New album additions by PA members

^ Lol! Thanks Greg! 

^ Lol! I haven't added any wax cylinders, but I have accidentally added 'Billy Boy' again.  The 'submittitle' page had been open in my browser for a few hours, and when I clicked the "Add more albums from this band now" so that I could add the 'Old King Coal' cassette release, the page said that it needed to be refreshed before I was able to proceed further. I did this, and duly added the 'Old King Coal' release, but when I checked to see that the addition had gone okay, I was horrified to find that another entry for 'Billy Boy' had appeared there as well.  When I refreshed the page it must have re-sent the info I had typed in for the previous addition I'd made. It seems I'm not very good at this album addition lark lol! Every one I've done so far has gone wrong in some way or other!

^ Thanks Eugene. Are we allowed to add cassette releases too - such as this one from 1992 - all profits from which went to the aid of the communities affected by the closure of the pits in the area around the band's home town of Stoke-on-Trent back in the early 1990s?

^ Three singles done.

^ Just made those little corrections, thanks. 

Thanks Eugene. I'll have a go at it later tonight. There are also six singles and EPs listed for the band on discogs which we don't have on our site at the moment, so I'll see what I can find about them, and hopefully add those as well. 

^ The 2017 release isn't entirely precise regarding the track running order (the Bomark page for it just says "set list includes"...though it's highly likely that the list of songs will be complete, and in the true running order), and both state "over 100 minutes of film footage" rather than an exact duration, but if you're happy for them to be added with the info that we currently have available, then I'll do it.  If Mac replies to my message then I'll try and get more details from him, but it doesn't look at the moment as though he's going to respond. He's been on facebook earlier this afternoon, but made no attempt to look at my message unfortunately. I'll try an old email address that I have for him if I don't hear anything by the end of the weekend, and hope that it gets redirected to his current one.

^ There is some more confusion on the Internet regarding the track list of the 'Overdose' album too. We have track 5 as "Into the Night", whereas all the streaming platforms (Spotify, Deezer, YouTube Music etc) have it as "Into the Dark". Mind you - those streaming platforms have both track 8 and track 9 listed as "Big Man", whereas they are really "Big Man" (track 8) and "If Ever" (track 9). We currently have the timings of these two tracks reversed. If you listen to them on Spotify or YouTube Music, "Big Man" is Actually the four minute song and "If Ever" is the six minute one. Even though they're both called "Big Man" on these streaming platforms, you can distinguish which one is which by the lyrics. 

^ Yes, that's correct according to everything I've found out so far. If Mac Austin responds to my earlier message about David Edge's contribution to the 'Overdose' album I'll ask him about this debut album as well.

^ There is considerable uncertainty on the Internet regarding the correct release year, as can be seen down in the comments below this upload of the album on YouTube, but RYM have the release as 1979 (issue details - Clay Records / MCF 3102 /). Now MCF 3102 was actually the catalogue number of the LP that was released by MCA Records, but the album was also released on vinyl as 'LP1' by the independent label Clay Records of Stoke-on-Trent, which is the band's home town (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clay_Records and https://www.discogs.com/label/2069-Clay-Records).
