 year old Iranian wrestling champion Saleh Mohammadi was just publicly executed for protesting against the Islamic Regime. So, to all liberal Westerners: Watch and learn. This is what it’s like to ACTUALLY live in a nation with no free speech.

@GlamSlam72 Prob close to the tipping point were the UK charts took a serious turn for the worse...

📰 Record Mirror – The Charts (Singles & Albums) Writer: Record Mirror Chart Department Date: March 18, 1972 A snapshot of Britain’s musical heartbeat in March 1972 — a week where Nilsson reigned, Don McLean soared, Lindisfarne broke through, and T. Rex’s Electric Warrior continued its long, golden glow. Glam rising, folk storytelling surging, and chart pop reshaping the nation’s sound. The Record Mirror charts for March 18, 1972 capture a moment of transition: American singer-songwriters dominate the top tier, glam rock simmers beneath, and British folk-rock finds its footing. Nilsson holds No. 1 with “Without You,” Don McLean’s “American Pie” refuses to fall, and Lindisfarne’s “Meet Me on the Corner” climbs into the Top 10. On the albums side, Paul Simon, Neil Young, and T. Rex define the era’s competing moods. 📰 Key Highlights • Nilsson’s “Without You” holds the No. 1 single spot • Don McLean’s “American Pie” remains a cultural force at No. 2 • Lindisfarne score a Top 10 hit with “Meet Me on the Corner” • T. Rex’s “Telegram Sam” sits mid-chart as glam continues its ascent • Electric Warrior remains a Top 10 album months after release

@peterglazed @StuartPenney1 Stereo originals are actually harder to find than mono's ( for most UK Albums tbh ), the record companies had to more or less force us into stereo 69/70 as most still had dansette style players, we were scared these would damage stereo records even though most would not !

@StuartPenney1 @muffmasterh I'm starting to worry now about not having the stereo version to get the full sound of the penny whistles!

@StuartPenney1 @peterglazed & from about 71 K for Kinney ( stereo only )

@peterglazed @muffmasterh EKL = mono EKS = stereo The insert came with both and was included even with the 70s re-issues

@Zero_4 Because they had the third largest public vote in the last GE maybe ?

Why is a political party with 8 MPs constantly provided representation by entirely unelected people? #BBCQT

@RodneyMarshall1 @01Leaford In one early hour DM when playing a British officer l see to recall he says " l am not English l am lrish "

@01Leaford As he dropped into one Danger Man episode, he was a citizen of the world.

Because of the prisoner and Danger man, he was English. He'll drivers as well

Rejoining the EU would mean free movement to U.K. for everyone coming into the EU , us paying around £34 billion fee pa, adopting the euro, no control of interest rates, EU regulation by technocrats, loss of superior trade deals , likely EU army, EU Net Zero disaster, etc

@60sPsychJukebox Thanks for the purple hearts Harold !

March 19th 1964 - The Beatles are presented with an award for Show Business Personalities of 1963 by Harold Wilson at a Variety Club of Great Britain luncheon. Later that year, Labour won the 1964 general election with a narrow majority of four seats, and Wilson became prime minister, October 16, 1964. At 48 years old, the youngest person to hold that office since Lord Rosebery, 70 years earlier.

@peterglazed @StuartPenney1 67-8 Uk Elektra's were distributed by Polydor but for some reason pressed by UK CBS, labels were Red or dark Orange with black text.

@muffmasterh @StuartPenney1 Oh bugger. No inserts with mine which is an orange label pressing. Lyrics for both albums on the outside and picture one on the inside.

@StuartPenney1 Yes l think the lyrics were on the front, have to check my copy in the hope i may have two duplucate inserts 😃

@muffmasterh Only one insert, a poem by Robin "The Head"

@RodneyMarshall1 Brother of Dana Andrews no less ( ps nice roof box RT )

American actor Steve Forrest discovering the delights of an English cup of tea when filming on location.

It wouldn't be an ITC action-adventure series without at least one location shoot in a quarry or land fill. Sue Lloyd seeing the funny side of things on a Baron location shoot. 1/3

@RodneyMarshall1 Never in Summer either lol

@RodneyMarshall1 Hehehe but there was a Toga for the man who loved lions 🤣🤣🤣🤣
