Emi 10 Inch Lp's; 1964 ??

Probably Frank may know something about this, 10 inch LP's were very common formats in the 50's however stereo 10 inchers are extremely rare.

I thought that the last EMI 10 inchers were issued in the very early 60's but I've just seen a columbia ( thats EMI not CBS ) stereo 10 incher issued in 1964 and I was very surprised.

Frank do have any info on this...how late do these buggers go on for....it can't be any later than 64 surely ?? ( and don't call me surely ! )

Columbia lasted longer than any of the other affiliates -- as far as making 10" albums.

The latest that I know of in the standard Parlophone series were
PMD 1074 = Earl Bostic, Plays Sweet Tunes of the Fantastic 50's.
That LP came out in 1959.
The PMB series did not go very high.

-------------------------------

The standard series on HMV were prefixed BLP- and DLP-.
The latest I know there might be
DLP-1201 = Robert Wilson, RW and the White Heather Group.
That LP, too, is from 1959.

------------------------------

The standard series on Columbia were prefixed 33C- and 33S-.

The latest I know there might be
33S-1148 = Guides Belges, Musique des Guides Belges Vol. 2
This is probably c. 1962-3, although I haven't seen the back cover. The LP has the black label with blue logo, but it has the older pressing rings and no SIUK.

I do not know of any regular-issue ten-inchers from 1964.
Does it have the "Sold in UK" statement?

it must have SIUK text with that sleeve logo, but when I get it frank I'll be able to confirm, at the moment all I can say is that the sleeve has the Columbia/emi logo that dates it to late 1964/early 1965 and it is on the red columbia label so its classified as classical columbia I guess...its the same logo that is on Ferry across the Mersey sleeve and from memeory I think 5 live yardbirds !

I have one stereo 10 inch HMV , originally from 1958 this copy dates to around 1960 as it has the hard sleeve

SBO...That's a stereo prefix. Interesting.
I just looked up the permutations of that LP.
It looks like they issued a first 12" LP in 1963 (33CX 1844 = SAX 2487).
The first pressing of the stereo LP is on the silver (stereo) label with sound curves.
The label reads (p) 1963.

Then in 1964 they released the second volume -- in mono and stereo:
33C-1066 = SBO-2757. Both were ten-inchers!
SBO should correspond to the mono prefix of BLP, but it doesn't in this case.

That's very interesting, because the LP's right before it...
33C-1064, 33C-1065
and
SBO-2754, SBO-2756
weren't made in 1964.

33C-1065 = SBO-2756 was released in 1961,
while 33C-1064 = SBO-2754 is dated 1959.
These are on the blue/gold mono or blue/silver stereo label. I could not find SBO-2755 anywhere.

It looks like your 1964 LP was an anomaly out of its own time. I like it!

I know thats what attracted me to it.....I knew it was seriously weird when I saw it !!

I just am amazed EMI issued a NEW 10 incher as late as 1964 !!!

I have the mono's somewhere plus a couple of ep's. Now I just wonder as Melodia in the USSR were making 10" stereo LP's until quite late they supplied the master or at east this record was based on an original Melodia issue.

it probably was sourced from Melodia I do not know, but for sure it looks to me 100 percent UK 1964 issue

Oh mine were / are definitely UK just chewing the fat of why they did a 10" format so late. The Canadian Angel issue is 12" so will we ever know. Maybe all the 12" presses were making Beatles records? Will have to keep my eye open for more.

Beautiful!

And it came out in both mono and stereo, no less. Surely an unusual and scarce release. I wonder how many pressing machines were even available in 1964 to stamp out ten-inchers! They probably had to dust off an old one.

INDEED it has those pressing rings common to pressings prior to 61 !!

I'm very happy to own it....and I've always been partial to the old Red army tunes, not in a political way but they are strangely enjoyable..kalinka.. kalinka.....

Up until a few years ago i had no idea there were any 10 inch stereo's then i got a Handel stereo 10 incher on Columbia from 58.....and now this
