TheJudge 16th Sep 2019		CD Album Rockets To Ruin - Rockets To Ruin (2004)	There's this at AllMusic, but it gives 2008 as the year of release.
TheJudge 8th Sep 2019		CD Album Cannonball Adderley - Somethin' Else (1986)	Likely yours was manufactured in NL for Europe-wide distribution. What's the title of track 06 on yours? If it's 'Alison's Uncle' then you should add a new entry (with 'Europe' as the country). If it's called 'Bangoon', then perhaps it should be added to the existing Europe entry as a variant.
TheJudge 21st Aug 2019		CD Album Boards Of Canada - Music Has The Right To Children (1998)	Roygbiv - sublime! [YouTube Video]
TheJudge 27th Apr 2019		CD Album The Isley Brothers - The Motown Anthology (2009)	I would disagree, in that the rim-text shows only that Motown owns the rights to the recordings, and that all other credits are to Universal (or, to be preceise, 'Universal-Island').
TheJudge 17th Sep 2018		CD Album Cinerama - Disco Volante (2000)	Sometime in about 1999, the legendary John Peel set David Gedge a challenge: "Why don't you write a song using the phrase 'Your charms'?". Not long after, Gedge did. He came up with this absolute belter of a song: Your Charms: [YouTube Video]
TheJudge 11th Aug 2018		CD Album Half Man Half Biscuit - McIntyre, Treadmore And Davitt (1991)	Christian Rock Concert: [YouTube Video]
TheJudge 11th Aug 2018		CD Album Half Man Half Biscuit - This Leaden Pall (1993)	Malayan Jelutong: [YouTube Video]
TheJudge 11th Aug 2018		CD Album Half Man Half Biscuit - Some Call It Godcore (1995)	Fear My Wraith: [YouTube Video]
TheJudge 11th Aug 2018		CD Album Half Man Half Biscuit - Trouble Over Bridgwater (2000)	It's Clichéd To Be Cynical At Christmas: [YouTube Video]
TheJudge 11th Aug 2018		CD Album Half Man Half Biscuit - 90 Bisodol (Crimond) (2011)	RSVP: [YouTube Video]
TheJudge 11th Aug 2018		CD Album Half Man Half Biscuit - Urge For Offal (2014)	Mileage Chart: [YouTube Video]
TheJudge 11th Aug 2018		CD Album Half Man Half Biscuit - No-One Cares About Your Creative Hub So Get Your Fuckin' Hedge Cut (2018)	Every Time A Bell Rings: [YouTube Video]
TheJudge 2nd Jul 2018		CD Album The Orb - No Sounds Are Out Of Bounds (2018)	Having listened through twice, I can't say that it's that special to be honest. The last five tracks are pretty strong (although not in 'classic' territory), but the first seven sound way too much like Adventures Beyond The Ultraworld, which was, let us remember, 27 years ago. Funnily enough, the instrumental versions sound much stronger throughout.
TheJudge 25th Jun 2018		CD Album The Orb - No Sounds Are Out Of Bounds (2018)	I'd forgotten that this was coming out. Ordered tonight, along with the instrumental CD.
TheJudge 22nd Jun 2018		CD Album Half Man Half Biscuit - CSI: Ambleside (2008)	National Shite Day - a suitable song for almost any occasion: [YouTube Video] (You can read the lyrics at the HMHB Lyrics Project)
TheJudge 21st Jun 2018		CD Album Genesis - Turn It On Again...The Hits (1999)	I've added it as a secondary cat#. Also, this is the Australian release (it says 'Printed in Australia' under the barcode, and the barcode itself is different from the UK/Europe release), so I've changed that over.
TheJudge 14th Jun 2018		CD Album Soular - Time And Space (2004)	Could also be the release date. Could, of course, also be both...
TheJudge 10th Jun 2018		CD Album The Who - The Who Sell Out Deluxe Edition (2009)	Eh?
TheJudge 24th Feb 2018		CD Album Kiss - Destroyer	All entries go live as soon as they're submitted. You may be seeing (or, rather, not seeing) a server caching issue. Certainly nothing sinister going on.
TheJudge 19th Jan 2018		CD Album Love - Forever Changes (2008)	Shouldn't this be listed under 'Rhino'? Or 'Upfront'?
TheJudge 22nd Dec 2017		CD Album Kraftwerk - Ultra Rare Trax	I don't think it's quite as clear cut as it is with the 'Meccano' one. These are unofficial remixes of KW tracks rather than the originals. I don't have this one, but I have the URT CD of remixes of The Orb: ORB 1
TheJudge 22nd Dec 2017		CD Album Kraftwerk - Meccano (2003)	Bootleg.
TheJudge 27th Oct 2017		CD Album Sparks - Hippopotamus (2017)	Review The 23rd(?) album by the Mael brothers finds them rejuvenated and operating with supreme confidence in their material. The quirkiness is there, of course; but it is allied to a strong understanding of such a variety of styles and genres that there is no sense of novelty for novelty's sake here. From the borderline Drum 'n' Bass silliness of Giddy Giddy, via a cheeky tribute to horizontal jogging to the orchestral pop of the title track, there is an assuredness and cohesion about the whole work. And only Ron & Russell could have the lines, "When you're a French director/You're an auteur as well/What does this mean?/Every scene/Must be obscure as hell" sung by an actual French director (their friend and sometime collaborator Leos Carax). There are so many echoes of other things here: the near-Beatles musical sensibilities of Scandinavian Design (Norwegian Wood Part II?), echoes of the style of early/mid-90s Chumbawamba in So Tell Me Mrs. Lincoln..., plus other influences which someone more au fait with the modern scene than I am would pick up on. All this is underpinned by superb arrangements and a very solid band behind them. This is Sparks' strongest album in nearly two decades, and it may be their most consistently strong outing ever. My album of the year! 5 people found this review helpful. ✔︎ Helpful Review?
TheJudge 22nd Oct 2017		CD Album The Byrds - (Untitled) / (Unissued) [Expanded Edition] (2000)	"The Bryds"!!? Corrected.
TheJudge 7th Oct 2017		CD Album Sparks - Hippopotamus (2017)	Just heard all the tracks on YT, and it's absolutely brilliant. Ordered immediately! Here's the official vid for Missionary Position: [YouTube Video] Incidentally, the Japanese issue has a bonus track, You've Earned The Right To Be A Dick.
TheJudge 2nd Oct 2017		CD Album Frank Zappa - Civilization Phaze III (1994)	Any chance you could add the front of the digipak to replace my image with the sticker on? *Done*
TheJudge 16th Aug 2017		CD Album John Entwistle - Boris The Spider (2001)	If we didn't have them, we'd have a lot of entries placed under the country of manufacture. Discs intended for international distribution are manufactured in only one or two countries (e.g. NL), and it's the country of release which concerns us here.
TheJudge 30th Jun 2017		CD Album Muireann Nic Amhlaoibh - Ar Uair Bhig An Lae · The Small Hours (2013)	Her name would probably be Anglicised as 'Maureen MacAuley' ('Nic' being the female counterpart to 'Mac').
TheJudge 5th May 2017		CD Album Penguin Cafe - The Imperfect Sea (2017)	Here you go, chums - Penguins fresh in today! (What sort of obsession is it which makes me upload the entry to here before I've even listened to it?) Update: I've now listened to it - it's a beaut!
TheJudge 1st Mar 2017		CD Album The Helio Sequence - Negotiations (2012)	There were problems with Amazon's cloud servers last night. Should be fixed now.
