gregs45s SUBS ● 5th Jul 2022		CD Album PJ Harvey - White Chalk (2021)	Temporary images only as this one's still sealed, feel free to replace any/all scans.
gregs45s SUBS ● 5th Jul 2022		CD Album The Omega Syndicate - Same Synths... Different Day! (2006)	Berlin-School Electronica not unlike Tangerine Dream. "Collaborative project of David Gurr and Xan Alexander with other known EM musicians that existed from 2004 to 2011. There were other syndicate members besides official that played in sessions and live shows."
gregs45s SUBS ● 3rd Jul 2022		CD Album Jimi Hendrix - People, Hell And Angels (2013)	With a nod to SteveG11, a few more scans added.
gregs45s SUBS ● 30th Jun 2022		CD Album Tangerine Dream - Cyclone (2019)	This was the first TD album to feature vocals (Steve Jolliffe), and, as such, alienated a lot of fans. Hence, the first two tracks which have vocals are closer to Prog than the traditional Berlin-School electronica, but track 3 "Madrigal Meridian", returns to the norm, which is somewhat like "Stratosfear".
gregs45s SUBS ● 29th Jun 2022		CD Album B.B.E. - Games (1998)	[YouTube Video]
gregs45s SUBS ● 29th Jun 2022		CD Album B.B.E. - Games (1998)	Surprised to find that B.B.E.'s one and only album wasn't already on the system (unless i missed it;), tis now :)
gregs45s SUBS ● 29th Jun 2022		CD Album Nicholas Gunn - Return To Grand Canyon	Even though that this one is made in Japan/Germany according to Disc/artwork, i have put it under China as the ISRC country code is CN (China). I think this is another one of those unofficial releases from China, as, if you gurgle the barcode, about five different artists come up using that barcode, all of them being Chinese copys.
gregs45s SUBS ● 29th Jun 2022		CD Album Peter Gabriel - OVO The Millennium Show (2000)	The packaging on this one is so tight, it's virtually impossible to get all the items back in the outer card slipcover without damaging it in some way.
gregs45s SUBS ● 28th Jun 2022		CD Album Stevie Ray Vaughan And Double Trouble - Before The Flood (2013)	Tracks 1-10 are purported to be the first "lost album" from Stevie Ray And Double Trouble, it's really interesting to listen to these early versions of his staples, you can hear the differences in the technique of this already talented guitarist. (Good sound quality on this one 8/10) (I've put in a request to change this to a "Bootleg")(my mistake;)
gregs45s SUBS ● 25th Jun 2022		CD Album Queen - Innuendo (1991)	With a nod to dr.pepper 1952, couple more scans added. Have requested that this entry be made European also All else matches scans shown exactly (Also could a MOD link this to the USA/other releases ta)
gregs45s SUBS ● 24th Jun 2022		CD Album Electric Light Orchestra Part II, The Orchestra - Anthology (2009)	A self release, hence no label/Cat. No. From Discogs..... " Electric Light Orchestra Part II was formed in 1988 by drummer Bev Bevan, a founding member of the original Electric Light Orchestra, the successful progressive pop group led by frontman Jeff Lynne from 1971 into the mid-1980s. After Lynne officially dissolved the band, Bevan assembled a new line-up including vocalist Neil Lockwood, keyboardist Eric Troyer and bassist Pete Haycock to tour under the Electric Light Orchestra banner; Lynne soon filed suit against the group, the resulting settlement appending the "Part II" tag to any new albums or live performances. Their self-titled debut LP followed in 1991; a year later they issued a live album featuring new renditions of their classic hits. ELO Part II was active from 1988–1999. Due to Bev Bevan selling his rights to the ELO name to Jeff Lynne the band could not continue under the name ELO Part II. The remaining members, however, recruited drummer Gordon Townsend and decided to continue as The Orchestra (3) who continue to tour up to the present day. " I realised while i was entering this that the band name "The Orchestra" may cause some problems with regard to searches etc., but this was one of the manifestations of ELO so hope it's OK.
gregs45s SUBS ● 21st Jun 2022		CD Album Diana Ross - I'm Still Waiting & All The Great Hits (1990)	@Helen Willemse Hi This particular release is really helpful when it comes to countries of issue, do you see on the rear tray artwork (back) the French retail price codes... D : QB F : RC 650 UK : QB D = Germany (Deutschland) F = France UK = UK So we know for a fact that this one was issued in (at least) these 3 countries, so = Europe French retail price codes were used for a while on CD's sold in Europe to tell the retailer what record company/distributor to pay at the till point in shops, as we did not use this system in the UK, any release with these codes generally indicate it was sold in Europe, but sometimes, the UK and Europe as well. Not all retail price codes were prefixed with the country code however, so it's normally 1/2/3 letters followed by 2/3 digits, i.e, "PY 500" is a common one and is Polygram, in these cases, if it has a retail price code, i always enter them as European as a rough rule of thumb, and then, sometime in the future they could hopefully be narrowed down to specific European counties. here's a partial list... List of known French company price code letters AD = Auvidis ADE = Adès AE = Arabella Eurodisc AG = Agorila AR = Afro-Rythmes ARC = Arcade France S.à.r.l. AT or ATK = Atoll Music BA = Barclay BAL = La Baleine BM = BMG BPE = Baillemont Productions Distribution CA = Carrere CB = CBS / Sony Music CC = Disques Concord CM = Le Chant Du Monde CO = COGEDEP D or DAN = Danceteria DEG = DEG Music DG = Kuklos DH = Discograph DI or DIS = Discodis DK = Mélodie Distribution EUP = Europierre EV = Eva (8) / Lolita EW = EastWest FB = Free Bird FOO = Madrigal FP = Société Française de Productions Phonographiques GM or GMG = GMG GP = IPG HM = Harmonia Mundi IHL = IHL Distribution IM = Impact (2) JU = Just'In Distribution LA = Laurence Records M = Musicast Distribution M7 = Média 7 MAM = MAM Productions / Arcadès MD = Moradisc MI = Milan MU = Musidisc ND = Night & Day NR = New Rose NS = Nouveau Style OMD = OMD (3) P12 = Point 12 PG = Phonogram PM = Pathé Marconi EMI POL = Polydor PS = PIAS France PY = PolyGram RC = RCA / BMG RD = Rythmo-Disc SA = Safari Ambiance SC = Socadisc SD = Sonodisc SM = Studio SM SP = Sonopresse TCI = Teldec Classics International GmbH TM = Tele Music TZ = Taizé UN = Universal (note: also used by Unidisc (7) on some cassettes) VG = Vogue WAG = Wagram Music WE = WEA or WEA Filipacchi Music WM = WMD Hope that's of some help

gregs45s SUBS ● 17th Jun 2022		CD Album Tori Amos - Scarlet's Walk (2002)	With a nod to sgt.pepper, some scans added.
gregs45s SUBS ● 16th Jun 2022		CD Album Billie Eilish - Happier Than Ever (2021)	[YouTube Video] [YouTube Video] I enjoy Billie's voice, and i like the way attention has been paid to the structure of each track by her and her brother, making each track different enough from the last meaning listening is not tiresome.
gregs45s SUBS ● 16th Jun 2022		CD Album Grateful Dead - Blues For Allah (2006)	Great sound quality on this reissue.
gregs45s SUBS ● 15th Jun 2022		CD Album ABBA - The Very Best Of ABBA (1989)	With a nod to mickgoater, a few more scans added. (there is a printing error on the rear tray artwork (all shifted to left)
gregs45s SUBS ● 15th Jun 2022		CD Album Snoop Doggy Dogg - Doggystyle (2001)	There are at least 6 variations of the UK 2001 remaster, the two distibuted ny RMG seem to be the scarcer.
gregs45s SUBS ● 13th Jun 2022		CD Album Dire Straits And Mark Knopfler - The Best Of Dire Straits And Mark Knopfler (2005)	A nice package, reasonably informative book. (the inner hard back book uses the same images as the outer slipcover)
gregs45s SUBS ● 12th Jun 2022		CD Album The Rock Of Travolta - My Band's Better Than Yours (2001)	Cool band name, one of the band members is Dave Travolta :) (i can relate to track 7 ;)
gregs45s SUBS ● 12th Jun 2022		CD Album Steve Winwood - Roll With It (1988)	I've added this separately as it's designated a "First Day Special Edition".
gregs45s SUBS ● 11th Jun 2022		CD Album Various Artists - Grey's Anatomy (2007)	Temporary image only as this one's still sealed, feel free to replace any/all scans

gregs45s SUBS ● 9th Jun 2022		CD Album Various Artists - Top Gun (1999)	Temporary scans only as this one's still sealed, please feel free to delete any/all scans. (Is that right that the new version is being contested, as they did not obtain the rights?)
gregs45s SUBS ● 8th Jun 2022		CD Album Echoboy - Elektrik Soul Psymphonie (2004)	This is a PMCD (Premaster CD) from Abbey Road Studios of the stock album i have just added. I have not come across one of these until now, i think this is the CD that the studio sends to the pressing plant ?, as this has track times/slots, CD text info etc, i'm not sure what "PQ Duration" and "PQ Time" both represent, anyone? It comes in a black "AMARAY" case about 2cm thick Interesting to note the studio date of 18 Nov 2004, and the stock release date of 20 June 2005. (Safe to say Dom at Earworm didn't get this one back ;)
gregs45s SUBS ● 8th Jun 2022		CD Album Echoboy - Elektrik Soul Psymphonie (2005)	Temporary images only as this one's still sealed, feel free to replace any/all scans.
gregs45s SUBS ● 8th Jun 2022		CD Album Joe Francis - The Sun Sessions	Couldn't find much out about this one, i believe it is by Joseph Francis from Winter Moon ?, that's only a guess though. I think it's a self release...that is...unless "Lo-Fi" is a label, but i can't find it so perhaps not ;) talented nonetheless.
gregs45s SUBS ● 5th Jun 2022		CD Album Joe Bonamassa - Blues Deluxe (2005)	[YouTube Video] With a nod to PCB5394, i've added some slightly larger scans for moderation.
