ppint. 10th Aug 2015		CD Album Alanis - Alanis (1991)	magic marmalade: does it/ cdcatters as own it win some sort of prize, e.g. for thoroughness, then?
ppint. 10th Aug 2015		CD Album Various Artists - Soul Sensations Volume 1 (2005)	see also sunday express' soul sensations volume 2.
ppint. 10th Aug 2015		CD Album Various Artists - Soul Sensations Volume 2 (2005)	i shouldn't be surprised if the artist names given for the "bonus tracks" both prove to've been clerical error arising from a computer program, or names given to computer files in which the music tracks were stored. storable in the empty pocket of the two-pocket card sleeve in which soul sensations volume 1 was distributed.
ppint. 9th Aug 2015		CD Album Art Garfunkel - Across America (2005)	leonard: i think so, as elsewise, every separate packager used to put promos together for distribution with a newspaper'll require its own label... (not that there isn't an argument for that: but who the packager is, isn't always clearly identified: whereas the newspaper's masthead is ime always boldly proclaimed.)
ppint. 8th Aug 2015		CD Album Various Artists - Classical Superstars (2010)	the a or á of "plácido", and the c or ç of "françois", are given inconsistently, as per the cd sleeve.
ppint. 8th Aug 2015		CD Album Midnight Syndicate - Gothic Nightmare • Soundtracks Sampler (2001)	midnight syndicate would appear to have throve/thriven - well, still exist; they're up to eighteen cds (and various other things), so they're presumably doing something right. or else, suitably horribly wrong. . . (is there any simple way of specifying a "gothic" font in comments?)
ppint. 8th Aug 2015		CD Album Various Artists - Soul, Volume 1 & 2 (2005)	these two cds not distributed together, but separately, with separate cat#s and with issues of different newspapers, which allows for the fun fact that volume 1 is vol. 1 of (the) "daily express soul", whilst volume 2 is vol.2 of (the) "sunday express soul"... desoulcd01 is "cdcatted" separately, as sesoul01 should probably be, given they weren't a single release.
ppint. 8th Aug 2015		CD Album Art Garfunkel - Across America (2005)	these two cds were not distributed together. mos (mail on sunday) 039 was a freebie with the one week's mail on sunday, distributed in the double (gatefold) card sleeve with empty pocket for the second disc: the second disc was distributed a week later in a single-pocket card sleeve.
ppint. 6th Aug 2015		CD Album Various Artists - 60s Top Ten Hits, Volume 1 / 70s Top Ten Hits, Vol. 2 (2004)	these two cds were only distributed separately, one cd with each issue of the two different newspapers concerned.
ppint. 6th Aug 2015		CD Album จินตหรา พูนลาภ - ลูกทุ่งสะออน ชุดที่ 6 (2001)	plocky45: "tia" (thanks in advance) - & "waiting is" (= "no hurry") (i'm glad somecatter can, as well as intends to.)
ppint. 5th Aug 2015		CD Album Various Artists - The Ultimate Romance Album (2004)	goodbear66: yes, these two cds were only distributed separately, and not together. the second came in its own printed card sleeve. the first was distributed in the double sleeve, advertising the coming second volume, and with room to keep it in (instead of separately in its own sleeve), ready-printed with its track-listing.
ppint. 5th Aug 2015		CD Album จินตหรา พูนลาภ - ลูกทุ่งสะออน ชุดที่ 6 (2001)	it's a truly beautiful script (and one i suspect of running from right to left), but could somekindcatter please provide a transliteration, if not a translation, to go with ?
ppint. 2nd Aug 2015		CD Album Otis Redding - Otis Blue / Otis Redding Sings Soul (1991)	greg78s: and there were, i'd be interested in hearing the twelfth - very interested... *g*
ppint. 1st Aug 2015		CD Album Various Artists - The Platinum Collection (2004)	the two cds not distributed together, but on consecutive days in two different murdochnewspapers - the first, with the daily mirror, the second, with the following day's sunday mirror - each in their own card sleeve.
ppint. 1st Aug 2015		CD Album Various Artists - 70s Top Ten Hits Volume 2 (2004)	- phew: what an exclusion-from-liabilities clause!
ppint. 1st Aug 2015		CD Album Petula Clark - The Best Of (2004)	the two cds not distributed together, only separately in separate card sleeves, with consecutive issues of the weekly sunday newspaper.
ppint. 1st Aug 2015		CD Album 10cc - The Best Of 10CC Live (2007)	also promoting the release of the 10cc double cd, "10cc greatest hits and more" which isn't up on 45worlds (yet) - it seems not to've been spectacularly successful in this - and the 2007 UK tour; hopefully, it was at least reasonably good at this.
ppint. 1st Aug 2015		CD Album Various Artists - Summer Breeze (2004)	i can't help wondering at what age, musical taste, dance style, etc. group, cohort, decile, etc. some of these in-theory newspaper sales-promoting compilation discs were aimed - or if, indeed, "aimed" is quite the right word.
ppint. 1st Aug 2015		CD Album Various Artists - Giants Of Rock Live	not distributed together, only under separate card covers, with separate days' issues of different newspapers.
ppint. 31st Jul 2015		CD Album Black Sabbath - Sabbath Bloody Sabbath (1985)	robozuc: essentially (sorry) trying to judge, or sometimes second-guess, its intended market(s): clues to which include (p)&© information in multiple languages, or just one; distributors given for multiple countries, or just one; multiple publishers/performing rights agencies' logos being on the disc, or no and - for some, not least - the country of mfr indicated as that of the releasing music co. being probably too small a market to justify a mfrs' run of thousands (low thousands at least). but no, it's not always obvious. country of mfr alone is not a good guide. - specifically wrt the pye records/precision/prt/castle/essential/sanctuary group(s), given how little indication there generally is of any attempt to market outside the british isles on the records/tapes/cds & packaging, i assume that they're uk (or, uk & ireland) only, unless there's indication otherwise.
ppint. 29th Jul 2015		CD Album The Band - A Musical History (2005)	leonard: chances are capitol (the bit of what was emi left with umg, iiuc) never intended to print a yeurppean edition of the book - so we get the merkin printing of it in the yeurppean package. it'd be nice & thoughtful of them, if they bothered to include dual merkin-yeurppean information & release data, chart placings (where relevant), etc - but i doubt that's going to happen again, any time soon.
ppint. 28th Jul 2015		CD Album Björk Guðmundsdóttir And Trió Guðmundar Ingólfssonar - Gling-Gló (1990)	björk gudhmundsdóttir is somewhat better-known these days as, simply, "björk". gudhmundur ingólfsson, gudhmundur steingrímsson and thordhur högnason are tríó ingólfssonar; i do not know whether & what they may've recorded under this name.
ppint. 27th Jul 2015		CD Album Various Artists - Love Legends	all composers given on card sleeve, q.v.
ppint. 27th Jul 2015		CD Album Foreigner - Jukebox Heroes (2004)	all tracks' composers given on card sleeve (including those of the four "4Play" tracks not listed by kab2112), q.v. cat no from reverse of disc.
ppint. 27th Jul 2015		CD Album Various Artists - 70´s Classics, Volume 1 & 2 (2006)	these two cds were not distributed together, but separately, one week apart.
ppint. 26th Jul 2015		CD Album Julian Bream - Julian Bream: The Ultimate Guitar Collection (1996)	Review i can't see a way to submit something with two SECTIONBREAKs that works, as doesn't introduce a blank track. (maybe there isn't one - yet?) anyway, fabulous music, superbly well-performed: should have everyone wanting the complete breamcatalogue on lute and guitar - and you'll still want to hang onto this compilation. i think only the pieces on which he's playing the lute are from 1959, but this is indicated on neither the inserts nor the disc, and i haven't tried tracking (sorry) them all down. yet. 1 person found this review helpful. ✔︎ Helpful Review?
ppint. 25th Jul 2015		CD Album Otis Redding - Otis Blue / Otis Redding Sings Soul (1991)	corrections to tracks 10 & 11 listings, composer credits, submitted; & n.b. there is no track 12. [mod: corrections made]
ppint. 25th Jul 2015		CD Album Alfred Scholz And London Festival Orchestra - George Bizet: Carmen Suite 1 & 2 (1999)	i've no idea why l'arlésienne suites 1 & 2 aren't mentioned in the cd title, nor on the disc, but they aren't. but then, conductor & orchestra aren't mentioned on the disc, either. . .
ppint. 24th Jul 2015		CD Album Björk - Telegram (1996)	this cd appears to be remixes of björk's previous year's "post" album, sometimes with the remixers (? &/or other musicians?) performing with her/mixing their parts into the originals. bicvwbw - and my eyes hurt, from having to decipher an entire world of info in tiny print that's only provided on the disc obverse - "grrrrr..."
ppint. 24th Jul 2015		CD Album Fairport Convention - What We Did On Our Holidays (2003)	island remasters series, with "island pink" label & typography echoing that of the classic mid-sixties-seventies' wip cat# singles & ilp/ilps 9nm/90nm mono/stereo island pop/pink originals. "witchseason" was joe boyd's production company, and could've grown into his own, semi- & then fully- independent label/record co, as chris blackwell had a penchant for helping talented producers (on a "heads-we-both-win, tails-i-win-and-you-had-a-fair-chance" basis) do this - instead, he heeded the blandishments of the warner-kinneycarparkconglommerate, and returned merkiawards, whence he had originally appeared.
