ppint. 6th Jun 2015		CD Album Various Artists - Piano Concertos Nos. 1 & 2 (2002)	"essential classics" may belong better on the classicalcat section.
ppint. 6th Jun 2015		CD Album Dickran Atamian - Piano Concertos (1994)	khachaturian & prokofiev're generally recognised as classical composers.
ppint. 6th Jun 2015		CD Album Московский Новый Филармонический Оркестр, Владимир Понькин - Спящая красавица (фрагменты балета) (2003)	...and prob'ly belongs in the classicalcat listing...
ppint. 26th May 2015		CD Album The Who - The Who Sell Out (1988)	should prob'ly be re-flagged yeurppean (or possibly yuk?); country of manufacture != country of releasing record co, nor necessarily is a disc legally sold "by way of trade" in the country of manufacture.
ppint. 26th May 2015		CD Album Various Artists - The Red Bird Girls (2012)	there're two groups on "cdcat" by the name of "the goodies"; their personnel didn't overlap much. (their music is not completely identical, neither...)
ppint. 25th May 2015		CD Album Various Artists - The Embassy Records Story	i know that embassy records - almost entirely singles, and almost entirely "sound-alike" cover versions - were sold exclusively through woolworthses in the uk (or, at least, in england'n'wales), for a while (later, non-exclusively through woollieses); but were they not actually set up by the levys of oriole records fame - this was, i understood, how cbs uk came to own the embassy label (which they eventually used as their budget lp line label, not least to maintain ownership of the name by keeping it a live label) - ? (not a mistake by frank at all, at all; a blooper by the cd's liner-notes-and-blurb writer.)
ppint. 20th May 2015		CD Album The Everly Brothers - The Everly Brothers Volume One (2006)	i somehow doubt anyone bought these papers for the freebie cds, which get given to charity shops in their thousands (if not, all at once!), and sold by them at ~50p a time, tops (just as often, 5 or 10 for £1 - or else browsers are asked simply to "make a donation"); but some of them are good, all the same.
ppint. 19th May 2015		CD Album Donovan - The Best Of Donovan (1996)	thejudge: i've not suggested they should be rejected: nor am i doing so now; but as it's easier by far for the submitter to enter the composer details - where present - in the original submission, and frequently trivially so, where the great majority of albums' songs are by band members, the singer-songwriter, or by song-writers from a very limited pool or school - mightn't something like an immediate (automagic, even?) request for the submitter to fill in the missing information unless it truly isn't available to them be sensible? (some submitters seem to specialise in not bothering to provide composers, and so creating work for others, that they could very easily do before submitting albums with the information immediately to hand - and i strongly suspect they're very well aware of this. maybe they're trying to score more points, and faster, than anyone else? might fewer points for composerless submissions encourage them to enter the info?)
ppint. 18th May 2015		CD Album Donovan - The Best Of Donovan (1996)	- or not, and they're being created faster than they're being filled in...
ppint. 18th May 2015		CD Album Various Artists - The Legendary Joe Meek Presents (2005)	gosh! yet more apparently composerless songs from the collection of this contributor! (there must've been an awful lot of black magic-markering done on his/her/its collection's lp & cd covers, inserts & labels, to blank 'em all out so comprehensively - mustn't there...)(?)
ppint. 18th May 2015		CD Album Various Artists - The Legendary Sun Records Story (2000)	seeing as how elvis, and his recordings, were sold to the highest bidder also offering elvis a caddilac, by tom parker? (and oddly, almost all of the songs on the tracks reissued here do in fact have known and acknowledged composers, despite the apparent inability of the item's contributors to list such when submitting albums.)
ppint. 18th May 2015		CD Album Donovan - The Best Of Donovan (1996)	yet another cd kontributed innocent of all komposer kredits.
ppint. 17th May 2015		CD Album Kevin Ayers - Original Album Series (2014)	track 2 is given as listed on the disc; all of it, as well as "may i?", were listed as track 1 on the original lp, on emi records ltd's then-live harvest label SHSP 4005 10/70, with "lunatics lament" track 2 et seq; and from "the oyster and the flying fish" on, all but "shooting at the moon" being side 2 track 1, and "shooting" being numbered side 2 track 2, on the lp back cover. . . - i think it's probably sensibler to go with the numbering on the cd... part of the kevin ayers original album series, cat# 2564636205
ppint. 17th May 2015		CD Album Embrace - Fireworks (Singles 1997-2002) (2002)	given the date, and the multiple logos, is this actually a yeurppean release, to be so-reflagged?
ppint. 17th May 2015		CD Album The Bevis Frond - Triptych (2015)	was billboard trying to be elliptical ?
ppint. 17th May 2015		CD Album The Bevis Frond - Bevis Through The Looking Glass (2015)	did some leaves fall from the cherry red tree?
ppint. 17th May 2015		CD Album The Bevis Frond - The Auntie Winnie Album (2015)	all composerless?
ppint. 16th May 2015		CD Album Fleet Foxes - Fleet Foxes (2009)	the attribution of "false knight on the road" to robin pecknold is definitely questionable, in whole or in part, but is implicit in the liner notes & insert assertion that all the music is by pecknold: however, this statement may only've been intended to apply to the earlier one-disc edition.
ppint. 16th May 2015		CD Album Dire Straits - Money For Nothing (1996)	gregs78s: "although this is (different), it (is the same)" - ?????!? "As they're are no scans here..." - provide me with a scanner here in milnthorpe, and broadband, and i'll gladly provide scans. - but i've detailed the visual differences in any case, and they are significant - leastways, they are to anyone who gives a damn about the actual music... (- and, quite aside of the questionable english, the logic of "As they're are no scans..it should be deleted (..)." is crazy - how would the provision of scans alter the fact of this remastered, super bit-mapped edition's existence?)
ppint. 16th May 2015		CD Album The Beatles - Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band	mfd in italy, but also bears french, and space for german and uk price-codes as part of the bar-code complex: a yeurppean flag would be better - no?
ppint. 15th May 2015		CD Album Dire Straits - Money For Nothing (1996)	bearing in mind the "int 836 419-2" above the bar-code, should this be re-flagged international?
ppint. 15th May 2015		CD Album Robert Johnson - The Complete Recordings (1990)	a reviewing radio dj commented that one of the releases of "the complete recordings" accidentally repeated a take where an alternate was intended, and is listed; does any cdcatter out there know whether it was the merkin columbia, the cbs, or the yeurppean columbia edition, that was the faulty compilation?
ppint. 15th May 2015		CD Album Robert Johnson - The Complete Recordings (1990)	my copy is identical save: label now "columbia", top right corner rear insert cat# now a line lower, below (prefix?) col; bottom centre columbia & sony music entertainment inc. & sony music replace cbs; bottom right corner adds cx in a line-drawn box next cdx ditto (save corners of new line-drawn box are sharp), and no. in line-drawn cartouche immediately above now 841. white-on-red sticker on outside front of package boldy proclaims "features 41 tracks / over 100 minutes of music / plus 60- page booklet" (and "01-467246-10" in minuscule). cd box could fit in two more discs - or one more, given the insert booklet occupies one's space.
ppint. 14th May 2015		CD Album Neil Young - Neil Young (1987)	the reprise cat# of my mfd in germany by record service gmbh, alsdorf copy, purchased new in 2002, is 7599-27444-2, on the disc, the front insert booklet and the back insert (which also bears the bar-code number, 075992744423). (the original reprise cat# of the 12/11/68 reprise lp, 6317, remains on the front of the booklet - in feint, below the reprise logo ditto, as this is reproduced from the lp cover: but this is not a cat# of the cd.)
ppint. 14th May 2015		CD Album King Crimson - In The Wake Of Poseidon (2010)	ta, o semi-divine being (leonard?).
ppint. 13th May 2015		CD Album Neil Young - Comes A Time (1993)	20pp insert booklet actually lists all the musicians and their instruments, the singers providing harmony vocals, and the backing vocalists for the convenience of the submitter of the item to 45worlds/cd-cat. edit 5/2021: composers added by courtesy of rocket666
ppint. 13th May 2015		CD Album Neil Young And Crazy Horse - Rust Never Sleeps (1993)	yet another cd in this contributor's collection apparently lacking all details of the songs' composer(s), the musicians playing upon the recordings and the backing vocalists. edit 5/2021: composers added by unspecified other hand, possibly rocket666
ppint. 13th May 2015		CD Album Neil Young - Harvest Moon (1992)	12pp insert booklet lists all five stray gators playing instruments on the album and all six supporting vocalists, all by name, solely for the easy reference of and inclusion by the submitter of the item to 45worlds/cdcat. (in addition to providing the information as to who contributed to which tracks, and the lyrics of each of neil young's songs, plus other recording data.)
ppint. 13th May 2015		CD Album King Crimson - In The Wake Of Poseidon (2010)	query - is not the artist - the band - on all 43 tracks actually king crimson ? [mod: yes and I've changed it!]
ppint. 10th May 2015		CD Album Spooky Tooth - Cross Purpose (1999)	is it possible that this contributor has excised all reference to the composer(s) of every song on every track on all records and cds in his collection?
