More acetates on Ebay, this time US 10 inch acetates from c. 1971-1972 of Lennon’s Power To The People, McCartney’s Another Day and Oh Woman Oh Why (one acetate for each side of Paul’s 1971 single), and Ringo’s 1972 glam-rock offering, Back Off Boogaloo. The seller claims the discs are 78 RPM: can that really [...]
Now here’s a funny thing. We all know, don’t we, that the last proper Apple single release was R6012, George Harrison’s rather dour This Guitar (Can’t Keep From Crying) (no doubt unintentional, but sounding like a deeply ironic valediction to the label that George later said was his biggest waste of money).
And so what’s this [...]
Having been off Ebay for a while (”Cold Turkeeee….”), just a quick post to note the passing of an acetate of Doris Troy’s single Jacob’s Ladder (Apple 28 in UK). Who knows, maybe it was Doris’s, or George’s, own test cutting.
Seems a shame Jacob’s Ladder didn’t do better, back in the Autumn of 1970: [...]

Just too quiet here lately, so it’s nice to know, through the amazing power of the pingback, or somesuch, that “Dear Angie” is also favoured by Armour of Rod. Cheers, Rod!
There may have been a bit of confusion with Dear Angie over time, since I moved it from Blogger.com to here. Though all of the [...]
Direct from that parallel linguistic universe called variously the Netherlands and Holland - where an anglophone without any Dutch will typically encounter words that look and sound at once enticingly familiar yet totally incomprehensible - comes another Twilight Zone experience, in the form of Serzjant Paepers Oeits Haos Sterre Band. Can you see what [...]
So we’ve just discovered that it’s ok to like ELO - but will it ever be ok to like ELP? Well, if you’re an Apple Acetate collector you might have to bite the bullet: there’s an Apple acetate of ELP’s Tarkus album on Ebay right now. The album proper was released on Cotillion Records in [...]
Interesting to see this French James Taylor single on Apple: Taylor had “Carolina” released among the first tranche of Apple singles in the US, but no single was released in UK until “Carolina” was released in 1971. Clearly Taylor was deemed worthy of a single in mainland Europe, but there the track chosen from his [...]
Would quite like to get off the subject of Apple Records for a while, but I suppose I’d be failing in my Apple blogging duties if I didn’t report the appearance of a copy of King Of Fuh on Ebay. No point in blogging the latest bid (currently over £600), but I’ll make a note [...]
I commented a while back that I’d narrowly missed a chance to see Billy Preston when we were in Nice last year. And now sadly it looks like I won’t be seeing him at all: he died earlier today.
Needless to say the news wires are already filling up with all that “fifth Beatle” stuff. (Just [...]
