ppint. 14th Mar 2015		CD Album The Doors - The Doors (1988)	my - and doubtless some others' - "the doors remastered" copy of the doors first album was mfd in germany, bears the longer cat# 7559-74007-2 and bar-code 075597400724; remastered from the original 2 track masters to 96hhz 24 bit digital by bruce botnick and bernie grundman at bernie grundman mastering, hollywood... 8/89. it includes as an extra f. insert, a flyer for all of the doors remastered cds, one of which (the best of the doors 2cd) bears the warning footneat, "* may be subject to local restrictions "
ppint. 13th Mar 2015		CD Album The Coasters - The Best Of The Coasters	gnag150flow: it ain't exactly obvious, is it? "caveat emptor!"
ppint. 13th Mar 2015		CD Album Amazing Blondel - Evensong / Fantasia Lindum (2004)	cussincarryinon02: thanks for your semi-divine intervention.
ppint. 13th Mar 2015		CD Album Jefferson Airplane - Jefferson Airplane (1989)	musictom: ah. well, i either cannot do that on this aldi's best 7" tablettything, or else i don't yet know how to; it prob'ly doesn't help much not having broadbeans^H^H^H^Hand of my own, neither. thanks for explaining. (though it ought to be possible to save a suitably modified page/the fields unique to a given page, with minor mods, under an appropriate 78/45/33/cass/cd cat no. . .) /wist
ppint. 11th Mar 2015		CD Album The Velvet Underground - The Velvet Underground (1996)	may be a eurodisc, rather than a merkin release - f. insert bears merkin data, b. insert asserts country of manufacture as stated on label - none is explicit, but a&m records, inc. implies merkin manufacture - whilst reverse of disc explicitly states it was made in germany. i s'pose it could be a world - welt ? - disc...
ppint. 11th Mar 2015		CD Album The Who - A Quick One (1995)	tracks 01-10 = the original 12/1966 album, reaction lp 593002 (mono), 594002 (stereo) ; tracks 11-20 = bonus tracks including 11-14: four of the the five-track 11/1966 reaction ep 592001, "ready steady who"; single b-sides; alternate takes; recording session outtakes. all tracks produced by kit lambert; original lp, singles & ep released on the robert stigwood organisation's reaction label, as kit lambert's & chris stamp's track records was not yet up and running, and the who had not completely escaped from their first contract with shel talmy, who'd obtained their signing to merkin decca (see the tale told by the who's singles through this period, on 45cat.com). the merkin decca & the canadadian decca versions of the album were retitled "happy jack" both to tie in with the single, and because the merkin manglement objected to the double entendre of the original title; on them, the track "heatwave" was dropped, replaced by "happy jack" appended to side one. remixed and remastered for cd by andy macpherson & jon astley at revolution studios
ppint. 11th Mar 2015		CD Album The Who - Sell Out (1995)	tracks 14-23 also produced by kit lambert, respectively at talent masters studios ny, de lane lea studios london, advision studios london, (unspecified) ny, brass at bradley's barn, nashville, inc studios, london, cbs studios london, kingsway studios london, sound techniques studio london, talent masters studios ny, de lane lea studios london: all for his & chris stamp's track records, during 1967 (may through november, save a few tracks whose month of recording is not now certain) sessions for the lp. n.b. the guitar tracks for the mono and stereo lps are different, as was quite commonly the case for the period before "stereo playable mono" and the phasing out of mono (where stereo recordings existed, or could be recovered from original master tapes) - and sometimes for all instruments, and even vocals.
ppint. 11th Mar 2015		CD Album Vanilla Fudge - Vanilla Fudge (1997)	the non-parenthetical parts of the unattributed sections of tracks 5, 6 & 7's titles concatenate to read "StraWberRyfiElds"; and "strawberry fields" may be tolerably familiar to beatles fans as well as to liverpudlians and afficionados of the beatles' best singles in general. . .
ppint. 11th Mar 2015		CD Album Jefferson Airplane - Jefferson Airplane (1989)	mods: copy whole page as new item, cbs records inc epic label catalogue# ek 45271 / 465659 2, bar-code 5099746565923 also dated (c) 1989 cbs records inc/epic; distribution cbs records. back of booklet below photo reads: "(epic logo) 01-465659-10 ddd" - that # is possibly to identify the correct booklet to go with export copies. all else is sfaik identical, modulo the three corrections entered a few minutes ago. i _think_ this version i have may've been for the uk alone, but i'm not sure. (if i could save whole page, make the minor mods, and save the new page as a new, appropriately re-cdcat #ed item, i would - but i can't sfaik.)(this is not a complaint, just explaining why i haven't done it.)
ppint. 8th Mar 2015		CD Album John Mayall And The Bluesbreakers - John Mayall Plays John Mayall (Recorded Live At Klooks Kleek !) (2006)	it (the original album) was never officially entitled "live at klooks kleek" (with or without apostrophes"), but a lot of people call(ed) it that.
ppint. 4th Mar 2015		CD Album The Doors - Box Set (1998)	the "ew844" may be a french price-code; any cd/33/45/78/tape-catter know for certain?

ppint. 26th Feb 2015		CD Album Amazing Blondel - Restoration (2000)	both of the pieces composed by edward baird on this album possess limming, or punning, titles; the first works rather better than the second.
ppint. 23rd Feb 2015		CD Album Amy Winehouse - Lioness: Hidden Treasures (2011)	label(s) appear to be island lioness, island records group, and universal island records, a division of universal music operations ltd. however, the copyright in this sound recording is owned by universal-island records ltd. is it just me, or is this all getting absurdly surreal?

ppint. 13th Feb 2015		CD Album Hedgehog Pie - The Green Lady	tyops & spelloes - and the dreadful reproduction of the cover art - aside, the bootlegger's gone to considerable lengths to provide as full credits etc. as possible - a bootlegger with a social conscience, perh? (i've acquired a copy of this, but i really want a legitimate, professionally remastered & reproduced copy of this album. one that'll pay (at least) some pittance to the band and songwriters, if i'm lucky, even.)

ppint. 7th Feb 2015		CD Album Whitney Houston - Greatest Hits Preview Cd (2000)	the only id no. i can see is that on the reverse of the disc, produced (mfd, etc.) by 86 ltd. (86.co.uk). make of this what you will - it's more likely to turn up in your local charity shop, car-boot sale or jumble-sale, than a music shop - i think...
ppint. 6th Feb 2015		CD Album Van Morrison - Van Morrison (2008)	help in tracing the route these recordings took from van morrison, & the deceased bert berns' bang! label in new york would be appreciated.
