Comments and Reviews


Gill Sans SUBS 7th Dec 2015		Warlock's prize-winning tear-jerker, for choir alone



Gill Sans SUBS 6th Dec 2015		My feeling is that the majority of classical CD releases almost from the start have been 'International' and the idea of release nationality is of diminishing relevance. A 'record club' release is one of the occasional cases where a country can confidently be ascribed to the release. I favour keeping this release shown as 'International' but I am always happy to defer to a higher authority.



gregs45s SUBS 3rd Dec 2015		@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.;)



PhilMH 3rd Dec 2015		Chances are that International would still be ok, as it would most likely have been released in Australia too, we usually got the European pressings of PolyGram's and Universal's classical issues (with Australian pressings on budget series like Belart or Eloquence). I imagine that this would only have had one press run for Europe/Rest of the World, as it would have had a short shelf life, being a Christmas album.



gregs45s SUBS 3rd Dec 2015		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).



Gill Sans SUBS 3rd Dec 2015		Thanks for the suggestion Phil, now actioned



PhilMH 15th Nov 2015		The fact that this is on London rather than Decca suggests to me that this was intended for the Americas (where the Decca name was owned by MCA Records, not PolyGram) as well as the UK and Europe, and maybe PolyGram didn't consider it worthwhile to produce separate pressings for the different regions, so I would make this International.



Gill Sans SUBS 11th Nov 2015		Someone's just put this on YT, and to date it's had 4 'views' If you love the tragic sensuality of Vaughan Williams, and if you admire the work of David Hill, you may like to give it a few more views Put your headphones on, or dig out the monitor speakers, for when the organ comes in...
