Re: [ARSCLIST] Curious--was: well, this might <snip>Questions galore !



Don,

It's nice to see someone in a position,such as yours show up here.I have a number of records,I have accumulated over the years,that I have questions about,and as I go through my collection,again,I will dig them out.I was wondering if you could identify or give me further information about them. 

Let me start with some early UK microgroove Lp acetates.I have four acetates.These acetates appear to be early experimental (?) Lp transfers of 78 sets, dating from the 1940s,although most of the recordings are of the 1938-9 vintage.I think.I have Two 12" ones,and to 10" ones.The artists are Benno Moisevich, Thomas Beecham,Bruno Walter,and The VPO,and Boyd Neel.These are professional quality acetates,and not home recording jobs.The labels are not printed as coming from EMI,but the UK EMI catalog numbers are written on the labels,and the printing on the labels,identifies them as coming from the mastering plant,of somebody named Troutbeck,in Middlesex.Assuming these are EMI acetates,how old are they,and who is this Troutbeck ? Teh Google,and other online searches,come up empty.

Jumping ahead several decades,and genres,we come to Blur,and Parklife.I recall reading in "Goldmine",in 1998,that there was a purple Capitol label 45 of this song.Nobody I have contacted about this record,has been able to verify it exists
Was it indeed issued,what is the number,and what is the b-side ?

I own an original pressing of the Exotica classic "Forbidden Farm"/"RFD Rangoon"by The Forbidden Five.This has appeared on several compilation CDs,in the past 9-10 years,but the original 45 came out on Capitol.Who were The Forbidden Five ?

Does a commercially issued stock 45 exist of "It's Going To Happen !",by The Undertones ? (Harvest 5027 or matrix # SX600340) If so,what is the b-side ? Julie Ocean?

Did Capitol record anything with Mark Lindsay,in 1976-77,or is this one of the many hoaxes "Goldmine" put out there ? 

This is just the start,believe me,I got lots more.

paperwork as that is stored in paper vaults under someone else's careful
watch.

I do have metal parts, 16" transcription discs, 78's LP's, ect. as well
as analog tape, digital tape, cd's, dvd's, and most other media storage
formats. I also keep session notes, recording logs, release books, etc.

If it came out in the US with EMI/Capitol/Virgin/Blue Note (or any other
subsidiary label) then technically I should have the masters and 2
copies of the finished product.

The job keeps me pretty busy, which is why I lurk more then I post in
this forum.

P.S. I don't do the suing.....Legal Affairs gets that job.
