|
Helen Willemse 22nd Oct 2022 | | CD AlbumOriginal Broadway Cast - Dreamgirls | Interesting, German cover and disc in the US?
|
Helen Willemse 21st Oct 2022 | | CD AlbumWhitney Houston - I Look To You | Does this release really have I Look To You as a duet?
|
Helen Willemse 21st Oct 2022 | | CD AlbumWhitney Houston - I'm Your Baby Tonight | Funny how the US, EU, Japanese releases have different versions of track 1.
Wikipedia says: All non-North American countries have the "Yvonne Turner Mix" of "I'm Your Baby Tonight" replacing the L.A. Reid/Babyface original version as track 1.
There is a 4:17 (EU album version) mix and a 5:02 (US album version)
My Jap. release has the 4:17 mix.

Helen Willemse 20th Oct 2022 | | CD AlbumJennifer Holliday - Get Close To My Love | Goldline launched in 1996, our copy is from 1998 (August, 11)
Did some digging on this Goldline, which is a "budget" line.
https://www.discogs.com/label/163922-Geffen-Goldline
LP: Released August 18, 1987
|
Helen Willemse 20th Oct 2022 | | CD AlbumJennifer Holliday - Feel My Soul | Geffen Goldline began in the late 90's if I am correct? According to the info this release would be 1996 or later. Correct me if I am wrong :-)
If I remember well, the LP was released October 1983 and the CD a year later.
|
Helen Willemse 17th Oct 2022 | | CD AlbumBillie Holiday - Lady In Satin | Includes a fold out huge booklet with lyrics in Japanese and English, liner notes etc.
Obi and booklet are a copy of the SACD release and album is of course not a DSD mastering.
|
Helen Willemse 11th Oct 2022 | | CD AlbumElla Fitzgerald - Sings The Harold Arlen Song Book | Well... I was confused a bit because I always looked at the biggest print on the label. Made in USA... smaller print says EU. Innerring took my doubts away. Mods, please forgive the corrections. The USA Cat# starts with 314 and yes I could have checked that right away but I have this floater in my eye that sort of .....s my vision lately. Sorry I kinda panicked!
|
Helen Willemse 8th Oct 2022 | | CD AlbumElla Fitzgerald - Ella Fitzgerald Sings The Irving Berlin Song Book | CD released Germany 23 November 2000 + the Netherlands :-)
|
Helen Willemse 6th Oct 2022 | | CD Album50 Cent - The Massacre | The original title for the album was revealed as The St. Valentine's Day Massacre (titled after the 1929 North Side, Chicago murder spree of its gang) and was arranged to be released on February 15, 2005
|
Helen Willemse 6th Oct 2022 | | CD AlbumThe Fatback Band - 21 Karat Fatback: The Best Of The Fatback Band | I have this one too, however my disc is purple. Everything else is the same.
Will add as variation.
|
Helen Willemse 5th Oct 2022 | | CD AlbumEarth, Wind And Fire - Now, Then And Forever | Cover is made with gold print, the scanner however turns it into something that looks like doomsday wind & fire LOL! Still a very cool cover!
|
Helen Willemse 4th Oct 2022 | | CD AlbumEarth, Wind And Fire - In The Name Of Love | In the Name of Love was produced by EWF's leader Maurice White for Kalimba Productions. Originally the album was released in Japan during 1996 as Avatar (which I will submit later on as Japanese reissue of 2003)
Love is life = a renewed version from the 1970 album Earth, Wind & Fire.
Fill You Up = Feel U Up, same song.
|
Helen Willemse 4th Oct 2022 | | CD AlbumEarth, Wind And Fire - In The Name Of Love | Added more covers
|
Helen Willemse 4th Oct 2022 | | CD AlbumEarth, Wind And Fire - Electric Universe | Same thing on the Obi with the DSD Mastering. It's a marketing thing..
If there is anyone here who can read Japanse, it would be nice if he or she could put the translation in the comments. I wonder what fairy tale they are using to make people buy expensive remasters that are not hahaha!
I worked in a high end audiostore, people... they were making people crazy with these thing and still are. A 62 euro CD.. that sounds like recording a tape in the red, put a term with bits and Khz and they will buy it no matter how it sounds. Admitting it is of course something the audiophile does not do.
|
Helen Willemse 4th Oct 2022 | | CD AlbumEarth, Wind And Fire - Electric Universe | Notice how on almost every version ElectricNation like that but was put as 2 words on the single and 12-inch.
|
Helen Willemse 3rd Oct 2022 | | CD AlbumEarth, Wind And Fire - Faces | Don't be fooled with the DSD Mastering, it's left behind from the SACD releases.
In some Japan releases are the US booklets reused.
DSD is only for SACD, not regular CD's plus you will never hear the difference.
|
Helen Willemse 3rd Oct 2022 | | CD AlbumEarth, Wind And Fire - Powerlight | No barcode. Obi got lost in time.. but I know that there was no barcode on it.
Fall in love with me is slightly different.
|
Helen Willemse 3rd Oct 2022 | | CD AlbumEarth, Wind And Fire - Powerlight | Funky thing about this album is that there are multiple versions of Fall In Love With Me.
LP version was different from CD version. EU version was different from US version.
There was a Special Remix Extended in 1983 5:51 mins. A 5:25 mins and 5:55 mins version.
Love this song, no matter what version, it's one of my favorites!

Helen Willemse 2nd Oct 2022 | | CD AlbumEarth, Wind And Fire - I Am | Thick cardboard gatefold sleeve. To thick to scan the inside without damaging the cover.
|
Helen Willemse 2nd Oct 2022 | | CD AlbumEarth, Wind And Fire - Last Days And Time | Composer is not EWF on every track. Link follows.
Track 3 is a cover from the group "Bread" written by David Gates to just name one.
The composers are on the label of your disc..
They did not list the interludes as tracks.

Helen Willemse 1st Oct 2022 | | CD AlbumEarth, Wind And Fire - I Am | This one is also from 1986 if I am not mistaken. I had all these releases back then. A few were released at the same time, same year as The Final from Wham! I remember getting them all together. Shopping spree LOL!
Same numbers and typical 80's label. I wish I had photographic memory ..

Helen Willemse 1st Oct 2022 | | CD AlbumEarth, Wind And Fire - Gratitude | In the 80's it often happened that CD's were pressed in Japan for the rest of the world. The capacity in Europe, UK and USA at the time was small for the pressing manufacturers. If I am correct this version has "Printed In Holland" on the covers somewhere? If so, it was released in 1986.
I used to have it, lost it (stolen) and bought it later again.

|
Helen Willemse 23rd Sep 2022 | | CD AlbumVarious Artists - New Jack Swing Mastercuts Volume 2 | My Perogative is the 8 minute 12" version, not a radio edit. That is a little misprint on the back cover, see the track in the booklet. I have the same CD (up for sale at the moment) and checked :-)
