GO GLP3001:BOBBY&LAURIE 2ND.PRESS LP DIFF.LBL.DESIGN

 Recently a friend passed away - he was a gem of a person, and aside from the obvious sadness involved in all that, he was renowned for having one of the best collections of 60's Garage, Beat, Punk & Psychedelic 7"s, EPs and LPs (especially of Australian artists) - gathered together meticulously and carefully for longer than the 36 year period I'd known him. Some things he'd parted with over the past few years of little work and continuing overheads, and a small section was stolen by someone also well-known here (I suspect her karma will come) - but the bottom line is, he had amazingly good taste, and (like a previous recent collection I was selling here) the gems he had were mostly handpicked for excellence....[with some others gathered to complete (often very obscure) label collections].

ARTIST:      BOBBY (BRIGHT) AND LAURIE (ALLEN)..(with backing by The Rondells) -
TITLE:          "BOBBY AND LAURIE" .
FORMAT:     …vinyl LP…
LABEL:         GO!! .
CAT. #:          GLP-3001  .
DATE OF RELEASE:   OCT. 1965 .
PRESSED IN:    AUSTRALIA .
ORIGINAL FIRST PRESSING?   No, not quite...this is the second press, but still from 1965 . 

Mono with flipback cover (I've never seen a stereo pressing...did it exist??)...So...what makes this a second pressing?...there's 3 things, all to do with the label:

1. the label design (the following are all differences: in this pressing, the song titles/songwriters/publisher are in italics, i.e. slanted, lettering; ...on both sides, one of the publishers' logos is to the left of the centre-hole, the others are to the right of it; ...production credits have been added, directly below the centre-hole, followed by the album title; the artist name is at the bottom of the label...)

2. a correction in the publishing details (on the Side Two label, the publishing credit for "You Got It Off Me", written by The Easybeats' George Young and Stevie Wright, has been corrected to Albert - and consequently the J. Albert & Son logo makes its first appearance on the label), and

3. the addition of production credits (as hinted at above, this second label has "PRODUCED BY ASTOR & D.Y.T. SERVICES" directly below the centre-hole on both sides - this wording did NOT appear anywhere on the first pressing's labels).

The labels were hurriedly changed almost immediately when Alberts complained about the lack of their publishing credit (that's inside info from a long-memoried ex-Alberts employee!).

I've also added in the pix of the first labels for you to compare (after the pix for THIS LP's labels)...but no gettin' confused on what you're bidding on, OK?

THE MUSIC: most are killer garage cuts...really!! It's one super-consistent album...way up there with The Allusions, The Missing Links, Mike Furber And The Bowery Boys LPs as one of thee best Aussie 60's garage albums.

SEE PIC FOR TRACK LISTING.

CONDITION:

COVER: (VG++)...very nice condition for a cover that traditionally marks so easily...has minor ringwaer front and back, and small seam split at the bottom, plus basic scuffing, mostly on the bottom seam and the two right-hand corners...and a small repaired tear (taped on the INSIDE only) on the opening edge...

VINYL: (VG+[+])...it's in VERY nice condition...has several light marks as its only blemishes, but retains some shine still...plays beautifully with a few light crackles on the couple of quieter numbers...

LABELS: (Side One: M- / Side Two: M-)...

If you have any concerns about the accuracy of my gradings, please check my feedback for the odd nice comment from some satisfied folk out there.... (and hopefully you may be able to join their ranks).

You can pay in US$'s or UK pounds or EURO's or Australian dollars.

Thanks for considering this item. Best of luck if you decide to bid...Cheers, Jules.
