kimbozw 30th Jul 2015 | | CD AlbumClannad - Fuaim | this is the Clannad cd which includes the lady later known as ENYA
|
kimbozw 28th Jul 2015 | | CD AlbumClannad - Crann Ull (1988) | Enya's gaelic real name is Eithne I believe so I don't think she's the one listed
There's a Clannad album from 1982 which does include Enya but the title escapes me

kimbozw 3rd Jul 2015 | | CD AlbumAdele - 21 (2011) | or, on your side of the pond, grey :-)

kimbozw 20th Apr 2015 | | CD AlbumDavid Sylvian - Brilliant Trees | came across the original UK CD second hand recently. disc suffering from bronzing in view of the passage of time ...
|

|
kimbozw 14th Apr 2015 | | CD AlbumVarious Artists - Greatest Scottish Album Ever! 2 (2004) | I wonder how many copies of this were pressed.
|
kimbozw 10th Apr 2015 | | CD AlbumYazoo - Upstairs At Eric's (1990) | I picked up this cd second hand today at a charity shop. Surprised to hear on the track IN MY ROOM, recited by a male person, most of the "Lord's prayer".
|
kimbozw 10th Apr 2015 | | CD AlbumJohn Edmond - Toy Train (1995) | Track 6 originally recorded by LAUREN COPLEY.
|
kimbozw 9th Apr 2015 | | CD AlbumJanis Ian - Night Rains (1998) | I should also point out that the 7" single version of FLY TOO HIGH is just over a minute shorter than the version contained on the album.
|
kimbozw 9th Apr 2015 | | CD AlbumJanis Ian - Night Rains (1998) | The first album by Janis Eddy Fink to chart in the USA was in 1967.
Her career peak was at age 24 when the album BETWEEN THE LINES reached #1 on the Billboard Pop Albums chart in the USA on 20 September 1975 for 1 week. Only two other female solo artists reached the top position in 1975 namely Linda Ronstadt and Olivia Newton-John.
In 1979 and 1980 only 2 female solo artists reached the top position, being the same artists in both of those years: Barbra Streisand and Donna Summer. No wonder the two recorded a duet on NO MORE TEARS.
Regrettably the album NIGHT RAINS failed to dent the Billboard Top 200 pop albums chart and was not included on the items bubbling under either.
Janis Ian's final charted album on Billboard was in 1981 and it failed to reach the Top 150. How the mighty were fallen.
Back in the day NIGHT RAINS did manage the following global chart peaks in 1980:
#2 - Holland
#8 - Zimbabwe
#11 - Australia.
If South Africa had had an official album chart list available at the time it would probably have reached the Top 10 there too.
FLY TOO HIGH was the main single from NIGHT RAINS. In the USA although it spent 4 months on the Record World chart it only peaked at #134! It failed to register on the Billboard or Cashbox pop charts. It was however a #1 in South Africa and Zimbabwe and reached the Top 5 in New Zealand and Holland and #7 in Australia.

kimbozw 25th Mar 2015 | | CD AlbumThe Rolling Stones - Stripped (1995) | I can relate. I have a cd or two by other artists which have the same problem.
|
kimbozw 13th Mar 2015 | | CD AlbumThe Who - Who Are You + The Kids Are Alright (2009) | I've seen combinations of this type with the same type of artwork before in South Africa.
|
kimbozw 23rd Jan 2015 | | CD AlbumFrancoise Barriere - Par Temps Calme Et Ensoleillé (1992) | ensoleillé is the correct spelling. there are 3 variations shown here. i think the word means sunlit.
Mod: fixed :-)
|
kimbozw 16th Jan 2015 | | CD AlbumVangelis - Blade Runner (1994) | I was thinking of the album BLADE RUNNER TRILOGY - 25TH ANNIVERSARY - which strictly speaking would be a different album from this. Including such tracks as BR DOWNTOWN, ONE ALONE, etc...
|
kimbozw 15th Jan 2015 | | CD AlbumVangelis - Blade Runner (1994) | there was a later version of this album by Vangelis including extra tracks. Sometime in the noughties i think.
|
kimbozw 11th Nov 2014 | | CD AlbumVarious Artists - 70-Talet Igen! (1992) | Presumably track 10 is a cover version of THE BOXER by Simon & Garfunkel?
|
kimbozw 11th Nov 2014 | | CD AlbumVarious Artists - Svenska 70-Talsklassiker (1991) | Track 16 features backing vocals by the blonde haired lady from ABBA for those interested.
|
kimbozw 30th Oct 2014 | | CD AlbumEnya - And Winter Came (2008) | thank you to sladesounds. a possible new album on the distant horizon ...
|
kimbozw 30th Oct 2014 | | CD AlbumVarious Artists - Sexy Sixties Decade Of Fun (1999) | me too
|
kimbozw 29th Oct 2014 | | CD AlbumEnya - And Winter Came (2008) | 6 years since this one came out. I wonder when we will have some new Enya material. Anyone know?
|
kimbozw 15th Aug 2014 | | CD AlbumMaurane - Toi Du Monde (2000) | The spelling Luypaerts gives away the country of origin - Belgium.
|
kimbozw 14th Aug 2014 | | CD AlbumAgnetha Fältskog - Original Album Classics (2008) | the original set of these CDs in Sweden came with a bonus CD of single B sides and the like
|
kimbozw 14th Aug 2014 | | CD AlbumMaurane - Toi Du Monde (2000) | year of issue? I can relate to track 04 in a business (and spam) sense ...
|
kimbozw 14th Jul 2014 | | CD AlbumABBA - Gracias Por La Musica (1986) | i have now added inner sleeve spanish lyrics, a shot of the disc itself (front) and the rear of the jewel box as well as an autographed front cover. being somewhat of a late starter as far as CD was concerned this was the very first compact disc which i added to my collection, in april 1988. it was a freebie sent to me by a then contact at Polydor in Hamburg.

kimbozw 3rd Jun 2014 | | CD AlbumSantana - Abraxas | heavens, what's the dove on the front cover up to there?
|
kimbozw 2nd Jun 2014 | | CD AlbumABBA - The Visitors (1983) | My copy of this album on CD from Germany was evidently from a later pressing, acquired after 1988. It's good that at least one "fab four" had the first commercial CD release in the world. The correct spelling of the composer and band member's surname is ANDERSSON.
[mod: composers corrected, also Bjorn to Björn]

kimbozw 9th May 2014 | | CD AlbumThe Who - Who's Next (1983) | the musik-sammler.de site is very detailed and interesting
