GEMSMFAN 4th May 2017		CD Album Carpenters - The Complete Singles (2015)	This was actually a PBS-TV pledge product.
GEMSMFAN 23rd Apr 2017		CD Album Various Artists - Frat Rock! (1987)	added bar code (a jewel case applied sticker) and alternate reflective disc image reflective image disc release still had original "RNCD" prefix whereas reissues (which this probably isn't) use the later "R2" prefix
GEMSMFAN 23rd Apr 2017		CD Album Chuck Mangione - Land Of Make Believe	CRC = Columbia Record Club issue
GEMSMFAN 23rd Apr 2017		CD Album Various Artists - Thank God It's Friday: The Original Motion Picture Soundtrack (1996)	Edited version of this release from a year later.
GEMSMFAN 2nd Apr 2017		CD Album Emotions - Rejoice (1989)	Added writing credits printed on disc
GEMSMFAN 20th Mar 2017		CD Album Bob Dylan - Blood On The Tracks (1987)	disc enclosed is a later release, 1991 or later
GEMSMFAN 20th Mar 2017		CD Album Bob Dylan - Blonde On Blonde (1987)	the disc on this release is definitely 1991 or later. Columbia and Epic logos changed then. Note no "walking eye", just the the letters. this has the original bar code
GEMSMFAN 14th Mar 2017		CD Album Bob Dylan - Bob Dylan's Greatest Hits (1987)	Club edition with 0 20831 - 1385 - 2 86 bar code CRC = Columbia House
GEMSMFAN 4th Mar 2017		CD Album Billy Joel - Glass Houses (1998)	this was released more than likely in 1998, as the other reissues from Billy Joel in the same CD Extra series
GEMSMFAN 4th Mar 2017		CD Album Billy Joel - 52nd Street (1998)	CD Extra (CD-ROM) portion: videos for: "Big Shot", "Honesty" and "My Life"
GEMSMFAN 4th Mar 2017		CD Album Billy Joel - An Innocent Man (1998)	CD Extra portion (CD-ROM) videos for, "The Longest Time", "Leave a Tender Moment Alone" (live), "Keeping the Faith" and "Tell Her About It"
GEMSMFAN 4th Mar 2017		CD Album Billy Joel - Greatest Hits Volume I & II (1998)	CD Extra videos (on disc 1): You're Only Human (Second Wind) / The Night is Still Young
GEMSMFAN 3rd Mar 2017		CD Album Rolling Stones - Shine A Light (2008)	the label looks to be Polydor.. there is no mention of the submitted label. The "lips" logo here simply was a trademark logo of the group, but no longer the label which both CBS and WEA distributed at different times while it existed.
GEMSMFAN 19th Feb 2017		CD Album Dick Clark - Dick Clark's Rock Roll & Remember (1992)	Dick Clark isn't an artist... this should be Various Artists
GEMSMFAN 19th Feb 2017		CD Album Dick Clark - Dick Clark's Rock Roll & Remember (1994)	Dick Clark isn't an artist... this should be Various Artists
GEMSMFAN 19th Feb 2017		CD Album Paul McCartney And Wings - Band On The Run (1985)	is MPL a label?
GEMSMFAN 29th Jan 2017		CD Album Gloria Estefan - History Of Gloria Estefan (1996)	This was issued in a slimline case. Funny thing is the cover has the different album covers and printed is the Japanese "Eyes of Innocence" cover, yet there are no tracks from it on the CD. This is quite rare and when available is expensive. I own a copy somewhere. I don't know where I currently have it.
GEMSMFAN 2nd Jan 2017		CD Album Loudon Wainwright III - Album III (1990)	This release must be after 1991, as the disc has the revised Columbia logo
GEMSMFAN 27th Nov 2016		CD Album Stevie Nicks - Bella Donna (1983)	First pressings were also made in West Germany, by PolyGram.
GEMSMFAN 6th Nov 2016		CD Album Paul McCartney - The Family Way (2011)	Those are actual songs?
GEMSMFAN 1st Nov 2016		CD Album Miles Davis - In A Silent Way (1987)	this doesn't look like a 1987 release.. the case has an original bar code before the Sony takeover, but the disc label is very plain looking and has the revised "Columbia" logo (introduced in 1991)... note no "walking eye in the box" and the double thin line outerborder, which also was printed on discs, back then. A new Epic logo was introduced in 1991, also.
GEMSMFAN 29th Oct 2016		CD Album Ben Folds - Rockin' The Suburbs (2001)	AK 61610 is the catalog number.. the S1 refers to the sticker and it only is printed on the the sticker.
GEMSMFAN 19th Oct 2016		CD Album Basia - Time And Tide (1987)	all inserts/booklet are Canadian, U.S. release disc enclosed... note disc catalog number (U.S. number) doesn't match Canadian number.
GEMSMFAN 4th Oct 2016		CD Album The Lettermen - The First Four Albums And More! (2014)	you should have divided the albums and created boldface green text with their titles using SECTIONBREAK... just a suggestion
GEMSMFAN 1st Oct 2016		CD Album Debbie Gibson - Ms. Vocalist (2010)	this album was an exclusive release in Japan and other Far East countries.
GEMSMFAN 27th Sep 2016		CD Album Ricky Nelson - All My Best (1986)	the U.S. / Canadian releases are edited versions, as additional tracks were recorded, but omitted. They were, "You are the Only One", "You Know What I Mean", "Don't Leave Me This Way", "Mighty Good" and "Sweeter than You".
GEMSMFAN 26th Sep 2016		CD Album Quarterflash - Quarterflash (1983)	very unusual PolyGram pressed in West Germany for U.S., disc (non-Target). And this wasn't intended to be a Target, as text was printed halfway (in CD ring area). Looks more like a U.S. pressed WEA Manufacturing Inc. disc except it has the PolyGram characteristic, the fully reflective coated disc. The back inlay has the catalog number on the otherwise blank other side.. the jewel case though is already a grooves case and not the smooth, fogged type which is what early produced CD's were packaged in.
GEMSMFAN 25th Sep 2016		CD Album Bucks Fizz - The Very Best Of Bucks Fizz (2007)	DVD is in the PAL format, Region 0
GEMSMFAN 24th Sep 2016		CD Album Billy Joel - An Innocent Man (1986)	this should be "Columbia" with "CBS" as 2nd label just added disc image
GEMSMFAN 24th Sep 2016		CD Album Agnetha Fältskog - Eyes Of A Woman (1985)	note typo on back inlay spine: "Eyes Of A Women"
