TheJudge 3rd Sep 2020		78 RPM Miss Jones And Mr. Spencer - Flanagan's Night Off	Made in US for sale in UK. By our lights, that would make it a UK release
TheJudge 31st Aug 2020		CD Album Gorefest - False	Nuclear Blast is a German label, but it seems there were a lot of reissues from another source trying to pass themselves off as NB releases. Given what you've said about the insert, it's possible this is one of those.
TheJudge 31st Aug 2020		CD Album Gorefest - False	"Wrexham, England"!!!!? Bloody cheek! Actually, The Windings was only a fifteen-minute walk from where I'm sitting now. Quite a few bands recorded there, including Chumbawamba (Disc Two of this) and Hecate Enthroned.
TheJudge 29th Aug 2020		78 RPM The Gilberts - Carolina In The Morning / Our Little Garden Subbub	Would these be the same as The Two Gilberts, who also recorded for Regal at this time?
TheJudge 24th Aug 2020		CD Album The Goons - The Goon Show Volume 33	Etong-iddle-I-po!
TheJudge 23rd Aug 2020		CD Single Dr. Phibes And The House Of Wax Equations - Misdiagnosedive (Radio Edit)	All The Way Through Eternity: [YouTube Video]
TheJudge 22nd Aug 2020		78 RPM W. Duncan - By Jingo / He'd Say "Oo La La, Wee-Wee"	Matrix #s are the same, so it'll be the same recordings under different names.
TheJudge 19th Aug 2020		78 RPM Brammer Brother's And The Virginia Partener's - Tell Me Truly Little Darling / Virginia Waltz	The default sort order is by date, so this being shown as '1950' would put it top. Are you saying that this is a 1951 release?
TheJudge 11th Aug 2020		Vinyl Album Blood, Sweat And Tears - Blood, Sweat & Tears Greatest Hits	I've amended the title to remove the possessive apostrophe and made a Note to clarify.
TheJudge 30th Jul 2020		12" Single Kraftwerk - Tour De France (French Version)	Perhaps the owner of images #1347122~3 had the same thought, Ed!
TheJudge 29th Jul 2020		12" Single Kraftwerk - Tour De France (French Version)	Does it play at 45 (as stated on the labels) or 33 (as amended on the first set of images)?
TheJudge 26th Jul 2020		CD Album Phil Collins - The Singles	There's only facility to add two discs when making a new entry. Any further discs would have to be reported via the 'Add Missing Info' link at the bottom for a mod. to add them.
TheJudge 23rd Jul 2020		Vinyl Album The Cascades - Rhythm Of The Rain	Perfectly possible for the record to have been manufactured in one country and the sleeve in another (this is seen quite a bit in Canadian releases of certain vintages, where the disc was pressed in Canada but the sleeve imported from the US).
TheJudge 20th Jul 2020		CD Album Sparks - A Steady Drip, Drip, Drip	[YouTube Video]
TheJudge 20th Jul 2020		CD Album Sparks - A Steady Drip, Drip, Drip	Review It might have been thought impossible for the Mael brothers to have met the standards of 2017's Hippopotamus, but they have not merely succeeded, they have exceeded the quality of that album. All the Sparks trademarks are there: the varied musical styles and influences (Left Out In The Cold is in a distinctly Latin style, The Existental Threat is based on klezmer); the oblique takes on reality (Stravinksky's Only Hit postulates what would have happened if Igor had decided to write pop songs instead, for example); and the glorious battiness (Lawnmower, Onomato Pia). But there is a surprising melancholy underpinning many of the tracks Pacific Standard Time being the standout example. Perhaps this is what we can expect from a couple of septuaginarians. The musicianship and production are excellent, with the brothers clearly knowing who they can bring in to provide tight and dynamic playing. The outstanding track is iPhone, in which - in turn - Adam, Abraham Lincoln and Mrs Steve Jobs wrestle with the difficulty of trying to communicate with their audiences (Eve, the crowd at Gettysburg and Mr Steve Jobs respectively), hence the chorus, "Put that fucking iPhone down and listen to me!" Quite possibly Sparks' strongest ever album and a sure-fire classic. 5 people found this review helpful. ✔︎ Helpful Review?
TheJudge 14th Jul 2020		Vinyl Album Gordon Lightfoot - Don Quixote	Producer credit corrected.
TheJudge 13th Jul 2020		12" Single Michael Jackson - Don't Stop Till You Get Enough	I think the 'S' in the middle of the cat# on the review is a typo. However, I think the cat# on our entry should have an 'S' at the beginning. And I'm not sure about that sleeve image, either; it shows the cat# for the 7",
TheJudge 8th Jul 2020		CD Album The Selecter - Cruel Britannia	None of the entries at Discogs (yeah, I know) for this release has that front cover.
TheJudge 3rd Jul 2020		CD Single Mal Pope And The Jacks - Golden Days	Nothing like it! ;-)
TheJudge 3rd Jul 2020		Cassette Album Various Artists - The Spirit Of Christmas	It's unrelated to the Pickwick Hallmark. I've changed the label here to 'Hallmark Cards' to match the other US releases on that label.
TheJudge 2nd Jul 2020		CD Single Mal Pope And The Jacks - Golden Days	Just a side point: 'Jacks' is the name given by others (and by themselves) to people from Abertawe/Swansea. Up here at the other end of the World's Greatest Country(TM) it's also used for people from Rhosllanerchrugog ('The Rhos').
TheJudge 1st Jul 2020		78 RPM Gracie Fields And Sandy Powell - Gracie And Sandy At The Coronation Part 1 / Gracie And Sandy At The Coronation Part 2	Parts 1 & 2: [YouTube Video]
TheJudge 11th Jun 2020		78 RPM Mr. James Hudson - Miner's Dream Of Home / Don't Go Down The Mine, Dad	1. Of the three others, one had had the dot missed off on submission, and two don't have images to check. I've converted them all to the same format as this entry, so that will put all of Mr. Hudson's releases together. 2. I'm not quite sure of the standard procedure on this; may best to but the B-side cat# as the 'other' cat# instead.
TheJudge 9th Jun 2020		CD Album Creedence Clearwater Revival - Creedence Clearwater Revival	To me, it suggest that Fantasy had the original issue but that this one is released by Carrere. Suggest no change.
TheJudge 8th Jun 2020		78 RPM Frank Chacksfield - Terry's Theme / Limelight	I just know that I'm opening up a can of worms here, but shouldn't this (and the other two Chacksfield London issues) be categorised as 'export issue'? I know that - even if so - we would have to state the diameter in the Notes (or state 'Export issue' in the Notes and leave the diameter where it is).
TheJudge 7th Jun 2020		Vinyl Album Barbara Dickson - The Barbara Dickson Album	So it appears: notes amended.
TheJudge 6th Jun 2020		CD Album Various Artists - Detroit (Rare Tracks From) Vol. 1	Agreed. BAR was, though, a subsidiary of Marginal. I've changed this release to 'BAR' and 'BAR' to Belgium.
TheJudge 26th May 2020		Vinyl Album The Schmitt Brothers Barbershop Quartet - Brighten The Corner	That's like me constantly wanting to call the RSPB the 'Royal Society for the Prevention of Birds'.
TheJudge 21st May 2020		Vinyl Album Various Artists - The World Of Hits	The odd thing about this is the inclusion of Gloria which never charted in the UK.
TheJudge 6th May 2020		Vinyl Album Kraftwerk - Autobahn	Auf wiederhören, Florian. :-(
