Magic Marmalade 7th Sep 2021		CD Album Various Artists - The One & Only (2005)	[YouTube Video]
Magic Marmalade 2nd Sep 2021		CD Album Hoodoo Gurus - Kinky (1991)	Feel free to change it Leonard. [Done]
Magic Marmalade 2nd Sep 2021		CD Album Fleetwood Mac - Rumours (2013)	If you have the Mexican issue Lee, we will be both happy, and grateful to receive your new entry for it... Thank You! As far as the entry and images on this page are concerned, I've perused the images here, and cannot see any reference to anything, with regard to either manufacture or distribution, outside Europe. kab made the entry, HelBic and rustineil added images... ...all of these members are resident in Europe, and indeed, the UK, and so it is both natural, and acceptable for them to add entries / images according to the best of their knowledge.... not, I assume, being versed in the distribution practices of major labels or their corporate infrastructure. Fortunately, this site is designed to work in this very way - hence the ability to make a request for correction if need be, which you are free to use any time if need be, perhaps, because you know better, or are in possession of facts others are not. The alternative is, that nobody makes any entries, because they are too frightened of "making a mistake", thereby setting the standard that they must know all and everything about the major label distribution network for the globe over, which, I would humbly suggest nobody does. ...From here, no entries are made, and there is no way establishing such facts, as no evidence (entries) are available to make comparisons between, and determine differences. This is an open forum/ site, which welcomes anyone's best efforts, either in the time and effort they apply in making entries or adding images... or indeed, bring whatever knowledge they have, to whatever degree they have it, to bear... and we are grateful for ALL of this, and don't want to put people off. With regards this entry then, if you state there is a separate issue of this for Australia, then quite rightly, we don't need to alter to International on that basis... so perhaps, then, you could help me out by showing which countries outside the EU this particular version was available in, in order to make the determination to change to International? ...Where in the inlay images provided it shows this information? ....Was the Canadian issue available in Europe, or any territory outside Canada? .......Should a separate entry be made for Canada therefore on the strength of this? .........If you have the Canadian issue there in Australia... should the Canadian one be listed International instead? ........... Would a Mexican issue be available outside Mexico (Spanish language perhaps... but avbailable in Spain also, for instance?) ? If so, and you make the Canadian entry, I'll be happy to move you Candian image to it, save you having to upload that particular image again. I'm sorry you find this site disappointing Lee, being less than perfect, as it is, coming across problems as it does, it can be frustrating, I know, but it's an ongoing project, the building of which, ought to be as engaging as the information we hope it provides...such as it can. ...But if it were perfect, it wouldn't need any of us now would it? If you know of a better "perfect" site, we'd all like to see that too, and would welcome a link to it. But for now, if you know better than any information on currently on site, Please submit it as a correction request. Thanks.
Magic Marmalade 2nd Sep 2021		CD Album George Harrison - All Things Must Pass (2021)	Doon. ...Upgraded to International. :)
Magic Marmalade 31st Aug 2021		CD Album George Harrison - All Things Must Pass (2021)	Earlier request to delete, ignored, in light of subsequent request not to... ... It will remain :)
Magic Marmalade 25th Aug 2021		CD Album Tori Amos - Little Earthquakes (1991)	[YouTube Video]
Magic Marmalade 8th Aug 2021		CD Album Salvatore Adamo - L'amour N'a Jamais Tort (2016)	Thank You kimbozw. ...Adamo now included in Salvatore Adamo discography, and a link made from the former to the latter :)
Magic Marmalade 7th Aug 2021		CD Album The Beatles - Rock 'N' Roll Music Live And Rare 1962 (2018)	All done. (Just thought adding them as SECTIONBREAKs might make this set easier to navigate :)
Magic Marmalade 7th Aug 2021		CD Album Salvatore Adamo - L'amour N'a Jamais Tort (2016)	Is the artist: Adamo, the same as this Salvatore Adamo? (Should I include those listings under this name?)
Magic Marmalade 6th Aug 2021		CD Album Garbage - Not Your Kind Of People (2012)	Review I'm building an opinion on this album, as I didn't immediately take to it due to comparisons with a phenomenal first impression made by their debut album... ...But the other day I took my shoes for a walk for the first time in a long time (Over any meaningful distance)... ((Good grief, my ass has turned to memory foam during lockdown! - have to get back to Superbad condition!!!)) ... and this, not taken as a Garbage album (in not making that comparison), but judged on it's own terms, and for what I needed it to do (drown out the monotonous drone of both heavy traffic and the horror of family visits, as well as propel me along the roadside while I was pushing pavement), is a winner! I'm about half way into liking this a lot, and it's winning me over song by song, as I work my way into it, just as it works it's way into me... A much more settled blend of the "punky" attitude and the electronica power pop this time, and I expect, what with the almost Kashmir-esque harmonica toot of Control, and the absolute ear-worm of Blood For Poppies, to start rating these individual tracks higher and higher over time.

Magic Marmalade 6th Aug 2021		CD Album George Harrison - All Things Must Pass (2021)	I've changed this to International (As seems any recent Beatles and related item ought to be now), and I've kept the "official" release date of the 6th for it.
Magic Marmalade 5th Aug 2021		CD Album George Harrison - All Things Must Pass (2021)	So is the release date for this 3rd, 4th, or 6th August?
Magic Marmalade 1st Aug 2021		CD Album Soul Asylum - Grave Dancers Union (1992)	[YouTube Video]
Magic Marmalade 1st Aug 2021		CD Album Fun Boy Three - Waiting (1996)	[YouTube Video]
Magic Marmalade 23rd Jul 2021		CD Album East 17 - Up All Night (1995)	Ah, so the same time frame (within months of this).... ...Looks like a bit of a novelty / experiment by the company that made it, that evidently fizzled out soon after introduction. Nice try lads.. just wildly over-engineered for what it is!
Magic Marmalade 23rd Jul 2021		CD Album Norah Jones - Come Away With Me (2002)	You are welcome chums :) ...At least, if the NZ artwork does turn up, it'll have a home waiting for it.
Magic Marmalade 22nd Jul 2021		CD Album East 17 - Up All Night (1995)	OK... So I'm not exactly an East 17 fan, but I had to buy this when I found it in the charity shop the other day, as it is a very curious, and interesting item... ... As per my pic, it states: "Special Edition Moving Image CD", which brings me to point number one: There is no moving image on the CD itself, but the cover is the "Moving image" part, but this is not your average lenticular / "holographic" image... no, no, no... this far more bizarre, and to my mind, unnecessarily complicated a construction (point number two): Even the slide in cover booklet itself is not the holographic or lenticular component, that is just a straight up fuzzy 2D image... ...Here, the "Lenticulation" is done by a tailor made clear lenticulated jewel case, which acts as a lens through which to view the fuzzy cover image, and so obscure certain aspects of it while showing others, depending on which angle viewed from... giving it that "moving image" effect. So rather than just do what others have always done to create a holographic image since time immerorial-ish, and incorporate the lenticular construction into the image card itself, they've designed a purpose made jewel case separate from the image. It has a "Patents Pending" wording embossed in the opening lip of the case (see pic), and must be unique to this item / issue / album. Never come across this before, and who would think to do it this way? Must have cost a fortune to make!
Magic Marmalade 22nd Jul 2021		CD Album Norah Jones - Come Away With Me (2002)	Entry made from Copy of HelBic's front cover and greg's45s New Zealand disc, brought over from European entry. (See discussion on linked European entry page)
Magic Marmalade 22nd Jul 2021		CD Album Norah Jones - Come Away With Me (2002)	Created New Zealand entry (Linked below), and copied front cover image over, and moved greg's disc scan over... ... I didn't copy the rest of the artwork over, as we can't be sure greg's copy isn't an anomaly yet... someone may have proper / made for / by New Zealand artwork which they can add to that entry.
Magic Marmalade 17th Jul 2021		CD Album John Bongiovi - John Bongiovi (2000)	Thanks kab... ...Now included John Bongiovi in Jon Bon Jovi discography, and there's a link to that page from this artist name variation :)
Magic Marmalade 16th Jul 2021		CD Album John Bongiovi - John Bongiovi (2000)	Sorry, I don't know this dude toowell, but assuming he's the same Bon Jovi of: "Woooooah... Living on a.... etc." - fame?
Magic Marmalade 15th Jul 2021		CD Album Various Artists - The Cool List (2004)	Track 10 artist is as on label, and the "alternative" does not yet exist in CD albums.
Magic Marmalade 14th Jul 2021		CD Album The Audience - Heart (2012)	Not anything to do with the Sophie Ellis-Bextor group: Theaudience, I take it?
Magic Marmalade 12th Jul 2021		CD Album Donna Summer - Walk Away (Collector's Edition	How spooky is that?! ... Found a copy of this at the boot fair yesterday with the special price artwork... Was especially pleased as it's my first Casablanca "sun-rays" disc! Yippee! :)
Magic Marmalade 10th Jul 2021		CD Album Van Halen - 1984 (1984)	This is different from the other entry... it's a target disc with different (albeit slightly) cat number. (Track 3 added in though, and all tracks shuffled along accordingly)
Magic Marmalade 10th Jul 2021		CD Album Rhùn - Ïh (2013)	Is this an album?
Magic Marmalade 10th Jul 2021		CD Album Elton John - The Superior Sound Of Elton John (1970-1975) (1983)	Actually, I have this one (somewhere!)... ...Mine is the silver disc with yellow print. I think this yellow and black disc (and package) may actually be a different item. Possibly this one, being silk screen printed, is earlier than mine, so I will dig around and find mine next week hopefully, and compare. (Mine might well be the DJMCD 4 you speak of, and may warrant separate entry.
Magic Marmalade 9th Jul 2021		CD Album Elton John - Captain Fantastic And The Brown Dirt Cowboy (1986)	Amended :)
Magic Marmalade 9th Jul 2021		CD Album Elton John - The One (1998)	Before I alter anything here, what issue is collst's images from (country)? (I see an import sticker for India on the back there) ....since collst made the entry, and added the images, is it easier to simply modify thedetails here to match the images, then make a new entry for the other issue from details (barcode etc.) here? ... Or make a new entry for the images here, then have someone else supply new images to this page? If we can identify these images' issue, I can simply make a new entry for them (provided not already in the system) and shove them over, and leave this clear for appropriate images.
