Magic Marmalade 24th Jan 2021		12" Single Leib And Seele - Kreuzberglied (1981)	It's been three years since these were submitted, and the original contributor has not been active since, so perhaps time to move them regardless?
Magic Marmalade 24th Jan 2021		12" Single Various Artists - Italo Remix Vol. 3 (1985)	Can I get an opinion on this one, as it seems a little unclear as to artist according to labels... ... Only the third track on side 1 seems to have a defined artist: Cruisin' Gang featuring Laura Fadinger, and side 2, whilst having no separate artist listings under any of the tracks, seems to be generally defined by the artist at the top of the label: Cyber People and Koto (Should this artist be listed for each track on side 2?).. or is the whole thing better left as Various Artists?
Magic Marmalade 22nd Jan 2021		12" Single Leib And Seele - Kreuzberglied (1981)	So is this a 7" single or 12"?
Magic Marmalade 9th Jan 2021		12" Single Robert French / Grand Puba And Jeff Redd - Cry No More (Radio Mix) (1996)	All VP Records label releases have now been made simply: VP, and are now included in that label discography.
Magic Marmalade 31st Dec 2020		12" Single Marcia Griffiths - Something Inside So Strong (1987)	Anyone know if Charmers Reggae group, Charmers Dub (Variations), and The Charmers, ought to be listed together? (Anything to do with Lloyd Charmers (Chalmers)?)
Magic Marmalade 28th Dec 2020		12" Single Age Of Chance - Kiss (1986)	Yes, that's the thing Mr H, thanks. (And thanks to fellow mod who covered for my laziness :)
Magic Marmalade 28th Dec 2020		12" Single Age Of Chance - Kiss (1986)	If anyone is in the mood to image edit, could they give the lead image a turn 90 degrees right, consistent with other issues. Thanks in advance :) (Mod. comment: done)
Magic Marmalade 26th Dec 2020		12" Single Madness - One Better Day (1984)	Okee Mc-Dokey :)
Magic Marmalade 24th Dec 2020		12" Single Frankie Paul - Slow Down	Tied up Frankie Paul artist variations in his discography.
Magic Marmalade 24th Dec 2020		12" Single Madness - One Better Day (1984)	I notice your copy is a promo (stamped on labels)... was the stock copy the same details wise, and should I therefore change this to promo, or leave it?
Magic Marmalade 21st Dec 2020		12" Single Al Campbell - Like You Girl (1979)	Ah, Thanks for that Judge! ...Figured I'd probably need to look out for a Lee Van Cleef too... and sure enough! I'll come back to Al Campbell discography and tie it all together soon.
Magic Marmalade 19th Dec 2020		12" Single Al Campbell - Like You Girl (1979)	Do we have more than one Al Campbell here? One seems to be reggae... but with Clint Eastwood !?!???
Magic Marmalade 15th Dec 2020		12" Single The Madness - I Pronounce You (1988)	Sorry for the delay on this one. The Madness has now been incorporated into Madness discography, and a link to there from The Madness :)
Magic Marmalade 12th Dec 2020		12" Single The Madness - I Pronounce You (1988)	This group anything to do with Madness (Suggs & Co.)?
Magic Marmalade 17th Nov 2020		12" Single Oasis - Falling Down (2008)	Is this a promo?
Magic Marmalade 31st Aug 2020		12" Single Natasha - Iko Iko (1982)	Review Don't be fooled by appearances here... ...Looks like a pretty standard 80s bimb-exploitation disc, like many a young poplet of the time might be coerced / "nudged" into producing - on the face of it, the pictures look like those "Top Of The Pops" albums which have become now, strangely collectible.... ... but actually, once you play this disc, there are more than a couple of surprises in store... ...Firstly, not knowing what this was, and only buying because: a) it was cheap, and: b) it was a picture disc (I'm strangely ompelled to buy them if I see them, no matter what it might be), ...I had no idea it was a very famous version of a very famous song, which has quite a history in and of itself: Iko Iko (Wikipedia)> "Oooh... I know that one!" :) And so, also realising that this was not some (to me) obscure German starlet, but a Scottish pop star of some little renown, I also, through listening to these other tracks here, realised she has actually a fair talent for writing songs too! ... But this leads to the major surpise: This disc sounds incredible! My innate distrust of any vinyl other than straight up black vinyl has been blown out of the water by this... (Usually, I don't buy coloured vinyl of pic discs for sound quality - "If it ain't black, it stays in the rack!" :) ... Albeit the songs themselves won't reinvent the wheel, with what they are, the production team has made them sound amazing... This is seriously good production and pressing, proper audiophile stuff! Just goes to show, it's worth taking a punt every now and then. (Makes up for all the times I've got burned buying an unknown disc on spec :) [YouTube Video] [YouTube Video] 3 people found this review helpful. ✔︎ Helpful Review?
Magic Marmalade 16th Apr 2020		12" Single Rush - Closer To The Heart (1978)	I have the disc like pinemonkey's scans, which is an early misprinted label correction: The Silver (light coloured box) next to"45" on the label is there to cover up: "33 1/3", which actually shows through... and the "45" rather unceremoniously slapped on the label next to it. Hawkmarty's scans show the (properly) corrected labels.
Magic Marmalade 17th May 2017		12" Single Go Mental - Eternal Flame (1996)	A tune you can hum! :)
Magic Marmalade 15th May 2017		12" Single The Jacksons - Blame It On The Boogie (1978)	added in notes: "The Jacksons featuring Michael Jackson" so it shows up in a Michael Jackson search.
Magic Marmalade 14th May 2017		12" Single Cliff Richard - I Just Don't Have The Heart (1989)	This looks the same as the linked release T. o. D... (same cat# on disc).
Magic Marmalade 14th May 2017		12" Single Go Mental - Eternal Flame (1996)	So Go Mental are both artist AND label? ...And makes this: (Artist) Go Mental: (Title) Eternal Flame - Go Mental 4?
Magic Marmalade 14th May 2017		12" Single You've Got Foetus On Your Breath - Wash It All Off (1985)	Will do. (mental note made of any further variations that may appear in future :)
Magic Marmalade 14th May 2017		12" Single You've Got Foetus On Your Breath - Wash It All Off (1985)	Suspecting that this might be the artist: Foetus (not all the extra wording in the artist name given), I searched for them... ...but like this one, each of them seems to be under an extended version of this name. Although those entering them are technically correct by following label / sleeve artist names, should the artist simply be Foetus, on all records?
Magic Marmalade 13th May 2017		12" Single Eric Clapton - Bad Love (1989)	"W" missing from start of catalogue number?
Magic Marmalade 13th May 2017		12" Single Go Mental - Eternal Flame (1996)	Is the artist / title the right way round on this? (Seems to be: Go Mental 4, by Eternal Flame)
Magic Marmalade 12th May 2017		12" Single Billy Squier - Love Is The Hero (Intro With Freddie Mercury) (1986)	tarkl!... could you post a comment here about your other promo impressed cover, so others can discuss whether it ought to be a separate French entry, or an export, or scans should be added here.
Magic Marmalade 11th May 2017		12" Single Yazoo - Situation (1982)	This may also have been released with the alternative band name: Yaz. (Even with same cat etc.)
Magic Marmalade 10th May 2017		12" Single Yazoo - Only You (Extended Version) (1982)	Have added: (Extended Version) to both sides (just parenthesis on side 1), but will reconsider this if a label is uploaded without it, as per RadNotions comment. (Although if two people who have copies with each can give times, and verify that the same version is on all copies, regardless of labels, then track will be edited to reflect this :)
Magic Marmalade 18th Feb 2017		12" Single Bruce Springsteen - Tougher Than The Rest (1988)	Yes, in hindsight, denim is not the best choice of material for underwear... (The rivets - ouch!) ...I shall switch to velvet ones immediately :)
Magic Marmalade 17th Feb 2017		12" Single Bruce Springsteen - Tougher Than The Rest (1988)	I don't, as a rule, like the shouty stadium rawk variety of Spingsteenery... it makes me want to burn all my denim. ...but away from all the "big" stuff, when he does more mournful and poignant stuff like this, I think he is genuinely great - we like you miserable boss!... stay that way :) - And this really is good... and it is actually even better in the live version on the B side.... the extra space and atmosphere lends itself to the misery and self pity which is what's good about it.
