TopPopper 9th Aug 2015		CD Album Robyn Hitchcock - Invisible History (1994)	I've finally uploaded the other disc design. I did make the change to bootleg too - I'm sure this was illicit. In fact, I think I have it in print somewhere via Robyn, that this is a bootleg.
TopPopper 8th Aug 2015		CD Album Various Artists - Soul, Volume 1 & 2 (2005)	I would say that creating a new label here is not a problem, provided it's accurate for the release. While I might agree that they were distributed independently, that's not the major cirterion for listing them separately - the criterion, as I see it, is whether they form part of the same product/album, and in my judgement they do.
TopPopper 8th Aug 2015		CD Album Various Artists - Soul, Volume 1 & 2 (2005)	Tricky one. The two papers are separate, but not entirely, and the two CDs were issued with the intent of making a double album set, complete with double sleeve, even if they were released on different days. I'm unsure whether they should be separated.
TopPopper 8th Aug 2015		CD Album Robyn Hitchcock - Invisible History (1994)	Just checked. Mine is the same in every respect, except the disc itelf (black with two images of Robyn). I'll load it up when I get a chance. Maybe we should change this from Europe to Bootleg?
TopPopper 7th Aug 2015		CD Album Robyn Hitchcock - Groovy Decay (1987)	I bought my non-barcode copy new in Oxford, circa 1990 in Our Price, or Virgin or some such. Annoyingly, when I got home, the CD case was empty, and I had to go all the way back to Oxford to get the CD to go inside! Anyway, I'm guessing the barcode copy was later than 1990.
TopPopper 7th Aug 2015		CD Album Robyn Hitchcock - I Wanna Go Backwards (2007)	Discs 4 and 5 mopped up much of the material on the older outtakes collections, "Invisible Hitchcock" and "You & oblivion". It's testament to how fine a songwriter Robyn is that material of the calibre of "Birdshead", "September Cones", and "The Abandoned Brain" is considered mere leftover.
TopPopper 7th Aug 2015		CD Album Robyn Hitchcock - Invisible History (1994)	I'm pretty certain this is a bootleg. I've got a copy too, but a different disc to this one. I'll check the rest of the packaging too and see if it differs - but I'm sure it's a boot.
TopPopper 3rd Aug 2015		CD Album [no artist listed] - The Best Of Top Of The Pops '77 (2002)	No, I'm afraid I don't - but if I were a betting man, I'd put my money on a common or garden **** up. I can't see any logical reason, other than human error. For example, there's no reason to think "Silver Lady" makes a more effective opener than "Knowing Me Knowing You".
TopPopper 31st Jul 2015		CD Album The Beatles - A Collection Of Beatles Oldies... But Goldies (2001)	Are you watching, Apple? Some people want to buy this product.
TopPopper 20th Jul 2015		CD Album Tony Sheridan And The Savage Young Beatles - Tony Sheridan And The Savage Young Beatles (2008)	Yeah, it's bad. Not only a terrible drawing, but an image from eight years after the recordings, and Ringo isn't even on them. And where's Mr Sheridan?
TopPopper 13th May 2015		CD Album Penguin Cafe Orchestra - Union Cafe (1993)	(Deleted video removed) Exceptionally great album.
TopPopper 13th May 2015		CD Album Robyn Hitchcock And The Egyptians - Gotta Let This Hen Out! (1986)	Pure fabulousity... [YouTube Video]
TopPopper 13th May 2015		CD Album The Savage Young Beatles With Tony Sheridan - Cry For A Shadow (1997)	They don't look very savage on the CD cover.
TopPopper 21st Apr 2015		CD Album Electric Light Orchestra - A Perfect World Of Music (1988)	Interesting artwork on the inside. A fusion of two studio albums.
TopPopper 14th Apr 2015		CD Album John Martyn - Solid Air (2000)	[YouTube Video]
TopPopper 6th Apr 2015		CD Album The Beatles - Sgt.Pepper Plus (2002)	It's a boot. Label detail changed accordingly.
TopPopper 23rd Mar 2015		CD Album Curve - Public Fruit (1992)	I think it's an album - a good old fashioned compilation. When they say it's not a new Curve album, I think they just mean not a brand-new studio album, but stuff which has been heard before.
TopPopper 22nd Mar 2015		CD Album [no artist listed] - Top Of The Pops Volume 17 (2003)	On CD or vinyl?
TopPopper 20th Mar 2015		CD Album [no artist listed] - The Best Of Top Of The Pops '69 (2002)	...And that completes the set of CD re-issues of "The Best of Top of the Pops".
TopPopper 19th Mar 2015		CD Album [no artist listed] - The Best Of Top Of The Pops '71 (2002)	Insert also shown unfolded. Note that the bottom half of the image becomes upside-down when in place in the case.
TopPopper 13th Mar 2015		CD Album The Beatles - Abbey Road	Strange edition. What's wrong with the usual cover?
TopPopper 7th Mar 2015		CD Album Leon Rosselson - Turning Silence Into Song (2004)	[YouTube Video]
TopPopper 6th Mar 2015		CD Album [no artist listed] - The Best Of Top Of The Pops '81 (2002)	Composer credits on track 15 are somewhat odd. Thanks to Archie for help with the uploads.
TopPopper 23rd Feb 2015		CD Album [no artist listed] - Knowing Me, Knowing You: Abba A Tribute (1999)	Thanks to Archie for help with the upload.
TopPopper 21st Feb 2015		CD Album The Marvelettes - Sophisticated Soul (1989)	Change to 1989 then?
TopPopper 19th Feb 2015		CD Album The Kinks - Something Else By The KInks (1998)	I bought this when I got married. Me = Terry; wifey = Julie. Guess what "our song" is!
TopPopper 18th Feb 2015		CD Album Robyn Hitchcock - The Man Upstairs (2014)	[YouTube Video]
TopPopper 18th Feb 2015		CD Album The Smiths - Best . . . I (1992)	Hang the blessed DJ. Because the music they constantly play says nothing to me about my life!! [YouTube Video]
TopPopper 18th Feb 2015		CD Album Joan Armatrading - Greatest Hits (1996)	My absolute favourite Joan Armatrading song [YouTube Video]
TopPopper 18th Feb 2015		CD Album Elton John - Captain Fantastic And The Brown Dirt Cowboy (1987)	The band don't kick in until 2:20, more than half the lifespan of your typical hit single. [YouTube Video]
