CD Album
Earth, Wind And Fire - Electric Universe (2004)
Same thing on the Obi with the DSD Mastering. It's a marketing thing..
If there is anyone here who can read Japanse, it would be nice if he or she could put the translation in the comments. I wonder what fairy tale they are using to make people buy expensive remasters that are not hahaha!

I worked in a high end audiostore, people... they were making people crazy with these thing and still are. A 62 euro CD.. that sounds like recording a tape in the red, put a term with bits and Khz and they will buy it no matter how it sounds. Admitting it is of course something the audiophile does not do.

Earth, Wind And Fire - Electric Universe (1983)
Notice how on almost every version ElectricNation like that but was put as 2 words on the single and 12-inch.

CD Album
Earth, Wind And Fire - Faces (2006)
Don't be fooled with the DSD Mastering, it's left behind from the SACD releases.
In some Japan releases are the US booklets reused.
DSD is only for SACD, not regular CD's plus you will never hear the difference.

Earth, Wind And Fire - Powerlight (1983)
No barcode. Obi got lost in time.. but I know that there was no barcode on it.
Fall in love with me is slightly different.

CD Album
Earth, Wind And Fire - Powerlight (1983)
Funky thing about this album is that there are multiple versions of Fall In Love With Me.
LP version was different from CD version. EU version was different from US version.
There was a Special Remix Extended in 1983 5:51 mins. A 5:25 mins and 5:55 mins version.
Love this song, no matter what version, it's one of my favorites!

Earth, Wind And Fire - I Am (2006)
Thick cardboard gatefold sleeve. To thick to scan the inside without damaging the cover.

CD Album
Earth, Wind And Fire - Last Days And Time (1988)
Composer is not EWF on every track. Link follows.
Track 3 is a cover from the group "Bread" written by David Gates to just name one.
The composers are on the label of your disc..

They did not list the interludes as tracks.

CD Album
Earth, Wind And Fire - I Am (1986)
This one is also from 1986 if I am not mistaken. I had all these releases back then. A few were released at the same time, same year as The Final from Wham! I remember getting them all together. Shopping spree LOL!
Same numbers and typical 80's label. I wish I had photographic memory ..

CD Album
Earth, Wind And Fire - Gratitude (1986)
In the 80's it often happened that CD's were pressed in Japan for the rest of the world. The capacity in Europe, UK and USA at the time was small for the pressing manufacturers. If I am correct this version has "Printed In Holland" on the covers somewhere? If so, it was released in 1986.

I used to have it, lost it (stolen) and bought it later again.

CD Album
Various Artists - New Jack Swing Mastercuts Volume 2 (1992)
My Perogative is the 8 minute 12" version, not a radio edit. That is a little misprint on the back cover, see the track in the booklet. I have the same CD (up for sale at the moment) and checked :-)

Erykah Badu - Mama's Gun (2001)
named red disc 2 by accident, of course it is disc 1.

14th Sep 2022
CD Album
Diana Ross And The Supremes - Essential Diana Ross & The Supremes (2020)
I totally agree with you Roger, but it happens a lot. But what annoys me even more is The original Supremes on the cover (before '67) and 70's + after 67 tracks on the disc.
Even worse is, original Supremes on the cover and all songs rerecorded by FLOS hahaha!

I just got this one that you submitted in the mailbox and will check the tracks. Unfortunately the 2013 UK compilation is not available anymore, even though it was rereleased last year.
Can't wait to check this one out :-)

CD Album
Akon - Trouble (2004)
I have put on June 2004 because every I read was this date. The P&C on the cover however is 2003. Delay? Mistake?
Discogs has this Cat# on 2003 as well..
I gave up and entered 2004.. if anyone knows what is what, please hollar!

Rick James - The Flag (1986)
Lyrics inside booklet

Helen Willemse
5th Sep 2022
CD Album
Rick James - Street Songs [Deluxe Edition] (2001)
Temptations and Stevie Wonder featuring on Superfreak?
Temps as background and handclaps, in that case you need to add Marvin Gaye as well.
Stevie Wonder is on Mr. Policeman wit the harmonica but he's not mentioned there ;-)

One of the Temps was his uncle so of course they helped him out. But they're background vocalists, that's it. Burried in the mix :-) It's a Rick James solo song.

Did anyone notice that on some copies "A Different Corner" is a different version? Mono and no aaaaaaaaaaaaaaah, guitar... a stripped down version.
