Happy Snaps

Discogs reduces the quality of submitted images by an incredible amount, they're still presentable but in no way hi-res, so no one will be able to use them to make bootlegs. They will however look decent on a screen and be accurate for the listing.

That is so true. Any bootleg labels printed using Discogs reduced resolution scans would be blurry and easily recognised as fake. But on screen they are fine if the original upload was high quality. This is a win/win for collectors AND "younger generations" or anyone who wants to do research online. And we 90 year old G45 fiends (who actually care enough about these things to be bothered participating) get to enjoy the glorious high resolution eye candy.

So are you OK with the photos ending up on Discogs in lo-res? I would applaud that. A record like Just Too Much would for example benefit from it, especially with the fake "scan" having been so widely distributed.
 
Some random label photo files were loaded into the "S" folder by mistake. I have deleted them. There are 1,489 files left in the "S" folder, and the others are now in the "Updates rr" folder where they belong.

Fantastic job Daniel. Thank you very much for taking on the gargantuan letter "S". Here are answers to your questions:

* flipside of Second Time - “Listen to the music” is missing
Same song both sides on my copy

* Is zIMG_3429.jpg the flipside of The HP Movement?
yes

* Please confirm: Shacklefords - The Unloved / The Unloved
my copy has the same label both sides. Pressing fault

* flipside of Dunwich D-141 Shadows of Knight - “I’ll make you sorry” is missing
"I'm Gonna Make You Mine" - my mistake, uploaded the flipside twice. I'll add this to the Updates folder

* flipside of GNP Crescendo 370 (stock) Seeds - “The other place” is missing
It is "Try To understand", same as the flipside of Pushin' Too Hard. But since it has a different number, I'll upload it.

* flipside of GNP Crescendo 383 (cursive) Seeds - “Up in her room” is missing
It's "Mr Farmer", the same as the flipside of "No Escape"

* flipside of Snowmen - “Tubby Tina” is missing
"Garbage Man" - I'll upload it into the Updates folder

* flipside of White Whale 256 Smokestack Lightnin - “Got a good love” is missing
"Look What You've Done" - I'll upload it into the Updates folder

* flipside of Sonics - “Any way the wind blows” (Uni) is missing
Promo copy has the same song both sides

* flipside of Standells - “Dirty water” (promo) is missing
Promo copy has the same song both side

* please confirm: Sounds of Randall - Wasting my time / Wasting my time
Same song and label on both sides, apparently on all copies.
 
Hi Mark! Sorry, I wasn't aware that the Q's and R's were ready for renaming. I will start this weekend. Did someone else do the O's?

There is no hurry Bård. There's still a long way to go until the end, so anytime is cool. I have slowed down because I am cleaning many of the records before photographing them, and it's taking twice as long. The label project also inspired me to start collecting again, after 2 years of buying almost nothing. In the last 4 weeks I have bought more 45s than I bought in the previous 2 years. Mostly lesser grade items, average 4 on the garage-o-meter, but still a lot of fun. Also quite time consuming to locate the missing items. I'm buying a lot from Craig Moerer because he has great stock on some of the mid range / low end items. Also Barry always turns up some under-the-radar obscurities that are worthwhile. Being in Australia, it's a lot better to buy as many as possible from one or two dealers and combine them into one package, because the postage for one 45 from the USA is average $17.50, sometimes $27.50 for a single 45! Sometimes that is 4 times what the record is worth.
 
Ta-Da! I just uploaded the XYZ folder, and a whole slew of updates (in the Updates rr folder). At this point I have photographed and uploaded both sides of every USA 60s garage 45 that I own. Turns out there are approximately 12,600 photos which means 6,300 USA '60s garage 45s plus around 250 Canadian I imagine. 99.9% of the USA 45s are TBM-listed. Funny, it feels like I've collected more than that over the years! Once you get past 4,000 it gets hard...There will be more updates over the next few weeks and months as more 45s arrive. I'll post here whenever I upload any updates.
Next I will do Canada which I have already started. My Canadian collection is roughly the same size as a medium-size letter of the USA, much smaller than USA "B", "C" or "S". Maybe around the same size as "G". So it won't be long before the Canadian folder is uploaded - maybe 3 or 4 days if all goes well. After that, I will press on with the Australian 45s, which is a much bigger job. Roughly similar to the USA letter "S" in size.
 
Great work Mark! Truly great! Now we just have to wait for your indentured workforce to catch up...
Thanks Daniel I have every confidence in the diligence of the G45 taskforce. I know for example that the letter "T" is well underway via AZ54, who has also taken on X,Y and Z. "U" and "V" are already completed thanks to Captain Bronstein. I may have slipped up and forgotten to allocate "W". In that case I will take it on myself. Canada has not been allocated.
