GEMSMFAN 25th Feb 2013		CD Single The Church - Megalopolis (1990)	this is a promo... Arista ASCD prefix indicates this. Commercial CD's use 07822-.....-2
GEMSMFAN 25th Feb 2013		CD Single Erasure - It Doesn't Have To Be (1987)	this has 7 different tracks. According to CD World guidelines, more than 4 tracks other than a mixes CD same track(s) are really like "mini-albums". This is decscribed in a Forum. https://www.45worlds.com/cdsingle/cs_forum_topic_view.php?t=50
GEMSMFAN 25th Feb 2013		CD Single The Beach Boys - Stars And Stripes (1996)	does this qualify as a CD single? it's more than 4 different tracks and would be classified as a "mini-album" or CD EP. Read this forum: https://www.45worlds.com/cdsingle/cs_forum_topic_view.php?t=50
GEMSMFAN 24th Feb 2013		CD Single Agnetha Fältskog - If I Thought You'd Ever Change Your Mind (2004)	how could this be released on the day of commercial release? promos are distributed before to allow airplay sometime before going on sale to buyers. this looks like Germany, not UK
GEMSMFAN 24th Feb 2013		CD Single Agnetha Fältskog - The Last Time (Extended Remix) (1988)	as far as the front insert image. why does Agnetha look like she has a tan. my copy doesn't look like that... merely over processing an image (heavy contrast)... trying to improve colors on something that really shouldn't get it.
GEMSMFAN 24th Feb 2013		CD Single Agnetha Fältskog - The Last Time (Extended Remix) (1988)	this isn't Austria (which is where many European 3" CDs were pressed), but Germany note GEMA, on the disc, which is their Rights Society Germany is also mentioned on the insert at bottom, the German city, Alsdorf
GEMSMFAN 22nd Feb 2013		CD Single Michael Jackson - You Rock My World Intro (2001)	this is more than likely "Europe" and not Austria (which is only where it was pressed). one could argue that the right society is SACEM, which would be France, but this CD was probably available the same throughout the EU.
GEMSMFAN 22nd Feb 2013		CD Single Whitney Houston - I Wanna Dance With Somebody (Who Loves Me) (12" Remix) (1987)	.
GEMSMFAN 22nd Feb 2013		CD Single Whitney Houston - I Wanna Dance With Somebody (Who Loves Me) (12" Remix) (1987)	written by the duo, Boy Meets Girl
GEMSMFAN 16th Feb 2013		CD Single Belinda Carlisle - Little Black Book (1992)	no comment
GEMSMFAN 16th Feb 2013		CD Single Gloria Estefan - Oye (Spanish Album Version) (1998)	Quicksilver: I'm well aware of that. Do you see Argentina in the Country selection? I've made several suggestions to have it added and asked that a moderator change this. No results yet.
GEMSMFAN 12th Feb 2013		CD Single Ace Of Base - Cruel Summer (1998)	new comments: I did an edit on the disc image with lukewarm results... not nearly as sharp, but atleast it is much closer to what the disc looks like. I used a slightly coarse "dummy" disc placed in front.. note the off center CD hole, anyway this process eliminated all of the annoying color bands of blue and orange. my original comments were: when viewing the disc image, there are no scratches over the text area (right side), on the disc. I placed 2 clear plastic "dummy" CD's (which have scratches) in front of this "mirrored" disc, to somewhat shield some of the reflection from the scanner lamp, which would have otherwise, really darkened everything. obviously, the blue/brown color are as a result of scanning. one unique feature on the packaging. while the sleeve is a gatefold, the CD doesn't slide into the right side, from left (inside image), but rather from the top on right! (over Spanish text)
GEMSMFAN 12th Feb 2013		CD Single Ace Of Base - The Sign (Ultimix) (1994)	released in a slimline case with J-card picture insert Only this single and "Don't Turn Around", were released in the U.S., in slimline cases.
GEMSMFAN 10th Feb 2013		CD Single Madonna - Cherish (Fade) (1989)	very poor image, sorry.. unfortunately "mirrored" discs (no slight silk-screening on silver reflective) don't scan properly. tried editing in black & white, for a slightly improved image scanned through 2 clear discs
GEMSMFAN 5th Feb 2013		CD Single Beyoncé And Shakira - Beautiful Liar (Album Version) (2007)	shouldn't the artists be: "Beyoncé", "Shakira"?, no "And" unless it's a band... this is merely a one off duet.
GEMSMFAN 4th Feb 2013		CD Single ABBA*Teens - Mamma Mia (Radio Version) (1999)	They were ABBATeens for this one release, using the ABBA trademark and had to change it. The name was shortened to ATeens.
GEMSMFAN 2nd Feb 2013		CD Single Alannah Myles - Black Velvet (1989)	your CD is a "Promo"
GEMSMFAN 2nd Feb 2013		CD Single The Beach Boys - I Can Hear Music (1996)	Artist should be "The Beach Boys Featuring Kathy Troccoli", not "The Beach Boys". note The Beach Boys really only do back-up harmonies, while Kathy sings lead vocals on this. I realize your disc headlines, The Beach Boys,.. that's fine, but Kathy's name needs to be part of the open link, even though it creates a new "artist" and separates it from the other releases. When someone searches "The Beach Boys" this will come up too and possibly be part of the page.
GEMSMFAN 2nd Feb 2013		CD Single Gloria Estefan - Megamix (1993)	the disc label image is very poor due to the clear mirror reflection which creates an almost "black" effect when the scanner light crosses it. I did the best with image software to present a somewhat readable disc. This is one of the rare times I altered (processed) an image. Otherwise, I simply scan, crop, save and upload.
GEMSMFAN 27th Jan 2013		CD Single The Corrs - Give Me A Reason (Cutfather And Joe Remix) (2001)	I sent a correction request on this. Just noticed that it is infact Australian! Just too good to be true, to get a "free poster" on a USA release by The Corrs. In the USA, the labels aren't too generous with giving "extras" to help boost sales.
GEMSMFAN 27th Jan 2013		CD Single The Corrs - Breathless (2000)	this is not a U.S. release. UK or "Europe", yes. USA didn't have "AT" prefix for Atlantic label
GEMSMFAN 26th Jan 2013		CD Single Gloria Estefan - Reach (Album Version) (1996)	Track 02, needs Pablo Flores, Javier Garza added to Producer (note "additional production by"), in your image (back of inner sheet)
GEMSMFAN 26th Jan 2013		CD Single Gloria Estefan - Cuts Both Ways (1990)	unable to scan a good image of this disc as it is still sealed.
GEMSMFAN 26th Jan 2013		CD Single Gloria Estefan - Felicidad (1996)	same is true on this release from Spain. No mention of a "promo", yet it bears a "SAMPCS" prefix. Commercial releases in the CBS/Epic catalog for Europe, use a 6-digit number followed by a space and another single digit.
GEMSMFAN 26th Jan 2013		CD Single Gloria Estefan - Lejos De Ti (1996)	ordinarily the "SAMP", "SAMPCD" or a similar series of letters, indicates a promo in the European CBS CD catalog, although oddly this release mentions nothing anywhere about being one.
GEMSMFAN 22nd Jan 2013		CD Single Gloria Estefan - Oye (Radio Edit) (1998)	this single probably was available in other parts of Europe, but because it's still sealed and the rest speaks for itself
GEMSMFAN 20th Jan 2013		CD Single Agnetha Fältskog And Peter Cetera - I Wasn't The One (Who Said Goodbye) (1988)	Track 02 artist is incorrect, not a duet, just Agnetha Fältskog alone.
