Syd Vliet 11th Sep 2014		CD Album Paul And Linda McCartney - Ram	This has the same cat no. label and barcode as the international (British bought) entry, so I think the two should be merged.
Syd Vliet 1st Sep 2014		CD Album Miles Davis - Bitches Brew	Added the 8 page booklet and better quality disc scans.
Syd Vliet 1st Sep 2014		CD Album Miles Davis - Black Beauty : Miles Davis At Fillmore West	Added full set of scans.
Syd Vliet 31st Aug 2014		CD Album John Lennon / Yoko Ono - John & Yoko The Interview: Recorded 6th December 1980 With Andy Peebles	Added the 6 page booklet
Syd Vliet 27th Aug 2014		CD Album John Lennon / Yoko Ono - Two Virgins	Why are the John/Yoko albums, including "Some Time in New York City", no longer showing up under "John Lennon"? Added the 4 page booklet.
Syd Vliet 19th Aug 2014		CD Album The Beatles - A Hard Days Night	Can one of the mods please change these German 'Universe' releases to Bootleg status. They are clearly unofficial and are making a bit of a mess of the official discography. [Mod: Done]
Syd Vliet 18th Aug 2014		CD Album Paul McCartney - All The Best!	The European/UK CD has a different track listing to the US version (and alternate song icons on the cover). Both CD's have 17 titles but 5 are different: The US CD has a more Wings/70s orientated line-up with the live 1979 version of "Coming Up" plus "Junior's Farm", "Uncle Albert/Admiral Halsey", "Goodnight Tonight" and "With a Little Luck". This European/UK CD has the studio version of "Coming Up" plus "Pipes of Peace", "Once Upon a Long Ago", "We All Stand Together" and "Mull of Kintyre" (frustratingly leaving out "Goodnight Tonight" which remained unavailable on CD in Europe until the 1993 re-issue of "McCartney II")
Syd Vliet 18th Aug 2014		CD Album Paul McCartney - Pipes Of Peace	Added the 12 page booklet. The first McCartney CD release in the UK/Europe, and, unlike all of my other pre-1987 Macca CD's, this one didn't have a silkscreen label
Syd Vliet 16th Aug 2014		CD Album Wings - Wings At The Speed Of Sound	Added full set of scans.
Syd Vliet 16th Aug 2014		CD Album Wings - London Town	Long delayed, by almost two years (note the 1987 digitally remastered copyright), and subsequently the last of McCartney's 1970's albums to be issued on CD. The 12 page booklet includes the lyrics but no reproduction of the LP's double sided poster.
Syd Vliet 16th Aug 2014		CD Album Paul McCartney - McCartney II	The live version was only included on the US edition of "All the Best" (the studio version is on the UK/Europe CD), though it may well be the reason it wasn't included here, with the compilers not aware of the difference. It was one of five obvious 1970-80 McCartney singles cuts not to be included on any of the 1987-89 UK/European CD's, the others being the two sides of the 'Ireland' single, "Helen Wheels" and "Goodnight Tonight" (a big hit in the UK which appeared on the vinyl edition of "All the Best" but not the CD).
Syd Vliet 16th Aug 2014		CD Album Paul McCartney - The CD Collection	I think this should be listed as a promo, I don't believe it was on sale to the general public.
Syd Vliet 16th Aug 2014		CD Album Paul McCartney - McCartney II	Track 11 is miss-spelled as "One of THOSE Days" on the disc, back and booklet (it should be "One of THESE Days"). The live version of "Coming Up" (coupled with the studio version as a single in 1980) is a glaring omission from the bonus tracks.
Syd Vliet 15th Aug 2014		CD Album The Beatles - The Capitol Albums Vol. 2	I got this set ridiculously cheap a year after it came out and I was expecting it to be the miss-pressed version with the mono folds in place of the genuine mono mixes, which I would have accepted for the price, but luckily it was the correct version. In hindsight, I really wish they'd included "Yesterday and Today" in place of the relatively pointless "Early Beatles". The recent 2014 edition of "Yesterday and Today" isn't genuine, mix wise.
Syd Vliet 14th Aug 2014		CD Album Wings - Wings Over America	The 16 page booklet is made up of sections from the reverse side of the original LP poster showing individual band member pics with their instruments, plus the gatefold sleeve painting (again cut into sections). Neither the front side of the poster or the inner sleeve graphics, depicting a plane door gradually opening, are reproduced on the CD artwork.
Syd Vliet 11th Aug 2014		CD Album Wings - Venus And Mars	Added the 12 page booklet plus scans of the back and the disc.
Syd Vliet 11th Aug 2014		CD Album Wings - Wild Life	Unlike the LP (and the cassette), the CD artwork acknowledged the presence of the two link tracks and gave them titles. The bonus tracks on these 1987-89 McCartney CD's were fairly comprehensive in adding the non-album singles and b-sides (even including the obscure Country Hams release on "Wings at the Speed of Sound"), but the 1972 single "Give Ireland Back to the Irish" (and its' instrumental flip side) was conspicuous in its' absence. Presumably Paul was uncomfortable with the song at this stage of his career and the A-side remained unavailable on CD until the 1993 re-issue of "Wild Life", whilst the b-side, as far as I'm aware, has never made it to the silver disc,
Syd Vliet 8th Aug 2014		CD Album Paul McCartney And Wings - Band On The Run	Added full set of scans. Not all of the polaroid snaps on the original poster were included in the CD booklet. The black and white vinyl inner sleeve picture of Paul, Linda and Denny with a group of African children is also missing. The lyrics were originally printed in white on a black background, but they chose black on cream for this CD.
Syd Vliet 8th Aug 2014		CD Album Ringo Starr - Blast From Your Past	I'd say this was definitely produced for the British/European market, no question about it. The Beatles Monthly announced the release with this cat no. in their June 1987 issue. I bought it that month from a WH Smith (the last place you'd expect to find a Japanese import) at a regular price. And note that there's no Japanese text, anywhere.
Syd Vliet 6th Aug 2014		CD Album Paul McCartney And Wings - Red Rose Speedway	Only 3 pages from the original 12 page LP booklet were included in the CD artwork, and no reproduction of the gatefold or back cover artwork either. Three terrific bonus tracks though.
Syd Vliet 5th Aug 2014		CD Album Wings - Wings Greatest	And no composer credits anywhere, denying Denny Laine recognition for "Mull of Kintyre". The first solo Beatle album I owned (on vinyl, early '79) and one of my earliest CD purchases (Dec '86).
Syd Vliet 5th Aug 2014		CD Album Wings - Wings Greatest	Added full set of scans
Syd Vliet 25th Jul 2014		CD Album The Beatles - Magical And Mystical Words	Bought it in Virgin Megastore (December '97) and note the full contact details for the label on the back, so it was seemingly intended as a legitimate release, but they must have been on dodgy ground with the inclusion of Christmas Flexi material. Probably didn't sell/press enough copies for Apple to notice/bother with.
Syd Vliet 24th Jul 2014		CD Album The Beatles - Magical And Mystical Words	A collage of Beatles Fan Club Christmas Flexi snippets plus interview clips and spoken word material (mostly already familiar to collectors of interview LPs released in the 1980s). The one section I hadn't heard before was the clowning around inbetween takes for the 8th November 1965 overdubbing session for George's "Think For Yourself".
Syd Vliet 12th Jul 2014		CD Album John Lennon - Walls And Bridges	Added the 16 page booklet.
Syd Vliet 30th Jun 2014		CD Album Gong - Magick Brother	Added the 12 page booklet.
Syd Vliet 28th Jun 2014		CD Album Can - Unlimited Edition	Added 12 page booklet.
Syd Vliet 12th Jun 2014		CD Album The Doors - Waiting For The Sun	Added booklet scans for all of The Doors 1984-86 CD's.
Syd Vliet 9th Jun 2014		CD Album Captain Beefheart And His Magic Band - Zig Zag Wanderer: The Best Of The Buddah Years	Added the booklet and tray inlay.
Syd Vliet 8th Jun 2014		CD Album Nick Drake - Time Of No Reply	Added the 6 page folded booklet and tray inlay.
