gregs45s SUBS 7th Sep 2022		Classical Item The Choir Of King's College, Cambridge, His Majestys Sagbutts And Cornetts, Stephen Cleobury - 1615 (2015)	There are two formats of audio Discs here, one is an SACD, while the other is a Blu-ray Audio, i have put it under SACD as we don't have a multi-format option.
gregs45s SUBS 22nd Jun 2022		Classical Item Quartz Ensemble, Michel Lysight - Cosmographies	Temporary images only as this one's still sealed, feel free to replace any/all scans.
gregs45s SUBS 18th Apr 2020		Classical Item Various Artists - The Classical Chillout Box (2003)	Interesting, thanks for the info.
gregs45s SUBS 16th Apr 2020		Classical Item Various Artists - The Classical Chillout Box (2003)	[YouTube Video] Sublime
gregs45s SUBS 15th Mar 2020		Classical Item Various Artists - A Treasury of Concert Favourites (1966)	@lorangrecords Blimey!, nice work, i admire your patience...i get shivers every time i look at the Wagner 10 CD box set that's been sitting on my desk for about a year now;)
gregs45s SUBS 27th Apr 2019		Classical Item Various Artists - Great Pianists Of The 20th Century (1998)	As it's a rainy day......;) This sampler is a selection of tracks from a 200! (yes,200!!) CD box set.Phew!,that would be a fun one to enter ;),anybody got one out of interest?
gregs45s SUBS 8th Dec 2018		Classical Item Concerto Köln - Vivaldi (2016)	The booklet and the inside of the Digipak both have a gold coloured marble effect,which does not show in the scans.
gregs45s SUBS 5th Jun 2018		Classical Item Alexei Lubimov - Der Bote: Elegies for Piano (2002)	@MM Thanks for that MM,and i understand the limitations at the moment,perhaps it could be added as an option later-on?. I think that it's right as it is at the mo label-wise,as it has both ECM Records on the back/Disc,and ECM NEW SERIES on the spines/Disc (ECM NEW SERIES being a branch of ECM) cheers.
gregs45s SUBS 4th Jun 2018		Classical Item Alexei Lubimov - Der Bote: Elegies for Piano (2002)	"ECM NEW SERIES" is a label,and not a series as the name might suggest. I've asked for the additional Cat.No's "461 812-2" and "ECM 1771" to be added,as you can't add additional Cat.No's on Classical World (unless i've missed something;)
gregs45s SUBS 4th Mar 2018		Classical Item Philharmonia Orchestra, Charles Dutoit - Danse Macabre (1981)	With all due respect,it should perhaps be made clear that LP's are still to be entered by country of manufacture,after all,in reality,only a small percentage of members will be aware of the distribution history of any particular record surely,so,if it's made in a European country say the Netherlands,for instance,unless you know that it was issued in either another European country (in which case European),or elsewhere worldwide (in which case International),it should be entered as just "Netherlands" (or wherever it was made),and left at that,then,if at a later date,a member has information about it's distribution,it can be changed. It's bad enough on CD Album World,please,lets not confuse members further when it comes to adding an LP,let's have at least one world where items can be added under the country of manufacture,for simplicity,even if they might indeed need to be changed at a later date. (PS I of course realise,that many records were made in one country for distribution in another,and may not have been sold in the originating country,but,i believe that the country of origin should be the one that members use when adding an album,as a first port of call,unless,of course,they know otherwise at the time of posting) (PPS An identification issue may also arise,at least when it comes to searches,if,for example you are searching for this "Netherlands" release in particular, the only way to find it will be by actually clicking on this "International" release to see where it came from ,because the only mention the "Netherlands" will get,is in the comments or notes , i.e,if you tap in "Camile Saint- Saens Netherlands", it currently does not find anything,because "Netherlands" has not been added to the notes,so we will need to make sure that any countries are added to the notes if changing to "European" or "International",a point i've made in the past (if you see where i'm coming from ;) Addenda : In all honestly,i don't think that changing an entry to International serves any purpose,if an entry is known to have been issued in more than one country,then surely,in terms of search-ability,rather than changing the entire entry to "International"as we are currently doing,and as such,losing it's "identity",that it would be better to simply add to the notes : "Issued in......." "Issued in ......" That way,the counties are searchable as they are in the notes,and it's ID left as "Netherlands",again,to aid searches,otherwise we will end up with thousands of "International" albums,with no clue to their origin,because all you will be presented with is a thumb-nail of the album cover and "International".
gregs45s SUBS 12th Feb 2018		Classical Item Philharmonia Orchestra, Charles Dutoit - Danse Macabre (1981)	@PhilMH Thanks for the extra info,as for the International thing though,i'm not sure to be honest,don't we still use the country of manufacture when it comes to vinyl albums? (i haven't added any vinyl for a while,or has it changed?),i.e Netherlands,otherwise,surely,all the entries on Vinyl Album world from the Netherlands or Germany etc.,and that have European retail price/distribution codes,will need changing to Europe,if that's the case.
gregs45s SUBS 11th Feb 2018		Classical Item Philharmonia Orchestra, Charles Dutoit - Danse Macabre (1981)	;) Indeed MM,i'm sure these reviewer's think we all have £50-grand hi-fi's in an anechoic chamber at home;) (PS have you noticed i've time-warped back to gregs45s? (oh!,to be young again;)
gregs45s SUBS 11th Feb 2018		Classical Item Philharmonia Orchestra, Charles Dutoit - Danse Macabre (1981)	Ah,yes,good spot MM,i did wonder what the "TAS Listed" was all about,will look out for them from now on,cheers :)
gregs45s SUBS 11th Feb 2018		Classical Item Philharmonia Orchestra, Charles Dutoit - Danse Macabre (1981)	This one seems to command a fairly hefty price ( and here) for a 1981 album,any ideas why?
gregs45s SUBS 15th Jan 2018		Classical Item Marek Janowski,Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra - Robert Schumann (1986)	Sponsored by ICI.
gregs45s SUBS 7th Jan 2018		Classical Item Aram Khachaturian Conducting The Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra - Spartacus, Gayaneh (1963)	With a nod to keebrev,a slightly tidier cover added for your moderation,along with a label variation.
gregs45s SUBS 11th Sep 2017		Classical Item John Tavener, BT Scottish Ensemble - Tears Of The Angels (1998)	Nice one MM :) (as an afterthought,"DVD Audio"might also be worth adding to classical world,i've added one or two,and i think Naxos has released a few,we appear to have "DVD",but i'm not sure if that's for the visual product,i.e,if it is,we could do with both DVD and DVD Audio;)
gregs45s SUBS 8th Sep 2017		Classical Item John Tavener, BT Scottish Ensemble - Tears Of The Angels (1998)	Understood,thanks MM.
gregs45s SUBS 1st Jul 2017		Classical Item Michael Nyman - The Piano: Original Music From The Film By Jane Campion (1993)	Couple more scans added. Additional/secondary Cat.No. - 7243 8 39549 2 6
gregs45s SUBS 3rd Jan 2017		Classical Item Various Artists - A Clockwork Orange (1972)	Yes MM,another "cash-in" i think (albeit contemporary),it doesn't follow the track running order of the "official" soundtrack very closely .It's not one you see very often either (at least,i haven't,Discogs doesn't have it yet,they've just got the US version LSC-3268;)
gregs45s SUBS 22nd May 2016		Classical Item Various Artists - Masterworks Of The Baroque (1965)	:) Ha Ha,yeah,not such a good idea then (perhaps it would be an opportunity to make use of that rubber suit in the wardrobe;).Alas MM i am far from an expert in electronics or vinyl composition,although your reasoning makes sense,so i can't help you there i'm afraid.An interesting issue though,i will keep an eye/ear out for it.
gregs45s SUBS 21st May 2016		Classical Item Various Artists - Masterworks Of The Baroque (1965)	A while back,i worked in an Electronics company that assembled onto Printed Circuit Boards,and everybody had to make sure that they had an earth strap (attached to the wrist,and then to a rubber mat on their bench via a wire) before they were allowed to assemble,as,the human body can carry a static charge,which had to be dissipated .( I'm not suggesting you do the same tho MM,it could be a problem when the phone rings ;)
gregs45s SUBS 21st May 2016		Classical Item Various Artists - Masterworks Of The Baroque (1965)	(ref your previous comment) .It sounds like static MM,there are quite a few "Anti-Static" products out there ,including turntable mats.inner sleeves,cleaners etc,perhaps one,or more may solve the problem?.
gregs45s SUBS 7th Apr 2016		Classical Item David Juritz, London Mozart Players - Vivaldi (2001)	Mods : Is there any chance of adding "DVD Audio" to the format's in Classical World?,There's only a DVD option at the moment.
gregs45s SUBS 19th Mar 2016		Classical Item Jocelyn Pook - Deluge (1997)	More scans added.
gregs45s SUBS 3rd Dec 2015		Classical Item Choir Of Winchester Cathedral - Christmas Fantasy (1995)	@PhilMH,I'm sorry,but i'd have to disagree on this one, without resorting to guessing,we know for sure that this was issued in Europe,and i believe it should be changed to that.Until someone can confirm that this Cat.No./label/barcode was issued elsewhere,in which case it can be changed to International.What you say may indeed turn out to be true,but surely we can't just go on hunches.I've had a quick search and can only find this European release and the US one,i believe the equivalent Australian release was on Australian Eloquence ELQ 4806554 (different label/Cat/barcode),sorry to harp-on,but i think it's important that we just stick to the facts wherever possible. Greg.;)
gregs45s SUBS 3rd Dec 2015		Classical Item Choir Of Winchester Cathedral - Christmas Fantasy (1995)	I'm not so sure guys,i think this is the European only release,the US release is here[http://www.discogs.com/viewimages?release=4980199(a club release,without barcode).
gregs45s SUBS 18th Nov 2015		Classical Item Arthur Grumiaux - Bach: Violin Concertos	As usual,please feel free to replace any/all images.By the way,is it still OK to add images to Classical World?(i know it's a bit after the fact;),or am i just wasting my time?
gregs45s SUBS 8th Nov 2015		Classical Item Philip Glass - Violin Concerto (2000)	Temp scans only (sealed).
gregs45s SUBS 24th Jul 2015		Classical Item Dudley Moore - Dudley Moore Plays The Grieg Piano Concerto (1995)	Dudley,quite an accomplished pianist (when sober;)
