Hello Iouri,
I have been enjoying your book for several weeks now. Thank you very
much! Here are my thoughts on the book, and you may quote me.
All best wishes,
Pete Grendysa
The book is stunning - a
work of art and scholarship. There has never been a history of a record
company as thorough and detailed as this. I am speechless with
admiration and envy. The numerous photos, information about every facet
of record production, design and packaging, and artist details are
presented in a clear and readable format. A price guide is a useful
addition, and the book has release dates and a complete index.
Anyone contemplating doing
a label history will have to strive to achieve this very high level of
excellence. And anyone interested in the story of one of most important
labels of the rock era needs this book.

I think that you have done
a really good job in putting together all the informations. The book is
obviously a great reference for collectors especially in pointing out
the minimal differences in the sleeves as you do in the appendix. This
is crucial especially in the ebay-dominated era where you can often
barely see the details of the objects.
Reading the book, I also
discovered an unexpected wealth of records published by island that come
before the famous pink label era and that I didn't know at all. I
imagine that they don't surface very often though.
Thanks again for the
wonderful book,
Enrico Bodo

Dear Yuri
To say it just in few words: The book is fantastic and it must
have been a hard work to compile all this information.
I am a record collector for 20 years now and I'm still
struggling to identify a pressing of a certain release. In this
context your book gives a very useful overview of all the
details and I'm already looking forward for the second one.
Therefore I would very much appreciate if you can inform me
about the date when it will be available.
Best regards,
Stefan

Dear Yuri,
Well, I think your book is absolutely amazing. It’s the
Bible, man! The attention to detail is fabulous and sheer
profusion of material is incredible. I would be grateful if
you could keep me informed about anything you are working on.
I am particularly interested in Vertigo stuff, too and have
a nice collection of the early releases from my teenage days
in the very early seventies. Your website is amazing as
well.
Keep up the good work!!!!
Best regards,
Tim

is amazing!

Re: Island Book 1962 - 1977
Hi Yuri,
Just a few lines in addition to my previous comments
on your` excellent "Island" book. I can honestly say
that the book has already "paid for itself" as
regards the detailed information it contains about
1st or early pressings-Most notably 2 recent
acquisitions-"John Barleycorn Must Die"-Traffic & "Full
House"-Fairport Convention-E & J Day Group,London &
Bedford-This and other similar seemingly
insignificant details have helped to expand my
admittedly limited knowledge in the field of vinyl
collecting. My good lady partner Helen said to me "My
goodness, you ought to be on Television with your`
vast amounts of knowledge about records" !!!!!
Well, I`m not sure about that, but at least I`m not
boring her with my constant stream of "discoveries"-
After all, who wants to watch TV programmes about
Record Labels? -Although, come to think of it, not
such a bad idea after all-certainly people like
Dennis Blackham,George Peckham & including your`
good self would make entertaining viewing content
for a fairly wide section of viewers.
Anyhow Yuri-If a TV programme is ever made
about Record Labels, you would be the obvious choice
as presenter
Best
Wishes as ever, Dennis

Thanks For The Book
Dear Yuri
Thanks very much for the Island book.
We received it last week.
We have added the book to our collection of
Island records memorabilia in the office.
As you know we are in 22 St Peters Sq - This
was the home of Isalnd records from 1973
until 2002.
Your book is valuable addition to our
collection.
Thanks again,
Steve
Harvest Label 1969 - 1980
Книга действительно
уникальна. Это большое подспорье для любого
коллекционера. Я вообще до этого не встречал
аналогов с таким полным подбором информации
по конкретному лейблу. Просто исчерпывающая
информация. Я думаю, что коллекционеры
винила будут просто счастливы быть
обладателями Вашей книги. Определиться с
изданием и не переплатить большего чем LP
стоит - не этого ли хочет любой любитель
собирания пластинок. Печать на высшем
уровне. Качество сканирования отличное. Есть
некоторые опечатки (и в издании о Harvest их
стало много больше), но это ведь не
фактические ошибки. Да и для такого
титанического труда выполненного одним
человеком - это простительно. Очень хотелось
бы, чтобы серия продолжалась. С нетерпением
жду книгу о Charisma. Огромное Вам спасибо,
Юрий Владимирович.

Dear Yuri,
I have received the book - thank you very
much! Following are my comments - use them
as you see fit.
Very best wishes,
Pete Grendysa
More than a discography, more than a record
dating guide, Yuri Grishin's second volume
in his "Famous British Collectable Record
Labels"series, spotlighting the Harvest
Label, continues the very high standards set
by his Island Records book.
In these pages you will find a dazzling
array of hundreds of photos of labels,
record sleeves, artists, studios, and
designers. Beyond the illustrations is a
complete history of Harvest and associated
labels such as Regal Zonophone, Parlophone,
and Sovereign.
Complete information on all issues,
reissues, and special pressings is provided,
along with a price guide.
No matter which of these records you have in
your collection or are seeking, you will
learn much more about them. Grishin is the
leader in the field of discography, and
there is more to come.

Your volume on the Island label is
already on my bookshelf and I must say that
you did a great job. Your research is
extremely thorough and every serious
collector of classic British records should
have his/her very own copy. I am very keen
on the other volumes you are planning.

Hi Yuri,
I liked the
new book as much as the last although it
was a little different.
I liked the
way it took Harvest in detail but then
expanded over much of the EMI catalogue
too - the Parlophone & Columbia sections
being particularly useful.
Even when
you deal with as many old LPs as we do,
we rarely get the chance to compare
several issues of the same album to each
other at the same time. Your book gives
us the chance to do that and know
exactly which label/sleeve variation we
are dealing with & therefore how to
describe it correctly for our customers.
I think
this will end up being a series that you
can be truly proud of - I appreciate
your hard work compiling them.
All the
best,
Richard

I do admire your titanic efforts
that you've put into gathering all those
fragments of information and arranging such
huge volumes of data!!!
I have first-hand knowledge of how it's hard
sometimes to identify a record! I remember
I've spent so many sleepless nights trying
to do that! When your book appeared in
stores all my questions and problems found
their answers in it! So i can value your
precious work only using superlative degree!
Thank you ever so much! It is perfect,
magnificent!

I like the book very much because
it is so substantial. You have all covers (front
and back!) and all the labels with all the
details shown. Marvellous if you want to
check the record you have or you want to buy.

'Island Records 1962 - 1977' or 'Harvest
Label 1969 - 1980': I've missed such books
since round about 30 years. Now the dream is
true. Thank you, Yuri - and of course all
the other people, who had helped!

This is really fantastic result of
your job ,laborious and detailed- it's hard
to imagine ,how much time required to make
that.I guess , so versalite information
could be interesting not only for serious
record collectors and vinyl traders, but for
all music lovers who still is "sitting on
black circles" and sound engineers , who
don't forget yet about best sound works of
the past. Thanks twice and get luck with
future books!
