ppint. 21st Feb 2015		CD Album Fleetwood Mac - The Dream (2005)	n.b. tracks may or may not be re-recordings: caveat emptor.
ppint. 20th Feb 2015		CD Album Lil` Band O` Gold - Lil` Band O` Gold (2000)	gnag150flow: 's ok; we're all fallible, & we're all human - sfaik (semi-divine beings, such as mods, possibly excepted) ( ;-) )
ppint. 17th Feb 2015		CD Album Steeleye Span - A Parcel Of Steeleye Span (2009)	9 more? more like 27 more tracks - see notes for third cd track listing.
ppint. 15th Feb 2015		CD Album Steeleye Span - The Lark In The Morning (2003)	Review * - boys of bedlam is an arrangement - to original music, so far as i know - of the anonymous poem, "tom o'bedlam", found in the british museum ms. "everyday book" i first saw ref'ed as "giles earle, his booke" c.1615 a.d./ce in the wondrous anthology edited and feetnoted by walter de la mere, "come hither" (q.v.). it doubtless has its own british museum ms. ref. no, as important to it (and to scholars) as any 45cat or "33cat" no.- but i do not know it, offhand. (if i remember to, i'll look it up & emend this.) it's highly recommended, and has been a mild obsession of mine for some fifty years :-). giles earle's everyday book is dated to the first half of the seventeenth century a.d./ce as he was a living musician and collector of songs "floreat" ("flourishing" = alive and working) circa (around) 1615 c.e.(a.d.) "when i was on horseback" is also, and perhaps better-known as "lock hospital"; this was a common name for the secure - and armed-guarded - hospitals set up to restrain the incurable infectious to prevent them spreading the diseases they carried, frequently venereal diseases. 1 person found this review helpful. ✔︎ Helpful Review?
ppint. 15th Feb 2015		CD Album The Righteous Brothers - The Very Best Of The Righteous Brothers • Unchained Melody (1990)	mods: elsewise identical cd issued 1990 by verve uk under the same title, cat# 847 248-2, bar-code 042284724821, cover art identical save for black rectangle over the f.insert blurb, replacement text in white "includes unchained melody..." (der) "...as heard in the film ghost, plus...". b.insert also gives cat# of lp, 847 248-1, & mc, 847 248-4 (no 8-track). disc mfd by nimbus. please would you copy this entry's page from "cdcat", changing just the three fields (country, cat# & bar-code no.) and save as a uk cdcat entry (and then delete this comment: thank-you.
ppint. 14th Feb 2015		CD Album Procol Harum - 1st Album... Plus (1998)	Review tracks 1-10 were the mono lp, regal zonophone lrz 1001 q.v. remastered in 1997 from an original first generation production master. the original lp was ready for release summer 1967, but was delayed by essex music & straight ahead productions until january 1968 as part of the negotiations in placing their whole artists roster with, as it turned out, emi; tracks 11 & 12 were the original first single, deram dm 126, no.1 for six weeks straight in the summer of 1967; track 13 (with 9) was the stunning follow-up, regal zonophone rz 3003 9/67, which only made #6 in the charts - a tastecrime seldom equalled in the mid-sixties: it's doomy, gloomy and magnificent; what more did the record-buying public want? (as it happens, what the "serious" side of the r-b p now wanted was lps and not singles any more; and lps that were more-or-less coherent albums, rather than unprogrammed assembleges of totally unrelated songs. procul or their managers, were slow on the uptake, and it wasn't until the third lp they achieved this feel of the whole album being more than the sum of its parts); tracks14-20 are bonus alternative takes & mixes, stages on the way to the released versions, and make for further interesting listening rather than "essential (re-) discovery"; but i'm glad to have them. 1 person found this review helpful. ✔︎ Helpful Review?
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. 13th Feb 2015		CD Album Gladys Knight And The Pips - Soulfully Yours (1996)	Review all eleven of these tracks were originally released on the merkin fury label (1050 5/61, 1052 6/61, 1054 11/61, 1064 4/62 & 1073 1/63); why the twelfth track from these six singles ("i want that kind of love") was not included on this very short - albeit cheap - cd is anyone's guess. see the equally budget-priced compilation cd, "letter full of tearss", musical memories rgcd1031, for all twelve of these six singles' a & b-sides, plus thirteen other tracks by them from bobby robinson's fury/fire new york mini-conglomerate of soul, r&b and blues labels. 1 person found this review helpful. ✔︎ Helpful Review?
ppint. 8th Feb 2015		CD Album Howard Shore - The Lord Of The Rings: The Return Of The King (2003)	mods: copy all save barcode: 093624860921, country europe (& possibly rest of non-u.s. world), label = reprise/wea international insofar as there is a label beyond the lord of the rings/the return of the king banner, plus tiny reprise, w, new line records logos. cat# 9362486092 on disc, both obverse & reverse, obverse after these logos plus enhanced cd logo and another unfamiliar to me (an m on a rounded-cornered triangle. (as a not-mod, i can't - sfaiaa- copy an entry and then modify just four fields, or i'd do this.) (then delete this comment, please.)
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.
ppint. 3rd Feb 2015		CD Album Tom Lehrer - The Remains Of Tom Lehrer (2000)	74 tracks in all, and i may not submit another "item" for a little while. . .
