TheJudge 21st Nov 2014 | | CD AlbumBoards Of Canada - Tomorrow's Harvest (2013) | I don't think they ever really improved on BoC Maxima (not featured here - yet - but large chunks of which were re-worked for this). That was a stunning album.

TheJudge 7th Nov 2014 | | CD AlbumMaggie Boyle - Reaching Out (1987) | R.I.P. Maggie... :-(

TheJudge 30th Oct 2014 | | CD AlbumTerry Oldfield - Resonance (1988) | Depends on your browser to some extent.
In Firefox, for example:
click on the image to get the full-size version,
then click on 'Save image as' and choose your target folder (images, saving in, for the use of).

TheJudge 16th Oct 2014 | | CD AlbumHalf Man Half Biscuit - Urge For Offal (2014) | Well, I've just listened to it, and it's an absolute cracker!

TheJudge 16th Oct 2014 | | CD AlbumHalf Man Half Biscuit - Urge For Offal (2014) | What does it say about me that I've posted this here before I've even had the chance to listen to it?

TheJudge 27th Sep 2014 | | CD AlbumKraftwerk - The Catalogue (2009) | Two hours it took, and that's just the discs and sleeves. I've had to resort to the camera for the front and back of the box, but I've put them at the bottom for now because the images aren't that good.
(edit: improved the images enough to put them where they should be)
As for the 12"-square art booklets, forgeddit! :-)

TheJudge 24th Sep 2014 | | CD AlbumSeñor Coconut Y Su Conjunto - El Baile Alemán (2000) | By all rights, it shouldn't work. But it does work, and in some cases supremely well.
|
TheJudge 24th Sep 2014 | | CD AlbumPulp - We Love Life (2001) | A sticker on the front of the jewel case states that this is a 'Special Edition', but I've been unable to find out what differentiates it from the standard one except that the 'secondary' cat# for mine is 586 540-2 and there's also a version (if Discogs is to be believed) with the cat# 586 541-2.

TheJudge 24th Sep 2014 | | CD AlbumSteely Dan - Showbiz Kids: The Steely Dan Story 1972-1980 (2000) | With acknowledgement to RPFiller, better front booklet image uploaded.
|
TheJudge 24th Sep 2014 | | CD AlbumVarious Artists - Flashing Echo (2002) | As ever, I can't scan the front of the slipcase due to stickers (why did I do that?), but the front of the booklet is identical anyway.
|
TheJudge 23rd Sep 2014 | | CD AlbumToumani Diabate With Ballake Sissoko - New Ancient Strings/Nouvelles Cordes Anciennes (1999) | Unable to scan the front of the slipcase due to stickers; however, it's identical to the front of the booklet.
|
TheJudge 23rd Sep 2014 | | CD AlbumMike Oldfield - Tubular Bells III (1998) | With acknowledgement to kab2112, clearer front scan uploaded.
|
TheJudge 22nd Sep 2014 | | CD AlbumGenesis - Archive 1967-75 (1998) | I can't scan the front of the pack due to a sticker, but it's identical to the front of the book.

|
TheJudge 20th Sep 2014 | | CD AlbumDatblygu - Wyau & Pyst = 32 Bom = 1987-90 (1995) | The rear of the insert is supposed to be upside down when the front of it is the right way up. Do not adjust your set.
|
TheJudge 17th Sep 2014 | | CD AlbumHalf Man Half Biscuit - This Leaden Pall (1993) | Another scanning annoyance: the background of the back of the booklet and the rear card is supposed to be grey, not nearly white.
|
TheJudge 15th Sep 2014 | | CD AlbumThe Orb - Peel Sessions (1991) | A Huge Ever Growing...
[YouTube Video]
This constitutes one of those musical moments which come along once or twice in your life. I'd never heard of these guys until this, and I remember lying in the dark on a December night in 1989 listening to this on headphones, and having my mind blown open by it.

TheJudge 15th Sep 2014 | | CD AlbumHawkwind - Space Ritual Volume 2 (1990) | Another scanning glitch: the disc is actually silver rather than bronze.

TheJudge 7th Sep 2014 | | CD AlbumHawkwind - The Church Of Hawkwind (1994) | Something went completely cuckoo with the front booklet scan on this one. The main colour is supposed to be identical to the one on the rear card, i.e. a sort of slate grey. However, it scans as a sort of mottled green, and the fiddling I've had to do with the image hardly gets close to how it really looks.
|
TheJudge 7th Sep 2014 | | CD AlbumGenesis - Abacab (1987) | Hmmm...my disc was made by MPO not PDO (I knew that one company had that problem, and thought it was MPO. Apparently not).
The disc plays OK and - having had it about 20 years - assume that either it's not going to be a problem or that the disc was that colour all along, and I just hadn't noticed until I came to scan it.
