Whitesnake - Love Hunter		It wasn't your eyes greg, someone on Discogs actually has listed an edition of "Killers" with the incorrect cat no. Just goes to show that while Discogs is a great resource, it's always worth viewing the information with a fair degree of suspicion! All the more reason for us good folks at 45worlds to make sure this is the place to come to for accuracy. :)

Whitesnake - Love Hunter		That 3121 cat no for "Killers" is definitely incorrect, that belongs to the "Iron Maiden" CD. Just to add to the confusion, two of those editions of "Killers" on Discogs have 1982 on the disc and one has 1981! :D

Whitesnake - Love Hunter		It's certainly true that the CD issues weren't released in the same order as their vinyl counterparts. Of the three pre-87 CDs in gregs78s list, two are the Jaki Graham and Iron Maiden CDs previously mentioned while the third, CD-FA 3040 (Queen's debut album) was indeed released in 1986 (either Nov or Dec) alongside the rest of Queen's back catalogue (including "Queen II" also previously released on Fame). However, the original pressings had CDP cat nos but no CD-FA no and I believe they were issued at full price. These appear to have been reissued in 1992 with CD-FA cats (presumably at mid price), which is supported by the ℗1992 not seen on the original discs.

I still stand by my assertion that Fame issued no CDs before 1987!

Whitesnake - Love Hunter		gregs78s, I think it's highly unlikely that the CDs you mention were issued in 1985.

The Jaki Graham album was a brand new release in 1985 so it's inconceivable that Fame would give it a mid price re-issue in the same year as its original release. My initial investigations (just call me Columbo) puts that CD release down as a 1989 issue. 1985 seems a likely date for the Fame vinyl re-issue of "Killers" but I can't believe there would have been a CD issue to accompany it at that time. I'm going with a 1987 release for that one.

CDs were still a fairly niche product in 1985 with EMI only releasing their most high profile back catalogue items ("Dark Side Of The Moon" - CDP 7 46001 2 - was first out of the blocks in 1984). If memory serves correctly these were all full price releases, not mid price re-issues. I believe the watershed moment for CDs was the release of the Beatles back catalogue in 1987. One reason EMI gave at the time for the delay in the Beatles CDs is that they didn't have the factory capacity to satisfy the anticipated demand. With that in mind, it makes sense that EMI didn't enter the mid price CD market until this time.
