The_Vinyl_Junkie SUBS 10th May 2017		CD Album The Living End - Hellbound (1995)	The bar code on this release indicates it is manufactured in the UK.
The_Vinyl_Junkie SUBS 4th May 2017		CD Album BBC Radiophonic Workshop - The Doctor Who 25th Anniversary Album (1988)	Finally got it all here after four attempts. The Doctor didn't seem to have control of The Tardis and kept drifting off into space.
The_Vinyl_Junkie SUBS 28th Apr 2017		CD Album Social Distortion - Greatest Hits (2007)	Some of the tracks are re-recordings and not the originals.
The_Vinyl_Junkie SUBS 3rd Apr 2017		CD Album Madonna - Erotica (1992)	WEA/Warner Music official CD releases in Australia from the late 80's into the mid 90's were manufactured overseas. Since the "same manufactured" item has been released in 2 plus continents tags it as "International". Australia is not a part of Europe.
The_Vinyl_Junkie SUBS 2nd Apr 2017		CD Album Madonna - Erotica (1992)	The images of this entry is from the Australian release.
The_Vinyl_Junkie SUBS 22nd Mar 2017		CD Album Sigue Sigue Sputnik - Flaunt It (1993)	Track 1 is misspelt on the back inlay and the disc, correct on the insert sheet back.
The_Vinyl_Junkie SUBS 3rd Mar 2017		CD Album Rolling Stones - Shine A Light (2008)	Thanks GEMSMFAN, I was not sure of what label to use and have now changed it to Polydor.
The_Vinyl_Junkie SUBS 20th Dec 2016		CD Album Marty Robbins - The Essential Marty Robbins 1951-1982 (1991)	The Australian discs (1222605/1222606) were pressed by SMEA - Sony Music Entertainment Australia, as were some Australian/New Zealand artists with Aust/NZ releases only.
The_Vinyl_Junkie SUBS 28th Nov 2016		CD Album Suzi Quatro - The Wild One The Greatest Hits (1990)	I agree and have edited the entry accordingly with the Aussie release date in Notes.
The_Vinyl_Junkie SUBS 16th Nov 2016		CD Album Red Hot Chili Peppers - Red Hot Chili Peppers Live	Typo error throughout - "Chilli"
The_Vinyl_Junkie SUBS 16th Nov 2016		CD Album Bruce Hornsby And The Range - The Way It Is (1987)	Image #987116 was from stock supplied by BMG. The reason that the disc only image was entered initially is some light fingers removed the jewel case with sleeve from display. Interesting to see the discogs entry has the disc made in Japan.
The_Vinyl_Junkie SUBS 16th Nov 2016		CD Album Bruce Hornsby And The Range - The Way It Is (1987)	It was officially released in Australia with this cat # and bar code, distributed by BMG Australia, and initially entered as "International". It has subsequently been edited to "Europe".
The_Vinyl_Junkie SUBS 15th Nov 2016		CD Album Bruce Hornsby And The Range - The Way It Is (1987)	Shouldn't this be International since the rear inlay has: "© 1986 RCA/Ariola International" and the disc has: "℗ 1986 RCA/Ariola International"?
The_Vinyl_Junkie SUBS 2nd Nov 2016		CD Album Radiohead - OK Computer (1997)	Added the Australian rear inlay and disc images, all other artwork is identical.
The_Vinyl_Junkie SUBS 19th Oct 2016		CD Album Wendy O. Williams - A Retrospective (1999)	The first issued discs were of a poorer quality in some of the recordings.
The_Vinyl_Junkie SUBS 29th Sep 2016		CD Album Kitaro - Silver Cloud (1984)	I did notice on my invoices that import material had a higher wholesale price and there were some retailers that hadn't picked it and were selling at standard RRP. Some Kitaro titles were released at normal price but I honestly can't remember. One needs the Platterlog sheets through the 80's.
The_Vinyl_Junkie SUBS 28th Sep 2016		CD Album Kitaro - Silver Cloud (1984)	This was available in Australia through PolyGram but unsure whether it had standard retail price tag or at import price.
The_Vinyl_Junkie SUBS 22nd Sep 2016		CD Album Dire Straits - Brothers In Arms (1985)	Released in Australia through PolyGram with the Original booklet image #'s 311379 to 311387 and the third embodiment image #'s 340099, 340100 which brings it into an International release.
The_Vinyl_Junkie SUBS 12th Sep 2016		CD Album Nick Cave And The Bad Seeds - Kicking Against The Pricks (1992)	A Nick Cave spoon...now that's getting into serious collecting.
The_Vinyl_Junkie SUBS 4th Sep 2016		CD Album k.d. lang And The Reclines - Absolute Torch And Twang (1989)	The couple of CD titles I own released through WEA in July 1989 are manufactured in Germany: (Jenny Morris - Shiver and Transvision Vamp - Velveteen). At that stage WEA were using the shortened barcode digits as the local cat #. It wasn't until the 1990's that they adopted the longer international number to match the change to Warner Music.
The_Vinyl_Junkie SUBS 2nd Sep 2016		CD Album Stevie Nicks - Rock A Little (1985)	In the very early days of CD's in Australia, the major companies had 90% of their CD's manufactured in Europe for local distribution. Small time independent retailers purchased all their stocks directly from the major companies. When central distribution came about along with minimum value orders the rules were relaxed by the majors allowing the independent retailers to get stocks from the one-stop wholesaler. Of the Independent retailers in Western Australia only a couple did direct importing (including myself) for product not readily available from the major companies. This title was available from EMI with the disc as shown in image # 1142739.
The_Vinyl_Junkie SUBS 1st Sep 2016		CD Album Kazuyuki K. Null And James Plotkin - Aurora (1996)	Review On first listening it was like an extended intro with the disc ending while you are still waiting to get into it. After subsequent listens it still did not do anything exciting to get you wanting more. Can understand why a chain retailer ended up with it on special for $2. 3 people found this review helpful. ✔︎ Helpful Review?

The_Vinyl_Junkie SUBS 21st Jun 2016		CD Album Various Artists - Monster Sounds And "Boppin" Tracks Vol. 1 (1995)	The artwork on the front is the same as the Power Records 342 cover for "Frankie Stein And His Ghouls". Also the back artwork is from his first LP with Power.
The_Vinyl_Junkie SUBS 16th Jun 2016		CD Album Willie Logan - The Legend Lives (1996)	Complete with the artwork/design to catch the unsuspecting they were getting Marc Bolan. Don't worry I purchased it just to see how good/bad Willie was.
