Marc Bolan And T. Rex - The Ultimate Collection (1991)
The artist and title print on my copy of the disc is black, but the scanner shows it as the same blue as in #743059. Anyone else seeing this?

CD Album
Escapes - The Instrumental Sounds Of The Beatles (1998)
I think it's the name of a series. There are others credit to 'Escapes' with different series titles.

CD Album
The Mamas And The Papas - California Dreamin' · The Best Of The Mamas & The Papas (2012)
This has been raised in the mod forum for comment. For myself, I don't see any reason for a further category, as SHM-CDs are fully compatible with standard CD players. I'm aware that this creates an inconsistency with HDCD and SACD. We'll see what the consensus amongst the mods is.

Removed composer credits where they are not the same as the original artists' attributions.

CD Album
Ravin And Dimi.El - Siddharta Lounge By Buddha Bar (2015)
This can happen if, once you've entered the artists for the individual tracks, you go back and amend the 'headline' artist's name in some way. It cascades that change right down the entry.

I've corrected them now.

CD Album
Enya - Watermark (1988)
I think that it would. We can cross-reference the two afterwards.

CD Album
Jeff Lynne's ELO - Alone In The Universe (2015)
I think that was an inputting error by the member who made the entry. I've amended it to match the others.

Lemonheads - It's A Shame About Ray (1992)
Is 'Mrs Robinson' a hidden track on this issue? There's no mention on sleeve or disc.

CD Album
Stereolab - Margerine Eclipse (2004)
I've changed the label name, whilst being conscious that we have something of a mish-mash for this label on 45cat. I'll investihate that i.d.c.

Pretty Things - S.F. Sorrow (1998)

Sparks - The Girl Is Crying In Her Latte (2023)
Review
Although not quite as consistently outstanding as their previous two albums (Hippopotamus and A Steady Drip Drip Drip), there is still much to acclaim from these veteran funsters. They have once again taken a variety of influences and genres - Escalator is reminiscent of Kraftwerk circa 1973-77 for example, or perhaps the stuff Daniel Miller released on Mute at the end of that same decade - and melded them into their own style.

That style includes, of course, their ability to write near-perfect pop tunes allied to lyrics seeing the world from a very particular viewpoint (Nothing Is As Good... being the prime example here) and also producing the odd flash of the astonishing, such as We Go Dancing, where satirical lyrics are combined with music which at the same time is reminiscent of 20th century orchestral music and provides the creepiest earworm I think I've ever encountered. A fine album.

CD Album
Nirvana - In Utero (1993)
Given that, and given that the barcode is identical, I think that the entries should be merged. The 2nd cat# can be added to that field on the merged entry and a Note included stating that some copies had the extra cat#.
