The_Vinyl_Junkie SUBS 13th May 2017		CD Album Billy Joel - Greatest Hits Volume 1 & Volume II	Where did the barcode come from for this entry? There is no sign of a barcode on any of the images. Also it is an Australian barcode that has been entered.
The_Vinyl_Junkie SUBS 10th May 2017		CD Album The Living End - Hellbound	The bar code on this release indicates it is manufactured in the UK.
The_Vinyl_Junkie SUBS 6th May 2017		Vinyl Album Funkadelic - Free Your Mind And Your Ass Will Follow	Hi Lee, I wouldn't mind betting that there could still be some of the original Ace UK pressings floating around in some Australian retailers shelves of stock ex Shock since they were distributing Ace catalogue material (but not very well). As for Funkadelic this was their second album for Westbound. My favourites are their third and fourth albums, "Magot Brain" and "Cosmic Slop" which I imported from the USA since they were not released in Australia at the time. George Clinton is a great guitarist.
The_Vinyl_Junkie SUBS 4th May 2017		CD Album BBC Radiophonic Workshop - The Doctor Who 25th Anniversary Album	Finally got it all here after four attempts. The Doctor didn't seem to have control of The Tardis and kept drifting off into space.
The_Vinyl_Junkie SUBS 28th Apr 2017		CD Album Social Distortion - Greatest Hits	Some of the tracks are re-recordings and not the originals.
The_Vinyl_Junkie SUBS 20th Apr 2017		78 RPM Patti Page - Why Don't You Believe Me / The Doggie In The Window	I was very tempted but not being into 78's, it ended up staying at the stall.
The_Vinyl_Junkie SUBS 19th Apr 2017		78 RPM Patti Page - Why Don't You Believe Me / The Doggie In The Window	A copy of this record in good condition was for sale by a stall holder at an Easter weekend antiques fair for $2.
The_Vinyl_Junkie SUBS 3rd Apr 2017		CD Album Madonna - Erotica	WEA/Warner Music official CD releases in Australia from the late 80's into the mid 90's were manufactured overseas. Since the "same manufactured" item has been released in 2 plus continents tags it as "International". Australia is not a part of Europe.
The_Vinyl_Junkie SUBS 2nd Apr 2017		CD Album Madonna - Erotica	The images of this entry is from the Australian release.
The_Vinyl_Junkie SUBS 22nd Mar 2017		CD Album Sigue Sigue Sputnik - Flaunt It	Track 1 is misspelt on the back inlay and the disc, correct on the insert sheet back.
The_Vinyl_Junkie SUBS 17th Mar 2017		Vinyl Album Duke Ellington - In A Magenta Haze	When adding a cat #, like here, it really doesn't matter which one is added. When searching by cat # the "space" and "-" is ignored in the search, so if you entered "ALL 796" then it would display all cat #'s that have been entered as "ALL796", ALL-796" and "ALL 796". When any cat #'s are entered with an alternate # using the "/" as a separator on the same line, for some reason it is only found if you enter your search in exactly the same way as it was entered. I guarantee that nobody would even think of doing something like that for a search - including me.
The_Vinyl_Junkie SUBS 3rd Mar 2017		CD Album Rolling Stones - Shine A Light	Thanks GEMSMFAN, I was not sure of what label to use and have now changed it to Polydor.
The_Vinyl_Junkie SUBS 24th Feb 2017		12" Single Blondie - Hanging On The Telephone	For Australia this was released in June 1979 along with the 7" single which entered the national charts on 16th July 1979.
The_Vinyl_Junkie SUBS 9th Jan 2017		78 RPM Mike Stewart, Bob Miller, Ralph Nyland, Dick Byron, Anne Lloyd, With Mitch Miller And His Orchestra - Hansel And Gretel Part I / Hansel And Gretel Part II	Also issued on a 45 - http://www.45cat.com/record/ff730.
The_Vinyl_Junkie SUBS 8th Jan 2017		78 RPM Mitch Miller - March From Peter And The Wolf / The Story Of Peter And The Wolf	The matrix number GL-284A plays "The Story..." and matrix number GL-284B plays "March From...".
The_Vinyl_Junkie SUBS 1st Jan 2017		12" Single Nanker Phelge [The Rolling Stones] - Schoolboy Blues	At the time bootlegs were illegal but initially tolerated by the record companies. The wholesaler in Australia had a Victorian post box for orders whilst the warehouse was in the suburbs of Perth, Western Australia, from where stocks were shipped Australia wide to retailers that took the chance to have them available. Festival records were the biggest anti-bootleg company and refused to supply any retailer that stocked bootleg albums. I visited the warehouse to get Rolling Stone items that I did not have and was lucky to get this as it was the only copy they had, and even more so as they were raided by the police a few days later and had the entire stocks confiscated and destroyed.
The_Vinyl_Junkie SUBS 20th Dec 2016		CD Album Marty Robbins - The Essential Marty Robbins 1951-1982	The Australian discs (1222605/1222606) were pressed by SMEA - Sony Music Entertainment Australia, as were some Australian/New Zealand artists with Aust/NZ releases only.
The_Vinyl_Junkie SUBS 28th Nov 2016		CD Album Suzi Quatro - The Wild One The Greatest Hits	I agree and have edited the entry accordingly with the Aussie release date in Notes.
The_Vinyl_Junkie SUBS 16th Nov 2016		CD Album Red Hot Chili Peppers - Red Hot Chili Peppers Live	Typo error throughout - "Chilli"
The_Vinyl_Junkie SUBS 16th Nov 2016		CD Album Bruce Hornsby And The Range - The Way It Is	Image #987116 was from stock supplied by BMG. The reason that the disc only image was entered initially is some light fingers removed the jewel case with sleeve from display. Interesting to see the discogs entry has the disc made in Japan.
The_Vinyl_Junkie SUBS 16th Nov 2016		CD Album Bruce Hornsby And The Range - The Way It Is	It was officially released in Australia with this cat # and bar code, distributed by BMG Australia, and initially entered as "International". It has subsequently been edited to "Europe".
The_Vinyl_Junkie SUBS 15th Nov 2016		CD Album Bruce Hornsby And The Range - The Way It Is	Shouldn't this be International since the rear inlay has: "© 1986 RCA/Ariola International" and the disc has: "℗ 1986 RCA/Ariola International"?
The_Vinyl_Junkie SUBS 2nd Nov 2016		CD Album Radiohead - OK Computer	Added the Australian rear inlay and disc images, all other artwork is identical.
The_Vinyl_Junkie SUBS 19th Oct 2016		CD Album Wendy O. Williams - A Retrospective	The first issued discs were of a poorer quality in some of the recordings.
The_Vinyl_Junkie SUBS 17th Oct 2016		12" Single Graham Parker And The Rumour - The Pink Parker	Image # 1170447 is what my scanner produced. It is not the whole record but the biggest circular area I could get with a single scan.
The_Vinyl_Junkie SUBS 29th Sep 2016		CD Album Kitaro - Silver Cloud	I did notice on my invoices that import material had a higher wholesale price and there were some retailers that hadn't picked it and were selling at standard RRP. Some Kitaro titles were released at normal price but I honestly can't remember. One needs the Platterlog sheets through the 80's.
The_Vinyl_Junkie SUBS 28th Sep 2016		CD Album Kitaro - Silver Cloud	This was available in Australia through PolyGram but unsure whether it had standard retail price tag or at import price.
The_Vinyl_Junkie SUBS 22nd Sep 2016		CD Album Dire Straits - Brothers In Arms	Released in Australia through PolyGram with the Original booklet image #'s 311379 to 311387 and the third embodiment image #'s 340099, 340100 which brings it into an International release.
The_Vinyl_Junkie SUBS 12th Sep 2016		CD Album Nick Cave And The Bad Seeds - Kicking Against The Pricks	A Nick Cave spoon...now that's getting into serious collecting.
The_Vinyl_Junkie SUBS 4th Sep 2016		CD Album k.d. lang And The Reclines - Absolute Torch And Twang	The couple of CD titles I own released through WEA in July 1989 are manufactured in Germany: (Jenny Morris - Shiver and Transvision Vamp - Velveteen). At that stage WEA were using the shortened barcode digits as the local cat #. It wasn't until the 1990's that they adopted the longer international number to match the change to Warner Music.
