ppint. 3rd May 2015		CD Album Joni Mitchell - Song To A Seagull (2000)	joni mitchell's cover art from the original 1968 album cover still bears the warner-7arts/reprise logo (and the original lp cat#, (rs/rslp) "6293") centrally, in chief.
ppint. 2nd May 2015		CD Album John Martyn - Well Kept Secret (1997)	surnames "nocito" and "thornalley" are best guesstimates from a very fine-lined, very condensed, fairly low point-sized font: corrections and/or confirmations welcome.
ppint. 30th Apr 2015		CD Album T. Rex - Electric Warrior (2012)	philmh: many thanks.
ppint. 30th Apr 2015		CD Album Dusty Springfield - The Early Years (2014)	disc1 has 33 tracks, and disc 2, 32; the five that would not fit into the track-listing fields submitted as corrections. - and disc 1 done - thank-you, o semi-divine being. Mod: Sorted - indeed; many thanks, and offers of divers blandishments, up to & including chocolate (!), o s-d b.
ppint. 29th Apr 2015		CD Album Spirit - The Original Potato Land (2011)	quicksilver: many thanks for the images; it's one of the more effective, very simple - and cheap! - new label designs i've so far seen on cds. both i and the tablettything were running out of puff, when i reached detailing the bonus cd's tracks, and we both lose a lot of the data entered if we collapse (or switch off) rather than turn off comms & visuals, but keep the o.s. running... (and the confirmation there's more that might yet resurface, or come to light for a first time...)
ppint. 29th Apr 2015		CD Album T. Rex - Electric Warrior (2012)	philmh: is there any chance of a "post-universalisation" guide to ascribing labels to cds? (universal music & entertainment aren't the only offenders by any means, but the re-use of older labels' logos, designs etc. can be really confusing - and the abandoning of label-specific, and especially alphabetical, cat# prefixes by the megaconglommerates means there can be very little to go by, for folk as'd like to get it right - and incidentally create a minimum of mess for mods to have to clear up.)
ppint. 28th Apr 2015		CD Album David Britton, Michael Butterworth - Savoy Digital Angst (1992)	dave britton is a dinosaur, one of the very last of the traditional purveyors of porn, westerns, sf, fantasy, horror and romance novels (and comics) that were once the alternative to respectawiggle bookshops selling real books - i.e. hardcovers (that might very possibly include, ah, ''gentlemen's special interests" - so long as properly bound - and too expensive for one's servants/the plebs) and later, somewhat grudgingly, penguins, pelicans & perhaps puffins (with the occasional peacock), plus dover and methuen paperbacks. he is also, in his own - arguably twisted, or at least twisty - way a champion of and for individual rights against encroachment by corrupt and/or religiously-delusional policemen of all ranks, and other similarly-inclined tentacles of the state. and he has conducted a one-person campaign to remember and relaunch the music of p.j. proby for at least three-to-four decades. michael butterworth wrote the time of the hawklords trilogy that may be familiar to fans, friends and followers of hawkwind and its spin-offs (see pete? tobler's rock family trees), and is/was a musician involved in the jazz-rock band, james colvin (michael moorcock) and the deep fix. either, neither or both may be found at england's glory, or whatever the shop's currently named, on st. petersgate (iirc) or at the *key lock & safe company, on deansgate (iirc); or at savoy's home address, and prevailed upon to sign copies of cds, lps and/or cassettes, or books & comics with the production of which they've been associated.
ppint. 27th Apr 2015		CD Album Bessie Smith - Bessies Blues (1996)	another instant remainder from carlton entertainment.
ppint. 27th Apr 2015		CD Album Caravan - Live In Nottingham (2002)	the central tv live performance remastered for cd release, iiu(the liner notes)c.
ppint. 25th Apr 2015		CD Album Spirit - The Original Potato Land (2006)	& see double cd of same title issued 2011 by floating world records, 1379 high road london N20 (is that enfield?) 0805772608023.
ppint. 24th Apr 2015		CD Album Bessie Smith - The Complete Recordings Vol. 2 (1991)	magnificent.
ppint. 23rd Apr 2015		CD Album Ravi Shankar - Ravi Shankar At The Monterey Pop Festival (1993)	does the recording include ravi shankar's courteously thanking the audience for the reception given to the initial tuning of sitar and tabla before the performance began?
ppint. 23rd Apr 2015		CD Album The Kinks - Muswell Hillbillies (1998)	wot - orl these songs wiv no composer? - not evyn ''traditionshirl'' or ''heynononnynonnymouse'' ?
ppint. 22nd Apr 2015		CD Album Gerard Hoffnung - A Last Encore (2002)	headings of the sub-divisions of the tracks on disc 2 submitted as a correction; they provide the occasion of each speech that is the source of these tracks. should i've credited charles richardson, hoffnung's interviewer on disc 1, as his co-artist on that disc? edit 31/3/2023: the information submitted in the ''correction'' was ignored. hey-ho.
ppint. 20th Apr 2015		CD Album Simply Red - Live In Cuba Volumes One & Two (2006)	a quite remarkable dearth of composer credits, all of which are in fact provided on the first card sleeve.
ppint. 20th Apr 2015		CD Album Mott The Hoople - Walkin' With A Mountain (1990)	production credits would make more sense if guy stevens' read 1-6, 10-13, but they don't.
ppint. 20th Apr 2015		CD Album The Platters - Rock'n'Roll Legends (2008)	my copy bears its bar-code on the rear top (as printed) right-hand corner - the top left-hand fly corner, as one naturally turns over or opens the card "sleeve" with clear plastic cd-mount (and folded page with track listing incl. full composer & publisher credits, and liner notes by daryl easlea). the card sleeve and track listing page are a more turquoisy blue than the image provided, and mercury records stated to be a division of universal music group international. mfd by universal in the eu. digitally remastered rock'n'roll legends series #6.
ppint. 19th Apr 2015		CD Album Nelly Furtado - Whoa, Nelly! (2001)	disc mfd in france by cinrom optical discs; no french price code next to the bar-code, but mayn't this nevertheless be a yeurppean special edition from universal?
ppint. 19th Apr 2015		CD Album Peggy Lee - Greatest Hits (2001)	more composerless songs.
ppint. 19th Apr 2015		CD Album Peggy Lee - A Portrait Of Peggy Lee (1999)	and any composer credits are presumably pretty tricky, too.
ppint. 19th Apr 2015		CD Album Peggy Lee - The Best Of Peggy Lee 1952-1956 (1994)	the composer credit for the last track should read "fain, yellen, magidson" - the browser on this medion 7" tablettything froze and wouldn't allow any further entries (or corrections).
ppint. 19th Apr 2015		CD Album Whitney Houston - My Love Is Your Love (1998)	tracks 2 & 6 credit, respectiwiggly, faith evans & kelly price, and missy "misdemeanor" elliott, but give them "feat." (featuring) rather than the "with" of duetting (or multiple) equal vocalists.
ppint. 19th Apr 2015		CD Album Carly Simon - Coming Around Again (1987)	yeurppean edition arista cat# 261 038 (211 038 on lh front top of insert booklet), bar-code 4007192610389 mfd in the ec. track listing on disc reverses the order of tracks 5 & 6 from that given above (and follows that on back insert & back of booklet), and adds on-disc copyright & contact with ariola-eurodisc gmbh rubric in german.
ppint. 18th Apr 2015		CD Album The Status Quo - The Technicolor Dreams Of The Status Quo (2001)	francis rossi went by the name mike or mick rossi and, less critically, rick parfitt was commonly called ricky parfitt, through the first years of the band's various incarnations.
ppint. 17th Apr 2015		CD Album Chris Farlowe - Out Of Time: The Immediate Anthology (1999)	the disc design is based unashamedly upon the grey immediate label, and the classic logo is liberally plastered - not without (good) reason - all over the package inserts, and a degree of immediate record label album design is copied or emulated - but this is a sequel records label release by castle music ltd.
ppint. 15th Apr 2015		CD Album Gordon Lightfoot - If You Could Read My Mind	title of track 5 is "cobwebs & dust", not " cobwebs and (stet) dust" (nor even "cobwebs and dust")
ppint. 15th Apr 2015		CD Album Jackie Wilson - Sweetest Feelin' (1999)	sinkronizer: woops, yes; thanks. correction sent in - though a near-identical clever cardboard copy might've been an auto-mis-correct by this 7" tablettything's wppser - or a cunning plot by dissident mysteri(a,o)ns...
ppint. 15th Apr 2015		CD Album Gordon Lightfoot - Harmony (2004)	mods: "(p) & © 2004 early morning productions under exclusive world license by linus entertainment inc." - so may be better "cdcatted" as a worldwide cd.. ..definitions are bendy...
ppint. 15th Apr 2015		CD Album Gordon Lightfoot - Endless Wire (1994)	identical data except no mention of rhino, plus the disc bears "digitally remastered for warner music canada ltd. .. scarborough ontario.." beneath the warner archives/warner bros. logo, and cat# cdw 45685 opposite, above compact disc logo & rubric, "first released in 1978". back insert bears " distributed by/distribue par warner music canada ltd.. scarborough ontario.. " as second line of rubric at base.
ppint. 15th Apr 2015		CD Album Gordon Lightfoot - Gord's Gold (1987)	identical data, front of front insert for merkin edition (i.e my copy), save cat# 2237-2.
