23skidoo 30th Sep 2024		CD Single Meredith Brooks - Bitch (Edit) (1997)	Cat # is incomplete. 7807 also begins the cat # for the promo single for Stop (see indexed copy). But the number is longer and is in fact the UPC code, I believe. (Mod. comment: corrected)
23skidoo 3rd Jul 2023		CD Single Sarah McLachlan - I Will Remember You (1995)	I saw this in a jewel case version today but I didn't buy it and I'm not certain if it's the same edition.
23skidoo 3rd Dec 2022		CD Single Kate Bush - Rubberband Girl Limited Collector's Edition (1993)	I was hesitant to open my copy of the CD on this promo, so with kudos and thanks have reused the scans uploaded with the stock release. I was going to add this to the stock issue entry, but given its limited numbered edition status it should be on its own. I'm trying to decipher the artist signature on the piece and will add that info once I do (or if someone else knows it, please add!)
23skidoo 7th May 2021		CD Single Various Artists - Music Inspired By Pink Panther's Penthouse Party (2004)	Sleeve scan added. I couldn't remove the price sticker without ripping the thin paper sleeve.
23skidoo 19th Apr 2021		CD Single Various Artists - Doctor Who: Variations On A Theme (1991)	@gregs45s - a belated expansion of the comments above. The rear tray inlay features an image of the limited-edition square CD's cover (which was also the design used for the vinyl sleeve). I remember reading at the time that the square CD design did not work with some players. As a totally trivial aside, track 3 (the "Latin version") would later used as the theme music for a series of "Years" Doctor Who retrospectives (The Patrick Troughton Years, the Jon Pertwee Years, etc.) produced by BBC Video.
23skidoo 8th Apr 2018		CD Single Billie - Because We Want To (Radio Mix) (1998)	The version I have has the exact same catalogue number, UPC code, packaging - except the wording on the periphery of the CD label includes the words "Made in Canada" and there is a little note saying "Printed in Canada" on the inlay.
23skidoo 30th Apr 2015		CD Single Heroincredible - Pancake Land (2010)	Although the CD has no producer credit, having looked at the other CDs by this group the credit is likely to either Heroincredible or to Vanessa Cardui and Nicholas Stoll. Canadian sci-fi fans will remember this band as the warm-up act that used to play for people waiting to get into the Calgary Comic & Entertainment Expo in the early 2010s.
23skidoo 16th Nov 2014		CD Single The Pussycat Dolls Featuring Busta Rhymes - Don't Cha (Radio Edit) (2005)	Both tracks have the same title, but one features Busta and the other doesn't.
23skidoo 5th Nov 2014		CD Single Tori Amos - Winter (1992)	Just FYI I also have an alternate version of this, cat# 504CDX with different cover and track listing. Entering it now.
23skidoo 28th Oct 2014		CD Single The Comets - When I Die Just Bury Me At Wal*Mart (So My Wife Will Come And Visit Me!) (2007)	@Pomegranate. Works for me! Thanks!
23skidoo 26th Oct 2014		CD Single The Comets - When I Die Just Bury Me At Wal*Mart (So My Wife Will Come And Visit Me!) (2007)	@ Pomegranate. The bit about the performers on the single should be left in the Notes for the purposes of people doing searches. Searches don't appear to bring up information in the Comments section, so someone looking for Hollywood Argyles and Righteous Brothers might miss this.
23skidoo 4th Oct 2014		CD Single The Comets - When I Die Just Bury Me At Wal*Mart (So My Wife Will Come And Visit Me!) (2007)	As of 2014 this is the most recent released studio recording by the original Comets, and the last studio recording with the band with bass player Marshall Lytle. 2023 edit: As it turned out, with the passing of Dick and Joey in the intervening years, this was their final known studio recording. It's possible Paxton recorded more with them but if he did, nothing has emerged as of 2023 and of course Paxton himself died about six years ago.
23skidoo 22nd Sep 2014		CD Single Laibach - Sympathy For The Devil (Time For A Change) (1988)	Replacement entry for the error-filled one I submitted previously
23skidoo 3rd Sep 2014		CD Single Samuel L. Jackson - Go The Fuck To Sleep (2011)	As with "I am a Pole", given the total running time of this audio book is only 7 minutes (the spoken credits and legal matter, coupled with Jackson's introduction, almost equal the length of the book itself), I feel it justified to list this as a CD single as opposed to a full-length album. Although the cover shows the title as "Go the F--k to Sleep" with the "uc" obscured by an image of the moon, as per the original book, the full uncensored title is stated on the recording itself, most notably in the spoken copyright notice.
23skidoo 3rd Sep 2014		CD Single Stephen Colbert And Tom Hanks - I Am A Pole (And So Can You!) (2012)	Given the total running time of this audio book is only 8 minutes, I feel it justified to index it as a CD single rather than an album.
23skidoo 29th Aug 2014		CD Single Sinead O'Connor - Fire On Babylon (1994)	Canadian version was released in "thick" jewel box format, not the "narrow" format of the Netherlands release.
23skidoo 19th Aug 2014		CD Single Enya - On My Way Home (1996)	The version I have has the same cat# but says Made in Germany, and is otherwise completely different, with different track listing except the title track. I'm going to create a new entry for it.
23skidoo 13th Aug 2014		CD Single Gillette - Do Fries Go With That Shake? (Original Mix) (1996)	For the record, that is not an error: the Cat# for this CD single is the same as its UPC barcode number.
