Quad5point1 8th Feb 2021		Cinema Donald Gets Drafted (1942)	Review Donald Fauntleroy Duck gets his draft notice and goes in, past all the amazingly enticing recruiting posters, to sign up. First he has to pass the physical. Despite his flat feet, he makes it. Donald wants to fly, but first he has to make it through Sergeant Pete's boot camp. He has a terrible time with close-order drills, and standing at attention without moving when he's over an ant-hill proves a real challenge. Eventually, Donald ends up on endless KP. 6 people found this review helpful. ✔︎ Helpful Review?
Quad5point1 7th Feb 2021		TV Bletchley Park- Code-breaking's Forgotten Genius (2015)	Review Gordon Welchman was one of the original elite codebreakers crucial to the allies defeating the Nazis in World War II. He is the forgotten genius of Bletchley Park. Filmed extensively at Bletchley Park, the centre for codebreaking operations during World War II, this documentary features the abandoned buildings where thousands of people worked tirelessly trying to crack the codes; Hut 6, where Welchman pioneered his groundbreaking work; and the machines that Welchman helped design. Post-war, Welchman moved to the United States to be at the nerve centre of the computer revolution. He was employed by the Mitre Corporation, a US defence contractor, and engaged in top secret work. Recently released top secret documents reveal that the case of Gordon Welchman reached the desk of the British prime minister, Margaret Thatcher, which then led to questions being asked in the House of Commons after Welchman's death. Welchman's legacy continues to this day as Professor John Naughton and former CIA analyst Cynthia Storer reveal how Welchman's pioneering work in the field of traffic analysis led directly to the modern secret surveillance state, and particularly the use of metadata - as revealed by whistleblower Edward Snowden. 8 people found this review helpful. ✔︎ Helpful Review?
Quad5point1 7th Feb 2021		TV Mandy (2020)	Diane Morgan makes some of the funniest things on television at the moment. Cunk on Britain was just brilliant and Mandy is just as funny. Highly recommended
Quad5point1 5th Feb 2021		CD Album Simon And Garfunkel - The Concert In Central Park	The Music Master Labels Catalogue 10th Edition has CDGEF 85577 being released in May 1988, haven't found reference to CDGEF 88575 yet
Quad5point1 29th Jan 2021		CD Album Jon Anderson - Olias Of Sunhillow	Review Esoteric Recordings is proud to announce the release of a new expanded and re-mastered 2 disc edition of the classic debut solo album by YES vocalist JON ANDERSON, “Olias of Sunhillow”. Released in July 1976, the album was a conceptual work recounting the story of an alien race on a journey to find a new world following volcanic destruction on their home planet. All music on the album was written and performed by Jon Anderson and the recording took place at Anderson’s Buckinghamshire home studio whilst Yes were on hiatus following the tour to promote the album “Relayer”. Initially recorded on an 8-track tape machine, the arrangements were then re-recorded on to a 24-track tape machine. The album saw Jon perform the music entirely alone, teaching himself to play keyboards and acknowledging the influence of such legendary musicians as Rick Wakeman, Patrick Moraz and Vangelis on his work. Indeed, it was even rumoured Vangelis performed on the album, something the maestro would deny in interviews. “Olias of Sunhillow” was released by Atlantic Records in the summer of 1976 in an elaborate gatefold sleeve designed by David Fairbrother-Roe and was a top ten album in the UK. This Esoteric Recordings edition has been newly remastered from the original album master tapes and fully restores the stunning original artwork and also features a booklet with a new essay and exclusive interview with Jon Anderson. Over the ensuing years the excellence of the album has led to many calls for the album to be remixed in a 5.1 Surround Sound format. Alas, despite extensive research, the multi-track masters of the album cannot be found. However, this expanded edition of “Olias of Sunhillow” features a DVD featuring a high resolution 96 kHz / 24-bit re-master of the stereo mix and also includes a high resolution 5.1 Surround Sound up-mix derived from the original stereo master tapes as an additional feature.

Quad5point1 25th Jan 2021		CD Album Various Artists - The Brit Awards 2006. The Music Event Of The Year	I would have to dig it out again but I think the slipcase has the "DUALDISC" lettering and logo printed on it.
Quad5point1 25th Jan 2021		Vinyl Album Head Machine - Orgasm	It still doesn't make it sound any better
Quad5point1 25th Jan 2021		Vinyl Album Head Machine - Orgasm	I thought it was just me, but I bought this back when it was released and thought it was a dreadful album. It went to a 2nd hand shop in 1971 along with other awful albums when I needed money for alcohol to go to a party. I just don't get why it goes for so much money, certainly not for the musical content as that is negligible. I think a lot of it has to do with the title and the cover looking like a Vertigo swirl. Total rubbish

Quad5point1 22nd Jan 2021		CD Album Various Artists - Fresh From Apple Records	Is this a bootleg or is the barcode wrong. Whenever you search the barcode it brings up The Beatles Blue Album 67/70?
Quad5point1 19th Jan 2021		Cinema All The President's Men (1976)	Nod to Dr Doom, Added the proper title screen from the movie
Quad5point1 19th Jan 2021		Cinema Ghost (1990)	Added Title Screen from the Blu-Ray
Quad5point1 14th Jan 2021		CD Album Anthony Phillips - The Geese And The Ghost	@robozuc many thanks, that looks a lot better :-))
Quad5point1 14th Jan 2021		CD Album Anthony Phillips - The Geese And The Ghost	After entering this yesterday there were quite a few sub numbers in brackets listed as (ii) (iii) etc which ended up as (Ii) Iii) etc after submission. Is there anyway of getting the system to ignore the first i inside the brackets instead of capitilising it. Just doesn't look right.
Quad5point1 12th Jan 2021		TV Detectorists (2014 - Now)	Just found THIS and it looks like we might be on for another series :-))
Quad5point1 11th Jan 2021		CD Album Various Artists - Mojo Presents There Is A Light That Never Goes Out	What's the connection between David Bradley from the film Kes and this CD?, assuming of course that it's his picture on the cover.
Quad5point1 8th Jan 2021		CD Album The Moody Blues - In Search Of The Lost Chord	Apparently the original Multi-Track master went walkies and has never been found. I find that very difficult to believe in this day and age and especially from the Decca Deram stable. The one album that would've really benefited from a true 5.1 surround mix from the original master and it's nowhere to be found, it wouldn't be the first time a well meaning band member misappropriated the tapes. I have the recent 5.1 conversion but I have never got around to listening to it yet so can't say how good or bad it is. So the title became it's epitaph, in search of "In Search Of The Lost Chord" Why did the other 6 albums miraculously remain intact and the really trippier album didn't. To quote their album title "Strange Times"
Quad5point1 7th Jan 2021		Vinyl Album The Beatles - Let It Be	Surely sheet music should be added to Music Memorabilia and not with the album
Quad5point1 2nd Jan 2021		CD Album Paul McCartney - McCartney III	I think it would be a bit of a crapshoot if you find anything genuinely collectible from this release, it might be a case of snake eyes for this one.
Quad5point1 2nd Jan 2021		CD Album Paul McCartney - McCartney III	Album Art Exclusive!!! So if you collect the sleeves this album has something for everybody, or maybe that should read "every sucker" ;-)
Quad5point1 31st Dec 2020		Vinyl Album Various Artists - Surprise Partie "Tous Les Jeunes"	With this album having "With The Compliments Of Jas. Hennessy And Co., Cognac" on the front of the sleeve should it not be listed as a Promo disc?. Cat# would also point to it being a Promo item (HEN 1) as it had been released previously with the Cat# "VRL 3009" in 1965 in the UK and "SP 4" in France.
