Syd Vliet 12th May 2014		CD Album John Lennon - Imagine John Lennon (Music From The Motion Picture) (1988)	It does have a couple of tracks that I don't think have appeared anywhere else since (officially): "Real Love" (Acoustic Guitar Demo Take 6 of 7) and "Imagine (Rehearsal)".
Syd Vliet 12th May 2014		CD Album The Plastic Ono Band - Live Peace In Toronto 1969 (1995)	Added back cover and disc scans. This is a re-mix. The original vinyl mix has never been issued on CD.
Syd Vliet 11th May 2014		CD Album Fleetwood Mac - Greatest Hits Live (1988)	Recorded live in Boston, MA, 5th-7th February 1970. Poor packaging - A single sheet cover with just the standard disc care info on the back. They also used an early pic of Mac before Danny Kirwan joined, who is fairly prominent on the disc itself.
Syd Vliet 11th May 2014		CD Album John Lennon - Menlove Ave. (1987)	Have added a scan of the disc, bought in December 1987 - Made in Japan.
Syd Vliet 10th May 2014		CD Album John And Yoko / Plastic Ono Band - Some Time In New York City (1987)	Although Frank Zappa is given a co-writing credit in the booklet for "Scumbag", he isn't credited for "Jamrag" despite the core of that track being a straightforward run through of his composition "King Kong" with Yoko adding free-form vocals. This oversight, which had appeared on the original LP, was not corrected for the 2010 remaster either. Something I'd forgotten about when typing in the details, so I 'wrongly' added Zappa's name to it.
Syd Vliet 10th May 2014		CD Album John Lennon - Imagine John Lennon (Music From The Motion Picture) (1988)	Added the disc.
Syd Vliet 10th May 2014		CD Album John Lennon / Yoko Ono - John & Yoko The Interview: Recorded 6th December 1980 With Andy Peebles (1990)	Will add scans in due course.
Syd Vliet 10th May 2014		CD Album John Lennon - The Last Word (1988)	An edit of John's last recorded interview with an introduction by Bob Miles. Plus, somewhat jarringly, a 1964 recording of John reading "I Sat Belonely" tagged on to the end. The whole thing is unhelpfully presented as one 55 minute track.
Syd Vliet 10th May 2014		CD Album John Lennon - Menlove Ave. (1987)	Those dates are for the vinyl and tape editions. The CD was definitely delayed and the 13th April 1987 date is given in Allen J.Wiener's book "The Ultimate Recording Guide".
Syd Vliet 10th May 2014		CD Album The Beatles - The Beatles 1967-1970 [The Blue Album] (1993)	Curiously, both of my blue album discs as well as disc 2 of the 1993 red album set suffered severe disc rot and became unplayable after about 10 years.
Syd Vliet 10th May 2014		CD Album John Lennon - Menlove Ave. (1987)	I had a lot of trouble finding a CD of this album in England, eventually spotting one eight months after release, which suggests there was no European pressing.
Syd Vliet 10th May 2014		CD Album John Lennon - The John Lennon Collection (1989)	Not a great representation of John's solo work as there's far too many "Double Fantasy" tracks.
Syd Vliet 8th May 2014		CD Album Cream - Goodbye (1986)	Release date is Jan/1984 according to "The Great Rock Discography" by M.C. Strong
Syd Vliet 8th May 2014		CD Album The Who - Who's Next (1983)	I did consider listing these Polydor/RSO discs as German but almost all of the CD's I bought in England 1986-1988 were manufactured in West Germany and they were clearly targeted at the British/European market as much as Germany. Unlike many of the Japanese discs, the German discs were not sold as imports (The Japanese discs were usually approaching double the regular price, not so the German discs). Germany is in Europe anyway so it's not worth worrying about.
Syd Vliet 8th May 2014		CD Album Can - Monster Movie (1994)	Unlike the other 1994 Can CD's, this one only had a 4 page booklet (as opposed to 8) and so no photographs were included.
Syd Vliet 8th May 2014		CD Album The Doors - The Doors (1983)	Added a scan of the disc which has the older Elektra logo, not the typical 1980's one.
Syd Vliet 7th May 2014		CD Album The Jimi Hendrix Experience - Axis: Bold As Love (1987)	I bought this when it was part of Polydor's "Special Price" promotion. All of the CD's in that lower-price range had an outer promotion flap stapled to the booklet, obscuring the front cover, but sadly I didn't keep it. Has anybody still got one for this album to scan? Date of release should be 1987 (not 1986)
Syd Vliet 7th May 2014		CD Album The Beatles - Live! At The Star Club In Hamburg Germany 1962 (1985)	Added back cover, disc and obi strip scans. This being one of the very earliest Beatle releases on CD.
Syd Vliet 7th May 2014		CD Album The Jimi Hendrix Experience - Are You Experienced (1985)	Noted, thanks. Wasn't sure if those 'floating' numbers should be included or not.
Syd Vliet 7th May 2014		CD Album The Beatles - The Silver Beatles (1986)	Definitely released 1986, I bought it on 6th October 1986.
Syd Vliet 6th May 2014		CD Album The Beatles - The Silver Beatles (1986)	Some Decca Audition compilations were apparently re-mixed, with certain tracks artificially lengthened, but I think this one is untampered with.
Syd Vliet 6th May 2014		CD Album The Beatles - The Golden Beatles (1986)	The first CD I ever bought.
Syd Vliet 5th May 2014		CD Album The Velvet Underground And Nico - The Velvet Underground And Nico (1986)	My copy of this CD has a label misprint with details for the 1987 Verve compilation "The Modern Jazz Quartet Plus"
Syd Vliet 5th May 2014		CD Album Pink Floyd - Piper At The Gates Of Dawn (1987)	Added back cover, disc and booklet scans
