Pridesale 14th Aug 2020		CD Album Various Artists - Pavarotti And Friends Vol.1 And Vol. 2 (2005)	While this is a "double CD" strictly it came as CD1 available on its own with the gatefold cover, and CD2 the following week presumable also in single cover , the two could (but did not have to be) held together. So in short would two entries, one for Disc One and one for Disc Two be better, with maybe the pairing also added or just as related / see also discs ?
Pridesale 28th Oct 2018		CD Album Various Artists - Beat Boom Classics (1995)	Record Note is of course true for Mike Pender's Searchers. But what other group line ups in 1995 changed and re-recorded for this, quite a few would have been doing the 60s revival circuit around clubs and holiday resorts etc. (nothing wrong in that, just nice to know)
Pridesale 2nd Aug 2018		CD Album Various Artists - Solid Gold, Volume 2 (2004)	Thanks folks for adding these, saves me having to ! What I would suggest if anyone has these things still with the paper (some were in a plastic sleeve with the weekend or similar type glossy/colour supplements - I have one still wrapped somewhere ) if they can be added to get a full issue date, no worries if not but for OCD completists its important.
Pridesale 13th Jan 2017		CD Album Florence Foster Jenkins - The Glory (????) Of The Of The Human Voice (2013)	On entries like this, should the Piano Accompanist (1-8) Cosme McMoon get equal artist billing, per sleeve insert, or just disclose by way of record note ?
Pridesale 30th Sep 2014		CD Album Various Artists - Tinmine Soul Supply (2014)	Review Tinmine Soul Supply: 20 Faith-Keeping, Floor Shaking Stompers from Deep in the Numero Vault (NBR-005) Original Vinyl Only! That’s what we used to make this CD… ok, a few came from master tapes, we’ll hope the most parochial soulies will let us slide (though we’re anticipating a Soul Source 10-pager on the topic). A “northern soul” style compilation is just the latest Numbero product to bootleg the extensive Numero catalog… a label you may have heard mentioned through clenched teeth concerning our preference for “replicating” original 45s, rather than splashing them with shite contemporary design. This is a peace offering: a compilation of both talc-covered classics and unheard floor-fillers. What better way to reintroduce our fledgling concern to the UK than by playing straight to the middle? It is the Numbero way. Some, like Walter & the Admerations’ “Man Oh Man,” Lou Ragland’s “I Travel Alone,” or Bob & Fred’s “I’ll Be On My Way” have been on casino-goers’ radars for years, others, like Benny Scott & the Soul Masters “No Other Woman But You” and Rudolph Jacobs “Baby, I Love You” were barely seen outside of a square block in Houston, Texas, let alone dug up by John Anderson forty years ago (although chances are he remembers having a whole palette full of them.) If you’re new to this catalog, you can only go up from here. Numero prides itself on making well-researched, lovingly curated compilations. But this is a Numbero compilation… see, totally different. Peruse the accompanying insert for places to head next. If you know us and love us, most of this will be old hat, but we tucked a few gems in here to make it worth the ten quid you just parted with. If a few carvers get cut, we’ll take it as a compliment. 01. Lou Ragland – I Travel Alone 02. Walter & the Admerations – Man Oh Man 03. James Dockery – My Faith In You Is All Gone 04. Brown Bombers & Soul Partners – Wait For Me 05. Royal Imperials – This Heart Of Mine 06. Majestees – Take Back All Those Things 07. Benny Scott & the Soul Masters – No Other Woman But You 08. Georgettes – Hard Hard 09. Brand New Faces – Brand New Faces 10. Two Plus Two – I’m Sure 11. Royal Esquires – Ain’t Gonna Run 12. Rudolph Jacobs – Baby, I Love You 13. Skip Drake – Wrapped Around Your Finger 14. Headlines – He’s Looking For A Love 15. Helene Smith – Thrills & Chills 16. Combinations – While You Were Gone 17. Notations – Now I Know How It Feels 18. Eula Cooper – Let Our Love Grow Higher 19. Bob & Fred – I’ll Be On My Way 20. Imperial Wonders – Just A Dream http://www.numerogroup.com/blog/10473 ✔︎ Helpful Review?
