Apollo59 21st Apr 2017		CD Album Bob Dylan - The Bootleg Series Vol. 7: No Direction Home: The Soundtrack (A Martin Scorsese Picture)	Just 2 owns? Astonishing!
Apollo59 20th Apr 2017		CD Album Nick Cave And The Bad Seeds - Push The Sky Away	I think the "under exclusive license to Kobalt Label Services" answers one question. Bad Seed Ltd. is a publishing company and not necessarily a Record Label as such - at least in this instance, at this stage of Cave's re-juggling of his business affairs. Just because the book is printed in Mexico does not automatically mean it's a US release. Were the book printed in China instead (also cheap place for printing) would that make it Chinese? If you possess or know of a US version with the very same cat# and barcode, speak up. If not, take my word for it - I had to pre-order in UK due to the limited run quantity manufactured. These weren't sitting on supermarket shelves.
Apollo59 20th Apr 2017		CD Album Buffalo Springfield - Box Set	I guess you missed my remark that I also had owned the 2001 version. Hence, why I could play like for like, back to back. I thought that I had explained that well enough. Actually it wasn't Discogs (yes, I know there's countless errors) that first brought my attention, but Spincds.com in Newcastle, who run an excellent sales site, giving generous information of pre-releases, and this was a point of fact that was made at the time of the 2nd issue - hence my initial interest and bought one from them. Frankly, and I'm being absolutely honest here, I couldn't give a monkey's uncle. This box set is so low down on the totem pole of my extensive collection of all things box-sets, it might have been played 3 times at most. Most of the tracks are fairly dire, amateurish and musically inept. I could have compiled one decent full length CD from the lot of it. Never would I consider BS to be a "classic" band. I'll take The Byrds and The Doors any day, even CSN&Y with the dreadful Nash-slush. Neither have I ever been the least bit interested in 'packaging' - a nice large booklet does not make for a better record. I knew countless people who were into all that via my shop, buying records because they liked the cover. Seriously? I haven't got near to Neil Young as yet as I'm still labouring over Dylan entries circa 1964, with several thousand to do. However, I will make a point of thoroughly checking over my Neil collection as I own every CD he's ever released and all of which were bought at point of release. Of course, there are some that have been reissued and I will have disposed of the older versions long ago. You want HDCD, I'll make sure you get HDCD with tinsel on the top. But you're living in the past - the future's Blu-ray Audio and Blue-spec CD2. Get with the programme man!

Apollo59 20th Apr 2017		CD Album The Doors - Alive She Cried	Is the US issue listed?
Apollo59 19th Apr 2017		CD Album The Doors - Alive She Cried	Made in Germany version lists the cat# as 960 269-2
Apollo59 19th Apr 2017		CD Album Buffalo Springfield - Box Set	The Steve Hoffman forums - OK, if you like mindless chatter. See Discogs with a substantial breakdown of contents and clarifying that the 2001 US was and the Euro was not. Suffice to say, digital technology advanced somewhat in those ensuing years and certainly the reason why Neil Young declined from releasing his own archives box back then, despite it being ready prepared, because he wasn't happy with the technology at that point in time. Other than that, I'll have to take your word as I no longer own the 2001 box as I sold it on because it didn't sound as good compared to the 2013 version. A luxury afforded me only because I co-owned a record shop. I'd also say that if you hold firm beliefs that because "this was just a budget, repackaged version of the box" that this automatically means that it is by nature a lesser entity, I'd say the corporate music business hold you exactly where they want you to be - with your money in their pocket.
Apollo59 19th Apr 2017		CD Album The Doors - The Doors	Plus the fact that the entire recording runs too slow and wasn't corrected until 2007
Apollo59 19th Apr 2017		CD Album Buffalo Springfield - Box Set	You'll find what I've said elsewhere if you care to look. Other than that, please discuss with Atlantic.
Apollo59 19th Apr 2017		CD Album The Doobie Brothers - Listen To The Music The Very Best Of The Doobie Brothers	Alenko: You ask what is the point? Are you serious? Why don't you take a closer look at the catalogue number and the bar code. Then you will understand the point. I guess this is what happens when you listen to Olivia Newton John. I shouldn't laugh.
Apollo59 19th Apr 2017		CD Album The Doobie Brothers - Listen To The Music The Very Best Of The Doobie Brothers	Also issued in Europe, made in Germany Cat #: 9548-31094-2 Barcode: 095483109425 CD is fawn coloured with brown text
Apollo59 19th Apr 2017		CD Album Buffalo Springfield - Box Set	Well I suppose it depends where you live or which version you bought back then, but the UK version was just standard CD and NOT HDCD, which appeared to be exclusive to the US, for some reason. Hence, why I bought it again and what a difference.
Apollo59 19th Apr 2017		CD Album Sandy Denny - Rendezvous (Deluxe Edition)	Superior sound quality to the 2005 Remaster

Apollo59 18th Apr 2017		CD Album Deep Purple - On The Wings Of A Russian Foxbat	Track 7 mistitled, should be Homeward Strut
Apollo59 18th Apr 2017		CD Album Ivor Cutler - Velvet Donkey	looks like they had a donkey on the typing pool team
Apollo59 18th Apr 2017		CD Album The Cure - Disintegration	gregs78s: And not before time. I suppose the US were too far ingratiated with Depeche Mode and U2 to realise what they were missing out on for 10 years.
Apollo59 17th Apr 2017		CD Album David Crosby - Oh Yes I Can	Also Made and Printed in USA version, same cat# & barcode
Apollo59 17th Apr 2017		CD Album Grinderman - Grinderman	philwill: I gathered that, but certainly not all discs have that stamped on them and it may or not have been helpful to the member making inquiry.
Apollo59 16th Apr 2017		CD Album Gene Clark - Gene Clark	a.k.a. White Light
Apollo59 16th Apr 2017		CD Album Eric Clapton - Back Home	is it so difficult to copy the cat# as read on the disc?
Apollo59 16th Apr 2017		CD Album Eric Clapton - Reptile	HDCD
Apollo59 15th Apr 2017		CD Album Grinderman - Grinderman	Hi Lee Wrecker: My copy cover sticker doesn't have any cat#, just the names of 4 band members and 'Ferociously exciting debut album' - Observer Music Monthly. Other than that all cat# and barcode as seen. I added another sub cat# which is printed on the rim of the disc, LC05834 I wouldn't rely too heavily on Discogs accuracy, nor enter discs that I didn't actually own!
Apollo59 15th Apr 2017		CD Album Eric Clapton - The Unsurpassed Clapton, Vol. 2	Tracks 9 & 10 also featuring Keith Moon
Apollo59 15th Apr 2017		CD Album Eric Clapton - Bright Lights Blues City	Madison Square Garden, 13th July 1974
