GEMSMFAN 13th Mar 2015		CD Album Poco - The Forgotten Trail (1969-74) (1990)	added both discs catalog numbers, from images supplied
GEMSMFAN 13th Mar 2015		CD Album Led Zeppelin - Led Zeppelin (1987)	BMG Direct Marketing (music club issue) with no bar code I'm surprised how Atlantic mistakely used the "SD" prefix used on LP catalog numbers.
GEMSMFAN 13th Mar 2015		CD Album Toni Tennille - More Than You Know (1984)	early U.S. release (target CD) which was pressed in West Germany, by PolyGram.
GEMSMFAN 12th Mar 2015		CD Album Dion - Bronx Blues: The Columbia Recordings (1962-1965) (1991)	Correct catalog number for this is CGK 46972. DIDP is NOT a catalog number, but a number assigned by Digital Audio Disc Corp., when this CD was manufactured (pressed). They were assigned to discs pressed outside the U.S., for sale in the U.S. D = Digital ID = Identification Project P = Popular (music) fyi: the last letter would be "C" (DIDC) for Classical CD's, in this program
GEMSMFAN 11th Mar 2015		CD Album Eagles - The Best Of Eagles	Wondering if I should add another submission. Mine has the catalog number here (you submitted) as the bar code only. The catalog number is 960 342-2 on Asylum. The disc was pressed in Germany by Record Service GmbH, Alsdorf. PCB5394: Does your release have a bar code on the back of the case? Don't want to submit, if you're submission info would change (possibly being corrected) and my submission is deleted (really extra work now, for nothing, in the future).
GEMSMFAN 8th Mar 2015		CD Album Nena - Nena (1983)	[YouTube Video]
GEMSMFAN 8th Mar 2015		CD Album Nena - 99 Luftballons (1984)	this is an early U.S. CD... I recently read that the original jewel cases were smooth on the top and bottom.. no ridges. This was released in one of those.
GEMSMFAN 8th Mar 2015		CD Album Eagles - One Of These Nights	Columbia House edition The odd catalog numbers make it easy to spot these.. also NO bar codes, although the earlier jewel cases didn't have bar codes. Many bar codes were just on the outer packaging.. ah yes, those cardboard long boxes.
GEMSMFAN 5th Mar 2015		CD Album Dan Fogelberg - Greatest Hits (1984)	this is a Columbia House Record Club (CRC) edition... dummy bar code... club editions really didn't need bar codes. BMG/RCA club didn't have any.
GEMSMFAN 5th Mar 2015		CD Album Toto - Past To Present 1977-1990 (1990)	D111510 - BMG Music Club edition (no bar code)
GEMSMFAN 24th Feb 2015		CD Album Leonard Cohen - The Essential Leonard Cohen (2002)	added 2 individual disc catalog numbers set (Primary) catalog number needs to be changed to C2K 86884
GEMSMFAN 23rd Feb 2015		CD Album Freddie King - Are You Ready For Freddie? (2004)	Isn't the Label, Fuel 2000? also the bar code should be, 030206139426??
GEMSMFAN 22nd Feb 2015		CD Album Tammy Wynette - Tears Of Fire: The 25th Anniversary Collection (1992)	added individual disc catalog numbers (courtesy of Discogs)
GEMSMFAN 21st Feb 2015		CD Album Angelique Kidjo - Black Ivory Soul (2002)	not "International', this is a U.S. release. U.S. Columbia catalog number (prefix "CK") European release is Columbia, 506069 2 or COL 506069 2.
GEMSMFAN 21st Feb 2015		CD Album The Byrds - Sweetheart Of The Rodeo (1997)	curious how this is "International" this is a U.S. release on Columbia / Legacy (and a reissue of the original CD - CK 9670 on Columbia) Europe release, Columbia: COL 486752 2 or just 486752 2 U.K. (reissue) release, Edsel: EDCD 234 It was re-released as 2 CD's Deluxe as Columbia / Legacy C2K 87189 (U.S.) and COL 510921 2 (Europe)
GEMSMFAN 21st Feb 2015		CD Album C + C Music Factory - Gonna Make You Sweat (1990)	curious to how this is "International"? It is a U.S. release... Canada released this also with this number, but does 2 countries qualify as "International"? Europe/Australia use 467814 2 or COL 467814 2, on Columbia.
GEMSMFAN 19th Feb 2015		CD Album Quarterflash - Girl In The WInd (1991)	this has a release date of 11-21-91. 1990 is the copyright, but check image 675187 (lower right). Japanese releases usually include the Release Date on back of obi or inlay.
GEMSMFAN 14th Feb 2015		CD Album The Beach Boys / Jan And Dean - The Beach Boys Vs. Jan And Dean: The Greatest Hits 15 (1986)	This was released back before there were any official "Beach Boys" Capitol CD's. What surfaced on several CD's from the odd labels were the BB's Hite Morgan studio recordings. Note there are several "Morgan" compositions... instrumentals, of course. Not sure, if the Jan & Dean recordings were the ones released on Liberty...
GEMSMFAN 13th Feb 2015		CD Album Patty Loveless - Dreamin' My Dreams (2005)	not a U.S. release... the EPC prefix is not U.S. Epic the U.S. release is "EK 94481" on "Epic / Jahaza"
GEMSMFAN 11th Feb 2015		CD Album Various Artists - TV Land Presents Favorite TV Theme Songs (2002)	all of these are by the original artists, although not all are the versions used in the shows. Some were re-recorded for singles/albums at the same time that the shows debuted. Others, the TV versions had inferior sound. Television was broadcasted in mono at the time, so the greatest sound wasn't needed. Track 25 "Happy Days" was used during the end credits, while Bill Haley's "Rock Around the Clock" was used at the shows' beginning. Pratt & McClain recorded a new version (different lyrics, also by Gimbel/Fox), which became the beginning theme. It was credited to "Pratt & McClain with Brotherlove".
GEMSMFAN 8th Feb 2015		CD Album Bobby Vinton - Bobby Vinton's Greatest Hits (1990)	this is a U.S. release, not International can someone understand.. the EK prefix in the catalog number, was for U.S. Epic compact discs (followed by a 5-digit number... i.e. EK xxxxx .... in Europe and elsewhere, EPC was used or no prefix and the catalog number was 6-digits, space and a 2, i.e. "xxxxxx 2"
GEMSMFAN 2nd Feb 2015		CD Album Smokey Robinson And The Miracles - Great Songs And Performances That Inspired The Motown 25th Anniversary Television Special (1987)	I realize you bought this under the new number, but I would've stuck with the original catalog number and original release date... 1987, since that was how this was manufactured. The new number only is applied to the back of the case. The spines, disc, etc. all don't have the change. The new number should be an unlinked alternate. This is the same as calling a commercial release (with bar code), a "promo" merely because the manufacturer stickered it as such. The change is just because the Label changed owners. The info of this really belongs in "Notes". If you replace the case (say, if it gets damaged), it would be like an original...
GEMSMFAN 1st Feb 2015		CD Album Electric Light Orchestra - Out Of The Blue (2007)	original release back inlay used (doesn't show bonus tracks, nor does it have the current Label or catalog number).
GEMSMFAN 31st Jan 2015		CD Album The McCoys - Hang On Sloopy: The Best Of The McCoys (1995)	with the "ZK" prefix, the label here would be "Epic Associated / Legacy", RPFiller?? here
GEMSMFAN 31st Jan 2015		CD Album Jerry Lee Lewis - 18 Original Greatest Hits (1988)	this is a reissue, originally released on CD as RNCD 5255.
GEMSMFAN 29th Jan 2015		CD Album Santana - Live At The Fillmore '68 (1997)	added the individual disc, catalog numbers
GEMSMFAN 27th Jan 2015		CD Album Lefty Frizzell - The Best Of (1991)	by looking at the bar code... this is a Rhino release and the Rhino number is R2 71005.
GEMSMFAN 26th Jan 2015		CD Album Diana Ross - The Ultimate Collection (1994)	Bee Gees sing back-up on Track 15
GEMSMFAN 25th Jan 2015		CD Album Various Artists - Super Hits Of The '70s: Have A Nice Day, Vol. 5 (1990)	@ henry29 & The_Vinyl_Junkie: mine are also individually jewel cased. the cardboard long box was the outer packaging that ALL U.S. CD's were packaged in for security and most people threw them away. ...and any CD's that didn't come with them, were packaged in similar clear plastic packs that were heat sealed or stapled together. Some stores had their own special security case which was unlocked at the counter. Import CD's were usually locked in display cases and you got a salesperson to give you the CD's. Actually, the record industry was in one way helping record stores. Since LP's were slowly on their way out, the approx. 5½ x 12¼ box allowed stores to use their existing record bins to display the then new CD format, by splitting the bins. Europe, Japan and almost everywhere else. New furniture had to be ordered to store the little jewel cases. .... Everyone remember the LIFT system? I'm sure that was widely used in shops in Europe... empty CD cases displayed.. CD's at the counter in a large filing drawer....
GEMSMFAN 24th Jan 2015		CD Album Bob Dylan - Biograph (2002)	This is the 2nd reissue C3K 38830 (Original, 1985) C3K 65298 (1st reissue, 1997)
