leonard 18th Feb 2021		moved the Australian issue to its own new entry. Reshuffled images. Changed country from International to Europe. Australian members may want to adjust their I own. Here's to you Lee!



Magic Marmalade 🍰 18th Feb 2021		I see mod-Leonard has just entered the Australian disc... (Which also has words to effect of: "Made in Australia" on both disc and art - unlikely to have been made for any other market, it's just when European discs turn up in Aus, that the whole "International" saga applies - not other way round, I think) I'm sure it will be linked soon (Disc looks like it might be signed (?)). We'll get round to doing a "sweep" of the label sometime, and apply the sorting hat, armed with this knowledge... but we've got a couple of thousand or so other things need doing first. So be patient, and we'll make more of a mess later :)



Lee Wrecker 18th Feb 2021		Are you ready for a hair-splitting good time! Well, get on board. The Australian release supplied here by The_Vinyl_Junkie does not have the secondary cat# CDNODATA 02 as the UK and Dutch entries here do. This cat# CDNODATA 02 is also listed as part of the cat# at the top of the page. The Australian issue has a different secondary cat# 8552292 which is used for ordering the product locally. Now, just so everyone knows, this is not unusual and in fact is a feature of Australian pressed Parlophone and EMI releases. The secondary ordering cat# here might also look familiar to UK catters as a very similar cat# often appears on EU/UK manufactured covers. However, even if the same numbers are used, which is sometimes the case the UK/EU produced covers will have a space between the third and fourth numbers i.e 000 0000 whereas the Australian equivalent will always be a single string 0000000. The point being that an Australian release is always distinguishable by its unique secondary cat# even if the numbers are in fact the same as an EU/UK release. Are you having fun yet? In terms of listing things in a database as we are on this site these differences however small they may seem are important because the correct product should be able to found by entering the global cat# 7243 8 55229 2 5 or the local secondary cat# CDNODATA 02 which is the case with this release. However, if I enter the Australian ordering cat# 8552292 nothing appears. Oooh, it's getting exciting isn't it? So, we need to either add the Australian secondary cat# 8552292 to this listing or create an Australian entry. Now, if you remember my earlier point you'll now realise that if we add that cat# we'll also have to do it for every EMI and Parlophone CD release because the Australian made issues will all be unique even if the same numbers secondary cat#s are being used. I've seen international CDs split for less, USA long box numbers on an international CD anyone? UK cat# in the price code box on an EU release? If these are considered valid reasons to split CDs surely a uniquely Australian secondary cat# across the entire EMI catalogue would also qualify. Furthermore, if the all the MODS were aware of this they could easily identify an Australian CD straight away. My view is that all Australian CDs that exhibit this unique secondary cat# should be listed as Australian. I might add that it only ever appears on CDs that are actually made in Australia. Maybe with Swindon glass but stamped here. Sometimes, even with an EU manufactured disc but the cover printed in Australia. Eeeek! I'll stop there and won't even go to the current situation where we actually get the same identical product. Apologies for the promises of fun and entertainment but what do people think?



Quad5point1 ● 15th Aug 2019		Nod to all previous posters, I've added all remaining booklet scans + UK CD Tray Insert & Disc. Also added composer credits



Apollo59 14th Jul 2017		Personally, I thought this album was a load of over-hyped bollocks. At best there's no more than 2 just-passable tracks on it. Sort of fodder bigged-up by the Jo Whiley types - nuff said.



The_Vinyl_Junkie SUBS 2nd Nov 2016		Added the Australian rear inlay and disc images, all other artwork is identical.



TopPopper 7th Feb 2016		One of the great recordings of this era.



TopPopper 7th Feb 2016		I think classical critics who would dismiss pop music should listen to this, in particular the great anthem, "from a great height" etc, with it's contrapuntal melody, which is as good as the theme from "Jupiter", for example (Holst).



Magic Marmalade 🍰 4th Jun 2015		Perhaps you can pinch one from another title.



gregs45s SUBS 4th Jun 2015		Yes,quite right,a quick look at ebay reveals that they all appear to have a clear tray.



Magic Marmalade 🍰 4th Jun 2015		(?) Mine has a clear plastic tray over the artwork (Are you sure yours has the original tray?) Never noticed the little message on the inside right of the tray before on that image!



gregs45s SUBS 4th Jun 2015		More scans added.Curious that they bothered with artwork behind the semi-opaque dark yellow tray,perhaps the original intention was to have a clear one.



Magic Marmalade 🍰 10th Feb 2015		This month's Record Collector magazine (FEB 2015 Issue), in it's article on Radiohead rarities, says that some Dutch copies of this (CDNODATA 02) were mis-pressed, with Pink Floyd's Dark Side Of The Moon album playing instead. "Oops!", it concludes. I don't buy that for a second. Not that the mis-pressings don't exist, but that it was an "accident". I was one of those eagerly anticipating the release of this album after The Bends, and in the run up to it's release, Radiohead gave a couple of interviews, where I recall them saying how much they were into Pink Floyd at the time, and listening to a lot of their work... Strange then for that particular album's music to be mistakenly pressed onto this particular release! Coincidence... or deliberate accident? As for the "Dutch Copies" bit, most who have entered CDs here are familiar with the idea that a lot of releases are pressed all over the shop... right around Europe for any given national market. I don't think there is such a thing as "Dutch" copies of this... Even looking at the back cover scan of this UK entry (With the universally applied Cat#) it is printed in Holland (Mine is pressed in UK, but I suspect that's no measure of how many of each country of origin I'd find out in the shops if I went looking for it here). Difficult to believe you'd come across one out in the wild now anyway, as such a popular, and listened to album would mean that any existing would almost certainly have been identified by now, and sold on for the listed £80 price (or more), or would even have been sent back to the factory by unsatisfied customers.
