Those who dance are considered insane by those who cannot hear the music.

Vinyl Feature: Neil Diamond - Diamonds
As far as I can see this album was not a worldwide release and was only manufactured under licence in the Netherlands and Germany. It was released in 1974 and essentially was a Neil Diamond compilation album.
My copy was manufactured in Western Germany by TELDEC (Telefunken-Decca).
The only info I could get about it was from Discogs, and they don't give any more info than I can get off the album cover... except that it was also made in the Netherlands.

Vinyl Feature: Andy Gibb - Shadow Dancing
Shadow Dancing by Andy Gibb was released in April 1978 in the USA and only in September 1978 in the UK. Why? I have no idea...
I am not a great Andy Gibb fan and never owned one of his albums before, despite being a BeeGee's fan and having a couple of their LP's. However, this LP was sitting in it's original shrink wrap in the crates at a local second hand store when I was browsing around there recently and I simply couldn't resist the chance of purchasing guaranteed mint vinyl for 5 kr. ($0.76 US)!

Vinyl Feature: Roger Whittaker - New world in the morning
This copy of Roger Whittaker's "New world in the morning" is a bit of a mystery to me because all on-line sources, including Wikipedia, have it listed as being released in 1971 under the EMI record label. However the copy I purchased this morning from Larssons Lager in Landskrona clearly says it was released under the Phillips record label in 1974. I assume this was some kind of a re-release but it is unusual to have the record label change from one release to the other...
Either way the track listing appears to be the same, and the recording quality on my 1974 edition is absolutely first class so you will not hear any complaints from me!

Vinyl Feature: Placido Domingo - The Best of Domingo
The Best of Domingo by opera sensation Placido Domingo is a kind of "Greatest Hits" album and contains a number of very well known operatic pieces for the male tenor. This vinyl record was produced by Deutsche Grammophon in West Germany and released in 1982.
This copy, which I purchased from the Red Cross charity store in Landskrona, still has the original insert with all the lyrics and the vinyl record itself is in near mint condition. Not bad for a 10 kr. price tag!

1100 Bel Air Place was Julio Iglesias' first (mainly) English album and it was instrumental in giving him a
breakthrough into predominantly English speaking markets.
The album was released in February of 1984 and contained three hit singles, "To All the Girls I've Loved Before", "All of You" and "The Air That I Breathe".
