9299 252 Ian Matthews Journeys From Gospel Oak
No, this LP most certainly does not belong on Charisma, but this Dutch issue has a Mad Hatter label! The cover carries a Mooncrest logo and indicates the catalog number of CREST 18, but the number listed to the left appears on the label. 1974 Holland Y

SFX 10061 Genesis The Story of Genesis
Beautifully packaged Japan-only compilation 1978 Japan Y

GRT 100 Genesis Rock Theatre
Originally a 1974 German compilation on the Fontana label, this 1985 Italian reissue is the only Charisma edition I've ever seen. 1985 Italy Y

CA-1-1062 Genesis Nursery Cryme 198? Canada Y

CA-1-1063 Genesis Foxtrot 198? Canada Y

CA-1-1501 Genesis Genesis Live
Above three titles are all Canadian reissues, and the blue labels date them as being of 80s vintage, though the former two both have the original gatefold sleeves. Perhaps they correspond to the UK budget reissues in the CHC series. 198? Canada N

German-only compilation 1977? Germany Y

6321 118 Lindisfarne Rock Legends: Lindisfarne Live

6302 100 Bill Lovelady Cheer Up
Lovelady's LP appears to have never been released in the UK, but did come out at least in Holland and Norway! His single "One More Reggae For The Road," a flop in the UK, was a giant hit in Norway. 1980 Holland Y
