ppint. 9th Nov 2019		CD Album The Corrs - Home (2005)	*hell, yeah!, fokeman* - the "incorrect" use of capital letters by this particular catter is far more important than the accuracy and even presence of the bibliographic and other recorded "minutiae" - including information on series and two-way links to & from their elements: it's not as though it's the information regarding the various forms of recorded music - or of the books and their contents, or of the recorded films and t.v., and theirs, and to their interrelationships - that really matters now, not in comparison with so heinous a crime - is it? - except that various other* contributors' variations in usage and formatting, including Apparently randomly Capitalising every other Word, or Possibly every other Other Word, or Not, or spellingz, or Using numera1s INSTEAD OF l3tt3rs or w0rds, or erratic or perhap's its consis'tently incorrect use of apostrophe's, or committing malapropisms or whatever, parses without excoriation, expectoration or exorcism being ejaculated, performed or taken . . . - so is it possible that the provision of accurate bibliographic "minutiae" regarding books and their contents, and the various forms of recorded music, etc., may actually be of greater, rather than lesser, import? - and, fwiw, "inexplicably" may not be quite* le mot juste, given explication has in fact been provided more than once; and, in fact and indeed, once quite recently. . .
ppint. 6th Nov 2019		CD Album The Corrs - Home (2005)	it being of course not possible that yr hmbl srppnt. has entered the data for this or any other item owned, physically held and examined by myself correctly. . . ..though yr hmbl srppnt. does bother to give such minor details as composers as given in the booklet, on the tray inlay, or even on the disc itself - unlike certain contributors... - the item may be examined by others by appointment with myself and in my presence at such a place and time as may be convenient to and agreed with me; other terms and conditions may apply as yr hmbl srppnt. from time to time deems fit, appropriate and/or necessary.
ppint. 29th Oct 2019		CD Album The Corrs - Home (2005)	disc manufactured in the yuk-of-gb, atlantic logo warner music uk ltd: it's distributed throughout the dreaded ee-yewww° ° - and prob'ly the rest of yeurp, through the mediterranean, north africa and the near east at least...
ppint. 28th Oct 2019		CD Album The Monkees - Original Album Series (2009)	but track 1.03 title isn't given as "david gates" on disc nor on packaging as shown. . . [Mod: sorted!]
ppint. 28th Oct 2019		CD Album The Corrs - In Blue (Special Edition) (2000)	lee: i don't seriously doubt you - but would "warehouse" be a known nz retailer of new cds at (prob'ly) full list retail price of $29.99 ? (asked, cos this ppint. definitely does not know - and i bought it/them/this, in vg+ condition, s/h here in the english north-wet. at least partly hence, my comment...°) (° - who'd buy it in kiwiiiia, carry it to the north lancashire seaside in yukia, and give it away to a charity shop in morecambe, "the last resort"?°°) (°° - it must be "international" !!!)
ppint. 27th Oct 2019		CD Album The Corrs - In Blue (Special Edition) (2000)	retailed new in "warehouse" at $29.99 - whose $$, and ware wherehouse's wearabouts may be... (so should prob'ly best be re-flagged "international" (since it's hard to get further afield from aunty podes), just to be on the safe side...)
ppint. 26th Oct 2019		CD Album Various Artists - Heritage Of The Celts (2002)	hallmark music & entertainment logo (p) & © 2002 pickwick group limited hallmark is a label owned by pickwick released under licence from music masters made in the netherlands track-listing and artists from rear inlay (copies of cd still shrinkwrapped as bought to give as presents); track 22 above: title actually there given as "air (for ireland)" which doesn't make very much sense, so i reversed the parenthesizing. (songs, tunes, melodies being still termed "airs" quite quotidienly across the water, though not here...) track 5 above: artist should just be "soazig" and should be followed by track 6 as is, then track 7 "brezhoneg" by soazig; then listing as given, numbered tracks 8 onwards until: track 17 above: title should be preceded by "SECTIONBREAK " ho-hum. very ho-hum. (- my mistakes in keying-in the data, not the music.)
ppint. 25th Oct 2019		CD Album Ennio Morricone - The Music Of Ennio Morricone (2007)	ah - all is now made clear!
ppint. 15th Oct 2019		CD Album Paul Simon - The Paul Simon Songbook (2004)	@snig72: somewhat delayed thanks
ppint. 15th Oct 2019		CD Album John Rabbit Bundrick - Run For Cover (1995)	(i've - evidently - forgotten the syntax - and possibly also the right command & place - to break separate sections, in this case, the final "bonus" track; might a long-suffering semi-divine being be so good as to assist - perhaps?) (+22 hrs edit: thanks for the speedy semi-divine reformation)
ppint. 15th Oct 2019		CD Album John Rabbit Bundrick - Run For Cover (1995)	credits from the 12pp. saddle-stapled, colour-printed front insert booklet which includes the full lyrics. the album is described as a compilation, but also as john rabbit bundrick's "first fully-fledged solo album since his days at island records."
ppint. 14th Oct 2019		CD Album The Everly Brothers - The Everly Brothers Volume One / Two (2006)	the two cds only ever distributed separately, one week apart, promoting sales of the consecutive issues of the sunday express newspaper.
ppint. 14th Oct 2019		CD Album Connie Francis - Connie Francis Greatest Hits (1994)	*nods* yr hmbl srppnt., not having had to deal with an obi on an imported disc before, and having no knowledge of the japanese music industry, nor written nor spoken language, nor numerals, felt it wisest to refrain from opining upon how to deal with the obi and the information contained thereon. . . yes, this cd's label appears to be "classic hits" judging by the sample of one: but i looked through the discs of all charly cds i could easily find images of here on cdworld, that are german, uk and yeurppean, and come to the conclusion there aren't yet enough of 'em up, to be sure of a sensible way to divide them into "charly (german flag) (definite sub-label)" - whereas they are all "charly (german flag) (so far amorphous group of possibly linked sub-labels)"; - hence my suggestion of how to group them whilst waiting for enough to be added, for it to become clearer which actually are separate labels, and which are in fact slight variations of one label sharing , say, the one "classic hits", " classic soul", "classic $foo1, $foo2, ..." and "classic $foox" label cat# sequence - and, for that matter, if they do.
ppint. 13th Oct 2019		CD Album Connie Francis - Connie Francis Greatest Hits (1994)	this is a charly schallplaten gmbh cd, and so should be re-flagged german: it gives the german street address, in frankfurt-am-main, etc. in evidence of this. it is not on "the cedar label" as this is an electronic/computer audio tape/source noise-removal technology, and the name of the company providing the service using this commercially, not a music co. the label should be changed to charly - or "charly schallplaten gmbh", as this already exists on cdcat (though it shouldn't really have the "gmbh", as part of its name on 45worlds.com - nor, arguably, the "schallplaten", as this means "records" which isn't included in label names here)°. (° - so better-aligned with 45worlds' practice would be to give the two german charly schallplaten gmbh cds the label name, "charly", and the german flag; and to await the addition of enough german charly label cds, to make clearer if & into what they should be sub-divided.)
ppint. 12th Oct 2019		CD Album Simply Red - Live In Cuba Volumes One & Two (2006)	these promo for mail on sunday editions released only as separate single cds, one week apart: volume one (first cd) in the two-pocket card sleeve (front only shown), cat# mos041 volume two (second cd) in its own single-pocket card sleeve (not shown), cat# mos042. *nothing* is entitled ''...volumes one & two'' *nothing* bears a cat# mos041/2. all songs recorded live in havana, cuba all songs taken from the simply red concert dvd "cuba!", out now! also available the studio album "simplified" volume two, track 10 is feetnoted as "exclusive bonus track" "recorded by tony allington / richmond studios" licensed from simplyred.com ltd www.simplyred.com photography hamish brown
ppint. 11th Oct 2019		CD Album Brenda Holloway - The Best Of Brenda Holloway – The Millennium Collection (2003)	four.

ppint. 10th Oct 2019		CD Album Ennio Morricone - The Music Of Ennio Morricone (2007)	Track 7 composer credit on card sleeve is (Guarani) (Morricone), so credit here should be changed to "Guarani, Morricone" as the use of parentheses is impermissible on/in 45worlds.com composer credits. Performances are by: Derek Wadsworth conductor, The City Of Prague Philharmonic, The Crouch End Festival Choir: tracks 1, 6; Derek Wadsworth conductor, the City Of Prague Philharmonic: tracks 3, 4; Paul Bateman conductor, The City Of Prague Philharmonic: track 2; Paul Bateman, piano and conductor, The City Of Prague Philharmonic: track 5; David Templeman director, The Crouch End Festival Choir: track 7; Nic Raine conductor, The City Of Prague Philharmonic: track 8; Nic Raine conductor, Marie Kopecka soloist, The City Of Prague Philharmonic, The Crouch End Festival Choir: track 9; Gareth Williamson, The Crouch End Festival Choir: track 10.
ppint. 7th Oct 2019		CD Album Fats Domino - Blueberry Hill (1991)	be very wary of *all* cds bearing the name "tring international" - or even just the town name of "tring" on them: they are very likely to be of low quality, may not involve more than one - or any ? - of the musicians, including vocalists, with whom the purported group, band or vocal combo is normally associated, and will often be or include re-recordings made using inferior equipment, sometimes decades later than the expected tracks: "caveat emptor" indeed. . .
ppint. 5th Oct 2019		CD Album Kevin Ayers - Rainbow Takeaway / That's What You Get Babe (2011)	leonard: (somewhat belated) thanks for rationalising bgo/beat goes on into one listing.
ppint. 4th Oct 2019		CD Album The Platters - The Magic Touch (2007)	*nods* - but, in the interim, it makes sense to have em all flagged the same, no? - and they don't indicate any distributor, other than the uk op... (& anything with the cedar logo on it should be inspected with care, and great assiduity, ime: not all are junk, but they often seem to be.. ..a little different to that as which they initially appear to be packaged...)
ppint. 3rd Oct 2019		CD Album The Troggs - The Very Best Of The Troggs	label appears to be pyramid (or possibly pyramid collection); not dancebuy: dancebuy ltd. is the distributor. the whole cd &c. looks somewhat iffy - a bootleg, perhaps, or a "free with magazine/part-work issue" cheapie ?
ppint. 3rd Oct 2019		CD Album Louis Prima And Keely Smith - Louis And Keely (1993)	label is^W was wrong and should^W has been corrected to jasmine see cd, back cover/rear insert/tray inlay, etc.
ppint. 3rd Oct 2019		CD Album The Platters - The Magic Touch (2007)	should^W has been re-flagged uk though the disc is made in the czech republic, the jasmine label is based in the uk (& distribution seems to be uk, too - see back cover/rear insert/tray inlay)
ppint. 3rd Oct 2019		CD Album Various Artists - Good Times : The Early Career Of Mac Rebennack Aka Dr. John (2015)	should^W has been re-flagged uk though the disc is made in the czech republic, the jasmine label is based in the uk
ppint. 3rd Oct 2019		CD Album The Dells - Time Makes You Change 1954-1961 (2012)	should^W has been re-flagged uk though the discs be made in the czech republic, the jasmine label is based in the uk
ppint. 3rd Oct 2019		CD Album Bill Mack - Play My Boogie (2010)	should^W has been re-flagged uk; though the cd's made in the czech republic, the jasmine label is based in the uk
ppint. 3rd Oct 2019		CD Album The Kinks - The Kinks Are The Village Green Preservation Society (1998)	somewhat belated thanks, plocky45.
ppint. 1st Oct 2019		CD Album The Doors - Strange Days (2007)	making release country a tag, and therefore non-exclusive of others, sounds like it would work: it would in fact also be appropriate to lpcat (vinyl albums), once the great multi/trans-national musicmegacorpse conglommerglutination got (im)properly under way... - and it could presumably be set to display the current mini flags, which people do seem to like - - and the coding for tags has also been written by the possibly mythical creator cat; - and cataloguing (entering) cds by artist - title - label - cat# - barcode would be using indica that are on the cds, and on their printed inlay cards+inserts/digipacks/card sleeves - so it wouldn't demand expert knowledge/inspirational interpretation of auspices, bones and internal organs, neither. . .
ppint. 30th Sep 2019		CD Album The Doors - Strange Days (2007)	lol! so what are the defining characteristics of audio (including music, dramatised performances, dramatised readings, sound effects, whale & bird song, etc.) cds ? some are or have been published by small companies for essentially the local country/countries/trading bloc. they may hold the rights to sell further afield (and may not), but either don't do so, or it is only done if a wholesaler/distributor in a country or trading bloc picks up the publisher's catalogue. some are or have been published by large national companies for essentially the local country/countries/trading bloc and for sale anywhere else in the world they hold the rights to do so, whether exclusively or not, but may not do much of this open market business. some are or have been published by multi- & trans-national megacorpses in one or more of the territorial distribution areas they carve up sound recordings rights into; these cds, any one megacorpse may have manufactured, or had manufactured for them, in one or more factories more or less locally to each of these distribution territories - and the number of these distinct territories has shrunk, and the size of each of them increased accordingly, depending mostly upon predominant language blocs, legal requirements of major countries and trading blocs, economies of large scale manufacture, distribution costs, especially trans-oceanic distribution costs (whether by air freight or wet containerised shipping). it looks rather as though "international" should not be an alternative ruling out countries, but an optional addition; does the same apply to "europe" ? to "north america"? to "south america" ? to "australasia" ? to "south-east asia, including malaysia, indonesia, melanesia & micronesia" (is this the right split?) ? to "india (& what else)" ? to "southern africa" ? to "north africa & the near east" ? to "west africa" ? to "china" ? - i'm asking all of these, cos i don't actually know what the major territories the musicmegacorpses currently split the prerecorded cd world into.
