| | Thanks Magic, however making Virgin America the secondary label is not quite right either as the words, logo or any reference to "Virgin America" do not appear anywhere on this CD. Therefore the secondary label should be removed. I think the whole point of the discussion below was to put the position that Virgin America (this does have a logo though) or Virgin Records America Inc. are not labels at all but just the company office names of the Virgin Label in the USA. |

| | Label changed to Virgin (Virgin America made secondary label), and format changed to HDCD. |

| | Lol Lee! No, just a tourist visit, mainly to see the Beyond Caravaggio exhibition at the Scottish National Gallery, which includes a painting I was unable to see last week in Dublin, where it usually resides. Plus, my brother-in-law is from Edinburgh, and encouraged me to go. A long and expensive day trip, and it's not easy typing on a smartphone while on a fast-moving train! |

| | Thanks PhilMH and Alenko I have sent a correction in regard to the label. Off to Edinburgh eh Phil, is there some clandestine meeting planned with Dr Doom? |

| | Agree, label should be just Virgin, and purely by coincidence I'm currently on a Virgin Pendolino train travelling from Wolverhampton to Edinburgh - 'twas a bit of a shock to the system getting up at 5 am! |

| | Hi Alenko, thanks for the insight in regard to the Virgin label in the USA. I'm with you on this one and consider that the label should be changed to Virgin. That will mean this series will then have be made international and combined with the EU releases of the same time. |

| | Virgin Records America should not be considered as a label on its own.
Its just a local office of mainline Virgin Records
What makes a label is label logo and there is no logo for Virgin Records America
There has been so many discussions on Discogs and RYM regarding Virgin Records America as a label on its own and every time conclusion was made that its NOT a label because of the fact that there is no logo
Even on this site all Virgin Records America releases should be moved to Virgin |

| | Virgin, Virgin America or Virgin Records America Inc.? Virgin Records America appears on the spine, Virgin America appears nowhere on the disc or packaging and the plain old garden variety Virgin moniker or listing is on the disc, inlay, booklet and CD. On that evidence I'd be tempted to list this as a Virgin release and that would also make it international. Or is the fact that Virgin Records America Inc. is on the spine enough to make that the label and that label is significantly different enough to the Virgin label to warrant a separate US release even though all the other details are the same. It's time to split some hairs on these as the entire Roxy Music catalogue was re-released this way. However, in Australia they dropped the numerical cat#s ie ROXYCD 5 and just with spaced versions of the barcode. Are they all the same? Are they all different? Are some the same and some not?
My feeling is that the EU and USA editions are the same regardless of Virgin Records America Inc. being on the spine and both should be listed as Virgin releases. The Australian issues should be listed separately as they only use the secondary cat#s from the EU and USA CDs and don't have the ROXYCD 5 (or whatever #) as a cat# at all. Any ideas? |
