| | I take your point Phil but as a past subscriber of many years to Mojo I do know they sought and procured copyright, licences, etc. in order to placate their overseas readers that bombarded the magazine with letters about "why don't we get a CD in such and such a place". So eventually Mojo addressed this issue but only after Uncut emerged and stole a huge chunk of there international market share by somehow being able to attach a CD to their magazine with no apparent copyright problems.
Mojo all of sudden didn't seem to have a problem issuing CDs and ramped up the frequency (not the quality) in response. I cancelled my subsciption because I now could get the CD and magazine locally. So now Mojo and Uncut are to CDs what MacDonalds is to toys - International distributors. The intention of both magazines is that CD is available wherever it is sold in the world - thus a global market for both the magazine and CD. I am happy to list the Mojo CDs as UK as that is where there are from but is interesting how some magazines are one thing and others another. |

| | Hi Lee, I think the difference is that The Blues Collection's publisher Orbis (which was later taken over by De Agostini) had (and still has) an Australian branch, whereas Mojo, Q, etc are just distributed by an Australian importer (Gordon and Gotch), and so not "issued" in Australia as such. In the same fashion, the UK reissue labels Ace, Charly, Demon, etc are mainly imports in this country (with the occasional exception like the Castle Australia distributed Charly Blues Classics CD that you put up). |

| | I know our native animals are fabulous eating material and loved the world over and that Mojo is a UK magazine but what I'm pointing out is there was a period when the CDs did not make it to our shores supposedly because of issues with copyright. Somehow in the late 90's this obstacle was overcome and the CD's started to come with the magazine, so therefore the intention of Mojo was to ship the CDs internationally. Other magazines, i.e., "The Blues Collection" was a UK (or European) magazine that shipped CDs worldwide and are they deemed rightly I believe to be International on this site. Why doesn't the same criteria apply to Mojo? |

| | I'm sure it's not national pride. Mojo is an UK magazine. You can get even kangaroos around the world by mail order or from pet shops, but it stays an Australian animal. |

| | I'm sure Mojo is shipped all over the world with the CDs attached. There was a period in the 90's when they claimed to not ship CD's overseas because they didn't have the rights to ship them internationally but they obviously do now and have done for years. So my question is why are these a UK release and not International? I listed this as a UK release to match the other entries but personally I would have gone for International. Surely Mojo and Uncut for that matter are Internationally distributed magazines. Is there a reason that these are listed UK releases other than national pride? |
