As with my profile on 45cat., I'm a former community radio presenter. I have a keen interest in collecting vinyl(singles, EPs or LPs) I make my own CDs so I can be guaranteed of authenticity in what goes on these CDs.

Neil Forbes 21st Oct 2015		CD Album Russell Morris - Retrospective	A pick of the tracks for me is "Boom Town" I have an earlier CD issue of this LP, once had the LP but gave it away when I got the CD.
Neil Forbes 15th Oct 2015		CD Album Various Artists - Soul Satisfaction 4	Looks like a collection of real rarities here. Last time I saw Stevie Wonder's "Music Talk" it was on his 3LP set, "*Anthology"(M9-804A3) also issued as "Looking Back*".Don't think it's been issued anywhere else until it turned up here.
Neil Forbes 10th Oct 2015		CD Album Various Artists - Motown Chartbusters Volume 1	No, RC, That one is the "Diana Ross & Supremes Plus" and it didn't come within a bull's roar of the STELO-prefixed issues. MFP was starting to break away from EMI in Australia when that LP hit the budget-price racks.
Neil Forbes 10th Oct 2015		CD Album Various Artists - Motown Chartbusters Volume 1	RC, Have you any other Tamla-Motown LPs with STELO-prefixes? Take a note of the number, STELO-9816 and check it against any other STELO-prefixed issue that you know to be 1971 vintage. If those numbers are lower in range by anything up to 10 numbers, then "Motown Giants" might, just might, be a January, 1972 issue. But I expect it to have been issued in the latter half of 1971.
Neil Forbes 10th Oct 2015		CD Album Various Artists - Motown Chartbusters Volume 1	So have I, but it's an earlier CD issue than the batch that these came from. Chartbusters 5 itself wasn't issued in Australia as such, it was cut down to a twelve-track LP called "Motown Giants"(STELO-9816) and issued in 1971.
