Comments and Reviews


Lee Wrecker 3rd Mar 2018		Added full inlay (back) scan to replace my cropped image #909313 that had the spines edited out. It would be good if some Australian MODS could have a look at this one as it has a specific Australian ordering cat# 8449782 in the barcode box and the product is completely made in Australia. In light of how the USA Capitol CD of the Beatles "Abbey Road" was given USA national status on the strength of the Capitol ordering cat# on the longbox surely the same should apply here and the Australian issue given it's own page. If not an explanation would be nice...what's good for the goose...



Lee Wrecker 12th Dec 2017		The Australian Disc I uploaded does not have the UK secondary cat CDV 2848 in the barcode box. What it does have is a different Australian ordering cat# of 8449782 (compare barcode boxes). Unusually, though I've had a look at the spine and the actual disc and the UK cat# CDV 2848 is on both. Is it sloppy artwork or of consequence? Given recent Americanisation of international CDs due to one different cat# (longbox). I think we may have to split these and create an Australian entry on the strength of the Australian ordering cat# of 8449782 . What do you think gregs78s? Or this stuff still in the who knows realm?



Bodston SUBS 9th Dec 2015		No worries, every day is a learning day!



Lee Wrecker 9th Dec 2015		Good job Bodston, love your work. I'm still coming to grips with the ins and outs of CD world but I'm starting to get my head around it now. Thanks to all for their patience and help during my initial flurry.



Bodston SUBS 9th Dec 2015		European and Australian releases combined as International. I have had a tinker with the entire Air discography to try and achieve some consistency and remove all of those portmanteau labels. Let me know what you all think.



Lee Wrecker 8th Dec 2015		Thanks, gregs78s I've only been on this part of the site for two days and I'm just getting up to speed with the protocols and rules for CD entries. I've gone back through some of my earlier entries and sent corrections where needed and fortunately I haven't duplicated another entry elsewhere but have needed to alter some to International. Once again thanks for your help I'm getting my head around the process now and should be more accurate from here on with my entries.



gregs45s SUBS 8th Dec 2015		In this particular case it appears that this entry is duplicated,there is already a European entry,with exactly the same Cat.No./label/barcode combination (admittedly needs corrections).Your Australian (specific,only) images(in this case it just looks like images 909310/313/314) and any other that differ from the European entry,needed to just be added to the European entry without creating a new entry,marking the images "Australian".If a CD has the same Cat.No/Barcode/Label combination (exactly) then it's usually only some of the images that differ,i.e,that make it uniquely Australian (or which ever country) and then only the images that differ need be added to the existing entry.It will save you a lot of work;).So to clarify,here,all that was needed was to add the following images 909310/313/314 (3) images (the 3 that differ) to the European entry and mark them as "Australian" and ask for the country to be changed to "International".I'll request the following corrections for you on the European entry : Please change Cat.No. to : 7243 8 44978 2 8 / 724384497828 /CDV 2848 Please change label to : Virgin / Source Please change country to : International It will mean that Lee's Australian entry will be deleted,but don't worry,the three images will be merged with the European entry to create one International entry,hope this makes some sense. Greg PS I've requested all the necessary corrections,so you don't need to make any yourself,it's in the queue:)



Jasper 7th Dec 2015		Hi Lee, I see your point and agree with you - I have had the same issue before but mine also was changed to International against my views.



Lee Wrecker 7th Dec 2015		Jasper, check out the back cover in the box that contains the barcode it says "printed in Australia" and in fine print to the right is the marketed and distributed info. Definitely Australasian in my view.



Jasper 7th Dec 2015		I am watching with interest - I agree that Australasia should be listed as a country option. I have several CDs listed on this site as Europe or U.S. - same cat no. same bar code that I purchased through normal retail outlets in Australia.



Lee Wrecker 7th Dec 2015		We run into the dreaded intended market country area here don't we? In that sense this is an Australian and New Zealand - Australasia needs to be a category - release in that it was manufactured here for sale in those markets. Warner Bros. released albums here for years with the same cat#'s as there US counterparts but in LP world they are Australian releases. Surely the same must apply here. I too have run into some irate New Zealanders that want to claim that because an album was made there it is a solely New Zealand release but the records were distributed to both countries. It's a can of worms Bodston.



Bodston SUBS 7th Dec 2015		So, does that make the release 'International' with the European and Australian sharing the same page?



Lee Wrecker 7th Dec 2015		Hmm... Bodston I see your point, here's an Australian release with same cat# and barcode as the European release but it isn't the European release is it? It's a minefield sometimes getting these things right.



sladesounds 28th Feb 2015		Air's full-length debut, Moon Safari, proved they could write accessible pop songs like "Sexy Boy" and "Kelly Watch the Stars." But it wasn't all pop. The opener, "La Femme d'Argent," was an otherworldly beginning, with a slinky bassline evoking Serge Gainsbourg's Histoire de Melody Nelson and a slow glide through seven minutes of growing bliss (plus a wonderful keyboard solo). The vocoderized "Remember" relaunched a wave of robot pop that hadn't been heard in almost 20 years, and the solos for harmonica and French horn on "Ce Matin La" made the Bacharach comparisons direct. Unlike most electronica producers, Air had musical ideas that stretched beyond samplers or keyboards, and Moon Safari found those ideas wrapped up in music that was engaging, warm, and irresistible.
