GEMSMFAN 11th Dec 2015		Cinema A Carol Christmas (2003)	A Hallmark movie
GEMSMFAN 9th Dec 2015		Cinema If You Believe (1999)	This was a Lifetime channel movie.
GEMSMFAN 6th Dec 2015		Vinyl Album The Osmonds - Brain Storm	Wasn't this on Polydor / Kolob?
GEMSMFAN 4th Dec 2015		Cinema A Christmas Story (1983)	"Hooo! Hooo! Hooo!, Merry Christmas!" "You'll Shoot Your Eye Out"
GEMSMFAN 3rd Dec 2015		TV The Mary Tyler Moore Show (1970 - 1977)	[YouTube Video]
GEMSMFAN 1st Dec 2015		DVD ...All The Marbles - Warner Home Video	this is a MOD release = manufactured-on-demand (made-to-order)
GEMSMFAN 1st Dec 2015		DVD So Fine - Warner Home Video	this is a MOD release = manufactured-on-demand (made-to-order)
GEMSMFAN 1st Dec 2015		DVD Where The Boys Are - Warner Home Video	it is worth noting that this was pressed as a DVD-R (has a shiny label side and pinkish tint on the playing side). Warner Bros. decided to release a large selection of titles this way, as they were produced in smaller numbers than their ordinary DVD titles. It was actually referred to as "MOD", manufactured-on-demand.
GEMSMFAN 28th Nov 2015		VHS The Beatles Film Collection - Musik & Film Vertrieb	dr.pepper1952: a suggestion, you should add the 3 movie titles using "Add Missing Info" and going to the "Add Extra Title" link. This will link each title, if added individually, with Cinema World
GEMSMFAN 26th Nov 2015		Book Mario Panciera - 45 Revolutions (1976/1979)	Wow, it is available, but quite costly!! Almost 1200 pages... that's got to be heavy too.
GEMSMFAN 22nd Nov 2015		CD Album Various Artists - 1000 Nadelstiche	Review A great collection of tracks, mostly hits from some of the biggest American and British singing stars sung in German!. hence "Amerikaner und Briten singen Deutsch". The title, "1000 Nadelstiche" ("Tausend Nadelstiche", the German version of "Needles and Pins", by The Searchers", and included in this set) was the first in what evolved into several compilation volumes. With all the German recordings that exist, a book by the same title was published. Bear Family, based in Germany does a great job reissuing these tracks and these German versions are quite rare. Most were released in Germany and possibly other German speaking countries (Austria, Switzerland) as 7" 45rpm singles and didn't fare as well on the charts as their English versions. Some didn't chart period. This set, contains an informative booklet, but it is in German, so get out those pocket translators, ah yes (smartphone). Plenty of photos, as well as the German 45 release info. 2 people found this review helpful. ✔︎ Helpful Review?
GEMSMFAN 22nd Nov 2015		CD Album Barbra Streisand - Timeless	added individual disc numbers.
GEMSMFAN 22nd Nov 2015		CD Album Various Artists - The Soul Train Christmas Starfest Album	not a U.S. release... check Europe list as the catalog numbers there use six numbers space followed by a "2".. U.S. CD used prefix "EK" or "EGK" followed by only a five digit number, and no "2"
GEMSMFAN 21st Nov 2015		CD Album Christopher Cross - Christopher Cross	I added 4 images.. both those copies weren't released in 1989. the West German PolyGram pressed Target issue, as well as the Sanyo Japanese pressed issue were released in 1983-5. Later copies were pressed in the U.S. by WEA Manufacturing Inc.
GEMSMFAN 21st Nov 2015		CD Album Christopher Cross - Christopher Cross	.
GEMSMFAN 21st Nov 2015		CD Album Various Artists - 1000 Nadelstiche	the booklet has incorrect information (text and photo) Track 2 is printed as being: Barry Ryan "Sanctus Sanctus Halleluja" with "Ryan-Frances" as Composers
GEMSMFAN 18th Nov 2015		Book Pat Downey - Top 40 Music On Compact Disc 1955-1994	Review A quite informative book for someone trying to track a song and a U.S. compact disc to which that song was included. Timings are presented mentioning "edited versions" or "special versions" OR whether the track was a "mono" or "stereo" mix. Sometimes special edits were substituted on the compact disc version of a particular album. Sometimes "best of" compilations were released and yet they weren't the "original" recordings and this book includes mentioning these, if known. This book is especially helpful in finding those odd tracks, many of which only were available on possibly only one exclusive compilation disc. Included are speciality comps from Time-Life such as the "Sounds of the Seventies" series and from the Special Products divisions of some of the major labels. To sum it up, this book in no way is a "complete listing" of the years included, as there were hundreds of CD's released and such a listing would require several volumes, but it is a great reference and time saver for someone wanting to track down their favorite tunes on CD. 3 people found this review helpful. ✔︎ Helpful Review?
GEMSMFAN 18th Nov 2015		DVD The Temptations ‎– Get Ready. Definitive Performances 1965-1972 - Hip-O	Most music DVD's don't have Region codes, but this should be Region Code 1 look at back of DVD case image.. shows a "1" in an oval. not multi-region
GEMSMFAN 18th Nov 2015		Cinema Serendipity (2001)	Serendipity was the name of the New York cafe... John Cusack was "Jonathan Trager"
GEMSMFAN 16th Nov 2015		CD Album Dire Straits - Dire Straits	2 early U.S. "Target design" pressings pressed in Japan by Sanyo (with clear center ring) pressed in West Germany by PolyGram (metallic reflective over complete disc)
GEMSMFAN 15th Nov 2015		CD Album The Cars - Heartbeat City	U.S. release, West German pressed note U.S. Elektra address on back inlay bottom remember where it was pressed isn't necessarily where it was released the GEMA right societies can easily confuse. note also there is NO capsule-shaped Label Code number printed anywhere.. it is a U.S. release another thing NO Europe: catalog number anywhere.. that is usually printed on the spines.
GEMSMFAN 11th Nov 2015		CD Album Heintje - Die Stimme Für Millionen	Label is Ariola Express, not Ariola
GEMSMFAN 8th Nov 2015		CD Album Jan And Dean - All The Hits: From Surf City To Drag City	Columbia House club issue
GEMSMFAN 7th Nov 2015		Book Dave Thompson - Goldmine Standard Catalog Of American Records	I've got the 7th Edition by Martin Popoff and mine covered more years, 1948-1991... With each later edition, less years will be covered due to more information and page limitations. Some of the values are hilarious. It's only worth an amount, if there is someone out there willing to pay that.
GEMSMFAN 7th Nov 2015		Book Leif Schulman - ABBA In America	Number 1000!
GEMSMFAN 6th Nov 2015		CD Album Eric Clapton - Backtrackin'	There are tracks from Derek & the Dominos, Blind Faith and Cream here, while everything was submitted as "Eric Clapton"
GEMSMFAN 3rd Nov 2015		CD Album Art Garfunkel - Across America	aren't some of these tracks actually "Simon & Garfunkel"? or are they new solo versions? looking at the printed info.. the label actually looks like "Peoplesound" "The Mail On Sunday" is simply the logo of the paper.
GEMSMFAN 2nd Nov 2015		DVD Hullabaloo Volumes 1-4: A 1960s Music Flashback - MPI Home Video	Originally broacasted over the U.S. NBC-TV network nationwide. NBC was the innovator on the latest technology, so in 1965, while the other 2 major networks were still broadcasting in black & white, they had color and this show was in color. Unfortunately, NBC whenever destroyed most of the original color tapes. What these DVD's and VHS tapes contain are black & white kinescopes. At the time, many programs were "live" or taped and shown once and unless there was some intent of repeating them, they were destroyed. Music programs especially, since they weren't considered important and worth archiving.
GEMSMFAN 31st Oct 2015		CD Album The Chipmunks With David Seville - Christmas With The Chipmunks Vol. 2	I notice the bar code sticker... the original bar code underneath probably resembles the catalog number... it usually begins with 07777
GEMSMFAN 29th Oct 2015		CD Album Connie Francis - The Very Best Of Connie Francis	this is a U.S. release.. while the disc was pressed in West Germany and even has the label code... the paperwork indicates U.S. this is a common release (U.S.), where the disc was pressed abroad, but packaged for the U.S. early U.S. releases had discs pressed in Germany or Japan.
