gregs45s SUBS 22nd Jul 2021		CD Album Norah Jones - Come Away With Me (2002)	Thanks MM :)
gregs45s SUBS 21st Jul 2021		CD Album Norah Jones - Come Away With Me (2002)	Hi PhilMH/Lee I think you're probably both right, that the copy i have is indeed a NZ release, it's probably just another case of European artwork being used for a NZ release, as has happened many times with Australian issues. As you point out, it would have made no sense to get extra Discs made in NZ when Europe must have been making them by the bucket load. This was bought second hand, so i can't confirm Disc/artwork are right together, so i will put in a request to create a separate NZ entry for now, and hopefully someone who has bought one from NZ can confirm/deny either way. Cheers
gregs45s SUBS 17th Jul 2021		CD Album Norah Jones - Come Away With Me (2002)	A curio, i found that the Disc in my copy of this European release said "Disc Made In NZ", and it is indeed made/pressed by Stebbing of Auckland New Zealand. My artwork matches the artwork shown here exactly, and so it is the European release I've also checked on Discogs, and there is no New Zealand copy, only two Australian ones but both those Discs were made in Australia and have different artwork. I can only imagine that due to popularity of this release, they had extra Discs pressed in NZ to cover demand.
gregs45s SUBS 17th Jul 2021		CD Album Weather Report - Heavy Weather (2007)	Discogs has it as Italian, it has "Sony Music Entertainment Italy S.p.A" on the artwork, so i'm assuming it's Italian. Are we still listing Italian releases separately?, or has that changed recently?Quite happy if you want to make it European, but then wouldn't all the other Italian entries have to be changed as well?
gregs45s SUBS 15th Jul 2021		CD Album Weather Report - Heavy Weather (2007)	Just checked with a friend (who's CD this is) as to whether the CD (which carries the USA/Canadian Cat.No.CK 65108) was correct for this release, and he confirmed that it was indeed the Disc that came with this copy. (Annoyingly, Discogs has no Disc image/info for this release, so i can't confirm)
gregs45s SUBS 15th Jul 2021		CD Album Weather Report - Heavy Weather (2007)	Anyone know the correct term for these card cases where they only pull out so far? ("slipcase" seems too obvious a choice:) (I would think that a lot of these have been damaged by people being a bit too keen and pulling out the tab too far:) Oh, check that, just spotted the DBS on the back...."DBS" = "Discbox Slider"
gregs45s SUBS 12th Jul 2021		CD Album Donna Summer - Walk Away (Collector's Edition	With a nod to Arie 1962, i've added the "Special Price" artwork which has a few variations on the rear tray artwork and Disc as well. (I placed the open artwork on a buff card background on Image 2695009 just to show the cutaway detail)
gregs45s SUBS 11th Jul 2021		CD Album Phil Thornton - Tibetan Meditation (2003)	This is sooo relaxing, i fell asleep twice whilst entering it:), it certainly does what it says on the ti..........Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
gregs45s SUBS 10th Jun 2021		CD Album Hothouse Flowers - Home (1990)	If i have made a previous comment to change to International then i'm pretty sure that must have been a while ago now (?), when the International thing was the way we were doing things, and, if that's the case then i apologise, but i have made many such comments before, but they were relevent/correct at the time of writing, but now/fairly recently i thought things had changed, and we weren't making things International to aid searches. Please don't patronise me MM, i am fully aware that the European grouping of course constitutes more than one country (usually), and if that two or more countries are involved then by definition it's International, what i am saying is that surely we should stop grouping together on this site, or has logic totally gone AWOL :) (The Canadian/Australian entries only are an exact match if you REALLY feel the need to lump these two together, then you're the Mod, but to what end?, both country ID's will be lost in the process for the sake of making two entries into one) (Anyhow, i did what i said i wasn't going to do by getting involved in this whole International affair, and, sure enough, it has only brought stress again, i should have learned by now, so i'm outy))
gregs45s SUBS 10th Jun 2021		CD Album Hothouse Flowers - Home (1990)	? I thought we were going to stop making entries International,? Because as soon as that happens the entry then loses it's true origin, i.e, UK/European/US etc. Why not leave this as European and When the Canadian one comes along it can be entered as Canadian, and the Australian left as it is as Australian, surely three separate entries under the correct countries is far better than bunging it all in the "International" bin where they effectively lose their identity and are therefore lost in the system. If someone wants to look for the Canadian release for example, they are unlikely to look at an International entry, it's just complicating things further and making them harder to find. This has been discussed many times before, and i thought it was getting towards being sorted. Please don't go changing thing to International just for the sake of it, what's the point?, when you can already have 3 correctly identified/matched images/entries to their respective countries. (The Canadian release by the way is only an exact match to the Australian entry as the label is London/Polydor.) So, surely, it's worth keeping them separate for the sake of amalgamating just two releases in this and virtually all cases. In most cases of potential "International" exact (Label/Barcode/Cat.No.) matches, it's usually only two or three CD's that have EXACTLY the same Label/Barcode/Cat.No in my experience, so why can't we just leave them under their two or three respective countries?, surely, you're not running out of server space already deep within the mountains of Switzerland ;) (If it ain't broke...)
gregs45s SUBS 8th Jun 2021		CD Album Jethro Tull - The Broadsword And The Beast (1993)	With a nod to Collsrt, 3 more scans added. (1 for moderation).
gregs45s SUBS 8th Jun 2021		CD Album Queen - Absolute Greatest (2009)	Final scan added.
gregs45s SUBS 4th Jun 2021		CD Album Ennio Morricone - Faccia A Faccia / La Resa Dei Conti (Original Soundtracks) (1995)	A fortunate find in a chazza today, 50p! :)
gregs45s SUBS 3rd Jun 2021		CD Album David Bowie - The Next Day (2013)	With a nod to Paul Vinyl, a couple of scans of the 6-way fold-out artwork added.
gregs45s SUBS 3rd Jun 2021		CD Album Talking Heads - The Best Of Talking Heads (2004)	With a nod to Quad5point 1/kab2112, alternate front sticker scan added.
gregs45s SUBS 3rd Jun 2021		CD Album James Galway, Tiempo Libre - O'Reilly Street (2008)	This one's still sealed, so feel free to replace images.
gregs45s SUBS 30th May 2021		CD Album Hanz Zimmer - Thin Red Line (1999)	One of those films that i didn't recognise immediately by title. but the pictures inside of the actors reminded me. not a bad film as i recall. Set in Guadalcanal in WW2
gregs45s SUBS 19th May 2021		CD Album The Beatles / Tony Sheridan - Savage Young Beatles	The other Romance entry already on the system,here should perhaps be made a boot as well ? as Discogs has some other Romance releases down as unofficial.
gregs45s SUBS 17th May 2021		CD Album The Selecter - Made In Britain (2011)	Pauline does a pretty good cover of Amy's Back To Black on this one. Feel free to replace cover image as this one's signed. (The one on Discogs is signed too funny enough, probably available at gigs perhaps)
gregs45s SUBS 15th May 2021		CD Album Hunting Lodge - Hunting Lodge (2003)	Southampton based Industrial/Metal band.
gregs45s SUBS 14th May 2021		CD Album Various Artists - AngelHeaded Hipster (2020)	As is usual with these tributes, there's good and bad here, but overall, not a bad collection of covers.
gregs45s SUBS 30th Apr 2021		CD Album The KLF - The White Room (1991)	Discogs has this as a Scandinavian release, but, as we don't have a Scandinavian option, and the fact that it mentions that it was also distributed in the UK on the back, i have gone for the European option. "COMA Records" COMA is an acronym for 'Copenhagen Offers More Action'. Danish techno/rave label, which existed 1989-1994 as a division of Mega Records and released records throughout Scandinavia. Established by "Bageren fra Hobro", Kenneth Bager (Dr. Baker). This label and especially Kenneth Bager brought the whole evolving dance/techno scene of the time to the Danish people; styles and genres like rave, balearic and garage became known through the COMA label. Artists included Dr. Baker, The KLF, The Shamen, TBM 1, A Split - Second, Miro (2), Mental Generation, Leila K and many more. Due to disagreements (royalties) with Mega Records, the COMA label was closed in 1994. Parent Label: Mega Records Contact Info: COMA Records Address 1989-1994: Mega Records Frederiksborggade 31 DK-1360 Copenhagen K. "

gregs45s SUBS 13th Apr 2021		CD Album Chic - The Best Of Chic Volume 2 (1992)	With a nod to Leonard, a scan of the front of the booklet with titles, which curiously yours don't seem to have, you might have a rarity there ;), and a scan of the Disc also added.
gregs45s SUBS 26th Mar 2021		CD Album Queen - The Miracle (1989)	Made In UK Disc added.

gregs45s SUBS 7th Nov 2020		CD Album The Beatles - Please Please Me (1987)	@goodbear66 Hi, just looking through the many variants of this release on Discogs, and your 1993 Disc variation (image 336872) with "Stereo" is a misprint, not worth a bundle though unfortunately, the median price just being £3.62, mind you, hang onto it for another 20 years and who knows:)
