gregs45s SUBS 31st Oct 2020		CD Album Bobby Hackett - The Chronological Bobby Hackett And His Orchestra 1938 (1996)	For some reason i fancy some beans on toast ;)
gregs45s SUBS 26th Sep 2020		CD Album Stevie Ray Vaughan And Double Trouble - Couldn't Stand The Weather (2010)	[YouTube Video]
gregs45s SUBS 14th May 2020		CD Album Carpenters - The Singles 1969-1973 (1991)	@Louval Hi, i've asked for your rear tray scan (2254701) to be moved to the 1990 release as it belongs there (same barcode).
gregs45s SUBS 20th Apr 2020		CD Album Rod Stewart - Vagabond Heart (1991)	@The_Vinyl_Junkie ?? I'd have thought that was a pretty straightforward request?, the CD in question must have been made/designated International in error, as it says, this "This Cat/barcode combination was only ever issued in Europe, please change to Europe" I don't understand what you mean?? You might want to check the wording with regards to "International" forum as well, something is International when it involves two or more countries ;) Anyhow, i'm out of any future discussions on this International debacle, and i'll leave it all up to you. (which, i'm sure you'd prefer anyway;) Ciao.
gregs45s SUBS 19th Apr 2020		CD Album Rod Stewart - Vagabond Heart (1991)	@The_Vinyl_Junkie Hold on a minute there, i was merely trying to offer up a suggestion to help sort out your Australian problem, and i don't need reminding where the earth's continents are thank you, i am well aware where they are, and at no point did i suggest that International be replaced by Europe, i said they should be split into their respective countries, and always have done, you and the other Mods/Admin need to get your heads together on this one, the directive clearly needs to be reviewed, and finally sort it out, it's not a problem for me, and frankly, it's becoming tiresome. i just add CD's as i always have, and will continue to do so until advised otherwise, it's no skin off my nose, you guys sort it out please.
gregs45s SUBS 18th Apr 2020		CD Album Rod Stewart - Vagabond Heart (1991)	Lee, i can understand where you're coming from, and this could do with a resolution. If we are to make a special case for Australian releases, which we should, and enter/register a US/European CD also as an Australian release as previously suggested, then, on average, you will only have 3 entries that share the same label/Cat.No./barcode combination, a US entry, a European entry and an Australian entry, in fact, in most case 2 entries, the European and Australian. or US and Australian. I'm sure the Moderators could cope with this if accepted practice, and as such, that there will be cases where a European/US CD has been entered first as Australian, and that later, the same European or US entry may also be made using the same label/Cat.No./barcode combination. and that all 2/3 are to be accepted under their respective flags. This is surely the only way?, if we are against grouping together on the same page (which i think the majority of us are now), then the only alternative is to enter each country separately, and if we are to do this, a special case must be made for Australian releases to allow the European/US stock releases to be added as Australian IMHO. Whilst adding CD's to this site over a few years, it has become apparent that in the main, any releases sharing EXACTLY the same label/Cat.No./barcode combination and issued in two or more countries, were, firstly, in the minority (currently less than 1% of total CD's on system, blimey!, someone's been working hard to reduce these haven't they, it was much higher as i seem to remember?) and secondly, of those, the majority were only issued in two countries, (Europe and the US) being the most common, there are some that were issued in 3 countries, even four or five, but these are by far the minority, generally only big artists like the Beatles/Stones, were issued in 4 or more countries in reality, and so, i see no problem in splitting these entries with five or so countries into their respective separate 5 country's entries. i.e, it would not be such a big a job as we think "de-interrnationalising", as the majority of entries would be on average just two splits. I "de-internationalise" when i can, i asked for one the other day for example that was made International to be made European, as that is what the actual CD was, and suggested when the Mexican release comes along (that was the second country that shared the same label/Cat.No./barcode combination) that it be entered separately. in the name of common sense;) I hope something can be arranged with the Moderators that allows you to enter any Euro/US CD's that we also released in Aus to be added as Australian along the guidelines suggested above. good luck
gregs45s SUBS 18th Apr 2020		CD Album Jennifer Rush - Jennifer Rush (International Version) (1990)	The thought did occur that whilst men may be happy to start looking like Catweasel, if this lock- in continues much longer, that women certainly would be wanting to do something about their hair as there are no hairdresser's open, and, whilst men will not mind their partners trimming their hair, i'm not so sure women would feel the same about letting the men cut theirs;) and so, i could envisage midnight hairdresser's (illegally) flitting from one house to another in the depth of night :)
gregs45s SUBS 17th Apr 2020		CD Album Jennifer Rush - Jennifer Rush (International Version) (1990)	;) To help support the weight of the shoulder pads maybe ;)
gregs45s SUBS 14th Apr 2020		CD Album Rod Stewart - Vagabond Heart (1991)	@The_Vinyl_Junkie "While we await a change, what about adding an Australian entry where the European/US was issued in Aus, i.e, a duplicate entry, same as the European/US only under the Australian flag, with notes, where available, of release dates etc. (of course, this would have to be run by the Moderators). I'm sure space isn't a problem?, and thereby, they would be indicated as Australian releases, whilst still retaining the original European/US entry." "This was done by a member only to find that it had been deleted as a duplicate entry without any explanation or advice to the member." But did anyone ask the Moderators first if it was OK, via the Forum?
gregs45s SUBS 13th Apr 2020		CD Album Lionel Richie - Can't Slow Down	Could a Mod please link all 5 versions of this album together, it's weighted, and so won't let me ta
gregs45s SUBS 13th Apr 2020		CD Album Rod Stewart - Vagabond Heart (1991)	@Lee Wrecker I think that the question has never been whether European/US CD's were issued in Australia at regular prices (not imports) there by making them effectively Australian releases, that of course, is a fact, but, rather, how we indicate that on this site. You know from old Lee that i have never been a fan of the "International" catch-all, as, once you take a European/US CD and designate it thus, it totally loses it's identity in one hit. A European CD which i might have entered earlier for example, gets changed to International, and you have no idea why, unless you physically go to the entry page, where there may be if you're lucky, a few comments as to what other country it was issued in, and why it's been changed. I say, have an entry for each country, much simpler in the long run. There are (until a new system is introduced) no country indicators at present, and again, i have put forward a multiple flag option as one possible solution. So that is why, for the time being perhaps, i did suggest just adding to the notes of European/US CD's that were also issued in Aus, rather, than change them to International, until we have a way of adding an Australian flag (or wherever) It is disconcerting to find a European CD you might have added, "lost" in an "International" bin and wondering where it has gone. While we await a change, what about adding an Australian entry where the European/US was issued in Aus, i.e, a duplicate entry, same as the European/US only under the Australian flag, with notes, where available, of release dates etc. (of course, this would have to be run by the Moderators). I'm sure space isn't a problem?, and thereby, they would be indicated as Australian releases, whilst still retaining the original European/US entry. (and the debate goes on....and on.....:)
gregs45s SUBS 7th Apr 2020		CD Album Tangerine Dream - Tyranny Of Beauty (1995)	Aha, seeing those you added reminded me where i had seen "CD-i" before, we still get them donated to the charity shop where i work occasionally, i will try to gather a few together to add to those already on the system when normality returns. It looks like you already requested that "CD-i" be added to DVD/ Blu-ray World, and perhaps we could do with it on CD Album World as well, now it seems that they can also contain audio tracks, that are playable on normal CD players. One for the Moderators.
gregs45s SUBS 7th Apr 2020		CD Album Toto - Kingdom Of Desire (1992)	a case of two releases mixed here i think;) they are ... 471633 2 / COL 471633 2 with barcode 5099747163395 and another release .... 471633 9 / COL 471633 9 with barcode 5099747163326 option perhaps easier to leave tc-630's Disc here under 471633 9 / COL 471633 9 and create a new entry for 471633 2 / COL 471633 2 with barcode 5099747163395 (1992) (not on system yet) using tc-630's rear tray artwork and nig31el's Disc, which belong together.
gregs45s SUBS 7th Apr 2020		CD Album Tangerine Dream - Tyranny Of Beauty (1995)	Not that i can think of off hand MM, pretty sure this is the only one i have, i think it was better known for video games?, introduced by Philips in 1991, but all but abandoned by 1996 apparently. I do vaguely remember seeing the Philips machines in the mid 90's, another one of those formats that didn't quite take off perhaps.
gregs45s SUBS 7th Apr 2020		CD Album 10,000 Maniacs - In My Tribe (1987)	@ whitewhale 1965 Hi, yours is a different club release, which just uses the cat no E2 60738 and so will need it's own separate entry, the original USA entry here was right (right barcode/cat no). (there is also another Columbia House club edition which omits the track "Peace Train" here)
gregs45s SUBS 7th Apr 2020		CD Album Mike Bloomfield, Al Kooper, Steve Stills - Super Session (1987)	One of these 6 entries is "weighted" so it won't let me link all 6 albums, could a Mod please link them all, ta [Mod: done]
gregs45s SUBS 7th Apr 2020		CD Album Mike And The Mechanics - Living Years (1988)	I notice that "Mike + The Mechanics" and "Mike And The Mechanics" haven't yet been put together.
gregs45s SUBS 6th Apr 2020		CD Album Tangerine Dream - Tyranny Of Beauty (1995)	MODERATORS PLEASE NOTE : This is a Philips CD-i, which we don't yet have as an option on the site yet i believe?. I've added it under "Other Digital" for the moment, perhaps we could add CD-i to the drop-down options?. I've entered it under albums as it relates to the "Tyranny Of Beauty" Tangerine Dream album, and has a fair bit of content related to that album on the 1st data track, including...photographic/video material, an interactive interview, and list of their recordings. Track 2 duration is 15:14, track 3 is 3:43 Happy if you think it should live elsewhere however.
gregs45s SUBS 3rd Apr 2020		CD Album Blue Öyster Cult - Extraterrestrial Live	The barcode 07464310632 does not belong to this album CGK 37946, but to this album. kab2112's barcode on the rear tray artwork is correct for this Cat.No. however, so the barcode just needs to be changed to 07464379462 and all will be right. (it's just a barcode mix up) [mod: corrected]
gregs45s SUBS 3rd Apr 2020		CD Album Tangerine Dream - Rubycon (1995)	Added more scans, needs a re-shuffle (correction submitted) ta.
gregs45s SUBS 2nd Apr 2020		CD Album The Doors - Morrison Hotel (1984)	"One of us...one of us...one of us"...;)
gregs45s SUBS 2nd Apr 2020		CD Album The Doors - Morrison Hotel (1984)	Nice one MM, the force is once again balanced. I hope i didn't come across as patronising MM?, i realise it will take a little while to get back in the swing of things after you have been away a while. Will you have to re-do the initiation ceremony in the deep dark woods with Dr.Doom again?, or will the original blood letting suffice? :)
gregs45s SUBS 2nd Apr 2020		CD Album The Doors - Morrison Hotel (1984)	Almost MM:) but all Syd Vliet's scans need to be moved to the European (1984) entry, leaving only the two fixbutte's scans here on this entry. And change date on the European entry from 1984 to 1985, et Voila;) (And USA is right for this one btw)
gregs45s SUBS 1st Apr 2020		CD Album The Doors - Morrison Hotel (1984)	Yep MM, spotted it, ( i left a note...at bottom;) All Syd Vliet's scans can be moved to that entry, just add the secondary Cat.No,so it reads ...242 080 / EKS 75007-2, and you have to decide between Syd's rear tray artwork or kab2112's (Syd's image 336439) And amend the Cat.No. on this US release so it reads.... EKS 75007-2 / 042 080.... and change country from International to USA (Note the 1984 date can be removed from the European entry until a date is known)
gregs45s SUBS 1st Apr 2020		CD Album Tangerine Dream - Force Majeure (1995)	Added UK fold-out artwork scans (same as Netherlands) and UK rear tray artwork and Disc (EMI Swindon).
gregs45s SUBS 1st Apr 2020		CD Album Vangelis - Voices (1995)	Nothing spectacular here perhaps, but a nice chill-out album nonetheless.
gregs45s SUBS 1st Apr 2020		CD Album Sam And Dave - The Best Of Sam & Dave (1998)	Lee & Phil Gents, the last i heard weren't we going to stop using International as a catch-all?, this, and many like it, were/are European releases, shipped to Australia, and, whilst i appreciate that the same product was also on sale in Australia, do we really need to make these International?, as soon as you do that, it loses it's identity. It goes from being European, which it is, to a mystery that only people who know what they are looking at can determine. Much better surely, simply to add to notes "Also on sale in Australia at a regular price", or such like, until a multiple flag system (as i have previously suggested) or similar can be put in place to identify exactly which countries the CD was issued in, much less confusing for all our members surely?. I personally, have stopped making thing International quite a few months back (and will continue to do so now) when, (i thought) some sort of a consensus was reached to agree to stop using it.
gregs45s SUBS 31st Mar 2020		CD Album Autumn Of Communion - Autumn Of Communion (2012)	Temporary images only as this one's still sealed. Another good ambient album 9/10.
gregs45s SUBS 31st Mar 2020		CD Album The Doors - Morrison Hotel (1984)	Yes indeed, early Targets can be tricky, personally, i only have two, yourself?
gregs45s SUBS 31st Mar 2020		CD Album The Doors - Morrison Hotel (1984)	With all due respect MM, they should really be split as outlined below, neither Discs, nor artwork were interchangeable in this particular case, honest!;)
