GEMSMFAN 3rd Jan 2016		CD Album The Beach Boys - Sunflower	is this a double CD set? the image submitted has "Disc 2" printed.
GEMSMFAN 3rd Jan 2016		CD Album Teddy Pendergrass - TP (1993)	light purple CD tray. Many of "The Right Stuff" releases had colored CD trays, colors other than black or grey. This actually is a CD reissue. The original issue was released as, Philadelphia International, ZK 36745.
GEMSMFAN 1st Jan 2016		CD Album Charo And The Salsoul Orchestra - Cuchi-Cuchi (2006)	looks as if this is the 41,000th CD entry, since it's the last one and the main CD page at top has that number

GEMSMFAN 22nd Nov 2015		CD Album Various Artists - 1000 Nadelstiche (2000)	Review A great collection of tracks, mostly hits from some of the biggest American and British singing stars sung in German!. hence "Amerikaner und Briten singen Deutsch". The title, "1000 Nadelstiche" ("Tausend Nadelstiche", the German version of "Needles and Pins", by The Searchers", and included in this set) was the first in what evolved into several compilation volumes. With all the German recordings that exist, a book by the same title was published. Bear Family, based in Germany does a great job reissuing these tracks and these German versions are quite rare. Most were released in Germany and possibly other German speaking countries (Austria, Switzerland) as 7" 45rpm singles and didn't fare as well on the charts as their English versions. Some didn't chart period. This set, contains an informative booklet, but it is in German, so get out those pocket translators, ah yes (smartphone). Plenty of photos, as well as the German 45 release info. 2 people found this review helpful. ✔︎ Helpful Review?
GEMSMFAN 22nd Nov 2015		CD Album Barbra Streisand - Timeless (2000)	added individual disc numbers.
GEMSMFAN 22nd Nov 2015		CD Album Various Artists - The Soul Train Christmas Starfest Album (1997)	not a U.S. release... check Europe list as the catalog numbers there use six numbers space followed by a "2".. U.S. CD used prefix "EK" or "EGK" followed by only a five digit number, and no "2"
GEMSMFAN 21st Nov 2015		CD Album Christopher Cross - Christopher Cross (1983)	I added 4 images.. both those copies weren't released in 1989. the West German PolyGram pressed Target issue, as well as the Sanyo Japanese pressed issue were released in 1983-5. Later copies were pressed in the U.S. by WEA Manufacturing Inc.
GEMSMFAN 21st Nov 2015		CD Album Christopher Cross - Christopher Cross (1989)	.
GEMSMFAN 21st Nov 2015		CD Album Various Artists - 1000 Nadelstiche (2002)	the booklet has incorrect information (text and photo) Track 2 is printed as being: Barry Ryan "Sanctus Sanctus Halleluja" with "Ryan-Frances" as Composers
GEMSMFAN 16th Nov 2015		CD Album Dire Straits - Dire Straits (1983)	2 early U.S. "Target design" pressings pressed in Japan by Sanyo (with clear center ring) pressed in West Germany by PolyGram (metallic reflective over complete disc)
GEMSMFAN 15th Nov 2015		CD Album The Cars - Heartbeat City (1984)	U.S. release, West German pressed note U.S. Elektra address on back inlay bottom remember where it was pressed isn't necessarily where it was released the GEMA right societies can easily confuse. note also there is NO capsule-shaped Label Code number printed anywhere.. it is a U.S. release another thing NO Europe: catalog number anywhere.. that is usually printed on the spines.
GEMSMFAN 11th Nov 2015		CD Album Heintje - Die Stimme Für Millionen (1989)	Label is Ariola Express, not Ariola
GEMSMFAN 8th Nov 2015		CD Album Jan And Dean - All The Hits: From Surf City To Drag City (1990)	Columbia House club issue
GEMSMFAN 6th Nov 2015		CD Album Eric Clapton - Backtrackin' (1984)	There are tracks from Derek & the Dominos, Blind Faith and Cream here, while everything was submitted as "Eric Clapton"
GEMSMFAN 3rd Nov 2015		CD Album Art Garfunkel - Across America (2005)	aren't some of these tracks actually "Simon & Garfunkel"? or are they new solo versions? looking at the printed info.. the label actually looks like "Peoplesound" "The Mail On Sunday" is simply the logo of the paper.
GEMSMFAN 31st Oct 2015		CD Album The Chipmunks With David Seville - Christmas With The Chipmunks Vol. 2 (1987)	I notice the bar code sticker... the original bar code underneath probably resembles the catalog number... it usually begins with 07777
GEMSMFAN 29th Oct 2015		CD Album Connie Francis - The Very Best Of Connie Francis (1986)	this is a U.S. release.. while the disc was pressed in West Germany and even has the label code... the paperwork indicates U.S. this is a common release (U.S.), where the disc was pressed abroad, but packaged for the U.S. early U.S. releases had discs pressed in Germany or Japan.
GEMSMFAN 25th Oct 2015		CD Album Elvis Presley - Elv1s 30 #1 Hits (2002)	this should be changed to "International".. the U.S. release has everything the same
GEMSMFAN 18th Oct 2015		CD Album Dio - The Last In Line (1985)	Club issue (Columbia House).. "W2" prefix and odd Bar Code
GEMSMFAN 17th Oct 2015		CD Album Bonnie Raitt - Luck Of The Draw (1991)	the standard issue was released in a digipak, whereas the BMG club issue in a jewel case.
GEMSMFAN 11th Oct 2015		CD Album Joe Walsh - Barnstorm (1990)	the correct label is Mobile Fidelity Sound Labs, note the catalog number prefix "MFCD" MCA would be a secondary label
GEMSMFAN 10th Oct 2015		CD Album The Outfield - Play Deep (1985)	Noticed all the booklet scans, just curious, but are posting lyrics allowed?
GEMSMFAN 10th Oct 2015		CD Album Belle Stars - 80's Romance: The Complete Belle Stars (2010)	While this is a great collection, no doubt.. it's almost "complete"... known missing tracks are the 12" version of "Iko Iko", their 1986 "World Domination" in both single and extended versions and the 1987 "Check In, Check Out" which was from the "Burglar" soundtrack.
