GEMSMFAN 16th Jan 2022		CD Album ABBA - Voyage (2021)	this release should actually be Taiwan, note the web addess ends with .tw I can scan the actual back of this release.. it is a Polar European release in the typical digisleeve.
GEMSMFAN 26th Sep 2021		CD Album Kirsty MacColl - Kite (1989)	I generally don't post the pages which include lyrics. The same as you can't scan and post the middle pages of magazines with articles.
GEMSMFAN 29th Aug 2021		CD Album [no artist listed] - TeeVee Toons: The Commercials (1989)	Not mentioned in the notes, but enclosed in the long box was a wrapped Cracker Jack prize.
GEMSMFAN 14th Jul 2021		CD Album Various Artists - Coca Cola Commercials	Each track has an introduction announcing the artist and then the artist performs a short excerpt of one of their hits before speaking about Coca-Cola leading into "Things Go Better..." Ready for this.. there is a Volume 2!!!
GEMSMFAN 11th Oct 2020		CD Album Kris Kristofferson - Songs Of Kristofferson (1988)	is the label actually, 'Monument / CBS Special Products'?
GEMSMFAN 9th Oct 2020		CD Album Céline Dion - Celine Dion (1998)	Noticed who is Gliff Griffin?? on back is printed, 'Celine Dion & Gliff Griffin'.
GEMSMFAN 31st Jul 2020		CD Album Pacific Gas And Electric - Pacific Gas And Electric	European release, U.S. releases don't have Label Codes [Mod: changed]
GEMSMFAN 18th Oct 2019		CD Album Redbone - Greatest Songs (1995)	these aren't the original recordings.. Dominion Entertainment, Inc. isn't printed anywhere on the outside packaging. Sounds like new stereo recordings and not necessarily the original members.
GEMSMFAN 8th Sep 2019		CD Album Isley Jasper Isley - Different Drummer (1987)	Label: Magic Sound Productions as on disc and back, CBS Associated is printed on spines
GEMSMFAN 8th Sep 2019		CD Album Isley Jasper Isley - Caravan Of Love (1985)	Label: Magic Sound Productions as on disc and back, CBS Associated only appears on spines
GEMSMFAN 16th Aug 2019		CD Album Ray Conniff And Billy Butterfield - Just Kiddin' ARound (1994)	this has the post 1990 Columbia logo
GEMSMFAN 4th Aug 2019		CD Album Leo Sayer - Endless Flight (1994)	image 1545514 is the later disc with the F2 prefix, when Capitol distributed Chrysalis. I submitted the VK prefix disc, which is what was submitted. CBS distributed this.
GEMSMFAN 29th Jul 2019		CD Album Billy Joel - Glass Houses (1998)	This was released 10-20-98 ISRC lookup
GEMSMFAN 28th Jun 2019		CD Album ABBA - Waterloo (1990)	RPFiller wrote: CD issue of the 1974 album, originally released in the US on Atlantic Records not true.. where is "Ring Ring"? The original U.S. Atlantic LP had "Ring Ring" included, an alternate version with the saxophones more noticable.
GEMSMFAN 23rd Jun 2019		CD Album Various Artists - 100% Dansband, Volym 1 (1996)	different Tiffany. Link is to Tiffany, the U.S. female 80's singer who had a hit covering, "I Think We're Alone Now".
GEMSMFAN 19th May 2019		CD Album Various Artists - Top Of The Stax: Twenty Greatest Hits (1989)	Funny that you made this "Stax". The catalog number actually is for "Festival". The logo for "Festival" is on the back inlay, just not printed on the disc.
GEMSMFAN 12th May 2019		CD Album Rita Coolidge - Beautiful Evening (2017)	correct Label for this release is Real Gone Music (note prefix "RGM" in cat. no.) see here. 2nd label could be Universal Music Special Products. the large A&M is replica of vinyl record label. Fixed (mod.edit.)
GEMSMFAN 12th May 2019		CD Album Burl Ives - Rudolph The Red-Nosed Reindeer (1995)	credit to vocalion red. there is an alternate bar code for this release.. edited image to replace blurry photograph w/glare with a clearer/sharper image of (later) alternate
GEMSMFAN 21st Apr 2019		CD Album Bananarama - Wow! (1987)	Steel-River-Wet: done
GEMSMFAN 14th Apr 2019		CD Album Bananarama - Wow! (1987)	this is the London label, not Metronome
GEMSMFAN 24th Mar 2019		CD Album Various Artists - Mary Poppins Returns: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack (2018)	why would the Artist on this be, "Soundtrack"? "Various Artists" would make more sense. (Mod Edit) Now Sorted
GEMSMFAN 16th Mar 2019		CD Album Nicolette Larson - Nicolette (1998)	added booklet back,back tray insert & disc scans
GEMSMFAN 23rd Feb 2019		CD Album Bee Gees - Living Eyes	a very cleverly made counterfeit. I say this, because it looks professionally made. Booklet and back inlay insert were printed on good glossy paper, stapled on the fold. Legitimate RSO discs were pressed/manufactured in West Germany by PDO (PolyGram). They were however completely metallic from outer rim to the center hole. This apparently was made with a clear center ring and no matrix numbers, otherwise it would look legit. The label side with RSO red pig looks good. The official disc has a thick black ring printed along the outer rim where the common disclaimer is printed in German around the disc. The jewel case is odd as it is a newer case with a dark grey disc tray with four hollowed out areas, sort of resembling a film reel. The back insert is visible. Cases like that didn't exist when the official disc was released.
GEMSMFAN 21st Jan 2019		CD Album Four Tops - When She Was My Girl (1992)	the Main Image 1490352 is the back cover.. I added the front cover Mod edit: sorted.
GEMSMFAN 16th Jan 2019		CD Album Yes - Fragile (1988)	surprising this wasn't a Target disc
GEMSMFAN 28th Dec 2018		CD Album Kikki Danielsson - Kikkis Bästa (2008)	Track 2-01 was by Chips. Track 2-04 was by Kikki-Bettan-Lotta.
GEMSMFAN 29th Sep 2018		CD Album Various Artists - Oldies But Goodies (1987)	Only 6 of the 17 tracks on this volume are from the original LP compilation. They are: tracks 5, 7, 9, 11, 12 and 17. I guess being that CD's had much more playing time, Original Sound decided to mix the compilations up combining tracks from other volumes in the series. Also when this series was created for compact disc, songs from 70's were mixed into the compilations. I always felt "oldies" were the 50's and possibly the early 60's.. the doo-wop, etc. the era when "Rock'n Roll began (pre-British Invasion). R&B, Jazz, Soul all played a part in creating the new craze. Something kids liked, but parents then didn't growing up in the swing/big band era. In New York City, WCBS-FM was the oldies station and in I believe in the 90's they added in 70's songs. Many listeners didn't listen to them anymore and took to the internet to look for online broadcasts. OBG Vol.4 on LP OBG Vol.4 on cassette
GEMSMFAN 20th Aug 2018		CD Album David Bowie - 1.Outside (The Nathan Adler Diaries: A Hyper Cycle) (2004)	the label is "ISO" or "ISO / Columbia"
GEMSMFAN 23rd Jun 2018		CD Album ABBA - Gracias Por La Musica (2014)	It is worth noting that all the ABBA Universal / Polar Deluxe (Sound & Vision) were issued 2 ways. The first being in a high gloss cardboard thick bi-fold package and second (more than likely the same year) in an all clear jewel case with the hinged flip-out double disc tray. I have the second release on this release and while it has different catalog and bar code numbers, it has the same (catalog number) discs as shown in the 2 images here.
GEMSMFAN 23rd Jun 2018		CD Album ABBA - Gracias Por La Musica (2014)	Surprising that this wasn't done as the "Septima", as the color scheme is for that label and wasn't it released on LP in the Scandanavian countries, on that label?
