Incorrect credits on disc 6 (Don't Panic), reprinted from the 12" version (Don't Panic): both vinyl and sleeve credits mark that side A contains two tracks ("Don't Panic" and "You Only Live Twice (Live From Norway)") and side B contains "Bigger Stronger (Live From Norway)". However there's no A2 on this 7-inch, and side B contains "You Only Live Twice (Live From Norway)".

Disc 8 (The Scientist) is marked 45 rpm on the side A label and 33 1/3 rpm on the side B label, but in fact both sides play at 33 1/3 rpm.

Disc 9 (Clocks) is marked 33 1/3 rpm on both labels, but both sides play at 45 rpm.

Incorrect credits on discs 14 (What If) and 15 (The Hardest Part): in both cases, the inner sleeves entirely duplicate the credits from disc 12 (Fix You) in error, referring to a non-existent "edit" on the A-side and a B-side that was recorded at Parr Street Studios, Liverpool, and Air Studios, London, even though both discs in fact feature B-sides recorded at live shows. As a result, the Tom Lord-Alge remix of What If on side AA is uncredited.

Sides E to T are labelled as "A" and "B" on each respective disc. Sides U to AD are labelled as "X" and "Y" on each respective disc, in keeping with the various labelling conventions of the original singles.

Discs with stamped runouts and no GZ credit pressed at Portal Space, identified by format, font and spacing of matrix numbers, and by the letters "PS" on disc 8 (The Scientist). Variant 1 of discs 4 (Yellow), 6 (Don't Panic), 12 (Fix You) and 13 (Talk) pressed at GZ, identified by format of code stamped in runouts.

Discs 8 (The Scientist), 9 (Clocks), 11 (Speed Of Sound) and 12 (Fix You) appear to have been pressed using the metalwork from the original 7-inch single releases in 2002, 2003 and 2005.

OUR STORY:

This store was established in honor of John A. Foley, a man who dedicated his life and career to the nonprofit community in Palm Beach County. In more than two decades of practicing law, John Foley fought for the rights of people with AIDS/HIV, fought for victims of wage theft, and was a mentor to young attorneys. In 1997, John received the Legal Aid Society's Human Rights Advocacy Award for his work representing a person living with HIV who was wrongfully denied health insurance. He also helped establish the Nonprofit Legal Assistance Project, providing legal assistance to more than 60 nonprofits in Florida. 

He was an avid music collector who taught himself to play the guitar and the keyboard. Some of his favorite artists were Elton John and Elvis Costello. In August 2019, John was diagnosed with glioblastoma, a cancer of the brain. Following his diagnosis, he had discussed using his music collection to raise money for medical research at St. Jude Children's Hospital. Unfortunately, his project, Records and Tapes for Hope, was delayed due to the pandemic. He valiantly fought his disease for 18 months before passing away at the age of 60 on February 17th, 2021. 

This store has been the culmination of many loving friends and family. We're here to help bring his vision to life which was to turn his collection and his love for music into something positive to fight against cancer. All proceeds from the sales on this site will be donated to St Jude Children's Hospital. 

Thank you for your shared love of music!
