Billy Two 30th Jul 2013		CD Single U2 - Discotheque (1997)	You're quite right, thanks for pointing that out ! The two have now been merged...

Billy Two 2nd Feb 2013		CD Single Shakin' Stevens - Now Listen	That's the one, Deltics. UMG tried sueing Troy Augustos. From the Wiki entry : "Augusto argued that he owned title to the CD copies he sold under three theories. The printed licenses on the promo CDs were invalid The original recipients were allowed to treat the CDs as a gift according to federal law The CDs were abandoned by UMG according to California law If any one of these were upheld by the court, Augusto would win. The court supported both 1 and 2 but rejected 3, and thus ruled that UMG transferred title of the CDs to the original recipients. Therefore Augusto was the owner of the CDs when he sold them and was not violating UMG's rights."
Billy Two 1st Feb 2013		CD Single Shakin' Stevens - Now Listen	I thought a legal case in the US had put an end to this sorry-arsed practice of banning promo sales ? It's counterproductive (as it's the avid collector fans that really lose out as it becomes rarer so they have to pay more), comes over as neanderthally heavy handed in its arbitrariness, and for gods sake you'd think that if someone was interested in a Shakin Stevens track six years after its release then the record company (and Shaky himself) would be jumping around with joy ! Little Hitlerian outlooked men behind desks with no proper knowledge or interest in the love of music itself, who wield their little bit of power at us because they can...come on out ! Show yourselves ! Let's hear why selling a one track Shaky promo over half a decade after its release is going to destroy the music industry !!
Billy Two 21st Jan 2013		CD Single 2K - ***k The Millennium(Radio Edit) 4.18 (1997)	Name changed to 2K, band linked to KLF. Hopefully that's the correct outcome !
Billy Two 20th Dec 2012		CD Single The Coral - Skeleton Key EP (2002)	Deltasonics nice and orderly indie-type cat#'s seemed to disappear for a bit around this time, though were thankfully re-instated for later releases...
Billy Two 15th Dec 2012		CD Single The Flaming Lips - Race For The Prize (Remix) (1999)	Just by pure coincidence I just added a Morrissey single that has a big "CD 1" sticker on the front. I'd have to say I'm with Dr.D on this in thinking CD1 / CD2 is the widely used and accepted term. A double cd would be labelled as 2CD - the second of a two part set is CD 2. There doesn't appear to be a CD 1 option on the drop down list yet, though. If we can add something as "CD 2" shouldn't there also be a "CD 1" option ?
Billy Two 13th Dec 2012		CD Single The Who - My Generation (1996)	Not sure we're on the same track here, Leonard ? It's not about the act, but about the item. To not have a UK charted release under UK would be to imply it's an import, which may be the case in some instances but certainly wouldn't be an all over rule. I do understand that this leads to the same item being entered multiple times under different countries, but I've never seen that as a problem - more a case of getting things exact. Aaaanyhow - just realised that I've been sucked into "this" argument again, when I promised myself never again a year ago. I'm totally happy with whatever any one agrees on this. I don't want no trouble, man.
Billy Two 13th Dec 2012		CD Single The Who - My Generation (1996)	I think we also need to look at whether a release entered a country's chart. If this entered the UK chart, then surely there'd be a valid case for it being entered as UK ? (ps. I've no idea whether it did or not !!)
Billy Two 13th Dec 2012		CD Single Gorky's Zygotic Mynci - Merched Yn Neud Gwallt Eu Gilydd (1994)	Apologies - should've been '94 (added now). Added this quickly before going out for the evening, just to see how it all worked !
