sladesounds 2nd Oct 2018		CD Album John Mellencamp - Dance Naked (2013)	[YouTube Video]
sladesounds 1st Oct 2018		CD Album John Mellencamp - No Better Than This (2010)	[YouTube Video]
sladesounds 7th Aug 2018		CD Album John Mayall With Eric Clapton - Blues Breakers (1988)	I think this one could be later than 1988 as the tray scan shows "Made in Germany" which indicates (to me) after 1990. My copy just added has again same cat# and barcode# but on London stating made in "West Germany".
sladesounds 4th Aug 2018		CD Album Queen - Nothing Really Matters (2017)	What happened to disc three?
sladesounds 20th Jul 2018		CD Album Various Artists - Mojo And Trojan Present Reggae Nuggets (2018)	The credits given in the magazine are hit and miss regarding composers and have been corrected as necessary. Track 16 is credit on the card cover as "Lester Sterling & The Skatalites"
sladesounds 30th Apr 2018		CD Album John Mellencamp - Words And Music (2004)	[YouTube Video] [YouTube Video]
sladesounds 24th Apr 2018		CD Album Monkey [Damon Albarn] - Journey To The West (2008)	From wikipedia: Damon Albarn made a point in an interview with Gorillaz-Unofficial that the Monkey project was supposed to be "Gorillaz, really. But we can’t call it that for legal reasons". Based the novel "Journey to the West" by Wu Cheng'en and recorded entirely in Mandarin, this was the first album of its kind to chart in the UK.

sladesounds 11th Mar 2018		CD Album Michael Jackson - Thriller (1988)	The cat# CDEPC 85930 appears in the top right corner of the tray scan hence why it is included with the main cat#
sladesounds 18th Jan 2018		CD Album Roy Orbison - The MGM Years (1965-1973) (2015)	Thank you! Yes leave it up for a while, I know when I've entered box sets it sometimes takes a few days to get it all organized. .
sladesounds 18th Jan 2018		CD Album Roy Orbison - The MGM Years (1965-1973) (2015)	The individual cds need to be entered by the owner and then linked to this "top" entry
sladesounds 30th Nov 2017		CD Album Coldplay - Parachutes (2000)	[YouTube Video]
sladesounds 11th Nov 2017		CD Album The Flying Burrito Bros - Hot Burritos! The Flying Burrito Bros Anthology 1969-1972 (2000)	[YouTube Video]

sladesounds 11th Oct 2017		CD Album The Beatles - Purple Album 1962-1966	A strange case of a bootleg being bootlegged. I pick this up in the early 2000's (I think) around the time all the other Purple Chick releases started flooding the newsgroups. Basically you have a fan compiling a fantasy 1962-1966 using tracks that appeared on the various Beatle's Purple Chick deluxe editions. Unlike the "genuine" Purple Chick releases very little information is provided about the actual recordings and no cat# is used. The big give away is the small print on scan 3 which states "Purple Chick logo used without permission"! I have had a good look on t'web for more information and to try and discover who actually put this together but failed miserably. Any other catters know more?
sladesounds 11th Oct 2017		CD Album Johnny Cash - America (2001)	[YouTube Video]
sladesounds 11th Oct 2017		CD Album Johnny Cash - America (2001)	Review An interesting album that was first released in 1972. On the album Johnny Cash attempts to tell the 200 year story of America condensed into a 40 minute mixture of songs and spoken word. Subject covered are many and include Lincoln's Gettysburg Address, tales of Paul Reeve and Big Foot and renditions of a few classic songs such as The Battle of New Orleans. There are better Cash albums out there and I would be tempted to point people elsewhere if they wanted classic Cash but then this is the man singing about America and how good it is and has been, and for many that's good enough! Personally 2.5 / 5 stars 5 people found this review helpful. ✔︎ Helpful Review?
sladesounds 9th Oct 2017		CD Album Arcade Messiah - Trilogy (2017)	[YouTube Video] [YouTube Video] [YouTube Video]
sladesounds 20th Sep 2017		CD Album Various Artists - No More Heroes (2015)	[YouTube Video]
sladesounds 20th Sep 2017		CD Album Various Artists - No More Heroes (2015)	Midge Ure and Glen Matlock [YouTube Video]
sladesounds 20th Sep 2017		CD Album Various Artists - No More Heroes (2015)	Review Artwork shows the obligatory safety pin so this must be cutting edge (or so the advertising gurus will want us to think). What you actually get is a good run through some of the great pop releases that hit the UK charts during 1978 - 83 with a few obscure gems chucked in to meet the punk tag. Disc one features a few early punk tracks from The Damned, Ramones and Richard Hell but is mostly great power pop tunes from the likes of Buzzcocks, Skids, Rezillos. Automatic Lover by The Vibrators is a good one that does not turn up on these complications that often. Disc two carries on the power pop theme with Blondie, Pretenders, Regents but again slips a the odd more obscure one such as Shake Some Action from the Flamin' Groovies. Split Enz and The Mobiles... both good songs but really stretching the genre to include them on this compilation (I always thought of The Mobiles as Hazel O'Connor soundalikes). Disc 3 again has some great tracks that at the time were marketed as New WaveAlternative but again more power pop oriented. One or two real gems are there with The Damned, 999, and Wreckless Eric. Nice to see Glen Matlock's Rich Kids getting an entry. All of this is music of my youth so I don't personally think there is a bad song on any of the three discs. Overall a big thumbs up from me especially as it can picked up on ebay for just a few pounds. 3 people found this review helpful. ✔︎ Helpful Review?
sladesounds 19th Sep 2017		CD Album Rod Stewart - If We Fall In Love Tonight (1996)	2nd European (?) issue with slight variation to cat# and barcode. Note that the booklet and tray listings agree with the actual disc track list unlike other European issue.
sladesounds 18th Sep 2017		CD Album Rod Stewart - If We Fall In Love Tonight (1996)	I notice the booklet and rear tray scan do not agree with the track listing - what is the correct listing with this cd....is track 4 so far away or sometimes when we touch? Likewise track 13 is it sailing or broken arrow. (Mod Edit) Now corrected
sladesounds 6th Sep 2017		CD Album The Beatles - Let It Be (2007)	[YouTube Video]
sladesounds 4th Sep 2017		CD Album The Beatles - Revolver (2007)	[YouTube Video]
sladesounds 14th Aug 2017		CD Album Biscuit Boy (a.k.a. Crackerman) - Fat Chance (2001)	Biscuit Boy (a.k.a. Crackerman) aka Paul Heaton of The Beautiful South
sladesounds 17th Jul 2017		CD Album Various Artists - The Old Grey Whistle Test Prog Rock (2011)	Yes the "Prog Rock" tag is being a little stretched with this disc. I loved as a teen watching the show. Although a fair few prog rockers made it on the show over the years I remember it introducing me to the likes of Elvis Costello, Ramones, Bob Marley and the New York Dolls all who were definitely not prog rockers :-)
