11/1978 Motor Records/Pinnacle records UK

7" singles. In the image: Top L is a promo pressing on the Motor label. The other three are all Pinnacle 7" released showing differing covers and centre image on the records.

There is also a U.S.A. export pressing issued solely for the UK market to supply demand. Labels have no country release mentioned but are obviously US pressings and have a small spindle hole centre as opposed to the larger 'press out' type of hole.

The second image is of the back cover to the paper sleeve printed with the 'space head'.

Thanks to Al Hine.

Dr Who by Mankind

11/1978 Motor Records/Pinnacle records UK

7" and 12" singles. Arranged by Mark Stevens and Don Gallacher. Produced by Don Gallacher. B side - Time Traveller (By Mark Stevens). Sleeve of the 12" shows an alien head and features a white slip-band round the sleeve. Reached number 25 in the Radio 1 chart in November 1978 and was in the chart until February 1979 (12 weeks). Sheet music was available from Chappell and Co. The 12" single was released by Motor in blue vinyl, but Pinnacle took over Motor and a sticker was placed over the label on some shipment until proper Pinnacle labels could be supplied (see second image). Shortly after the blue vinyl was released, the record was released in several other colour vinyls as well (green, slik, grey, yellow, red, a different more translucent blue and brown are known). The Pinnacle 12" is known to exist in brown, blue, green, grey, white or yellow vinyl with picture sleeve. There are two different Pinnacle labels both showing four Alpine peaks with the sun behind them. The first is printed black-on-silver and the second in full colour.

Thanks to Al Hine for additional images and information.
